[Photo] Hongdo Daylilies Blooming Fully Amid Sea Fog in Dadohaehaesang National Park

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Kim Chunsu] The representative summer wildflower of Hongdo Island in Dadohaehaesang National Park, the daylily, is reaching out toward the blue sea of Hongdo.

The daylily inhabits the southern Dadohae region, including Hongdo, and grows in clusters near the seaside. The flower stalk emerges between the leaves, with green bracts at the top, splitting into 2 to 3 parts, and flowers blooming sequentially from the bottom arranged in a raceme.

The daylily blooms from August to September, with a diameter of about 9 cm, showing a somewhat reddish-yellow color. It has a very short peduncle and is characterized by blooming in the morning and wilting in the evening. Since its natural habitat is limited and it has high ornamental value, it is known to be at great risk of extinction due to overharvesting.
