Introduction

Why wait for spring to create a lovely, colorful bouquet? These lilies can be made anytime, and theyâ??ll never need watering.

With the paper colored side up, make a diagonal crease by folding one corner to the opposite corner. Unfold. Repeat with the two other corners. You should now have two diagonal creases on the colored side of the paper.

Turn the paper over to the white side. Fold all four corners to the center and unfold.

Fold one edge of the paper to the opposite edge. Unfold. Repeat with the other two edges. Do not unfold.

Position the paper so that the folded edge is along the bottom. There should be creases on the paper that form a â??V.â? Hold the paper with each hand on either side of the â??Vâ? and slowly bring your hands together, allowing the four corners to meet at the top.

Place the model flat onto the table, making sure there are two flaps on the right and two flaps on the left and the closed point is at the top.

Take one of the flaps and stand it up so that it is perpendicular to the table. Insert a finger between the layers of the flap to spread them open. Flatten down the flap, aligning the center vertical crease with the white layers underneath. There should now be two small white triangles at the bottom of the model.

Turn over and repeat on the other side.

Rearrange the flaps so that you can perform the same maneuver (squash) on the remaining two flaps. When you are finished, make sure that there are now four flaps on each side and that two white triangles are visible.

Working with one layer only, fold in the sloping side of the right white triangle to align on the center vertical line. Repeat on the left side. Unfold both sides.

You now have a large colored triangle above two white ones with creases running through them. Lift the bottom edge of the colored one up and back as far as it will go, drawing the sides together. The sides of the white ones should meet along the center vertical, forming a kite-shaped flap. Flatten this down so you donâ??t have any white showing.

Turn over and repeat Steps 9 and 10 on the other side.

Rearrange the flaps and do Steps 9 and 10 on the remaining two sides.

Rearrange the flaps evenly so that there is a plain surface (without any flaps) on the front and back. Starting at the closed end of the model and working with one layer only, fold the sloping edge to lie on the center vertical. Repeat on the right side.

Turn the model over and repeat Step 12 on the back.

Rearrange the flaps to reveal the two remaining plain sides and repeat Step 12 front and back.

Rotate the model so that the closed end is at the bottom. Taking each in turn, fold down the four flaps at the top of the model to form petals.

You can give the petals a nice curl by wrapping them around a pencil.

Arrange the petals to your liking, then stop. . . and smell, or at least admire, your flower.

Fact

The lily was a sacred plant in ancient Japan, and Sayuriâ??or â??Sacred Lilyâ?â??is a popular girlâ??s name.

We’ve heard that saying: “A rose by any other name is just as sweet”. The same can be said of the daylily, which is not a true lilium. It is called a lily because the flowers resemble those of the lilium genus. A native of Asia, the botanical name of this herbaceous perennial is Hemerocallis. The beautiful blooms only last one day, but because each plant bears so many flowers, that is hardly noticed. Each clump of daylilies has many flower stalks and each stalk can bear up to fifty flowers. Not only that, but the flowering period of the daylily is over six months.

Daylilies are the ideal flower to grow in anyone’s garden. They are flood, drought and frost hardy and those that become dormant in winter even survive snow. They are not susceptible to disease, don’t mind seaside conditions and are not fussy about soil type. While they grow happily in shade, they will flower better in full sun. What more could one ask of a plant? A good colour range? Daylilies have that, too.

These days, daylilies come in not just yellow and orange, but a huge variety of colours. Some are even bi-coloured. There are big round ones, triangular, ruffled and laced white ones, some have watermarks, others have fancy eyes. What a variety!

And they have as diverse a range of size as they do colour and shape. The smallest flowers are 1in (3cm) across, while the largest get to a huge 1in (20cm). Foliage can range from under 1in (30cm) to over 4ft (1.5m). The smaller varieties with grass-like foliage are quite suitable for borders, and all should be planted about 30in (60 cm) apart with the crown at ground level. Fertilise and mulch well for the best performance.

Potted daylilies can be planted into the garden at any time of year, but if you buy bare-rooted ones from the nursery, then late winter/early spring is a good time to plant them, and again in late summer through autumn. This avoids the absolute hottest and coldest parts of the Aussie year.

Many of the modern daylilies have been developed in the USA and so will be found in specialist nurseries in other countries. The cost can be rather high, due to the thousands of plants that must be grown each year to produce genuine advances. But it will be a worthwhile investment in your garden for such a hardy and long-flowering plant is surely hard to beat. They are the perfect low-maintenance plant.

This is one of two videos showing the lorikeets on the giant lily flower. During this video the sound of the lorikeets can be heard louder than that of the other birds.
