I tell ya Carol, It's got me stumped!! I've been lookin' at it and lookin' at it??? It's like I should know it, I've seen it, it seems, but just can't get the brain into remembering it!!!
What kind of soil is it growing in? It's interesting how it comes out of the stalks like that, leaves, then stalk, leaves, and then stalk, etc., then the stalk and flowers.....
I'm thinking, but I'm stumped!!
Doesn't help, does it??? Weezie

Well....it is a daylily....but exactly which one, I am not sure. Would have to pull out the books (and there is a mountain of them) to search for the name. Sure is pretty though.

Thanks so much to Bill for posting the thing. He was so kind as to not tell the whole story. I actually grew these plants from seeds a few years ago and can't remember what they were! This old gardener is getting just a little senile. Hadn't thought of it being a daylily. Makes sense since it blooms when the others do. Its in regular soil, right next to a coneflower and some heuchera. Seems to be very happy there, has bloomed for about 3 or 4 years. Is this the reason gardeners keep journals? Think I should start? Thanks, again, Bill.

What you have is called a blackberry lily or belamcanda. I planted 2 clumps a few years ago and now they've spread out quite bit. The black seeds that form after flowering resemble that of a blackberry, hence the name blackberry lily.

Thanks, Alan You are so right about the seeds. I have some in a little plastic bag labeled with a "?". Now I can give them a name. Thanks a bunch.
