Daylily Seed Pods!

This morning I discovered a few seed pods on our daylily. Until today I didn’t know that a daylily can actually grow from seed. I noticed that our daylilies were particularly thick and the flowers in one area were more yellow than what I had planted. Hindsight I believe a plant must have grown from seed. Apparently they won’t necessarily resemble the plant that produced the seed.

I really hope the pods get to dry up before frost so I can plant them next year. Perennials don’t typically bloom the first year. I hope these bloom the second year because at my age you don’t want to be waiting too many years!
