Photos: DLs are now popping up all over & bud BUILDER +++++

These are all FFO and I am pleased with them.

Is this what is known as a bud builder? I tried to count them, but I had to start over, and over again.

Brief Enchantment

I have a 'thing' for long stockings - first there was Indy and now this one.

I wish Summertime Blues would sing the blues and bring some rain. The DLs sure do need it.

I will always have Colorado Moon Fire in my garden. I am really a 'pink & lavender' girl, but I have all colors and this one is dear to my heart.

I am so happy that I have these to share with you. I so enjoy looking at all your photos. Jane

Jane, they are so beautiful. I see why you want Colorado Moon Fire, it is gorgeous. I love that color. I'm new to daylilys so not sure if that is a bud builder? but it's got loads of buds.

Wow! Brief Enchantment should have been called Lengthy Enchantment. With all those buds, it's going to give you a long show. What you have is high branching and bud count on that one. If it continues to add buds after the flowers start blooming, then it is a bud-builder. I love the blue eye on Summertime Blues, and Colorado Moon Fire is gorgeous. Thanks for sharing your photos!

HI, thought I would introduce myself. I'm Maureen, 44 (will be 45 on Thursday :-) . I have a 12 yr old son Michael whom I live for, and my dog Lucky - a 3 yr old black lab who is my very best buddy in the world. I also have a crazy cat named Tiger and a russian tortoise named Spikes. I love gardening, roses, daylilys, plumeria, clematis and african violets. I'm going through a rough time in my life right now, my husband just told me 2 wks ago that he is not happy and left. He is getting on with his life so I guess eventually there will be a divorce. It broke my heart but with friends and family prayers and support I'm doing better today than I was 2 wks ago. If any of you pray, if you would pray for me and my son I would be so very grateful. I work f/t for a Union and have been there for 10 years. It is strictly a financial thing---i'm not really a "career lady" - just need to pay the mortgage and have a home for me and my son Michael. I come from a large family, have 4 sisters and 1 brother. Mom and Dad are divorced for 10 years now and live locally. Dad is remarried, Mom's single. I'm close with my Mom, she is a gardener too. We go for walks together, shop together and work out at the gym too. I'll go see if I can find some pics to post so you can see me and my son and pets. Nice to read about everyone here, look forward to getting friendly with you all. Maureen p.s. I started with daylilys last year, and ended the season with about 80 named varieties. I've purchased another 15 from Maryott's this week and am sure when I get some money for my birthday next week I'll have more I want to order. I bought most of my daylilys from Flynn's daylily garden. Ida is a great lady and her daylilys are awesome. And I traded for some of my daylilys. This summer I will get to see most of them bloom -- can't wait.

Thanks, everyone. It's nice to finally have the season started. Mantis, T&E has gotten less and less sun here as the tree near it has grown taller, so I'm not sure how much more pink it would show with more sun. I did notice that this photo didn't show much of its beautiful polychrome coloration, but it normally does have it. The flower is about 5" (recurved), is nicely branched and a tall one here at about 36". Maryl, that's a great photo and combination with Treasure of the Southwest. Are you planning to replace yours?

Question for DL growers for 3 yrs or longer, & a delicate DL.
Q
Comments (12)
Thank you all for your advice. I think I knew already that would be the answers. My DLs are sending up scapes and many blooms, but the blooms are not as large as last year, One that comes to mind is Siloam Double Classic. Last year it was gorgeous. This year, while there are many blooms they are smaller. We have also been without rain for a long time. We get rain in the areas around us, but we get hardly a mist. I can water because we have a good well, but I am not sure how long to let the sprinkler run at each section, and I read some place to little is worse than none at all. They say plants need an inch of rain a week, but how do you measure what an inch is when sprinkling? I was going to set a pan out in the garden and see how long it takes to get an inch of water accumulated, but wouldn't it make a difference in the size of the container, or would it show properly since the amount of water dropping in to the container would vary in time according to the size of that container? Thanks. Jane

My horrible trip to Hardy DL garden in CT
Q
Comments (27)
This is just a bit amusing to me. Not what Natanya went through at Hardy's, but just some thing that turned up on the net when I googled Hardy DL garden CT. What appeared to be an independent review of Hardy Daylily Gardens appears if you follow the link posted below. The review which was posted today no less has nothing but the utmost high regard for the owners of this establishment. I read through this whole thing and then looked at the links to the right of the review. To the right of the post you will see this link (Click Here to View Our List of Favorite Outdoor Plants to Grow in California). Anyway I went ahead and clicked on this and it takes you to Amazon.com and if you look to the right where it says about this Listmania author. Underneath you will see the name J. Hardy "expert", and below that "Plant Expert" Like I said above, I think it's pretty amusing that someone would right a review dated today in the wake of this unfortunate insident (and its repercussions by way of negative feedback), and when you follow the links it leads right to someone else whose last name happens to be Hardy. Hmmmmmmmmm. Could this have been written by a truly satisfied customer?? Maybe, but when you see the name at the Amzon site it does make you raise your eyebrows and wonder some. People do make mistakes and we all have bad days. If and when it happen you say you're sorry and get on with life and work a bit harder so the same thing doesn't happen again. It just looks bad when you see this kind of bandaid put to use in order to compensate for a negative review. JMO Linda Here is a link that might be useful: CALIFORNIA PLANTS

Thanks all for your nice comments. I got Colorado Moon Fire from Subhana on the LA. She is listing now, and you might check to see if she has Colorado Moon Fire available. I saw it listed on her website recently and I think it was $5.00 but don't hold me to that. I got many DLs from her, and they do great here in central PA. She is from CA, and she sends very nice DLS. I got several orders of Indy Long Legs from her and they are blooming now, new this Spring and in pots. She left the new buds on for me hoping they would bloom, and did they ever.
She has to move from their current location so she might soon be ending her sales for now.

OH, WOW you all sure make it hard to hold on to my money LOL.
All of the DL are so pretty but I don't have enough room for to many so that helps keep the spending down.

Thanks for sharing your beautiful DL's
