Hi Nancy,

your list makes me realize just how restricted we over over choice of daylilies here in the UK! I'm afraid I am not familiar with any of these, the Rhodalite Prism sounds especially scrumptious.

Unfortunately a lot of suppliers in the States don't ship to the UK, with the exception of the Lambertsons, and my wish list of THEIR daylilies gets longer by the day :o)

Nikki

Nancy are you wanting to use Tet. RUFFLED MASTERPIECE to hybridize or just admire?

Brooke

Soul on Fire (Emmerich)
North Wind Moe (Schaben)
Small World Matthew (Miller)
Cerise Masterpiece (Stamile)
Shining Like the Sun (Korth)

I will think of another 5 later.

Edward

Here's my 10 (although the list could change by tomorrow):

CATASTROPHE WAITRESS (Hanson)
ARCTIC LACE (Stamile)
SELF-DETERMINATION (Hanson)
SUNRISE SUNSET BEAUTIFUL (Carpenter)
ETOSHA FLAME (Munson)
ANATOMY OF CHANGE (Hanson)
JAMIE DOCKERY (Rice)
SPICE TRADE (Santa Lucia)
SUNSET EXTRAVAGANZA (Carpenter)
CHINESE SCRIBE (Munson)

Because I am completely out of space, I no longer have 10 on my wish list. I only have five.

Larry's Obsession (Petit)
Wild At Heart (Salter)
Awesome Applique (Lambertson)
Cerulean Warbler (Lambertson)
Mee Ying (Rice)

Debra

What dreams are made of.

Kay

Brooke, I'm not really sure. See, I had ordered it as a diploid, but they were sold out. That made me want it even more. It was then I discovered it has also been converted, so naturally, I want that, too. Probably to hybridize. Like so many others, I joined Daylilies Anonymous this summer when I discovered I could pollinate these flowers, and got even further addicted when the seeds actually sprouted and started growing.

Edward, I am not familiar with any of those. Are they dormants? If so, I just sigh over them and move on to the next EV or Sev. I'd love Shores of Time, but I don't think it would live long down here in this August blast furnace.

Y'all are just blowing away my mind, here, I haven't heard of a lot of these. Now, I'm going to have to look everyone of them up to see if I am missing out on something.

Ah, Kay, you want Parrot Jungle too! Birds of a feather! How about BIRD TALK? I forgot that one when I was making up my list. And you want Apache War Feather? I had that on the list, but took it off and replaced it at the last second with Tet Ruffled Masterpiece!

How's your list coming, lefox?

Ciao,

Nancy

Some of these I can get next spring but most are more than I'm willing to pay not to mention I think DH would have a heart attack if I paid more then 20 bucks :(
I'm saving up my pennies to have some of these :)
LORD OF RICHES........ Going to get
MOKAN BUTTERFLY...... Want
WATER DRAGON .......Going to get
SARAH HAWES......wish
BLUE RIDGE BUTTERFLY......wish
BIG SUR....Going to get
STENCILED IMPRESSIONS....wish
JAZZ AFTER FIVE........wish
DRAGON PINATA .......wish
JAMES CLARK ......Going to get

Michelle your better off not looking up some of these cause I know they'd go on your want list too. We need a farm and deeper pockets y'all

Nikki,

Maybe you could join with others and form a buyers' group. I'm surprised that there aren't many daylilies there....your country is so famous for beautiful gardens. What about seeds? Can you get those in the mail without a problem?

Betsy -- I didn't get your e-mail. Would you please resend it?

Hehehe Mike and Barb, I'm going to get those on my list, but I can't say how many years it will be! I got Mokan Butterfly this summer, but won't see it bloom until next year.

See, I have this thing all mapped out. I figure if my hubby and kids will all give me DLs, gift certificates or money for Christmas, B-day, Valentine's Day and Mother's Day for a couple of years, that should help. If they will only cooperate now.....I shall be delighted to forego all other material gifts.

BTW -- Wisest of Wizards is blooming right now in my garden. Photographs don't do this exquisite daylily justice. That is one fine, classy blossom. I am freezing all its pollen for spring.

here goes the first two

Bass Gibson

Caesar Augustus (Seedling, not yet intro by Reilly)

fairysoapgirl , I'll save some Dr.Julius Charba for you --it's really taken off here in the redwoods----one of the first I got---
now back to find 8 more------co

not easy when you want them all!! chicken fat,frufru,spider bagel donut --

All the ones on my list are dormant except Cerise Materpiece which is an evergreen.

Edward

Nancy- Sent again.If you don't get it send me a blank one and I'll reply. okbt@aol.com

Betsy

Barb - Dang! Too Late... you are right!

I like WATER DRAGON, BLUE RIDGE BUTTERFLY, SARAH HAWES...I like that CLOWN PARADE too! JAZZ AFTER FIVE - what an edge! I am supposed to be getting MOKAN BUTTERFLY in the Spring as a replacement from Marietta's - so if you can hold out until for a while until it increases, I am sure a fan or two will come your way.

Oh Cole... don't tease me! :o) If you're not careful, I will drive myself up there and find your garden!! Mendo is not so big... Mmmm... speakin of which... have a yummy breakfast treat from the Moody's for me would you? Geesh, I miss that place... (Mendo, not Moody's - ok well them too!) Oh, speaking of food, you know about the local's special at Mooses right? Now, I KNOW you want Rachel Lambertson... You're a blue fool like ME! Do you like minis? Maybe I could trade you some LITTLE BLUE BELL, OR BLUE ELF? CATNAP BLUE (IT IS A MONSTER @ 42")?

