Orange Daylily
Pictures by Pierre-Joseph Redouté
Pierre-Joseph Redouté's orange daylily opens in red and gold on a cream page, with a simple Happy Birthday inside. It comes from Les Liliacées, his portraits of lilies, many grown in Empress Joséphine's garden at Malmaison, and each daylily flower lasts just a single day. For someone who loves flowers on their birthday.
