Daylilies have been hybridzed into a variety of shapes. Part of the delight of viewing daylilies in a garden setting is the constrast between the various sizes and forms. Below you will find text and illustrations of some of the forms daylily flowers may exibit. Photo by Tim Fehr, used with permission. When viewed from the front of a bloom , the flower appears round.
Segments tend to be short, wide and stubby, and generally overlap, giving a full appearance.
Double daylilies , like single daylilies , come in differing forms. They may appear as irregular or asymmetrical extra petaloids. Photo by Tim Fehr, used with permission. When viewed from side of bloom, flowers are perfectly flat except for the concave throat . Photo by Rebecca Board, used with permission.
