By now if you can't tell that I really like my day lilies then you haven't been paying any attention. These flowers are short lived but have a lot of color. One of the benefits is that, as long as the conditions are favorable for it, they will keep putt on flowers.
This year the temperatures have been significantly lower than average and thus the blooming time has extended all month. Of course if you keep them watered well they can go even longer.
I should be able to cross them soon when I get more blooms at a time. The plants make pods with round black seeds, a dozen or more at a time. I crossed the lily I use for my avatar myself. Unfortunately I planted it on the north side of the house and it got very little sun. It died back and didn't return.
I now have 4 places I'm growing lilies and keeping a good eye on them. I don't plan to have that happen again. They also like being dug up and replanted. The one on the front right of the house in the front planter was not really dug and divided like the rest of them have been and it shows. It's put on some flowers but not like the rest. Come fall I'll dig him up, divide, and replant more spaced out, probably 4-5 dimes the space. Thinking doing the same around the tree and putting lilies there too. I should have more than enough by then.
Planning on getting a greenhouse soon too. Not sure how soon, maybe next year even, but sooner than I thought. I was looking at 6-7 years out. Rushing a plan is never a good idea. See how things are working and plan accordingly. You can always revise a plan whereas revising a yard is a lot more difficult.
