I would love to get CLOWN PARADE, FLYING TRAPEZE, KEENE and a few others that are more in the spider/ufo/crispate forms and of course, add in some of those big watermark daylilies but until I clean out some, I have to hold tight and wait.

I like the looks of Happy Happy (but don't think I can grow Frank Smith intros here). I don't usually place fall orders because I've had mixed results in the past, but I may add a few more Hansons this fall. I need to have something new blooming every year, you know?

FASHION POLICE

ANSWERING ANGLES

Well, I have to have Waynes' World, from Curt Hanson, very pricey right now, so maybe I can do a lot of sighing when I look at it, next summer when I visit. It really does not look much like his catalog picture, but it is a bi tone, with a watermark. I had wanted Heavenly Angel Ice, but may hold off as I got Artic Tern which is a nice white UF. I only have room for 4 more daylilies in the garden, will spend some time thinking about who needs to get potted up, and sent off. So I will not likely add any more this summer. But then there is that darn auction over the winter. :).

MALAYSIAN MARKETPLACE was my "gotta have" that I actually purchased for this fall.

HEAVENLY ANGEL ICE is one I'd be looking for if I knew it would do well down here.

GALAXY EXPLOSION is one I would have added just for the novelty/hybrid potential of a "100% rust free" plant, but it's hard to find without a minimum purchase requirement above what I want to buy.

Nate

I would love Puppy Dog Kisses, Master of Disguise, Bob Marley, and Eenie Meenie Jelly Beanie. Unfortunately, I'm on a tight budget - so we'll see what happens :)

Wow, MEAN GREEN is an unusual mix of colors. It reminds me of the multi-flavored sherbet.

Nate

Here is MEAN GREEN in my garden. It is one of my favorites and I don't even like oranges as a rule. Uh, here is Bob Marley also. Guess I do like a few oranges.
MEAN GREEN

Just a personal note, I'm ready to boot FASHION POLICE out of the garden. It just doesn't ring my bell!

I would love to have Ruby Lipstick but it is still a bit cashy for me. On a different note, we got over an inch of rain this morning. First rain in about five weeks. My flowers are loving it.

I had to have two of Judy Davisson's new intros because they are late bloomers, Miss Goldie Gold Digger and We Are the Champions. I'm getting a few in trades this fall. But I won't be buying anymore this year. I no longer have the big wish list of daylilies I had in the past. What's tops on my wish list is to downsize and make more room to plant seedlings.

MISS GOLDIE GOLD DIGGER

WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS

I'm just about maxed out here. I finally found the last two on my official "must have" list at a reasonable price: Shores of Time and Santa's Little Helper. I'm really torn about putting off until next spring Carpenter's Treasure of the Southwest. I may not be able to wait....Maryl

SHORES OF TIME

SANTAS LITTLE HELPER

TREASURES OF THE SOUTHWEST

Hello to all,
I've got "Santa's Little Helper" on order from Maryotts. It is on sale for $14. I love "Mean Green" from ya'll pictures. It's an awesome color. I'd also like to get "Wheel of Time" also. Wow! Folks, ya'll are really feedling my habit for WANTING!!! I love every minute of it. Thanks for showing me all the beauties, Mona

This is really an interesting thread! I can't pick just one, as I have to replace those we lost this year. I have quite a list, too long to show pics but here are my most wanted for this fall:

President Ronald Reagan, Bluegrass Music, Upgrade, Malaysian Marketplace, Clown Parade, Cerise Masterpiece, Fujitani, Sir Francis Drake, Ellis Powell, Larry's Obsession, Mee Ying, Chinese Scribe, Heavely Angel Ice, Mark Allen Perry, Lady Stephanie Victoria Redding, Bubble Yummin Mama and Caesar Augustus.

I also want a really great yellow, but haven't decided which one is best yet.

That's alot of work to post all the "wants" pictures Mamasllamas, and I for one say thank you. It's added a few to my long list that I might never have thought of without the pictures you have posted here.....Maryl

Caesar Augustus has been here for 2 years and has yet to look like that picture. The "spearpoint" eye just doesn't show which is a huge disappointment. So far it looks pretty darn ordinary. Maybe the third season will be the charm.
Sir Francis Drake, Mark Allen Perry and Ellis Powell do look like their pictures. Oh well! I don't grow Bluegrass Music but when seeing it in gardens, it hasn't looked as good as the pictures. ( the pictures I've taken of it aren't nearly as flattering as the one pictured above.) I'd love to see a garden picture of that one!

"I don't grow Bluegrass Music but when seeing it in gardens, it hasn't looked as good as the pictures. ( the pictures I've taken of it aren't nearly as flattering as the one pictured above.) I'd love to see a garden picture of that one!"

I rarely even consider buying previously released intros if the sellers do not have their own pictures of the blooms as they appear in their own gardens. There are certain intros that one still sees, some years after their introduction and with enough time to have settled in, that still seem to be marketed with the hybridizers' original photos. That's a warning sign, for me at least.

Just one example of differences between hybridizer's original image and what one might see in gardens: VENUS FLY TRAP is really coming into its own here, but I have not seen white teeth on it. The teeth are definitely in the yellow/gold color range. Also, the color is more maroon than purple. This a.m., after a cool night, the color was really nice, and yes, there were purple tones to it. But still, not as purple as that image would suggest. Maybe with more time....

