Didao daylily

Day lily, called "A Girl Without Sorrow" and "Hemerocallis fulva" in ancient times, is also called "Day lily" because its flower buds are shaped like golden needles. Day lily is an annual erect herb with a height of 0.3-1m. The whole plant is densely covered with mucinous glandular hairs and yellowish hairs, which has a foul smell. The leaves are palmately compound leaves with 3-5(-7) leaflets; The petiole is 2-4 cm long; Leaflets are oblanceolate elliptic, the central leaflet is 1-5cm long and 5-15mm wide, and the lateral leaflets decrease in turn, with glandular cilia at the edge. Flowers are solitary in leaf gum, gradually becoming smaller at the upper part of the stem, but they are racemes or corymbose near the top, with slender pedicels, 1-2 cm long; Sepals are narrowly elliptic to oblanceolate elliptic, 6-7mm long and 1-3 mm wide, with fine stripes and mucinous glandular hairs on the back and edge; Petals are light yellow or orange, obovate or spoon-shaped, 7-12mm long and 3-5mm wide, and the base is wedge-shaped with at most few claws; Stamens 10-20, filaments shorter than petals, not exposed outside the corolla at flowering; Ovary sessile, cylindrical, about 8mm long, densely covered with glandular hairs except the style and stigma, and not exposed at flowering time. The top of the ovary narrows and elongates, and the flowers are 2-6nun long, and the stigma is head-shaped. Fruit erect, cylindrical, densely glandular hairy, 6-9cm long. The middle part is about summer mm in diameter. When it matures, the white tip of the petal cracks downward, and there are many ribs on the surface that are more or less concentric and curved longitudinally and parallel. The persistent flower branches are about 5 mm long; The seeds are dark brown, 1-15mm in diameter, and there are about 30 transverse parallel wrinkles on the surface. There is no obvious flowering and fruiting period, and it usually emerges in March and ripens in July. Daylily can be divided into single petals and double petals. Qingyang yellow flowers are mostly double petals, with broad leaves and large petals, and the flowering time is mostly between June and August. The life span of a single flower is only one day, which usually opens in the early morning and closes at sunset. However, each branch has more than 40 buds. When a flower withers, it blooms, so the whole flowering period is longer. Once planted, it can be harvested continuously for 10-30 years, and generally 150-300 kg of dried vegetables can be harvested per mu.
