day lilies

Very showy flower (no spots) appearing to have 6 petals (3 petals, 3 sepals that look like petals), inside of flower yellow, outside orange, 6 stamens. Multitude of color varieties. Slightly sweet with a mild vegetable flavor, like asparagus, zucchini and melon. Cut the sweet petals away from the bitter white base of the flower. In the spring, use very young shoots as a substitute for asparagus. NOTE: Many Lilies are NOT edible. Double check and research the ones you have. Day lilies may have diuretic or laxative effect. Don’t overdo it.
