You can’t go wrong with the classics. Like these day lilies (sometimes spelled daylilies). You see these guys everywhere, and for good reason. We have a lot planted around where I live. According to Wikipedia, however, they are not actually lilies.

They are a member of the family Asphodelaceae, subfamily Hemerocallidoideae. Their reclassification is apparently recent:
Despite their common name, daylilies are not true lilies (plants from the genus Lilium, family Liliaceae). Although the flowers of Hemerocallis and Lilium species have a similar shape, their growth habits, stems and leaf shapes are distinctive. Before 2009, the scientific classification of daylilies put them into the family Liliaceae. In 2009, under the APG III system, daylilies were removed from the family Liliaceae and assigned to the family Xanthorrhoeaceae, subfamily Hemerocallidoideae. Xanthorrhoeaceae was renamed in 2016 to Asphodelaceae in the APG IV system
I hope you took notes on that, as there will be a quiz later.

Yep I looked them up, pretty flowers but not quite as impressive as real lilies.

I have no time for considering plants that neither toil nor spin.
