Hemerocallis 'Old Termite'

Just starting to turn purple but still #brown

#firstbloom this season #brown #fragrant

😍oh my

Wow! What a uniquely beautiful color!!! 🥰😍💕

On sunny days (unlike now) these are tan to brown in the morning and purple in the afternoon, @shinygarden584 --tap and swipe the photo to see the other color phases

The afternoon purple phase. I never saw a katydid in my yard before this year, but suddenly I have one plugged into every single daylily... #exoskeletal

It was so cool and cloudy today that these never turned purple at all. I took this at 3:45 pm when they are usually puce at the very least... #brown #curiouscases

This ant heard about termites in the area, came to say howdy, but only found a stand of #brown daylilies #exoskeletal #wildlifewednesday

Haha

🤣

Starting to make the transition from #brown to its afternoon purple color...

#anticipation of #brown flowers

Second daylily to bloom this year is not only #brown but also #fragrant

Great colour 🤎💛

Brown flowers 👌🏼🤎

#anticipation

I never tire of photographing each #brown bloom, as you can tell lol

Me neither 😍

Beautiful 🤗

Early-morning silvery #brown coloring #fragrant

Great colour 🤎

The early-morning shade of #brown

Afternoon purple coloration, but this morning it was #brown

Awesome colour 👍

First bloom! #brown #fragrant

Beautiful Lily. Fragrant too. 👍🤎

What a crazy name

Love the colour…..nicer than mine….

I know, right, @lesliecole49 !?

#animal-named #brown

Love the color

@crabby58 this is the oddest daylily ever. It's light tan in the morning, darkens to brown as the day goes on and -- not every day, but some days -- it finally turns purple.

That is strange, but, neat😃

That sounds awesome. 😍

@hkyfvr @crabby58 it's also rather #fragrant

Even better 😁

Another surprise #brown bloom

Astonishingly, this supposedly non-reblooming daylily is putting out new buds! #brown

Great looking👍love it when they surprise you😅

Late-afternoon purple aspect. In the morning it was a silvery light #brown

Looks great. 👍

You can see on the lower petals that this one is changing over from its a.m. #brown color to its p.m. purple... #greatcolor #notstelladoro

Early afternoon shade of #brown -- this one is nicely #fragrant as well and #notstelladoro

What a name!

I know, right @lesliecole49 !? One thing I've learned as a collector of brown flowers is that many of them have hideous names. Examples include "House Arrest" and "Ode To A Toad."

Those are weird names. Can’t they do better than that ? Lovely lilies 👍

Pretty 😍

Ode to a toad! Love it! Lmao

Another beautiful #brown flower with an ugly name, "Old Termite" is brown in the morning and sometimes turns purple in the afternoon. But not every day. The reasons remain mysterious to me at this writing. #greatcolor

Well I did add all that, but it seems to take a while to digest at this app.
