Here come the Daylilies

Spruce....i had no idea there were so many different varieties....that's how ignorant i am...but don't forget i'm a complete Day Lily virgin....i've just got to have a 'LB baby'....beautifull....

 

I'm like you Loili, i didnt realize that there were so many kinds, and just howing stunning they are.
I have a few in my garden, dont ask me for the names because i honestly couldnt tell you .....but they are orange and yellow and frilly

 

Now that would be a miracle

Glad you like them

Spruce

 

I don't have a wish list this year Spruce, yet , I've tried not to look through any catalogues this year, space is starting to become an issue, like you I might have 5 or 6.
I have a few that didn't flower this year so them to look forward to next year 'Spacecoast Behaviour Pattern', 'Frilly Bliss', 'Dipped in Ink', 'Ledgewood Calico Blues' 'Quilt Patch' .
Yes a lot of the leaves on mine are starting to look tatty now, I've been tidying them up a bit.
Aaah thats were the daylily plan comes into its own Spruce, magpies are the bane of my life.

Over 60 000 registered cultivars last time I looked Lolimac, unfortunately only a small amount of those are available in this country, thank goodness, we'd soon run out of space

 

Blimey....60 000.....i neeeed a bigger garden

 

Maybe you will have some more soon

Spruce

 

Two new ones today

Yellow Angel

Flamenco Dress

Tiger Lily I know but it had lily in the name

Spruce

 

Well some just keep getting better, earlier flowers on this one didn't open fully, but its sent up another scape and the flowers on this are much better, a new one last year, really got to be one of my favourites, just love that edge and what a very appropriate name.
'Hemstitched'

 

Hi Simbad

I see what you mean about the edge how big is the flower and the scape.

Spruce

 

Sorry to be a pain but whats a scape please

 

Hi Loli

Its the stem that carries the flower buds

Spruce

 

The flowers 5inch across Spruce and its 2ft 4inch have it at the front of my daylily bed.
Another beauty thats just started to rebloom and looks even better second time round, now look at the edge on this
'Sink into you Eye's'

This one has 6inch flowers and is 22inches tall, so another front of border one

 

Well the daylilies have almost finished now but this new mini one, bought last autumn, surprised me with 3 flower scapes in September !!!!
'Cosmic Hummingbird'

Also 'Eight Miles High' which is trying to show some teeth

 

Oh, Alexander,
At this time of year I thought you could only be theorising on this thread, but had a look anyway.
Daylilies just seem to love you. And that Cosmic Hummingbird is about to explode in flower!

 

Alexander
Yes there are still a few flowering and a few with buds , hope the cold weather holds off for a bit longer so they get a chance to open
