Everything is blooming like crazy this week, including the orange daylilies that are sprinkled behind our hosta border. I love their vibrant color...

Tawny Lily (aka Tiger Lily)
UPDATE: Thanks to all the smarty pants readers for correcting me! These are not Tiger Lilies. However, they are Tawny Lilies. :)
I wish I could bring a few stems inside... just like Martha Stewart did with these Tiger Lillies (dinner party hosted at Martha Stewart's East Hampton estate):
(how pretty is this? I love the combination of the orange blossoms & blue glass Ball jars)
We also have a few of these blooming in the backyard...

The previous homeowners planted them. I believe they're Asiatic Lilies?
Happy Monday!

Your yard is looking great. I love lilies. Jesse and I had white lilies on the tables at our wedding! xoxo

This is going to sound really nit-picky, and I'm so sorry for that, but I don't think those are actually tiger lilies. Tiger Lilies have black spots on them and a different petal formation. Their blooms usually last a few days to weeks. Your lilies, I believe, are orange daylilies. I have tons of them growing on my farm.
I know, I know, I've become that commenter! Sorry for that. I would just feel bad if someone wanted "tiger lilies" for their yard and then ended up ordering something completely different.