Hi Ed,
I was looking up your most wanted, and I found PURIFY MY HEART. Wow... what a beauty! I love that pink eye, pink edge look. Maybe it is going to replace one on my list!! Although I am not sure how well it would do here in Texas. I also noticed that the cv you want is 'Shining Like the Son' - I couldn't find it with the spelling of SUN.

RAINRAINRAIN!!! it's here early this year!!!!
Hey Fairysoapgirl! I can learn to like minis!!!!!
Mendo sends a big HEY!!!! how about our great thanksgiving coffee! not to mention all the new hot spots from Hopland to leggett!!!
We sure have come a long way---all the road work on US 101 it's easier to get to the old Hogg farm and visit with wavey gravie. Even with all the old dead heads! Jerry's wife is a neighbor----

Debra I'm with you on Rice- Mee Ying
cole

Geez Lefox -- I'm right with you. I love 'em all -- ruffles, no ruffles, pales, brights, muted colors, eyes, shark's teeth, spiders and ufos. I refuse to use the term "chicken fat" to describe these lovely flowers. LOL

There is one ancient and dormant bonus called Northfield in my garden that I don't care for. It bloomed and hung its yellow, cowardly face down to the ground, like a real lily. Since it wouldn't look at me, I decided I didn't like it. I haven't reached the point of being able to dispose of it, though.

It's great to hear from all of you as to what your utmost daylily desires are -- I may have to revise my top ten list!

These are the ones I want and really hope toget next year!!

Ruffles Forever
Ruffles Ah GO GO
Ode To Faith
Gracie Buttercup
Grace, Peace & Love
Paul Voth
Perfect Pink Princess
Spacecoast Krinkles
Spacecoast Tiny Perfection
Big Smile

Oops, that was supposed to be Shining Like the Son. Purify My Heart has alot going for it but I like the one seedling from it better. 284-2, the one on the right.

Hiya Najoba,

yes a buyers' group could well be the answer. Luckily I can get Lambertsons daylilies and they are reserving some for me until spring.

I have got some nice daylilies from here in the UK, namely Wisest of Wizards, Mokan Butterfly, Sea Siren,Blueberry Candy and Druids Chant amongst others, all of which are new this year, but we have nowhere near your range.

I must admit I hadn't considered seeds.

Nikki

Oh yes oh yes Ed... that seedling is a beauty too... more of an intense magenta... I'd take either one... The white is so clean too... just lovely.

Boy, it's hard to pick just ten but here goes. Dragon Emperor/Slipstream/Days of Magic are three Polston 2007's I would really like. Shores of Time/Last Snowflake/and First Twilight are three Stamiles I would love. Celestial Army/August Wedding/and Shining Like The Sun are three Korth plants I like very much. Finally, Heavenly Mansions is a Carpenter I think is just perfect....cheers, lloyd [some wonderful plants you all have picked]....

This is completely off DLs, but I was looking up the Polston DL's listed by bluenosens and OMG... look at their babies - CLYDESDALES!!!

I wrote this post earlier and it didn't post so don't be surpised if it shows up eventually. Lloyd, I may be able to help you with Shores of Time and Last Snowflake. Send me an email at edkimball@yahoo dot com. Also, while checking out your page I discovered that we have the same birthday. That was surprising.

Edward

mikeandbarb - You are right about needing a farm and deep
pockets, but, I need about 20 fewer years so I can take care of them. Oh well, the ones I have love me anyway.

Kay

Wow, I took a peek at Cerise Masterpiece. It is a real beauty! I'll have to add that to my "wait" list. (My "wish" list is different from my "wait" list.) The "wait" list is a much higher priority....waiting for enough money to buy it. LOL

I'm with Debra. I'm really out of space right now. But here's 10 that I'd like to have anyway - just don't mention it to my DH. Many are older varieties that I just can't seem to get from the growers I've ordered from:

Antique Rose
Borders On Pink
Chicago Candy Cane
Christopher Russell
Comic Strip
Georgia O'Keefe
Heavenly Angel Ice
Iron Eyes
Rainbow Over Georgia
Hold Your Horses.

I have seen both Heavenly Angel Ice and Hold Your Horses In Person. Both are just beautiful daylilies. HAI is very white and has the prettiest ruffles on a UFO that you've ever seen. Hold Your Horses is just plain awesome. The flower is huge, and held up high on the plant. It's a plant that you notice from a distance, and you have to walk over to it to take a closer look. Hopefully my hybridizer friends who are growing both plants will get some good increase and I will be able to add both plants to my garden next spring!

Linda

Michelle, I want a farm just like that. You know it must be heaven to live on a place like that.

Wedding Gown
Sonoma
Peppermint Somersault
Pacific Moon
Leaping Lizards
Jacquelyn Kennedy Onassis
Cherry Chapeau
Longlesson Showoff (if it really is that color)
Purple-Eyed Dragonfly
Raspberries in Cream

This covers about 5% of my wanted file.

I've been drooling over Purple-Eyed Dragonfly myself!

Nancy
