Friday daylilies in the backyard.

11 years ago

Some backyard garden views and then closeps of daylilies blooming around that area pictured.

Here is my Hearts Of Fire Row.

Then if I move back you can see the Hearts Of Fire row in the backround and there is NO BLUE OXFORDS along in front of it and way in the front a mini row of FOX POINT.

A slightly different angle of the same.

And now I simply walked down the path and turned around and am looking from the other direction.

No Blue Oxfords

Fox Point

Ambrosia Rows started blooming. This is my favorite double.

Closeup.

Willow Dean Smith is also already blooming (way too early).

You have some real stunners today. My top favorite is that amazing row of Hearts of Fire daylilies. So breathtaking! That Ambrosia Rows double is quite fetching, and Desire of Nations is a jewel of a purple. Willow Dean Smith is gorgeous and looks pink in your garden. Mine continues to look lavender. But I like both looks.

Yes, you did the right thing planhting 18 inches apart. My daylilies on the plateau pictures are too close but I was too impatient and hated the bare look so I spaced them close in mostly groups of three. I will have to enentually take out every other group. This year I planted my daylilies 16 to 18 inches apart in the new daylily beds I made and I planted annuals in between for now to fill in. One area has a flat of Cosmos that I bought and planted between the daylilies. IN the terraces gardens not pictured here I put lots and lots of zinnias in between the daylilies plus there are other perrenials in there too. You would not believe the difference this spring from the pictures last summer. The view towards that fountain garden in back of the garage looks smashing with just the fact that the path is now green grass (hadden't seeded it yet in the pictures) and the daylilies that are growing at the base and around the fountain. The daylily plateau, which is what was referred to as the brick planter, looks even better this spring. I need to get a chance to do some weeding on it and put more mulch but it really looks good. The plateau is a pure daylily garden. Its going to be attention getting in daylily bloom season and then its just green the rest of the time.

Hey, I am really glad to see a fellow collector of those late and extra late blooming daylilies. My garden is also full of late and extra late bloomers. I don't know how anyone manages without them as that means bloom season is done much too soon. I do have some from your list but mine have bloomed already and are done.

Dick, I did not receive it as that one as Freedom's Triumph, but as Enduring Freedom. Which might be a disappointment because I just got Freedom's Triumph this spring. They look very similar. I have a serious tendency to like ruffled edges and I like watermarks so not surprising I end up with lots of similar looking plants. Enduring Freedom has always had lots of blooms, and plenty of pretty blooms, just some can be splotchy. So far most all have been perfect. I had not caught just how similar they are though. Avedon, I got worried that maybe my camera had distorted the color or something on Green Rainbow, so went back out and checked. Other than the photo is taken in shade in the morning and might look a bit darker than in full sun, it is accurate. I meant to take a picture in full sun, but it got so hot and humid out, I forgot all about it. I have always loved Buttermilk Moon, it is often overlooked because of its lack of color. Lori, thank you. Gemini Jack is a great double, I have always enjoyed it, and Rapid Eye Movement really attracts attention.

Lovely group. I have Carnival In Brazil which hasn't started opening yet and tends to be around late July/early August. Man of Sorrows looks wonderful in a clump. I noticed several of Emmerichs intro not doing well here than in previous years when we had more rain and more substantial winter snow. But then I could say that about several others that are not Emmerichs.

Debra, WDS is just pinkish today for some reason. Don't know why. I thought Hearts Of Fire would look good in a row along there when I planted it and it has turned out well. Haven't forgotten that I will send you some later!

Thanks Jean. Honestly sometimes I don't know what to take pictures of there are so many here.

Kenora Wildfire is remarkable. Too bad the Culver intros aren't better distributed. Other than Fox Point and Cardinal Explosion, do you have other Culver intros?

All those clumps are amazing. One daylily just jumped onto the top of my short list: Kendora Wildfire. How has it done for you so far?

Your garden looks so very lush & green, a feast for the eyes. I love seeing your garden photos, so much in bloom. All your daylilies are so pretty, I think my favorite is Sam Abel, although several really caught my eye. I don't really go for doubles much, but I like the look of Ambrosia Rows. Kendora Wildfire looks great too.

Hello, Rita, so glad to be sending you a post. As usual, I am overwhelmed by your beautiful garden. There is simply no way to pick favorites, but the row of Hearts of Fire just knocks me out. Kenora Wildfire, Ambrosia Rows, Willow Dean Smith and all the rest are breathtaking. I know there are more to follow, for you have such a long season with all your late bloomers. Can hardly wait to see them all. Avedon

Chris, I missplelled it. It is KENORA WILDFIRE by Bryan Culver. I buy my Culver intros from Melanie Masion as he us up in Canada.

It is an amazing daylily. Sunfast, beautiful and a fabulous garden plant.

Nancy, I don't must go for the doubles either but I just love AMBROSIA ROWS.

Avedon, thanks. I don't think there will be that much late bloom this year as everything is comming on so early.

Kenora Wildfire is my favorite, but I love that row of Hearts of fire and also, Harvest House. Sam Abel is a beauty. Everything looks so lovely and remarkably lush.

I really like your garden views! And my favorite is the row of Hearts of Fire. How do you mow or what do you do with the grass in picture 4?
And from many beautiful individual daylilies my favorites are Kenora Wildfire and Desire of Nations. And I love the picture of Tax Man Bill together with a red daylily.

Nat, thanks. The red in back of TAX MAN BILL is a Mason Intro and for the life of me I can't remember the name right now.

No problem mowing. Just go along with the lawnmower down the path. The weedwacking edging has to be done a little more carefully. Honestly, I can't believe how much the plants obscure the path. The daylilies have grow like supercrazy this year with all the rain.

Kay, thanks. Rain has made everything grow faster than normal here.

Val, same thing. We have been very fortunate to get lots of rain.

viking, thank you. SAM ABEL is a pretty one for sure.

Oh, I see, the path probably looks narrower than it is. My DH usually attaches a grass bag and that's how I lose buds on daylilies.

If you look at picture four carefully on the right you can see some glimpses of the stone edger pavers that define that bed and run along to stop the grass. Those daylilies are planted way back from the edges as I have a section of tulips planted in front of daylilies all along the row. Last year the daylily folliage on that side did not reach the grass, this year crazy.

On the left in that view where the HEARTS OF FIRE row is there is also edgers, this time of bricks. The lawn mower can run along under that daylily folliage that is draping over. Again, grew like crazy this year. The path is much wider than it looks in that picture. Usually (every year before this) quite wide enough to walk comfortably along without being crowded.
