pnwjoy, My sister lives in Longview WA. It's my first year to order DL too. I see we have some of the same cultivars. I'll be interested to see how they do in your climate so I'll know whether to share with sis or not. Here are my new dl. A couple came last fall so I'll be looking to see if they survived the winter and have new growth. From LA wins (Dawblaw, Hemnuts, Maximus7116, Mike144mann, Daredevil, Tjlily, Screek, Zildjian): Ancient Wisdom Antique Charm Avante Garde Bluegrass Strawberry Taffy Broadway Gal Carnival Flair Chevron Spider Cleopatra's Jewel Desperado Love Lexington Ave Mariachi Milk Chocolate Miss Tinkerbell Mynelle's Starfish Natchez Moon Notify Ground Crew Passion In Paris Persian Pattern Prairie Tornado Quilt Patch Roses In Snow Royal Kaleidoscope Scaramouche Sears Tower Tell About It Wild Horses Box stores: Dream Legacy Ribonnette Trade: Wineberry Candy Ordered from Bluegrass: Bagana Baitoushan Royal Flycatcher Jungle Fowl Volcan Fuego Ordered from Banner (clumps): Barbara Mitchell Pearlfisher Pink Strawberry Candy Yazoo Jim Terry Fairy Tale Pink (alt if she doesn't have enough PP) Still need to use my AHS voucher so I'm thinking of selecting a few from these from Newbury Daylilies. I'm looking for talls to hide an ugly fence & maybe hybridize with: Applique Asiatic Pheasant Autumn Minnaret Challenger Highboy His Highness Johnny Reb Statuesque Red Ribbons Scapes From Hell Tetrina's Daughter

This is my third year growing Emmaus. The first year I had it, it bloomed huge flowers about 10 inches off the ground! That really looked funny, but I was pleased to see any blooms at all on it. Lexington Avenue is quite a nice flower. I've had mine for many years and enjoy seeing it every summer. Here was a first year picture of Lexington Avenue Linda

Your Roman Cohort looks wonderful. Can't wait until mine is that size. I only purchased a single fan, but I think it's starting to increase this year. Carolina Sugar Daddy......I definitely *need* that one. Love it! And love the name. lol How about a tall purple spider? For reds.....I love Tournament Of Roses. It's very bright with an orange throat. Oldies that I love are Scarlet Orbit and Chicago Ruby. Bandito Rojo is a new red here that I'm really liking a lot. Fire On The Mountain is a really pretty red Carpenter. Japanese Brocade and Cavatina are my favorite Munson reds. Rocket Booster is a really nice big red. Most of my reds are rose reds. Have fun looking! Michelle

Vela: See my post above re: Munsons. Munson was a famous hybridizer who really failed to get major recognition until after his death around the year 2000. His daylilies and hybridizing efforts are the basis of many of the new cutting edge daylilies that have all the wonderful watermarks and eyes. He also had a flair for the simple elegant look in some daylilies such as Lilac Snow shown above. With that being said, a large group of people like myself and several others on here started collecting his daylilies before they are lost forever. Some of us are using them in our own hybridizing efforts as the incredible gene pool he created has been barely been touched. I have been looking at some catalogs from Daylily Discounters that another poster so generously sent me so I can scan them.. Some are lost forever such as Roadmaster I am afraid. I am about to start scanning them now that I can breathe again (Daylilies are winding down and my son is all graduated from High School) so I can get them back to her. I will post a link to my PictureTrail Account when completed once I figure out what to scan and post there. The earlier Daylily Discounters catalogs mixed them in with others so I will need to be selective as I do not have much more room on that account!! LOL
