The big ones are Gentleman's Lady (Moldovan 2005) and Spacecoast Southern Belle (Kinnebrew 2006). These are the two I bought for hybridizing. I am picking up a couple for my wife too: Alicia Rose Kissed (Quarry 2001) and Geneva Firetruck (Hansen 2001). That leaves a holdover from last year that is spending the winter in my mother-inlaw's garden: Moonlight Sail (Stamile 2005). I have been pretty restrained this year.

This is one I've ordered from John Rice for spring. Saw it in his greenhouse last summer - couldn't read the name tag : -( When I saw it on his catalog cover, knew it was the same one I'd seen and ordered it. The name of this is ARNETTE ZAPEL, named after a daylily friend in Reg. 10.
{{gwi:664747}}

IS IT SPRING YET????
Oh well...I am trying to be patient. The weather here is warm one day and then a day or two later it's back to being cold again. The plants are going nuts. And so am I.....
here's my list I just mailed off for today!

From Wynn's Daylily Garden in FL.

Awakening Dream
Baffin Bay Beauty
Big Sur
Bold Encounter
Cezanne
Classic Edge
Flower Shop
Francis of Assisi
Geneva Firetruck
Guinea Jubilee
King Of Masks
Mask of Time
Mildred Mitchell
Roses In Snow
Santiago Heat
Wispy Rays

Hope I made some good picks. There are too many to choose from when it comes to daylilies.

Donna

Looked up ARNETTE ZAPEL on Tinkers but its not there...is it registered? It's gorgeous!

It is either a 2008 registration ( which is not on the AHS data base yet) or it will be a 2009 registration. John complies with AHS registration procedures!

Well, that did it. I'd been dithering all winter about placing an order from the Rices. Had too many on the want list, so (naturally) I did precisely nothing about it. But one look at that picture of floota's and I immediately got on the phone to order ARNETTE ZAPPEL!

Yes, Arnette Zappel is on the AHS database. Its a 2007 registration:
Arnette Zapel (Rice-JA, 2007)
height 25", bloom 5.5", season EM, Semi-Evergreen, Tetraploid, 20 buds, 4 branches, Purple violet with cream white eye above green throat. (Jamie Dockery × sdlg)

It's a beauty.

Just as an FYI, they are entering 2008 and 2009 on the AHS database with a notification as an example "[future, pending publication in 2009]" or whatever year it will be registered in. Something new they have started doing. Only the name and hybridizer name are listed along with the notification of future, pending publication etc.

Julia

oooops, I just noticed something.
Is it possible they have two dl's with the same name being registered at different times???

The one I posted above is from AHS database. But I do notice that Thoroughbred has it listed on their website as a 09 intro and the description is different.
From their website:
ARNETTE ZAPEL
(Rice '09) 5.5" x 24", TET, 3-4 br, 30 buds, mid season, sev Striking cream applique eye contrasts dramatically as it splashes onto the plum violet petals.

Julia

This is what I have ordered so far:

Oakes:
Tuscawilla Tigress
Brocaded Gown
Orange Vols

Northern Lights:
Victorian Lace
Lavender Perfection

Marietta:
Bubble Yummin Mama
Beautiful Edgings
Cimarron Rose
Clothed in Glory

also along with my yearly plant order from Bluestone:
Buttered Popcorn
Amazing Grace

I can hardly wait until spring!

Sandra

I enjoyed all the lists/ but it reminded me that I needed to check with Ladybug also. Alot of you are receiving ones I still have on wish lists.
Baileycat, the Butterfly Collection from Cove, you will have to post pics when they are blooming, I stared at that collection for a long time.!!! I thought I might wait on Maryotts, just to see if they will do the BOGO again in August, by then I will have 'discovered' more room in my gardens.
Donna, Those are all great picks!! At least 6 from your list I will order from Daylily Manor, and several I decided I NEEDED because I saw pics on this forum.
Oh, Man, Michelle, Halloween Hocus Pocus and Spacecoast Sea Shells, gotta have those. I really like the eyes. I feel another order happening. Someone should start a thread on Eyed DL, I don't have many yet, but I'm working on it. Would love to see pics that others have.
And Kim, I'm right there with you, I have 3 foster kitties I'm keeping right now , had them fixed and clearing up some minor medical issues. Oh, I'm going to keep one, just have to cause he's just so friendly after everything he's been through. It will cut into my DL money , but it's worth it, gotta do what you gotta do.
I have 'peeked' at the auction, but I am restraining myself cause I have a feeling about how that will go. (Like in I would have to get a 2nd job!!!!!!!)
So, do you all think it is really, really good? I just need a little more pushing to make the jump. I'm still browsing all of the great mail order gardens out there, and planning summer trips to some that are a little closer. ( right now 4 hour drive is my limit on a garden visit )

I rambled , got off topic sorry bout that!!! , Cindy

I was a very bad girl this fall. Will somebody take those catalogs away from me? :O)

