Despite being under the fence struck by lightning, the daylilies are coming into their own.  The stretch is about 70 feet long and three feet wide, so it is a lot of daylilies.  The vast majority are the very tall, very bright orange, double ditch lily type.  Take the standard orange ditch lily and make it bigger, oranger, and doubled or tripled.  They most closely resemble a flock of gaudy birds hovering above the field.  It works because they are surrounded with green: 10 acres of hayfield as their backdrop, with a screen of green hedgerows/hills, and a front of green lawn; the arc of pure-white shasta daisies west of the flagpole also helps to balance the effect.

I am however, pondering moving some of the burnt-orange/red throated ones to the front of the line.  Somehow, most of them got on the west (field) edge.  Being slightly more incline to bend, shorter, and a darker colour, I think they might give a depth to it.  More digging!
