Description
This piece has been featured in the FAA Groups, "Colorful Lilies" and "Macro Photography Group".
'Pardon Me' is a vigorous miniature cultivar which features 3-inch diameter bright cranberry red flowers with yellow-green throats. Petals have pie crust ruffled edges, sepals are smooth, both are slightly recurved. Flowers appear on naked stems (scapes) which typically rise to 24" tall above a clump of arching, linear, blade-like leaves. Flowers are fragrant. Individual flowers open for one day. Blooms in late mid-season with a possible repeat bloom in autumn.
Daylily is the general nonscientific name of a species, hybrid or cultivar of the genus Hemerocallis. Daylily cultivar flowers are highly diverse in colour and form, as a result of hybridization efforts of gardening enthusiasts and professional horticulturalists. Thousands of registered cultivars are appreciated and studied by local and international Hemerocallis societies. Hemerocallis is now placed in family Xanthorrhoeaceae, subfamily Hemerocallidoideae, and formerly was part of Liliaceae (which includes true lilies).
The daylily is often called "the perfect perennial," due to its dazzlings colors, ability to tolerate drought, capability to thrive in many zones, and requiring very little care. Daylilies thrive in full sun, although certain daylilies require partial shade, depending on color. Lighter shades, such as yellow, pink, and pastels require the sun to bring out all of their color. Darker daylilies, such as some red and purple flowers, need shade because their darker colors absorb heat.

I think the black and white shows a different personality of the lily. Thank you, Connie! ...J.
