The red snapdragons and orange daylilies in this image are at the far end of the side flower beds. This angle gives a notion of how tall they are, as those brown steps in the background lead to a deck just outside one of the side doors. The deck reaches about to my waist, and I’m long-legged. These aren’t the tallest of the daylilies, either.
Incidentally, “daylilies” get their name from the fact that each individual blossom is only open for about a day. However, each flower stalk this year is loaded with many individual blossoms and they don’t all open at once. The result is that the daylilies bloom for about a month, from the first flower opening until the last one is spent.
