Daylily leaves are such lovely weavers. They can be fickle, a tad too much water and swell up like slugs but with just a quick spray and a wee bit of time mellowing these leaves are perfect for tangling. They’re so abundant too :) It’s only my second go at a basket like this and I got in a reet pickle with the stitching at the end on this one. Just about wangled it but if anyone has any advise on this kind of basket it would be much appreciated 😁 . . . #basketry #basketmaker #fibreart #daylily

Happy Flower Friday! 🌸 Daylily (Hemerocallis fulva, family: Asphodelaceae) is not a true Lily (Lilium, family: Liliaceae). Please make sure to know the difference as true lilies can cause gastrointestinal issues. Unlike lilies, daylilies grow from tuberous stems not bulbs. Daylily flowers emerge from top of scapes, while lilies grow on top of tall stems. 🌸Daylilies are very cold-hardy 🥶 and heat-tolerant 🌡. Depending on variety, some are known to thrive in USDA zone 2, however, most do well
