At this Okinawan farm, in late September, the day Lilly field is in bloom. In Japan they use the day lily leaves to make a very mild tea that aids in sleep and soothes anxiety.

You can buy a bag to pick the flower buds and the sweet girl at the counter too the time to translate the recipe for me in English from her phone!
