"In some parts of the country clumps of day lilies grow wild along roadsides and provide bright spots of orange color in July."
Day lilies grow in clumps and start out budding yellow flowers that will turn orange in the summer.
It is suggested that you can take the unopened yellow flower buds and cook them in some butter.
Season with some salt and pepper if you like and enjoy.

The pedals would be used in soup, fried, or cooked simply and sold in markets.
