Hemerocallis fulva, the Orange Daylily, Tawny Daylily, Tiger Daylily or Ditch Lily, is a species of daylily native to Asia. It is very widely grown as an ornamental plant in temperate climates for its showy flowers and ease of cultivation. It is not related to true lilies, but gets its name from the similarity of the flowers and from the fact that each flower lasts only one day.

They always have so many names and in my memory, the orange ones were from my childhood and my neighbor used to have the orange daylily in the front of the house and I used to pick them for food and used the stick as a weapon in our games. So much for my childhood memory.
