Flower ID help please.


Recommended Posts

I was wandering around the Rydell National Wildlife Refugee near Erskine, MN today for work, and on my lunch hour I walked one trail in hopes of finding some interesting subject. I am pleased with this shot, but can not find my widlflower ID book. Can anyone help me with ID?

IF you have never been to Rydell, it is worth a small day trip to the area, lots of photo ops, swans, ducks, song birds, ermine, fox, moose, etc.

It's a lily, but a daylily. Tiger lily blossoms are black-spotted. You didn't find it in the book because it's not a wildflower. Daylilies sometimes are used for woodland/prairie natural landscaping, but it also could be an escape. Daylilies are widely planted in home landscapes/gardens. Been a long time since I've been to Rydell, but it's possible they've got some planted around the HQ grounds.

I have daylilies blooming right now on my naturalized river bank. By naturalized, I mean there does not appear to be too much hand of man landscaping other than a chunk of barbed wire--someone didn't like the neighbors, apparently. The rest appears to be bird plantings, volunteers, wild flowers and canary reed grass. But you throw a little soil back there from the garden, or leaves,etc. and you have day lilies creeping in.
