in this random rambling thread we post random pictures

Thank you. I don't know. A friend from church had cultivated dozens, if not hundreds of new ones, during his lifetime. He'd even named one after his wife and it's listed and described on line, but there is no accompanying photo. So we don't know if we have it or not. Aging, he had us come get a truckload of bulbs several years ago. We planted them around our property and don't know anything about them except there are many varieties and ... they grow, multiply and are beautiful. This is the only one with multitudes of blossoms like this. The rest are, well, day lilies. Not long after we took them, a relative of theirs moved in to look after him and his wife, and plowed under all the flowers, and the property was sold. We were sad we hadn't taken more, but we hadn't wanted to be greedy. Also we weren't prepared to get any more in the ground at the time. But we are keeping them alive and hope to be able to share some as time goes by and we get them more organized. But ... we'll never know their names, sad to say.

Gotta love the backyard horticulturist.

I have these, or rather similar ones)) But I don’t know what they are called in English, I only know the Russian name.
Usually their leaves turn yellow if they do not have enough watering, or if too much manure (nitrogen) is added to the soil. In general, such plants, unlike roses, do not like manure.
There are very different varieties, some that grow here are simpler - they grow quite actively and quickly, there are more decorative ones - they grow slower and are more capricious.
In all such plants, the leaves seem to fold in half, which is how they differ, for example, from irises.
I googled - the latin name of this plant is Hemerocallis L

If you are at a computer, there is one tool, I don’t know what search engine you use, but if you take the Russian Yandex or, for example, Google, then if you post a photo on the Internet, and then right-click on it, you can “search” similar" and there is a chance to find such a plant and find out its name. I sometimes use this when I encounter unfamiliar grass in the forest.

I googled. I think this is the WINEBERY CANDY
Although the color of the leaves is different. Perhaps yours is located in a place that is too shaded or, conversely, too hot. Although, I must admit, I personally have not seen distinctly dark flowers on such a plant; mine are usually light, but I have different flowers, not this variety.

Thank you! Probably it is too hot. I had not thought to use Google to id my varieties. I'll try that, thanks!
