Common Tawny Daylily or Tigerlily

The daylilies near the basement entrance have finally bloomed!

I was so happy to see the bright orange blooms amongst the overgrown garden of weeds and mints.

They’ve also spread through the gardens to a few other locations, including the gardens that the forest have reclaimed and the sloped garden near the back door.

Wikipedia’s description of the Common Tawny Daylily, Tigerlily, or Hemerocallis fulva, notes that this daylily is considered an invasive species, so keeping control of the “crop” will be vital. We may transplant them to line the lane when we expand the deck over this area.
