Hemerocallis fulva
Also known as the Tawny Daylily, Tiger Daylily, or Ditch Daylily, it is a lily native to Asia from the Caucasus east through the Himalaya to China, Japan, Korea, and southeastern Russia.
It is a herbaceous perennial plant growing from a fleshy rhizome with stems 40–150 cm tall. The leaves are linear, 50–90 cm long and 1–2.8 cm broad. The flowers are 5–12 cm across, orange-red, with a pale central line; they are produced from early summer to late autumn on spikes of 10–20, with the individual flowers opening successively, each one only lasting one day. The fruit is a three-valved capsule 2–2.5 cm long and 1.2–1.5 cm broad which splits open at maturity to release the seeds.
In some parts of the United States and Canada daylilies have become a weedy or Invasive species.
