hi
I found a very nice flower in the garden of my friend's neighbours (sounds a bit funny) I did only a picture, but didn't ask the name here is the picture
I like this flower, so I want to have it in my garden
so if someone know what is the flower in the pic, please, let me know
thanks people!!!!!
It's a common daylily (Hemerocallis). Even though they're not true lilies, not bulbs, don't have dark spots on the petals and have a different habit, some people often confuse them with tiger lilies (Lilium tigrinum). Such are the vagaries of vernaculars.
Agree and might add that they call them day lilies because they only last a day. You can't expect to cut them and make them last.
However, established plants will have a group of buds at the end of a stalk. As one flower dies, another blooms. When the last bud opens and the flower then dies, you should cut the stalk. A new stalk will appear in about a month or so.
After a while, a daylily plant will form a clump of plants, each with a flower stalk. From some varieties, you will eventually have flowers continuously from late spring, through the summer, and into the fall. Actually, a few of mine have flower buds right now; I expect them to bloom in about a week or less. But that's what happens when daytime winter temperatures are in the 70s (F). :)
Note that some daylily varieties might bloom only 2-3 times a year. The rest of the year, they are merely masses of green foliage. The photo resembles a variety in my garden that is like that. When it blooms, it's majestic; but that is not often. The ones in my garden that seem to have flowers all summer are a golden yellow.

I'm going to try the stalk cutting. Usually don't get more than a few weeks of flowers. May be different here in mid east coast where my daylillies essentially die back in the winter. They share a bank with vinca minor and compliment each other very well. When the daylillies grow they do so faster than the neighborhood deer can eat them. I think some people may eat them too ;)
Since you're on the east coast, expect at most 2 or 3 reblooms unless its something like Stella D Oro, which can bloom all summer.
