Trip to Cottage Gardens Daylilies, Photos

11 years ago

Hi All,

Yes, I went to another daylily nursery. This one I got to every year with a couple friends. It is an amazing place, so many daylilies! The sale booklet to use while perusing the daylilies lists over 3000 cultivars for sale.

What a treat for you and the Garden Web! You have highlighted in your post many of those I found most appealing. Do note that Madge Cayse is mislabeled; the lily pictured isn't Madge (the sign must have been referring to something else).

mary lu- Love the pictures of your daylily beds. I love it when people show a garden overview not just the closeps as I really like to see how everyones gardens look. mmqch- I have to agree, your gardens are stunning. Again love the overview so I can see how you have used daylilies in your garden. Nell- I love daylilies in fact I have about 400 of them and thats a lot considering all the other plants I also have in the garden. You can't beat daylilies for summer color. While many of us on the daylily forum are into the newer varieties (after all, it is the daylily forum, what can you expect?) most of us appreciate the older ones as well. Heck, most of us have many older ones, some of us have almost all older ones. I always say that the price of a daylily does not reflect its beauty. To add to what dani plus 2 said about buying under $40.00 daylilies. To me that would be an inexpensive daylily but not everyone even wants to spent that much. There are many daylilies for $10-15 or even under. I hope price never stops anyone from adding daylilies to their garden. Don't get discouraged by the wopping prices on new intros. Those prices never last anyway and many times those intros dissappear into obscurity themselves in a few years. The oldies but goodies have passed the test of time and I think most will always be around. If I had unlimited room I would have lots and lots of older ones as well as the newest. But since my room is limited I choose to add newer things because they appeal to me. Still, I just don't buy the pricey southern bred because they often don't do well for me and I buy from my favorite northern hybridizers. As to how I personally do daylilies I have them in their own beds and I have them mixed in with other things growing here. They look great both ways.

Thanks for your comments! It's great to be able to share my photos with people who are interested in them! Ellie - I agree with you that Grace Stamile's daylilies were the bluest I've seen and I also like that Reilly seedling! Here's a link to my photos from Ladybug Daylilies. Dan Hansen's garden was even bigger than the Stamiles'. He also grows corn and huge zucchinis. He tries to avoid using insecticides - thats why a lot of photos have bugs in them. He said they are called lovebugs. (There were thousands of them while we were in Florida and they ended up coating our windshield whenever we drove on the highway.) He has five very friendly cats to help control pests around the garden. He also has a lot of older, cheaper daylilies for sale, many of them are Ra Hansen's (his mother). He also has big collections of daylilies from Curt Hanson, Ned Roberts and the Salters. He is working a lot with edge no eye daylilies. He said that his best ones have no hint of an eye, even in cold weather. They were gorgeous! Juliet Here is a link that might be useful: Ladybug Daylilies

Hey Remy! It was great meeting you too! Linda's a good friend and it's been interesting to watch them transform that property. FYI ... the house was a plain old white "farmhouse" that her husband Joe had covered with stone ... an amazing transformation. PS: She got flea meds for both dogs and was able to watch one of the fox pups eat the mange meds. LOL, I'm getting nightly updates. Now you need to join us for the BADS meeting/picnic ...

Thanks for the photo album. I see many interesting spiders and especially like Smoke Scream here. Also Raspberry Sickle, Purple Many Faces, Sweet Charlotte, and of course, Firestorm.

Rita,
You would love visiting all the daylily places out this way.

Mantis,
Thank you, I fixed the pic. The tag to the right in the pic was probably the correct one. Unfortunately the leaves are covering most of it.

Jason and Rena,
Thanks, it is hard to decide what to bring home while there, but Mozambique Nights really stood out. I always bring only so much cash so I have to behave myself! Of course what does Brent tell me this year, they now take CC#'s! I stuck to my budget though.
I also brought home Morticia which I did not take a pic of, but it has always looked good there when I've seen it so it came home with me. And I got a huge clump of a NOID Munson for $5 which I also didn't take a pic of, and I should of! I liked the way it looked and Brent didn't know what it was. Since he isn't selling any being unnamed, I lucked out. Nameless is ok with me :)

Brent is such a nice person and I'm sure he wishes the weather were different this year but he still has a lovely garden. Thanks for sharing.

EclecticCottage,
Yes, he has some good names. His daylilies are very pretty. I was discussing with his wife nad my friend all that goes into deciding what to keep. His seedling areas keep expanding, lol. She showed me the first seedling up in the first post in particular.
The seedling here in this post is the one Brent showed me in particular. So once it clumps up, it may be for sale. I keep telling him Remy is a nice name, LOL.

Debra,
Good to hear. I'm putting it in a spot in the front border so it is taking center stage.

Julia,
He is very nice! So is his wife. We all got to chat for awhile this time. I did ask her this time if daylilies were her favorite too, lol. She said she likes all kinds of flowers. It is definitely Brent who is the daylily addict!
