daylillies challenge

NOOOO you,simbad n pollie are the kings/queens ive only got 7 varities i have miles to go (and thousands of pounds) i do love them thou,each one is a picture of perfection,i envy you all xxx

 

Hey all, nearly at the end now, lots of seedlings blooming late but lots finished. Will go into decline myself soon. Lol. I see JB is advertising his business for sale for the third time now. Perhaps he might give up for good this year. Enjoy the rest of your bloom season

 

Joolzs I started with 2 and look at me now

Hi pollie JB advertised in the Gardener I thought it was him , sad though .

Yes nearly over but ohh what a year the high and lows

Yes I got a leaflet from JB last autumn saying times were hard and he had to shift some of his daylilies so was selling them for £1 each, now I swore a couple of years ago I wouldn't have any more from him after yet another wrong plant, all were still gorgeous just wish I knew their names , anyway £1 was too good to miss I couldn't resist thought even if I only get 1 right it'll be worth it so I sent for 8, all except 1 were great plants much bigger than his normal plants, the small one did die but 2 have flowered and are right Wild Horses and Lacy Doily, another opened the other day and its definitely wrong should be Russian Ragtime but its a peachy pink double, wondering if the labels have been mixed up as I did order two other doubles Madge Cayse and Jerry Pate Williams,which are listed as having this colouring mmm, did check the label as its still on, anyway anothers due to open maybe tomorrow looks like its a wrong one,still think I got my moneys worth with the 2 right ones and still have a few more which don't look like they'll flower this year, here's my mystery one.

 

Emmaus

Evening Tulip , very much like Gold Elephant but scape much shorter

Baracuda Bay

You can see the slugs have had a nibble of the leaves on Baracuda Bay

Now you're doing it again Spruce 'Emmaus' and 'Baracuda Bay' in one post !!!!!!!

I did have an exceptional daylily start reblooming:

This is a cross of Evermore Lights X Spiney Sea Urchin. The first time in bloomed, it was very plain, but now its teeth are showing.

 

Can you wait until the reblooming season is over? I'm getting some fantastic improvements and lots of new scapes. Although the one super TET of mine is:

A cross of Amethyst Reflections X Unknown, although I do like its sibling:

These are at the center of my TET program

 

Wylie , we can wait when we are having beauties like these two

Just ordered arctic snow and American Revolution from a eBay seller!
Just got to find a space now!

 

I bought american revolution aswell today from a local nursery then managed to snap one of the only 2 stems it had not that it was at its best to begin with...but hopefully i will get to see one more flower before next yr

 

I have somehow missed this thread... Very tempting!
Not all of my new varieties flowered this season, so I'll just be playing with an old deck of cards.

Entrapment, 1st year, not very strong.



If I can rely on @simbad's id in a previous post, Pink Damask
