Shores Of Time Daylily
Daylilies are perennial plants. The name
Hemerocallis comes from the Greek words
ἡμέρα (hēmera) “day” and (kalos) “beautiful”.
This name alludes to the attractive flowers of
this genus which typically last no more than 24
hours. The flowers of most species open at
sunrise and wither at sunset, possibly replaced
by another one on the same scape (flower
stalk) the next day. Some species are night-
blooming. Daylilies are not commonly used as
cut flowers for formal flower arranging, yet they
make good cut flowers otherwise as new
flowers continue to open on cut stems over
several days.

Is it based on your personal experience?

The most important thing to look for is first to determine the type of daylily being offered. There are 3 categories in Daylilies namely Evergreen (suitable for our climate here in cities like Islamabad, Lahore etc), Semi-Evergreen (suitable for mediterranean climate) and finally dormant varieties (suitable for cold areas having snowfall e.g. Murree, Chitral etc and 'Shore of Time' falls in the dormant category).

Also one should be knowing whether it's a diploid or tetraploid variety which is an important consideration only if one intends to cross the daylilies.

Posts under discussion thread normally contain a specific point or issue which one wants to discuss or highlight and all the text in the post was more like an introduction to dayliies which could have been read easily in the plant database section or online like in the url listed below.

I agree Brig Sahib. We are both on an equal page that posts under discussion thread should contain a specific point or issue for the sake of discussion rather a description of a plant. The onus is on us to ensure that the database doesn't get cluttered.
