Wild Daylilies


 Early June and the wild daylilies are ablaze along roadsides and branches. I planted his particular clomp during our early years here and they always make me smile when they begin to open.

Back when we were living in the barn, I experimented with tempura daylily flowers--delicious and slightly oniony tasting but a lot of trouble--and we also added the buds to stir fry--pretty good but, as I recall, a tad slimy.

I think I tried frying in butter, the buds once or twice. Prefer to just look at the daily flowers!

Like Barbara, I'd rather enjoy the flowers on the plant.

I planted some and later tried to eradicate them. I failed and we have come to detente. .

I have stalks but no buds close to opening yet.
