History and Etymology: Daylilies are native to parts of Asia, and have been selectively cultivated and bred for centuries. There are special species that are edible, others that are poisonous, and some species that were bred purely for color. It's name comes from the Greek goddess of the day, Hemera, and the Greek word "kalos", meaning "beautiful".

Flower Symbolism: Most commonly being yellow, daylilies are somewhat associated with the sun and happiness. Another listed meaning I've found is "Chinese emblem of the mother", which I find interesting.

Fun Facts:

The edible species of daylily are often seen in Asian cuisines as snacks, and in many dishes.

There was a daylily cultivar named Pauline Henry, who registered over 400 types of daylilies with the American Hemerocallis Society. The types of daylilies attributed to her are called Siloam daylilies.

A flower on a daylily only blooms for one day! However, each plant can produce many buds.
