The image shows a lush garden setting with a vibrant display of daylilies (Hemerocallis spp.), particularly focusing on a pinkish-orange variety.

🌸 Flower Description:

• Color: The featured flowers are a soft coral or peach with a slightly ruffled edge, fading into a deeper yellow or golden throat.

• Petals: There are typically 6 petals (3 true petals and 3 petaloid sepals), forming a trumpet shape.

• Size: Medium to large in size, around 4–6 inches in diameter.

• Arrangement: Multiple blooms per stalk, but each individual bloom usually lasts only a day, hence the name daylily.

🌿 Stamens and Stems:

• Stamens: Each bloom has 6 prominent stamens with yellow pollen-covered anthers.

• Stems (Scapes): The flower stems, or scapes, are upright and leafless, emerging from the base of the plant. They're strong enough to support multiple blooms.

• Leaves: The leaves are long, arching, and strap-like—bright green and grass-like in appearance.

• Garden Use: Widely cultivated around the world in gardens due to their hardiness and low maintenance.
