I can't edit captions under "Commons" images: Hemerocallis fulva (typo "dailily") is shown in its double mutation sometimes called flore-pleno.This is a garden form, not the species. A good caption might note that. -- Wetman 15:31, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
I renewed the main photo of a daylily. The original was slightly out of foucs, and the new one shows more detail of an example of the flower. -- liquidGhoul 00:58, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
when do day lilys bloom?
Yeah, what time(s) of the year are they supposed to bloom (I noticed the article said sometimes they bloom again later, but when is later, heck, "when" is the 1st time even?? Also, is there any good links that show daylilys (daylilies?) along with some other plants that look very similar and/or are commonly mistaken for them? I think BOTH of these things should be included in this article. 173.16.124.196 ( talk) 20:31, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

says that the buds and roots are mildly toxic. Is this true? Here's the text:

I have added a small cautionary text about being careful to get the right species due to the toxicity of some. Observer31 ( talk) 12:53, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
The toxicity is debatable. Some vets still maintain the toxicity to small pets in large quantities, but for the most part toxicity is virtually unknown in humans. There is a great deal of confusion because for a very long time Day Lilies were actually considered to be part of the True Lily Family. The fact remains though, that all day lily species I have come across are completely edible from flower to root tip--and quite delicious! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.35.254.12 ( talk) 01:16, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
This article has been mangled by the uncited (and probably unfounded) mentions of "toxic" daylilies. It now also warns of dangers from confusion with "some forms of lilies" that might be toxic, although daylilies do not belong to the lilium genus. Even the links provided on this page are no longer active, so I can find no credible reference claiming that daylilies are toxic (though I have found such references that refute that point: http://agriviet.net/20577-are-daylilies-toxic/). That's probably because daylilies are edible, and they are not known to be toxic in humans. I sincerely hope that the editors of this page will excise this misinformation. The page is less correct and less readable because of it. Jmedlong ( talk) 18:22, 20 July 2013 (UTC)

I'd appreciate a section about distinguishing daylilies from lilies... 75.165.87.106 ( talk) 18:09, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
I agree, especially because of the use of the phrase:"Care must be used as some species of lilies can be toxic." Does this refer to a lilium or a day lily? Moa rider ( talk) 06:24, 12 July 2013 (UTC)
Added some info. So mainly, a daylily (not spelled as day lily, daylilly, or day lilly) is from a different genera. True lilies grow from bulbs, and have six petals. Daylilys generally have three petals and three sepals. Daylilies are clump-forming, with scapes and grassy-looking leaves, while true lilies have leaves along the entire stalk. Nora Editor ( talk) 14:13, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
All professional daylily organizations and societies use daylily, not day lily. It is a little arrogant to contradict them in favour of a term that at worst is incorrect, and at best is a vernacular term. Nora Editor ( talk) 18:10, 17 January 2020 (UTC)
I've consulted several dictionaries (among them OED, Webster's, Longman and Collins) and they all write the name as "day lily" (in two words). A move to "Day lily" seems to be in order, unless there are objections. JoJan ( talk) 14:58, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
A gallery might be a better way to display the various cultivar images, especially if it is below the Awards section, which the thumbnails are sort of messing up. Huw Powell ( talk) 04:18, 23 July 2015 (UTC)

Food use of the flower if very popular in Chinese cuisine — Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.180.175.48 ( talk) 04:18, 15 April 2018 (UTC)
The second paragraph of the Uses section is about Phormium tenax (NZ Flax/harakeke) which is in a different genus. It's not justified by past classification, either: Phormium tenax used to be in Agavaceae and doesn't seem to ever have been in Hemerocallis
