Great pics, as usual. Your photos of SILOAM DOUBLE CLASSIC are always terrific, and remind me what a great, reliable performer it is.

I have to agree. Your picture of SDC is luscious. I like Wisest of Wizards too.

24/7 Daylilies
Q
Comments (3)
There IS a '24/7' marketing program directed & operated by GARDEN DEBUT (GOOGLE their website). Currently there are 8 selected daylilies listed - ALL specifically bred & listed & marketed for the massive North American retail market. All appear to be both trademarked (Their names) & either 'plant patented' (PP# ....) or the 'patent has been applied for' (PPAF# ....) ALL have been properly registered with the AHS system & are tetraploids. One should keep a few points in mind whilst considering what's taking place here with this (newest) daylily marketing program .... 'Groups' such as Garden Debut; All American; Trophytaker; Happy-Ever-Appster; etc.are made up of carefully selected, outstanding-performance, individual plants. Daylilies have been mass-marketed for several years now the same as other plants such as chrysanthemums; geraniums (Perlagoniums); selected shrubs & trees, etc. For every avid daylily collector or breeder (AHS members?) there are thousands - thousands - of 'regular gardeners' or simply 'yard decorators' who simply want colour - reliable predictable colour for their gardens. The easier (Read 'effortless') the plant is ... all the better. Most people do not want to pamper their plants. Do not want to become involved with their plants (Making 'pets' out of them) as do many who would be reading GW Reports and similar info sites. Nobody would invest the $$$ + effort + time to go through a PPAF & 'Trademarket name regsitration' plus set up a complex growing & marketing & distribution program if there wasn't some income with profit projection. Such national (Some are international) programs get quality daylilies into many more gardens than the outlets most of us would normally go to for new cultivars. I suspect that many future AHS members and serious collectors are drawn in to our daylily world by such enticing 'Trademarked & Patented Dayliles' such as Early-Bird Cardinal; Kokomo Sunset; Going Bananas; Mean Mister Mustard; etc.- acquired through so called Big-Box Stores and complex mail-order retailers. I guess I should also explain at this point that I am NOT involved in any manner with daylily marketing or retail ... I'm simply curious about all manner of our chosen plant & especially the evolution of the farming & marketing & distribution of them. We grow our interests and our daylilies in a complicated and ever changing gardening culture ... These marketers are simply taking advantage of openings within it and actually improving our chosen plant by breeding 'ever-bloomers' + 'self-cleaners' + many more desirable traits. Garry

Kathy, these are all beautiful, but as the others said, SDC is really a standout! After you posted the previous photo of it with all the scapes and buds, I went out to see what mine was up to this year, and it looks a lot like your first photo. Scapes and buds galore. Now seeing yours blooming, I can't wait for mine to start.
Thanks for sharing.

I don't know why I haven't add SDD yet. From all the feedback it seems to be a stellar performer. I just got WISEST OF WIZARDS this spring and looking forward to blooms next year.
Thanks for sharing your pics.

Chris, SDC is my most photographed daylily. I have trouble getting good pics of it because it is light colored and the glare from the sun makes it look washed out. For every one you've seen I've taken hundreds that were lousy. So thank you for the compliment - it means a lot.
:-)

maryl, WISEST OF WIZARDS had a bad year last year due to thrips. So far it looks good this year and I hope it stays that way!

Jan, Thanks! Two of my SDC clumps were eaten up with aphids before I even noticed. They both had to be cut back (thank goodness they left one clump alone). Keep an eye on yours.

blue23rose, Thank you! I've been impressed with NICOLE CABRERA. Every flower has opened perfectly. I got it as a bonus last Fall.

Jake, I like both of those because they clump up quickly and put on a good show.

ladydonna, The color in the pic of GALAXY EXPLOSION is accurate. Mine is in full sun, so it fades a little by late afternoon (but not much). I prefer larger flowers, but it has stayed rust free since I planted it last year - so it's definitely a keeper.

Rick, Thanks! EE is a looker - I like all the dark ones.

Julia, I'm glad you enjoyed the pics! WISEST OF WIZARDS is also very fertile (if you're into hybridizing).

fairysoapgirl, We'll be looking forward to seeing yours' soon!
