But this year she divided into two and gave off 21 beautiful offspring.
Who or what is Hot Lips? Why she is the most beautiful day lily you have ever seen! Or in this case, day lilies! Here is she is, on the last day of the season:
I purchased Hot Lips last year and she gave me 3 blooms. But she got so large I divided her into 2 plants and held my breath. I had never raised a day lily so I didn't know what to expect. I kept her in two pots and then about a month ago she sprang to life, giving me a new, bright orange open blossom just about everyday. Sometimes 3 or 4 a day. But day lilies do not last long. I would come out in the morning and there would be a bloom. But by the next morning it would be withered away. I think Hot Lips just was so hot she exploded each day!
This year, I think she will have one pot that will have to be divided, so next year I will hopefully have more blooms.
Goodbye sweet Hot Lips until 2010. See you next year!

I love the name of your flower! She seemed to last a good while - very pretty!
First, it's very pretty! Second, I have a couple questions: Are you sure it's a daylily? I thought those were asiatic lilies? Also, why do you put them in pots as opposed to in the ground? --from a fellow gardener, wondering out of curiousity :) Hopefully next year will bring you many more blooms!!
See you next year hot lips!!!