Joy

JOY
I ONLT GROW ONE ON YOUR LIST - MORMON.
IT'S A REALLY NICE SHAPE AND COLOR BUT TENDS TO BLOOM LOW INTO THE FOLIAGE. IT HAS NICE INCREASE AND I SET A FEW PODS ON IT LAST YEAR. OH AND BY THE WAY IT THRIVES ON ABSOLUTE NEGLECT. IT GETS ORGANIC FERTILZER IN THE SPRING IF I REMEMBER AND ONLY THE WATER MOTHER NATURE PROVIDES AND STILL DOES WELL, I JUST WISH THE SCAPES WERE A FEW INCHES TALLER.
HAPPY GARDENING -KIM

Thank you for sharing your experiences with Mormon Kim.Other than the short scapes it sounds like a winner.
Maybe those seeds will produce plants with all of Morman's good qualities but with taller scapes for you.

Joy

I started out with a lot of the Wild daylilies on your list, but they have all left here over the years. I currently grow GREY WITCH ( wonderful color, increases like a rabbit here!) and HEAVENLY CURLS ( you will love this once it is established; gorgeous form); WISPY RAYS is super, as is DOUBLE CONCH SHELL, one of Pat Stamile's good older doubles. I don't grow DANCING LIONS but it was hybridized by Fred Benzinger who lives nearby and I have seen it looking great in a lot of gardens around the area. WILD AND WONDERFUL is great, I don't think it is pod fertile if you hybridize. Sounds like you're off to a great start!

There are going to be so many great pics coming up
Well, I did feel another order coming on and I did it.
I had forgotten about Dan at Ladybug so I ordered and got confirmation all are available!!

I ordered
Candie Dwyer
Great White
Jungle Butterfly
Lee Pickles
Pat Garrity

Then I placed my DaylilyManor order today for
Admirals Braid
Catcher in the Eye
Clothed in Glory
Kansas Kitten
Terry Lyninger
Enchanted Rainbow
Cindy's Eye ( Gotta have it )
Bamboo Blackie ( for my black and white bed )
China Lake
Drop Cloth

My first order will be shipped April 13th, then I will have an order shipped every Monday for the next three Mondays after that. It will be great!!

Only 18 days till spring.

Cindy

Floota, Thank you for sharing your experience.
It was very helpful.

Cindy, Oooh, You're getting some nice ones.

I placed a small order with nrb44 on Ebay for a couple daylilies that have been on my wish list for awhile now. I had read that they're good to deal with.

HELAMAN (Roberson 1981)
YELLOW TWAIN (Webster 1996)

There's just too many I'm lusting for. "G"

We're still getting frosts overnight but I see lots of plants poking out from their slumber. Crocuses are blooming. Spring is near.

I trued to restrain myself this year but like usual i bought quite a few. The best ones i bought are White Eyes Pink Dragon and Purple Cheatah

Some other plants must go eventually to make room for these lovelies. I do sooooo envy those of you who have ordered a slew of daylilies. I have ordered:
Awesome Blossom
Border Music
Francis of Assisi
Lingering Loveliness
Spacecoast Pink Lady
Wedding Band

I'm trying to behave myself this year. I have placed one order, from Marietta's:

DESTINED TO SEE
MISSOURI MORNING MELODY
PARTY PINAFORE
CHILI SPICE
SOUTH SEAS
ROSE MASTERPIECE

Other than that, I'm just hoping to find Damascan Velvet for sale somewhere. Most places I've seen that have it are not selling it. I find it, get all excited, and then realize it's display only. :-( I'm crossing my fingers that when Eclectic updates its list for 2009, it's available for purchase.

I broke my own rule about ordering in the fall for spring shipping - and ordered just one:

Blue Desire

Renee

I have quite a few ordered for the spring and just got my first order today. Bought Talladega from Floyd Cove and I think it's the largest fan I've ever seen and I've bought hundreds of dl's before. I received Chang Dynasty (3 fans) as a bonus, so, my planting season has begun! :)
Photos from Floyd Cove...Talladega first.
{{gwi:664748}}
Chang Dynasty next.
{{gwi:664749}}
Jan

Wow, I agree... there are going to be some wonderful pics next year! I will be really anxious to see how TALLAGEDA and the BUTTERFLY COLLECTION do. They were on my list but I chose to pass this year to see how they do for others.

I feel like the queen of restraint this spring. I only have a few coming:

Marietta Gardens:
ADA MAY MUSICK
BUBBLE YUMMIN MAMA
CAT SCRATCH

Lily Auction:
SOUTH SEAS
HIDDEN RAINBOW
LAVENDER RAINBOW
GALLANT HOUR

I am still considering picking up LAST SNOWFLAKE, but so far have had a hard time parting with the $$.

