My daylilies are starting to bloom (pics)

17 years ago

We had quite a storm last night. Lots of wind and 1/2 inch of rain in 1/2 hour. Went out this morning to see how the DLs faired with the wind. There are lots of scapes and a few are starting to bloom. Well I did find several scapes that were broken, but most survived.

Here are a few pictures I took this morning. Enjoy!

Tulips blooming in the front yard daylily garden (pics)

Nancy- I didn't think about it until you pointed it out but the tulips really are just in time for easter. Not a big deal for me now but it brings back memories of when I was a child. My dad really loved tulips and always had some planted. My mom and I always had to stand in front of the tulip display for in our easter outfits for pictures on Easter Sunday. I have always loved tulips as long as I can remember and I am sure that it goes back to these childhood memories. Christine- The tulips are the Scheepers Early Tulip Mix. When they started blooming this spring with the purple tulips, I was surprised to see that color. I went back to their website and checked again and sure enough, it was supposed to be a mix of hot colors like red, yellow, orange and blends but no purple or pink. But I like the purple in there, I think it looks good so I don't mind. The terracing does make it easier to show off the plants plus I can squeeze lots more in than I ever could if I had a flat yard. I am really glad that front yard space is terraced as it shows off the bulb disply so well. I had to look up camassia as I have never heard of it. Thanks for the suggestion but it doesn't appeal to be at all.

Sorry I forgot to answer questions. piksi,,I bought all of the new intros directly from the hybridizers. The rest I got from the Lily Auction. Jan, Mint Octopus measures about 8". It is sure pretty. Goldenzelle really is that bright yellow color, sort of neon yellow. I love and it bought 2 clumps. I think I have 7 bloom stalks on it this year. It is also pod fertile. Dot

Oh gosh, where to start!? I just planted Dallas Star this Spring and it has bloomed, but not photo-worthy. In fact, I wondered why I wanted it in the first place, it was so un-impressive. But seeing yours gives me hope for next year! Piano Man was on last year's wish list, but I foolishly passed it up - can't imagine why! It just went back on my list, since your shot is so wonderful! Fancy Buttons is one I've wanted for a long time. Sure love your capture of the bloom. Just planted my Susan Weber this Spring, but looks like she will wait until next year to bloom. Again, yours is awesome. Thanks for sharing, Julie

Daylilies that have bloomed in my yard so far this year

Thanks, all, for looking and commenting! David, I just got TTWB last August, so can't evaluate it yet. Here is a picture I took this morning for you (around 10AM, rainy and in the 50s). You're right, I think it is only registered at 18", but it does say the rebloom scapes are taller and better budded. Mantis, I got Ivory Titan as a gift last year, so it is another one that I haven't had long. Here is a scape pic I took the other day...

Hi MaryLu,

Someone gave your link in the Garden Accoutrements forum to show your picket fence. I went through your website and loved your enchanting garden. Hope it is okay that I posted it again for everyone to indulge in it.

I LOVE my daylilies! They are my favorite perennial in the whole garden! Yours are just GORGEOUS!! How long do they bloom for you?I know that some varieties only bloom once and then stop, and I have a few of those, but as a newbie I must have gotten stupid lucky when I went to the website I love best (Homestead Gardens in MO) and picked my daylily order on pictures alone because most of mine give me at least two months of continuous bloom, and some bloom all summer for me! I only have one or two of the ones you have pictured, but yours are all gorgeous and I'm very jealous of the pink curly ribbons--I'd love to have some spiders! Congratulations on your beautiful blooms!

almendra...no problem. I haven't had time yet this summer to start a 2006 page for the web site. Have been taking pictures, but that's about it. As you can see from the pics below, the picket fence has "aged" nicely.

Will have to get DH up on the roof to take a pic of the daylily bed when they really start blooming to add to the "other Projects" page. It is unreal how that bed has filled in in just one year. The entire bed was planted in May of 2005.

Please ignore the weeds. I started on this bed this morning, but it was just too hot today.

Marylu are you interested in exchanging daylillies, I have some beautiful ones too. As they are very costly to buy I thought maybe I'd find someone to exchange with
1. Siloma double classic
2. Alaska Midnight
I have several beautiful ones, Interested? Margaret
