A genus of flowering plants commonly known as daylilies, which produce flowers that typically bloom for only one day.
From Greek 'hemera' (day) and 'kallos' (beauty). Named because the flowers open in the morning and close by evening of the same day, emphasizing their brief blooming period.
Daylilies are nature's one-day wonders—each flower is a fleeting beauty, which is why the ancient Greeks named them 'day-beauty'—yet the plants produce so many flowers that they bloom continuously for weeks.