Julie

(PS, I guess it is only fair to come clean and tell you that the "queen of restraint" is able to be such as she ordered and planted around 75 new kids last fall! )

Joy,
I grow a quite a number of old Wild daylilies. My mom bought from them when the Wild family still owned the business. They used to have a lot of their plants on a list, if you picked $100 worth you paid $50, so she bought a lot. We still grow all of those and a whole lot more and newer cultivars on the family farm in Indiana.
They have all done very well there. Most of them are dormants.
BUTTERFLY KISSES, GENTLE BLESSING(still a great white),SCHOOL GIRL(a favorite--have it in a front yard bed,smaller flower, but a beauty),BEN ARTHUR DAVIS(a very large flower, lovely pastel),JIM'S PICK(will probably always have this one,love it--one of the first edge-no-eye),GOLLIWOG. All have done very well, are huge clumps at the farm now.
MOJAVE SUNSET--beautiful huge bloom, very vigorous
LAKE MORMAN SUNSET--another very pretty flower
FUCHSIA DREAM--can't beat the color and I like UF's
LOIS BURNS--giant spidery type yellow
GREY WITCH--fairly new to my garden--doing well even in the shade
All of these have been great plants for us.
OAKE'S LOVE--this one died for me, didn't have a very good garden position, but I didn't replace it--an EV and they can be iffy for me.
My daughter lived in Olympia for 4 years. I sent her some daylilies. Two oldies LADY NEVA and HUDSON VALLEY did fantastic for her. Her clumps were so big when she left that she divided them and gave a bunch of them away. She was afraid that the new owners might not appreciate them and might destroy them, so she left some, but the biggest share went to friends who would care for them. They both have huge blooms. If you don't have those two, you might consider them. Her's loved the Wa climate.

Beth
Zone 5, Illinois

Beth, I can vouch for Lady Neva even though I haven't had it very long. It's a late bloomer here in southern Indiana and it really lengthens the season for me.
{{gwi:664750}}

Every time we have another winter storm I want to order more...12 storms so far[including a bad ice storm]...mild today and here are just some I've ordered: Saber Tooth Tiger, Buzz Saw, Julie Newmar[thanks for all the comments to those who posted on her]....Joyful Soul, Moon Jazz, August Wedding Celestial Army, Green Mystique, Northern Splender, Wren's Song, Isle of Man, Kit& Kaboodle[new intro from Penny Manning[Ballpoint Gardens], Get Your SHine On, Instant Celebration, Lemon Fringed Pastel, Mary's Baby, Ruth Parish, Smile Again, and a bunch of otheres plus a bunch of Munsons.....okay..I'll learn retraint...a new roof this fall will slow my buying down[at last]...cheers, everyone hurry spring....lloyd..you have all ordered a lot of great plants...I've got to learn how to post pics.....looking forward to all you summer pics

I have got to stay off of that auction! I was doing so good considering my lack of space. The largest holes in the garden beds I plan to fill with seedlings. Now I've ordered more that are really going to be crammed in once they all grow to clump size....but my dear friend Robin Calderon of Earlybird Daylilies has been posting on the auctions again and I just had to poke around her website...like I had any business doing so.

Here's what's coming in addition to my previous post:
Alaqua (beautiful eye)
Atlanta Fringe Benefit (my first toothy edge)
Betty Bennett Brown (very pretty dip edge-no-eye)
Butterscotch Charm (my first ee + re for season extender)
Double River Wye (my first Kropf double)
Earth Angel (beautiful form & gold edge)
Fancy Face (love Jack Carpenter's diploids)
Marie Hooper Memorial (again J. Carpenter HUGE (8.25") dip)
Penny Earned (my first true mini, also ee + re)
Seductor (nice clear red)
Sombrero Way (my first Reckamp)
Zella Virginia (another first Kropf)

Here is a link that might be useful: Earlybird Daylilies

I just received my order from Floyd Cove this week and OMG the fans on Talladega, Last Snowflake and Zahadoom are huge!!! Jan you are right, I think Talledaga is the biggest daylily fan that I have seen too.

I don't mean for this to sound derogatory in any way, but those large fans will "shrink" as they become acclimated to "regular" gardens and quit getting the massive doses of fertilizer and water they've been getting. I've been ordering from Floyd Cove since 1998 and they always send great orders, but these large plants won't stay that way after a few months! Looking forward to getting TALLEDAGA, GET JIGGY, WATER DROPS, FRINGY..( I forget) but it will be another 5 or 6 weeks before the weather is good enough here to plant daylilies. We got wet snow yesterday! Spring can't get here soon enough.

TALLADEGA sure is eye-catching.(understatement!) If I thought I'd see an edge even remotely like the one in the catalog, I'd order it in a heartbeat. But alas, Pennsylvania and Florida are two very different animals. I'll be very interested to see what it looks like when grown in northern gardens.

Yes, I am sure they will shrink some once they get established but I was just making the comment on how big they are compared to some of the other places I have bought from. I do fertilize quite a bit myself and I have some daylilies that do get pretty big. I think it also has to do with being in the south. We don't really have a winter most of the time. I was just looking at some daylilies yesterday that I bought from Washington recently and put the one's I got from Floyd Cove next to them and what a difference!
