Some Spider/UFO's -

ALL AMERICAN CHIEF - nice red

{{gwi:725216}}

BAT SIGNAL - bonus last year, tall scapes, not crazy about the color, fades to an ugly tan/brown by afternoon

{{gwi:823484}}

CURLY CINNAMON WINDMILL - new, scapes have been short, thin and weak

{{gwi:725222}}

KINDLY LIGHT - new, delicate flower, weak scapes

{{gwi:823485}}

LADY NEVA and LONG STOCKING - both reliable bloomers

{{gwi:823486}}

LAUGHING OUT LOUD - new this year, lots of blooms

{{gwi:823487}}

LONG STOCKING - color is off in this pic...more of a brick red - pollen fertile, but will not set pods for me

{{gwi:823488}}

PRIMAL SCREAM - wonderful color

{{gwi:823489}}

RUBY SPIDER - another nice red

{{gwi:823490}}

SNOOKS SEEDLING - love the curls

{{gwi:823491}}

SPIDERMAN - becoming one of my favorites

{{gwi:823492}}

TIGEREYE SPIDER - very floriferous and fertile

{{gwi:823493}}

I can't remember the last time we had rain. Everything is starting to get "crispy".

Kathy, thank you for your pics. I am slowly becoming a fan of spiders. Some that I particularly like are Bat Signal - sorry it fades during the day - Laughing Out Loud, Ruby Spider, and the Snooks seedling. Love those curls.

Kathy,
GREAT pics.
Thanks for the narrative on them.
On my list goes:
TIGEREYE SPIDER (been looking at that one)
SPIDERMAN (why don't I already have that one?)
PRIMAL SCREAM
........
OK, I'll just put them all on my list.
Thanks for feeding my addiction.
WOOOO HOOOO.

I've got a Peacock Maiden to set pollen on a few other plants, but I've tried like crazy to get it to set pods and I've had no luck, none. It's one of the prettiest spiders(UFO) or whatever that I've ever seen. I've also got Long Stockings blooming for the first time and Christmas Ribbon had it's first bloom for me today. Both of these are pretty. Long Stocking has a lot more orange in it for me: Christmas Ribbon is way more red even though you can't tell it in these pictures:

Huben's 2009 intro - Begin With A Bang - has FFO for me here in Ontario (Z4 USA - probably 5 Canada) between June 9 & 19th over the 5 years I've had it. (Usually finishes blooming by July 8-9th) I would suggest that you go back to your source & ask them - IF that's where the mix up occurred. I have quite a few EE's but none are spiders or UF's. I did have one bright cantaloupe orange UF bloom this year earlier than many EE's, however, it was a 2013 delayed scape I believe, as this cultivar (A noid I've had for about 15 years) normally blooms L-VL.

Any golden yellow and red spiders or ufo's out there

I'm not sure whether you're looking for red ones and yellow ones, or for red/yellow ones. For red spiders and/or unusual forms, check out the web sites of Jim Murphy, Dan Bachman, and Jamie Gossard. Come to think of it, check out their web sites for the yellow ones, too. Also Bob Schwarz, on Long Island. Red/yellow - still check out Murphy, Bachman, and Gossard, and add Darlyn Wilkinson's GREYWOODS SPIRIT HAWK. I got this one from her with an order, and it's one of those daylilies that goes and goes and goes. Not a color combo I'd have ordered myself, but I am SO VERY happy she sent this. It's fabulous. Web sites = Dan Bachman (Valley of the Daylilies) = http://www.thevalleyofthedaylilies.com/2009Intros.html Jamie Gossard (Heavenly Gardens) = http://www.daylilynet.com/ - go to Heavenly Gardens; and http://www.daylilynet.com/jamie_gossard_s_heavenly_gardens__all_introductions.htm Jim Murphy (and of course Margo Reed; Woodhenge Gardens) = http://www.woodhengegardens.com/ Bob Schwarz (and his wife, Mimi; Rainbow Gardens) = http://daylily.net/bobandmimi/index.htm Darlyn Wilkinson = http://greywoodfarm.squarespace.com/2009-daylily-introductions/ I chose hybridizers whose plants I grow and love, but are you in Oklahoma? You should also look at the Trimmers' intros, the Stamiles, and other southerners as well. Not to mention, there's Bob Scott, who's in Oklahoma. I associate him with doubles, but of course he'd done more than that. He might have what you're looking for

Latest UFO Sighting (1 pic)
Q

Thanks, everyone. Avedon, no, I have very few UFs if any. This one just showed up. The pod parent is a brilliant red dip seedling of mine with a yellow star throat I've had for 4-5 years and plan to register it this year. I wouldn't call it a UF, but maybe a not-quite spider. I was lazy at the beginning of the season last year and did not keep record of pollen parents. I sure don't have anything that tall in the entire garden. The garden looks greener, Val, as unlike much of the country, we did get rain often in July, and because I have been working row by row on cleaning up the daylilies. I remove the yellowed leaves, and two days later there are more (as you can see). Out of 40 rows, I still have 7 rows to go. I manage to get one row cleaned up per day. It is slow-going because I have to sit in a lawn chair and move it from daylily to daylily. This ole gray mare ain't what she used to be! Nancy

Kathy,
That's a nice group of spiders and UFOs. I think my favorites would be Spiderman and Tigereye Spider. I notice you have a few dormants. How do they perform for you there in Florida?

We are currently having quite the storm, complete with frantic dog. Not that I am complaining, mind you...not at all with our water problems!

That Tigereye Spider is quite eye catching...I agree! I have a big clump of Kindly Light and have not noticed weak scapes. I'll pay it more attention when it blooms here. Ruby Spider and Spiderman are also large clumps here and neither has ever given me a moment's trouble! Primal Scream hasn't increased too much for me, but I've enjoyed it for the past two summers.

You know, I was thinking that I have a couple that were new last year and I thought they had leaning scapes. I'm glad you reminded me. It will be interesting to see if they do again this year. Gotta give them another chance!

Thanks for a very nice show!

Glad y'all enjoyed the pics!

Debra, All of the dormants I've tried so far are doing well. Some perform as well as evergreens. Others seem slow to increase, but I'm not sure if that is because it is dormant, or if it is the nature of that plant (I'm thinking of PRIMAL SCREAM which I bought as a single fan last year and is now 3 fans - this is slow increase compared to other DL's in my garden).

gonegardening - weak scapes are a pet peeve of mine. If I have to pick them up off the ground and stake them, it annoys me. I plan to move the two new ones, KINDLY LIGHT and CURLY CINNAMON WINDMILL, into full sun this coming Fall. Sometimes this helps. We'll see how they do next year.
