I decided to add this site to Green Thumb Sunday … You know I take a lot of photos – why not, eh?
This is a Stella Dora day lily. As with many of my flower photos these days I happened to take this while outside on a rainy day a couple of weeks ago. The petals are covered in water droplets.
I think everyone has Stella Dora. They might be a bit of a stereotype, but they are pretty, they re-bloom and they are easy flowers to grow. I have a few other types of day lilies as well and I enjoy each and every one of their blooms.
Gardeners, Plant and Nature lovers can join in every Sunday, visit As the Garden Grows for more information.
I’m sure Stella wont mind a bit of rain every now and then, you carn’t beat a flwer picture with rain drops on it.
Cheers Mark
I love taking photos in the rain or just after the rain. The raindrops seem to enhance the photos. It is sometimes hard to balance an umbrella in one hand and a camera in the other. Great photo of the daylily … no matter how common they are, they are still beautiful.
Along with everyone else, I love flower photos with raindrops. It’s just so refreshing. Thanks for this one.
Must confess that I don’t have Stella Dor. I do have the old time landscape red, Sammy Russell and other ancients. We are thrilled with rain this evening.
It is very pretty. I like touching flowers when they have a little bit of rain on them.
The fresh yellow flower is so beautiful. My best friend will surely enjoy this! She loves nature a lot!
Quite a refreshing photo.
