There are literally thousands of varieties of daylilies that
have different textures, colors, shapes and sizes. While I don’t have very many
in my garden, this Ruby Spider is one of my favorite perennial flowers. The
flower may only last a day or two but when the plant is blooming – it is
spectacular. Each flower is about 8”in diameter and the gold throat is
surrounded by a brilliant maroon on the petals. In my garden, it usually blooms
for a couple of weeks at the end of July. In 2013, the last bud opened on
Friday morning before Garden Walk weekend and was gone by Saturday. Even if
garden visitors missed it, I still enjoyed its magnificent beauty.
