Trip to Lasting Dreams Daylilies, Photos

12 years ago

Hi All,

Last Sunday, I took a trip out to visit a fellow BADS (Buffalo Area Daylily Society) member, Carol Haj at her daylily nursery. If any of you are going to or at the Nationals, she will be there. Make sure to say hi to her. She's super nice.

It was a beautiful sunny day, and I ended up taking a lot of pics! So this is just a sample, there's a whole bunch to check out on the link below. I know some of you like to look at lots of pics : )

My Visit to Florida Daylily Gardens (photos)

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

Oh wow, Debra! So many beauties, how on earth do you expect me to pick just one. I keep looking from one to the other, and I lreally like so many of them. Insider Trading or Stealth Bomber. Once Upon a Dream is beautiful and I have a fondness for the coral ones with fancy edges. God Save the Queen and Westbourne's Little Lamb. I can't do it. I like too many of them kay

Wonderful pictures, Debra! I was there on Friday afternoon...in between rain showers! I just loved loved loved being in the greenhouse! Everything looked so grand...and like the pictures! I'm still getting used to my camera (my excuse) and/or maybe I need to change the lens as I had trouble getting tags on some...boohoo. At any rate, I did get a fair amount okay...including Lotus Position and Trifecta...I'll get around to putting it all up on my blog one of these days! Wish I could have gotten to some of the other places, but we were just flying by. I did get to Valley of the Daylilies on Sat., however. So many pictures, so little time...

Nice looking squirrel, you must be feeding him good :) Wonderful pic of Choral Fantasy, love that color. My Shores of Time seems to have disappeared. I remember moving it last year, it didn't bloom this year & I don't think I have a plant that didn't bloom. Still, it is apt to turn up somewhere nest year. I hope so, it is really pretty.

Did you take all the pics on the link? There are a lot of nice ones there. Bart Roberts, for one, caught my eye, as well as some of the seedlings. I'm surprised that some of these thrive that far north--ones such as Can You See Me and Strawberry Lace (which did nothing here). There is no substitute for seeing things in a garden in your area.

Beautiful flowers! I always want to visit a daylily garden, & there are at least a couple in KY. One of these days I'm gonna do it. I got invitations to a couple who were having open gardens this year, but I thought it seemed late to be going this year. My daylilies have really faded, mostly reblooms going now.

Glad Everyone is enjoying them!

Kay,
Red Hot Boom was really pretty in person. All of Nicole Harry's were. Carol and I even discussed her since I was surprised to see daylilies from Florida doing so well.

Mantis,
Yes, I took all the pics. I could of taken even more!
The discussion about Nicole Harry and hardiness included a couple ideas. One, Carol dips all of her daylilies in s solution (I can't remember off the top of my head.) It seems that daylilies are often harboring a disease (can't remember name!) that causes the tops to die off sort of like a failure to thrive. She first heard about it when there was trip to daylily place in a warmer location, and many of the attendees daylilies that they brought home were croaking. A mass death was occurring. So it seems that the disease sort of lurks where warmer, but in colder areas it kills them. A couple very well known hybridizers were the ones who knew what was happening and suggested the dip.
Two, the snow blanket that occurs around here in winter is a good insulator and protects them.

ngraham,
You really should go! It is amazing to see so many varieties. This weeknd, a couple friends and I are going to Cottage Garden Daylilies, we make a trip of it every year.
I really feel lucky to have such great daylily places around here.
