Well Hello, and welcome to the forum. A slight warning might be needed, but you may already be aware that daylilies are addictive.

This is a friendly and informative forum and we do post pictures here. Again, welcome.

We love pictures her LOL! Welcome and I know you can learn a lot about daylilies here.

Welcome! I may have to consult with you then sometime on conifers. I think my garden needs more "substance" for year round interest. Sure don't need another addiction, though, already have it for daylilies & bearded iris. This is my very favorite forum I have to check out daily, I'm sure you will like it too.

Welcome, welcome. I second Nagraham's interest in your knowledge of evergreens in a garden setting. Pictures please.That's the great thing about all the generous sharing here, it keeps things exciting.

Thanks all..I am quite new to conifers this year but have obtained many nice specimans to date.

Here are some of my favs I planted this year. Some are already in the ground and designed in a bed but haven't gotten updated pics.

If you see something you like I can tell you the name. For the sake of time I didn't write in all the latin names.

Below is a link to a photo album that has many speciman pictures as well as big picture design images. He visits the conifer forum quite often with many pics. There are a few others there that are quite knowlegable and offer speciman pics but I think this guy is one of the best from a design perspective (color, height, texture and shape contrast).

Feel free to browse the album. It may take awhile to load since I have it set up so you can see all the images as icons (easier to browse).

Here is a link that might be useful: Conifer Pics

Welcome to the forum...and WOW! I took a few minutes to look at your album, nothing short of beautiful! Nice work!

I checked out the album too, fantastic things I've never seen around here. I really like #1 with the red tips, & ones with white tips on #4 & 5.

Wow, I never liked conifers until now. Your gardens are gorgeous. Welcome to the forum! Now I am thinking of adding some conifers to my beds if I can fit them in somewhere. They really add alot of interest to your gorgeous landscaping. Enjoy what is about to be an addiction to daylilies. Everyone on here post such beautiful pics that makes me want to order more and more. haha!! Like I need a reason! I haven't posted any pics this year because I don't keep up with their names but I may end up posting a few later. Anxious to see how you incorporate daylilies into your landscape. Take care, Judy

Well, you do indeed know about addictions already...and how lovely your phots are. I also looked at the album. Beautiful and very different from what I would see here. I especially liked your nubers 8 and 11.

Thanks folks! Sorry I might have been misleading. The link to the photo album is from a fellow conifer gardener. I wanted to show his album as he does a superb job of intermixing conifers. He is in KC.

All the photos in this post are mine though!lol!.

#1 = Thuja occidentalis 'Congabe' aka Fire Chief.

#4 = Chamaecyparis pisifera 'Snow'

#5 = Tsuga canadensis 'Moon Frost'

#8 = Picea pungens 'Fat Albert'

#11 = Picea orientalis 'Atrovirens'

What I now love about conifers is that that there is SO much out. Different sizes, shapes, weeping, swaying, climbing, arrows, texture, color and the list goes on.

Its almost as if they are blooming in May and June when they push new growth plus you get color all year! There are even some that turn gold during the winter months.

I'll be sure to post pics as the landscape evolves.

Purples, whites, reds and pale yellows will likely be choice color daylilies when mixing them in. Lime Frost will be the first to go in in the next couple weeks.

Oh my, those are beautiful gardens and more beautiful conifers! Your gardens look like pictures out of a Christmas story book! Love the pics you popsted. Am interested in all of them but especially like 4, 15 and 17 Can you ID them please? I feel a new addiction coming on!. :)

#15 = Picea pungens 'Glauca Globosa' sometimes also called 'Globosa'.

#17 = Picea glauca 'Daisy's White'

OOOOhhhh! I was just looking longingly at tiny fuzzy blue guy #15)
I like how many of the conifers have those paler tips. Very lovely!!
:)
And welcome :)

I,m normally just a lurker here being a regular poster on the iris and hydrangea forums but I am putting in a new conifer garden with a daylilie border this year. So I am trying to learn a little about both. I put in a new iris bed as well(the old one was a little to shaded) and as soon as its a little cooler I am going to get my 30 plus hydrangeas tucked into thier new bed under some large conifers I already have. I haven,t caught daylilie or conifer fever yet but could see that happening. I get awefully excited when one blooms. I have been a little overwelmed by the size of the daylily boarder I,m puting in and 70 plus i purchased a few years ago haven,t increased at all for me so it left a bad feeling about daylilys. I was lurking around here yesterday and saw that everyone is fertilizing them to get them to increase. Dah! I was going by my old garden book that says they don,t like fert. no wonder they aren,t increasing.

Seems like they like a good rain too. I recall watering them regularly during dry periods during bloom and it didn't do much. As soon we got a good rain they would start bursting with new buds and blooms!

CTC, sorry that photo was a little out of focus, lol.

Hello whaas, Fat Albert must be quite popular this year. I have been to every nursery between Portsmouth and Portland Maine only to find they are 'sold out'. Today in my travels I happened upon a beautiful 3 ft. Baby Blue Spruce and ended up purchasing it and holding off until next year for FA.
