Perennials

I have just recently been informed by peterS on this forum about Perennials plants. I'm a lover of lillys and have a few big pots of them in the garden. I was just told about the hemerocallis (day Lilly). Are these easy to get hold of, and is there any more flowers of this breed?

 

You bet. There are massive numbers of them and enthusiastic hemerocallis societies in various parts of the world. You can probably buy a selection in most nurseries. try googling them.

They are nice perennials but not a patch on the perfumed glamour of the Lilium family, in my opinion.

 

OH, yes, big YES. I just got through looking at pics from another garden forum, he collects them and pollinates to make differnt ones. The pictures of his collection is extensive, about 30 types. All so beautiful.
There is even a day lilly auction I hear goes on. There are even prize winning species etc. Its a whole other world out there.

 

wow! ok, I will get searching in the local nurserys then! many thanks people.
a guy is pollenating his own lillys!?!?! that's awesome! :D

 

I collect them Dubman, great plants, have you looked on ebay some beauties on there at the moment, also a couple of site I use a lot are:
www.polliesdaylilies.co.uk
www.theflowerbower.co.uk
The varieties available now are unbelievable from the smallest minis to the largest spiders, fancy eyes and edges,doubles, I've just bought one with sharks teeth edges.
I have some pictures of mine on the album section on here page 5

 

sweet! I will look on them 3 sites straight away, I love the Lilly breed, fantastic flowers. many thanks :D

 

indeed, I wish to learn a great deal off of them :D

 

The daylilies are just starting to flower DUBMAN so we've started a new thread called 'here come the daylilies', we'll keep adding pictures as they open, could we have a new addict in the making?, any questions just ask away

 

excellent simbad I will be watching that thread! loo and yep, I think it's a day Lilly addiction, and I'm sure I will have afew questions to be answered! lol :D
