Hemerocallis, daylily, latin names needed pls

12 years ago

Hello!

Please would you help me. A garden centre I visited in the UK stocks the following types of Hemerocallis (aka Daylilies): Corky, Buzz Bomb, Black Magic, Bonanza, Frans Hals and Happy Returns. Do these also have latin names and if so does anyone know them? I'd like to find out if they match any of the Hemerocallis' listed on the 'Plants for a Future' website.

Regards,

Jonathan

These are not different types of Hemerocallis. They are all hybrids, so they don't have another Latin name. All the plants listed on the Plants for a Future website are different species of Hemerocallis.

The correct Latin names of those you list would be Hemerocallis 'Corky', Hemerocallis 'Buzz Bomb', Hemerocallis 'Black Magic', etc., according to the Plant Finder.

There's a lot of information on the Wikipedia page below.

Here is a link that might be useful: Wikipedia info on Daylily

I have so many bird feeders. I'll have to check and see what I can find that is in good shape and take some pictures for you. We probably have some bird houses too are you interested in those? It's getting late so I'll look up the daylilies that I don't know in the morning, but for sure I'm interested in Sabine Baur, Ribbon Candy, Baby Blues, Magic Carpet Ride, Dewberry Candy. I'll send this to your e'mail too, Thanks, Catrina

You are correct dheppel about the 20 seedlings being named different names. The hybridizer can call them what ever he wants when he registers them as long as the names follow the American Hemerocallis Society rules(such things as number of letters and so on). Some daylily breeders do use a "prefix" as the first word of the name, such as all of the Pauline Henry daylilies had the prefix Siloam at the start. But this isn't a requirement. I live in Canada and we have purebred registered holsteins. All breeders must have a prefix and this must be the first word of the cow name. I agree that daylily naming seems kind of random to me. The breeders that use a prefix to me are getting extra advertising because you can always tell who bred them. But there is no rule to say that someone else can't use the prefix you use as the first word of a name they pick as well. For example James Gossard uses Heavenly as the first word of many of his daylilies but there are many daylilies that are already "Heavenly something" bred by other breeders. It is very confusing but I guess that's the way it's been for the whole time and no one has seen a reason to change it.

Sharon when my Vivaces order came I was so excited I coluldn't wait to get home to soak then plant them. The fans and roots of mine were huge Absolutely Hunner, some of my new DLÂs had 4 fans to them. I soaked them in the sink overnight and they were all planted this morning and what a perfect day to plant, 20Â°C with rain forecasted for the weekend. Whoohooo! It sure is exciting, now I canÂt wait for my Cedar Ridge order to arrive. And my wish list for next year is incredibly long! ;) Sharon
