Marvelous "M" daylilies, let's see them!
It's time for the M daylilies and I actually have a couple! Thanks for the good wishes, my eye is doing better.
This post is my Midnight Masquerade. This had 2 reblooms for me this past season. Unfortunately the last scape was a victim of below normal temperatures.

Comments (10)Howdy! Thanks, Mike! It's been back up in the low 90F's this week, and today the humidity is higher (due to some light rains and high Sierra storms earlier this week). No relief! I finished up a side-project for a neighbor this morning...and boy am I glad to be done calling gravel...for a while at least ;-) Rebecca, I see that little sprout emerging right at the point where the larger branch is growing. In this case, I would rub off that sprout *because* it is growing from the same general point on the trunk. I would encourage new sprouts, if they should appear, to grow at different heights and sides of the tree for a full, even distribution of foliage up and down the trunk. Normally, I would say just let the whole thing shag out, but if you let the branches get too big, it may make for an ugly cut once you choose to remove it. Hey, John! Although the oak leaves are falling, it sure feels like Winter's a long way off. In November, I'll start getting ready...but I am certainly thinking about how I'm going to keep my cold-frame warmer during bloom-time in late Winter.

Comments (49)Cindy, Thanks for the compliment! Yes, that is pea gravel. I had such a hard time with that area of my yard. It gets full sun all day and couldnt grow anything but weeds, even the daylilies didnt like it. I put in the landscape stones and added the pea gravel. The stones seem to keep the moisture content higher in the area and the plants around it do better. Sherry...See MoreLet's see the NURTURED "N" daylilies

Comments (147)This should help. What Laura shared with me.. Laura LaRosa Thank you guys. Cory, I hope all of yours come out soon. I think after this cold snap, we will be good to go. It only got to 47 here, so I did not move anyone inside. I watered thoroughly tonight and will probably fertilize tomorrow or the day after. Mike, I have been alternating between FP and Peters, when I run out of FP, I will just stick with Peters. I have a huge bag of it lol! I do use vinegar but may try to go without it a bit and see what happens. Mike, here is a link for the lights: Philips 433557 23W 100-watt T2 Twister 6500K CFL Light Bulb, 4-Pack https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00M6SR1JM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_bNrezbCC5RFKH I put them as close as I can without burning the trees even though I had a few scorched leaves on a few. The trees really responded incredibly well to them. I would say the growth was not as perfect as when outdoors, but not too bad - not terribly lanky. I don't know how many you will need. I started with like 15 and little by little added more until I was satisfied they were all getting enough light. The Ikea lights are very basic, but they work and are cheap. Take down was a bit of a pain, but not terrible. I removed the bulbs and stored them in a plastic bin, then just shoved the lamps into a crawlspace. I can tell you that watering them was like a yoga workout...I ended up in a sweat! In my case, I just had so many that I could hardly reach some of them without some serious stretching. You are in good shape though, so you will manage ;-). I also think the lights will help you with any seasonal effects that may bring you down. I sat in my sunroom every morning and night and was very happy in there in spite of almost needing sunglasses! Brian, you are the king of gorgeous trees. I would love it if you would share some of your awesome trees. I could never let mine get that big and overwinter them in my house. Hobby, I hope you can get yours out soon (you too Brian). Oh and Mike, no Alexander does not defoliate that badly every year (never has that badly). I think it was the mites and the treatments for mites that did him in. I was a little worried, but he is bouncing back nicely. Amanda...yes, BRIGHT! I was afraid I would get sunburned in there!...See More

9 years agoMonarch's Throne was a bonus plant. I was not sure about keeping it but my husband loves it. It's everything he likes--orange (although it is a soft orange), large, flat and tall. It is a very vigorous plant but it's not fancy enough for me.

9 years agoNan, that Monarch's throne reminds me of Papal Court. I, like you, decided it wasn't fancy enough and it was going. Bless goodness, I scared it to death and it showed out like a debutant. I want get rid of it now because all the blooms make up for the relative plainess...I will try and post it for you on a "P" day and see what you think.. Like you, I love the color of Mem's Garden Party.
Nancy, love the color of Motown Blues. so Pretty.
Cindy, Mask and Metaphor is my pick of yours.
Sherry, I have always liked Midnight Masquerade, and finally got it last year. Love it, it is a beautiful bloom.For Ms Start with Mabou:

Mary's Baby:
{{gwi:2124009}}
Mulberry Marvel: One of the few simple ones in my garden, but it isn't going anywhere...it blooms very well, and I like the way it looks in a clump:
Magical Mystery Show: I've had for several years, but it was in a terrible place until last year, and it is doing really well now:
{{gwi:2124010}}Man of Sorrows: You can't go wrong with it. Karol Emmerich intro that is a wonderful bloomer even here in zone 8.
I love free bloomng reds, and the Munson Midici Palace is all that:

9 years agoAnd four more. Milano Crimson Tide is a great, late season velvety red. Manhattan Project is fairly new to me. It blooms ok but the wind can tear the blooms apart. The jury is still out..
I think the next one is Metaphor; I got it unnamed. It is erratic from year to year on how well it blooms.
And lastly Miss Jessie, a real oldie [1956]. Fairly average but nice in a clump.
