{Our Double Orange Daylily or Hemerocallis}

On July 28, a dear blogger friend, Suzi from The Smart Cat, did post about Good and Bad... When scrolling down, past her hippo, you will find her double orange dailily. As a reply to the comment that I left her she stated that she would love to see Our Double Orange Dailily or Hemerocallis. In keeping that promise, here it is:
These beauties are a gift as they just showed up on our property.
Birds? Who knows...
They show large raindrops in this photo, taken on June 17 by husband Pieter after he just had buried our Sacha-girl...
Maybe those were tears from heaven?
Lots of raindrops and lots of weeds too.
No chance this year for tidying our garden.
The hose on the ground has not been used at all this summer.
Just the other day when Pieter went to work on the bridge, near the road, he noticed some sloppy mess near our electric pump. Something orange sticking out... When he went to check it out he noticed that his heavy duty 100 ft extension cord had been cut off and stolen! Since there was absolutely no use for running the pump to water the plants with all our torrential rains, he had not noticed it before.
Nice people that trespass one's property for stealing things!
They might cash in on all the copper that is inside for getting cash in order to buy some more dope...

      Haha, weeds don't pop up unexpectedly but due to our torrential rain. We have another thunderstorm and it is pouring down as I write...

  4. Hello Mariette, It is frightening how people are willing to do such desecration to obtain small quantities of copper. As someone who loves old buildings, I worry about vandalism to obtain old copper gutters, flashing, screens, etc.

    Your double day lily is very exotic-looking. I like the old-fashioned look of beds of day lilies, some dating from the 19th century; Euell Gibbons in his books has expounded on their edible properties, which I tried and found quite good.

    1. Dear Jim,
      It indeed is a desecration!
      We love our double day lilies.
      As for the edible properties, indeed the are suitable for that. On June 7 I did mention them for that use. I've not eaten them yet.
      Thanks for your visit and always interesting comments.

  5. Wat een prachtige lelie Mariette! Het blad ziet er ook nog zo mooi uit. Bij ons wordt veel opgegeten door de rode leliehaantjes. Ze zijn erg mooi om te zien, maar van de lelie blijft niet veel meer over wanneer ze honger hebben!

    Fijne zondag!

      We had such a humid day; too hot for walking... Real Feel over 100°F. We just had our daily thunderstorm with heavy rain.
      Good that we do have some pretty flowers to surprise us once in a while.
      People stealing things is such a low act!

  10. Lieve Mariette,

    Dat moet wel opvallen zo'n fel oranje bloem in jullie tuin.

    Ben wel een liefhebber van lelie....maar dat ligt aan mijn gemoedstoestand...
    paar keer per jaar koop ik een groot boeket witte lelies,de stelen mogen lang blijven,ze moeten voor mij in glazen vaas en vrij staan,jaha....wat bloemen betreft heb ik nog al wat noten op mijn zang(iedereen in mijn omgeving weet daarvan)

    Ja, er zijn helaas altijd mensen die niet van andermans spullen af kunnen blijven met hun tengels.Hier zijn ze zo happig op koper dat ze er zelfs hun leven voor wagen.

    Fijne zondag en lieve groet!!

      Prachtig ja zo'n mooie felgekleurde lelie is heel bijzonder.
      Witte lelies zijn altijd erg mooi en die calla lelies b.v. die houden zich ook best lang in een vaas.
      Goed verwoord ja dat er bepaalde mensen zijn die niet met hun tengels van andermans spullen af kunnen blijven. Ooit komen die ook hun rechter tegen.
      Mooie nieuwe week en liefs,

  11. Dearest Mariette,
    Thanks for sharing those pictures of yet another beauty. We have seen Lilies in lighter yellow with a little hint of Orange, but not this shade of Orange.

    Oh the nerve of those people to trespass and destroy someone else's belongings.
    I am hoping for the day when people will respect and value each other and their properties.

    1. Dearest Munir,
      Yes, this one is so vivid in color, a beauty on its own.
      A few percent of society always create problems for others. Respect for each other and other peoples property seems to be out of the window. Morals have declined and what Hollywood is producing is by far a good example to our youth. The lack of so many fathers in broken families is the main cause!

  12. Dearest Mariette,
    Oh, beautiful lilies with this rare shade of orange color♡♡♡ We can guess how you must felt then; "tears from heaven"!!! In Japan, it seems so much rain in one place and no rain in another place. So sad and sorry to hear about the theft. As I couldn't get the reason well, your explanation surprised me a little.

    Have a wonderful Sunday, my friend. Sending you lots of love and hugs from Japan, xoxo Miyako*

      This shade of orange and the double form makes them quite exotic looking. A joy to have them and regardless with or without 'tears from heaven'. We just had another thunderstorm coming down upon our garden...
      Oh, those people go after copper and don't care at all; no respect for another man's property at all.
      Hugs to you and wishing you a happy new week.

  15. Just showed up on your property - how lucky you are, Mariette! Yesterday, I moved the day lilies that were in an overgrown flower box. I just did away with the box altogether - in an unfortunate location that made it too much work. I hope the lilies like their new home! <3

      As for your day lilies liking their new home depends of course on the location where you replanted them. With some rain they will keep on 'living'.

  16. Dearest Mariette,

    Your lilies are gorgeous. They look like a slightly different variety from mine.

    What is it about these flowers? They seem to be spreading joy throughout the world without any human help.

    When I rescued mine from my other house the deer had done such a job on them that they were nothing more than small leaves poking up in the dirt. I've been nursing them in a pot for several years now. I think finally they are ready to put in the ground.

    Thanks for the link to my blog. It's always appreciated.

    Enjoy the week ahead....*s*

      Sometimes seeds are being transported by wind or by birds and it can result in some lovely surprises. Day lilies are a regal looking flower with lots of pride; even in its leaves.
      Hugs to you and a happy new week.

  17. Dearest Mariette, You daylily gift from above looks so stunning against the black background of your blog. I know that often the simplest pleasure just appears when we need it most.
    As the jerk that stole the extension cord, I just say to him as my mom used to say to me. "Any thing you steal you will pay back in medical bills!" I always imagined, if I stole something I would have to get a shot from the doctor. It worked for me, maybe the thief's mamma should have used that one.
