HEMEROCALLIS:
The scientific name for the daylily. (From the Greek hemera day + kallos beauty). Originally the genus Hemerocallis was placed in the lily family, Liliaceae, but more recently it has been moved to the family Hemerocallidaceae.
I just planted this about three weeks ago........I love the Daylily because it is so photogenic, and there are about 55,000 different varieties to photograph.
