A no ID I have had for years.

Off Beat. New from Maryotts this year.

My old Wilds Daylilies I have had for 25 years.

Spellbinder

One of the last of Wineberry Candy

FFO on Winning Note. Another new this year from Maryotts. I really like this flower, such a lovely soft color but still very attention getting.

Lovely China Bride.

Rocket City. This time a normal flower, not like the poly I had last time.

Gift From Heaven. FFO. Another new one from Maryotts. I don't think it looks that much like the picture on the website.

My second or third flower from Hearts of Fire. Also very new from Maryotts this year.

Classic Edge. Got these from Marietta Gardens earlier this year. This is another one that I really, really like. Lovely flower. Its got teeth!

Not a daylily but I couldn't resist. Here is a view of my patio taken from up top looking down. The table there is were I unpack my daylily plants from their shipping boxes.

Sort by:Oldest

Shelly, it is your fault if I short out my computer from drooling! Wow, you have some absolutely gorgeous daylilies. Kansas Kitten is a new one to me, but to me it had perfect form and a satiny texture on the petals. Love its shape. I have never seen Portofino, but love the edge and color. I recognized Wild Irish right away. From the several pictures posted here, it seems to be quite consistent in its performance. Please keep posting your pictures - I enjoy them so much. Ann

Hey Shelly, my vote goes to KW also. I didn't see a pic of VL. That is a beauty here. Today was the last of Blissful Blackberry Pie and she finally came right. I am saving my pics until this fall since I have so many and am trying to get them up loaded to photo bucket. I am sorting through them and seperating the doubles. Wow!! What a chore. All your pics are lovely, no matter what the neighbors think...Ellie

Greetings is an awesome rose. It never stops flowering. The buds on it are absolutely unbelievable, there are so many. I only have 2 flowers open on it so far but will be sure to take pictures when more open. As far as I can see J&P offered Greetings for one year, which is when I got it and then it was gone. Replaced by GOOD N PLENTY, which I didn't feel I wanted. Royal Wedding is also a J&P rose, one of their versions of english style roses like their Golden Zest. LOUISE CLEMENTS is one of the John Clements intros from Heirloom Roses as is MEMORIES. Cool here too but it hasn't bothered the roses, going to be a great spring flush.

Nice.. GFH will probably take a little time to settle in. I was initially disappointed in some new ones but on their rebloom, they were just as they were supposed to be. It's still a pretty flower but will get better..They all do...Ellie

I got OFF BEAT as a bonus from Mariotts and never planted it. I was considering giving it away or throwing it away - until I saw your pic. It looks much better than I thought - better start babying it tomorrow and finding a place to plant it. LOL Your photo of CLASSIC EDGE is wonderful! I don't think mine has ever looked that pretty. SPELLBINDER still has the power to command attention. Thanks for sharing your blooms and the patio pic!

What a nice selection of DLs.

I still do not have Spellbinder, and I finally got China Bride but it does not look real promising.

Because you took the last photo from 'on high' it looks like it is a child's secret place to have a tea party. Neat.

Thanks for sharing. Jane

Love your cozy patio. Looks like a nice private get-away.
Wow! Your Rocket City is so much more gold than mine!
Love Classic Edge!

Thanks for sharing!

My patio gets a lot of use because in the summer its my main living room! I sit out there, cook out there and of course, sort my daylily shipments out there. Plus the view of the hill in back of the patio, where you can see the zinnias and roses now, is directly off my office window so I have something really nice to look out at when I am working at my computer.

Debra, glad I could inspire you to plant Off Beat.

Thanks for you compliments on my picture of Classic Edge. I did do a better job with my pictures this time around than with the ones I posted of what was blooming last time. A liitle practice goes a long way! Unfortunately, I don't think I will be practicing my daylily picture skills anytime soon as there isn't anything blooming to take pictures of!!

Of my older daylilies that I had there before this springs daylily craze hit, Rocket City is my favorite.

I can't believe a month has gone by since this posting. At that time, daylily season was winding down for me. Since then a bloom here and there on my new daylilies but nothing in any numbers. What a difference a month makes in daylily season as nothing now. I hope next year I do get more bloom time. I sure should have more blooms with all I have added this year.
