Daylilies only look like a true lily.
And there are many people who, even knowing that, can't tell a real lily from a daylily. The differences are quite obvious once you get to know them. First of all, lilies tend to grow on an upright stalk that has little leaves growing around it all the way up and down. Daylilies, on the other hand, have blade-shaped foliage that grows in a fan shape somewhat like bearded irises. More important, a lily bloom will open and remain on the plant for several days - even weeks.
