daylillies challenge

i'm going to put my neck out and post pics of my daylillies this season on this thread, i'd love all of you to add your own and comment on the best pics. this challenge is for all especially simbad who i'm very jealous of due to their large collection oh and happy easter everyone

 

Il look forward to see them graham im becoming a great fan of daylillies and simbad does have fantastic collection xx

 

looking forward to seeing them armandii . joolz daylillies are a great space filler or a great show on their own, i'm increasing my collection for sure have you got any? if not i'll send you some

 

Sadly we are in the process of downsizing our collection of these plants. They are almost all now infected with Hemerocallis gall mites and thus the flowers are distorted and not worth having. As far as we can find out there is no cure for this, so we are digging up a replacing with other things. Great shame really.

What varieties have you got as we will know what we are up- against

Palustris sound like you have the early flowering varietis which the gall mites realy like you need to pick them off as they swell and this should help

I have increased the collection this year all spiders and UF (unusual forms)

Simbad is already drooling :doggiesmz: and I have a couple arriving from America which another Hemholic is getting for me Lily Munster & Let it Ride new to the UK

All the daylily's stood up to the harsh winter and dont get chewed with vine weevel now thats a plus for me, gall mites I havnt had yet !! but Simbad has told me what to do if it happens

Be careful you will get hooked

We thought that it was just a problem with the early ones too, but last year it was on every one, ear;y, middle , late, except H lilioasphodelus. This after removing all the flowers on every plant for the last three years. What is the point of having big clumps of leaves?

 

Did you see the one's on ebay recently Lady Betty Fretz and Irresistible Charm both new to UK
i wanted both of those, but never got them, i would be interested if Lilloon has still got some more.

 

Your albums full of lovelys spruce i went for a stroll around isfryndaylilies site aswell,some more stunners on there alsoive never seen Lilloon posting on gc that i recall?ships passing in the night prob
galllmite does not look good! feel sorry for palustrisis there a miracle secret cure ???