There are some plants I thought I really wanted. Then I saw pictures taken in people's gardens. Off the list they went.

But it cuts both ways. floota, your picture of MEAN GREEN makes that one a Must Have for me! And I'd never reacted much to it one way or the other before.

Since you're offering, I'll take one of Floydcove's new XYLOPHONE JAZZ. I think it looks pretty special.
Thanks much, Ed

Here's a few more of Bluegrass Music

What I really want isn't available. It's a seedling that has a most unusual eye, combo of colors, and potential for pattern. Unfortunately, the hybridizer refuses to part with a piece even though it is unlikely ever to be introduced. I tried my best, but to no avail. Sigh.

Floydcove's new XYLOPHONE JAZZ

Here are the best two pictures I managed to get of CAESAR AUGUSTUS this season.

Pretty ordinary to this point IMHO but I'm still hoping for improvement.
Couldn't find but one picture of BLUEGRASS MUSIC - could have sworn I took other pics of it this summer but can't find them. This didn't look very blue to me. Of course I'm still behind by a couple hundred pictures so maybe it just hasn't been filed yet.

Lynxe, MEAN GREEN was one of three that club members really, really wanted to beg, borrow,or trade a piece of after this summer's tours. the others that people went nuts over were Coffee to Go and Tiger By the Tail. Michael Davisson wasn't blooming the day most people were here or it surely would have gotten a lot of attention.

My wish list is loooooooong but I'm only getting one or two this year so I have to choose wisely.
That pic of Pres. Ronald Reagan is gorgeous! Adding that to the list.
So, if I can, I will get one or two of the following:
MEAN GREEN
CLOWN PARADE
JOAN DERIFIELD
BLOOD SWEAT AND TEARS
SILVER RINGS

For what it is worth, I saw Bluegrass Music at the daylily show this spring and was underwhelmed. It was potted and for sale. The bloom was not overly large (4" or so) and the much talked about blue pattern was really not much to talk about. I asked her if she had Blue Hippo, another one I'd seen hybridizers pics of and liked, and she said she had had it but it had sold out immediately. Maybe it's a better looking bloom? I sometimes think that some of these daylilies are more for breeders then the common folk who are simply looking for the WOW factor in their gardens. Bluegrass Music certainly didn't wow anyone that passed by it while I was there. It remained unsold....Lynx: Good point about the garden pictures rather then just hybridizers pictures. I'm rather leary of fancy older intros that always seem to be labled "display" at resellers gardens. Are they not vigorous enough to produce enough plants to meet demand? Always gives me pause anyway.....Maryl

I was all ready to buy Bluegrass Music two years ago and then saw it in person at Thoroughbred Daylilies. I was not impressed.

Xylophone Jazz has a fantastic pattern. If I were adding to a wishlist, that's one I would add.

JOAN DERIFIELD

BLOOD SWEAT AND TEARS

SILVER RINGS

I sure do appreciate the input on Caesar Augustus and Bluegrass Music. I don't get out much, and all I have to go on is what is talked about here at the forum and the pictures. I know how much the pictures can differ from reality. Hot-house daylilies do not look the same in gardens. I'd hate to spend $$$ and end up with a great disappointment. I bought President Ronald Reagan this year, but it died, so will try one more time.

You folks are the best judges of what's great! Thanks!

Nancy

WHEEL OF TIME

Look at the difference from the last photos both are of
Wheel of Time one from the grower? and one from someones home big difference!

Yeah, I bought WHEEL OF TIME as well as THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS for their great patterns despite the fact that there are some really lousy photos on seller websites and the AHS Database. They also both have pretty plain looking cream/salmon/peach selfs. I'm thinking they'll be fun for crossing, though. Both will begin in the back yard for sure, and if they're super, they may get to move to the front. ;)

Nate

Nate if you want GALAXY EXPOLSION you can have mine when the pods are off for postage. Send me a message if you want it.

Email sent - thanks!

Nate

I just seen a picture of one on Cindys post of the ones she seen at the flower show,and I would sure love to have that one.FABULEOUS FREIDA. I might have not spelled it right, b ut that is a beautiful red daylily.

Jean

I checked on Fabulous Frieda on the AHS site and was surprised that it looks a lot like Christmas Celebration that I already have. There is a difference, but similar. I love reds so I just had to see it. I was needing to add to my 5,000 page want list.I will add this one but not at the top. Thanks for the information on a new red, I'm also on the look for more new reds so keep the info coming!!!

This is a GREAT thread!!!

Blessing, Mona

I agree with you guys, this is a great thread! I spent almost my whole breaktime looking and now I have to chime in and leave, lol:)

My answer to the question is: Anything that will bloom late July-early August! I don't care if it is a plain jane yellow!

I was drooling all over my keyboard looking at these pictures, thank you very much, mamasllamas!

I purchased most of the ones I wanted off the LA 2011. There are a few patterned Carpenters I want still and I need Victorian Gardens Heavens Applause yet. But other than that, I'm good- Until Norris puts his 2012's up. I'm excited about a red he's releasing.
