Christmas Carol ???

14 years ago

Hi,

Does anybody out there have an old daylily called Christmas Carol. It was registered by Wild in 1971. I received this one in 2008 from a now out of business garden.It bloomed for me in 2009 but I am not sure it is Christmas Carol. I have been wondering about Apple Tart as I know they sold that one too. It multiplied very well for me going from one really tiny fan to 8 last year with 3 flower scapes. It just doesn't seem dark enough for the photos I have seen of Christmas Carol. Other possibilities are Red Rum, Johny Barbour, Anzac, Bunker Hill, Brave World or Summer Interlude. I haven't seen any of these -I just know they are red and she sold them too!

Thanks Daylily Dreamer,
It doesn't look like yours although when I have searched on the web for photos of Apple Tart they can all look very different from one another.
The petals on mine are kind of ruffly like your Christmas Time. She could have mixed the name up. I bought one named Tropical Sunset(supposed to be orange) and discovered it was Tropic Sunset and quite pink!
Anybody have a photo of Christmas Carol?

Thanks for the great Christmas message! I got the Vintage email, but had not had time to look at it, being busy with fixing Christmas Eve dinner for 10 people - what a nice surprise to open as I was resting this morning, cleaning up and getting ready to go to a relatives' for another Christmas dinner tonight - Hurrah indeed!

Ah, I didn't get them all but similar titles I thought fitted a couple. My carol was, of course, "The Holly and the Ivy" which was sung by our school choir but probably not quite as sweetly as the carol states! It is the evening of Christmas Day here in Western Australia and after a most enjoyable gathering of most of my family, I am now home and glad to be resting in the cool. A hot day today and no pool but at least we didn't need to have to monitor the children. They all swim like fish, even the babies but still need to be constantly supervised of course!

Here's my picture of Apple Tart. What a wonderful surprise this was for me last year. My best performer!

Yours is a very pretty daylily. Hope you find out what it is!
