I'm not sure day lilies work in the same way as other lilies. I have a huge

other lilies growing in the same area.

You know the flowers are edible, do you?


Day lily flowers, or all lily flowers? I've not heard that before, no.
What kind of thing would you do with them?


Sorry, Day lilies only. I first heard it on TV from no less than
Prince Charles in his own garden. I've only eaten them straight off
the plant, or on salads. They have a peppery taste. Interesting.
