Let's see some IDEAL "I" daylilies
Only one I for me. Itza Pink Teddy, I received it as a bonus with an order last season. Will just have to wait and see how it does this summer. The color was more pink than the photo shows.

8 years agoThat is a nice one. I've heard of it before and will be interested in how it does for you next year.........My contribution is one from a daylily show I attended. I haven't seen it mentioned before and although I'm not a huge fan of reds it was pretty enough to draw my attention that day. Nice form on it and saturated color.........Maryl
IT IS FINISHED

Comments (15)I have more O's than I though I did. I will have to put these in two entries. Ocean Depths was new last year and here it is still in a pot. It is a diploid, which we don't grow many of, but this is a club plant we are babysitting for 3 years. Oceans Eleven is a small flower and the scapes are short, but it outdid itself last summer. Off to the Races has gotten covered in weeds so it hasn't been able to show its true potential. The first couple of years I was ready to dig up and throw away Oktoberfest, but in its third season it really began to perform. Old Time Memories has a large bright flower. On the Lookout is a small flowered variety that is registered as cream with a rose red eye. I don't call that eye rose red. On Your Knees You Will Find Him is a nice toothy variety, but it won't set seeds for me. We lost Open My Eyes, but I don't know if it was the weather or voles. We decided not to replace it because it is so short. We decided that Sam Abell is similar in color, but a better plant. We just planted Orange Blossom Trail last summer. This picture was taken in Florida. Bob came back with a long list of orange daylilies he wanted to try after visiting Dan Trimmer's place. Orange Firecat has a large flat bloom. It produced many proliferations last year. I hope they all make it through the winter. I have a couple more to post. Nancy...See MoreLet's see favorite spiders and UF daylilies!
Comments (37)Celeste , I am guessing it is the extreme harsh conditions I am growing in. Although according to the "powers that be" that say I am growing in a zone 6a , the soil is what is known as Appin Blue Clay. Any amendments I have added seem to get swallowed up by the clay and I am guessing about 2 feet down is a really nice layer of composted rich earth.......my plants just dont get to access it . Couple that with bitter harsh winds that blow across the farmers fields and over my property here ( very little tree protection) during the winter, frost heaving in the thaws during January and February , extensive droughts that last from ( this year alone) May to October and spring flooding that sits on top of the grounds for weeks at a time , plants need to be made of tough stuff to survive here ....See Moremantis__oh
8 years agolast modified: 8 years agoIce Cream Emperor --shorter plant with even shorter scapes after these cold winters
Imperial Impression --an older Salter that grows well and has color worth keeping
Indy Long Legs --I like this colorful dip. One seldom hears of Anderson cultivars anymore.
Indy Floppy Mama has a name that matches its scapes.
In the Heart of It All --good plant, reblooms, color that holds quite well. Just wish the flowers looked at you instead of the sky. This bloom was second rebloom on August 18; first flower was June 22.
Indian Ripple --very colorful in the garden and grows vigorously. Photographs a bit better than reality.
I don't have a good picture of Imperial Lemon, but it is a fine yellow.
Islesworth
Still have Indian Giver around.
Intimate Secrets I deleted. Didn't like the low growth habit and low bud count. There are only so many front-row seats available.

8 years agoI See Stars needs a better picture. Not sure of its merit.
Ida's Magic is no longer around. Could be nice, but too frequent spotchiness.
I guess I still have a piece of Indigo Moon. What can I say--it's an "i." (Tends towards tenderness.)

8 years agoI forgot In My Pink High Heels. A very nice earlier one that always has nicely spaced flowers.
Celeste, does Isabelle Rose have sturdy stems for you?While soil PH may indeed be a factor in your purplish flowers, you should also be alert to what cameras can do in low light. I notice in your Itza Pink photo that the leaves are a bit bluish also and it is obviously very overcast (probably early morning). Here is a picture of Absolute Treasure I took in early morning. While this cultivar has some lavender overtones (as does Itza Pink in some other photos), the camera distorted the color. It also made a neighboring light yellow daylily to appear white.
Here is Absolute Treasure in more light:

8 years agolast modified: 8 years agoSo many wonderful I's. I love my Indian Ripple and your picture Mantis of it is pretty much how mine looks. My picture was taken around two in the PM with temperatures hovering in the high 80's after an unexpected shower. It bloomed beyond my expectations this year, with a couple blooms even in November........Maryl

Yes, Ida Mae Norris is very nice.
Some don't care for the color of Inca Apothecary.
Inca Prince has had stunted scapes here, but I think it has done better for Julia.

8 years agoI like the form and soft coloring of Ida Mae Norris. I also like Indian Ripple. I actually like the color of Inca Apothecary. Mantis, you are correct that the photo of IPT was taken in the a.m. so it shows up more purple than reality; however, even in full sunlight viewing it in the garden, it tends toward lavender here. Definitely not pink. Which is weird to me since my pinks tend to be very pink. I don't mind that it's lavender, btw....but I feel I should rename it...lol. Isabelle Rose has sturdy stems, yes. It's planted in full sunlight. I found another 'I' to add.

Ima Bigtimer. This was amazing in person. The colors are so saturated. We are going to have to try this one.
Irish Bow
Irish Royalty
The rest are from our garden. Interview with a Vampire has gotten established and gave us tons of blooms and seeds last summer.
Impressionist Sky is an early bloomer in our garden.
Here's our Itza Pink Teddy. It was just planted last spring so the color may be off, but it was definitely a shade of pink.

8 years agoWow, lots of nice I's.
Impetuous Fire. Nice flower, average amount of blooms.
Impetuosity Has good and bad years. None of my pictures does it justice.
Indian Giver. Does well most years. Very nice
Indy Phantom. Average bloomer most years.
Islesworth. It was sent by mistake but I've really enjoyed it. Average bloomer
Isolde. Took 3 years to get going, but does very well. I need a better picture of it.

8 years agoIt Is Finished is a lovely red, and Isle of Patmos is a standout. Indian Ripple looks bright and beautiful no matter where it's grown. I had that one in a pot for several years, but last year it didn't bloom. It definitely deserves some garden space. Here are some of mine.

Ice Cream Emperor does have short scapes, but the flower has such a beautiful form that I love it. Most years it reblooms well here.
