SPLENDID "S" daylilies!!!
I have photos of two S daylilies, neither is great but will post both of them. Both are new to the garden. I especially like South Sea Serenade, big, fat buds and big lovely flowers. I have another small old variety, Siloam Ethel Smith.
Just a reminder, when the alphabet is done there will be a post for noids! Can't leave them out, maybe some id's will be suggested!

S SPACECOAST daylilies only! 2018
Comments (19)Spacecoast Seashells ....... I almost lost this one last spring with the sitting water that kept freezing and thawing . Hoping to see it has recovered this spring . I also grow Spacecoast Starburst and remember being so stoked about adding this one to my gardens years ago. Many daylilies and many more moments of being excited adding new plants since then , this one still makes me happy. I added Spacecoast Sharp Tooth and Spacecoast Spice Girl last season but late in the season so really looking forward to seeing them bloom this year . The next Spacecoast I would like to add is Spacecoast Frances Busby ....See MoreS Sa - Si daylilies 2018
Comments (38)I'm always struggling to get a photo that's the most true representation of how a daylily looks to my eye. I'm not much of an early riser and early morning is the best time to get good photos. That's before they are in too much sun or possibly shade if that's the case. Too much sun washes everything out and shade often gives gorgeous photos with vivid color, but it's not what your eye will really be seeing in the garden. Because I register and sell daylilies, I try hard to give the truest image of the flower, even though I could use a prettier photo. Before buying a daylily based on one photo, look on the internet for other pictures of it and also look to see if the background colors look true to life. I don't think people enhance the photo using editing tools most of the time, but the sun/shade thing can really affect what the photo looks like and sometimes we forget (I do) what we should really be seeing and post a photo that's not quite 100% lifelike....See MoreToo many S daylilies, heres some alternative ideas
Comments (1)Sounds good Brad , I for one agree.....too many "S" daylilies ....See MoreWhat’s happening on daylily?
Comments (3)Honestly , I am not seeing anything wrong with the plant/plants in these images . Not sure where you are located but if there has been any kind of drought the old leaves will turn brown and die off from the outer bottom and move their way into the center if drought continues long enough . It is the plants way of preserving the core . Often if there has been a rain and then the hot sun returns , the rain on the tip of the leaves magnifies the strength of the sun and you get some burning of the tips . So like Shive says ........normal die back ....See More

8 years agoMantis: I like that Simple Treasures. I hope it perks up for you. Great shot of Swallowtail Kite. South Seas is one of those daylilies that seems to do well for everyone including me. Stone Beacon is a yellow that's been on my yellow list for awhile now. What do you mean it takes room?...............Akopp: Wonderful picture of So Many Stars. Sherry: You know I love pink, so South Sea Serenade is calling me.......My contributions are a couple of yellows. Yellows add a "POP" to my eyes in any grouping of daylilies and these are nice ones:....Maryl
New last year with lots of frills SPACECOAST IRISH ILLUMINATION
Another more golden yellow I've had for a years now which has good color retention:

Always glad to see Salty Skipper. Spacecoast Irish Illumination has a lot more frills than Stone Beacon. It's a big plant, not that big. It would grow okay in a pot--described as a chrome yellow.
Note that Spider Miracle has weak scapes here.

8 years agoSears Tower. Very Late, Very Tall, reliable.
Siloam Amazing Grace. Reliable, very good substance, long season.
Smiling Ladies. average bloomer, large blooms.
Smoky Mt. Autumn. Absolutely cannot capture the large number of shades of color in a picture. Simply beautiful in person. The 2nd pic captures different color shades than the first.
So Lovely. Late, reliable, reblooms well.
South Seas. Great bloomer and color. Quite a show.
Spider Miracle. huge, bright. It and Siloam Amazing Grace are my 2 favorite yellows.
Strawberry Candy. Reliable, great bloomer.

Sing the Blues. Has had only one good year out of about 5. A couple of years didn't even bloom. Most likely going to replace it this spring as I need the space.

8 years agolast modified: 8 years agoI like that Siloam Amazing Grace. A multiple award winner that looks great. There were so many more of Henry's Siloam series daylilies that were out there a few years ago. This was a new one for me last year and even though it was new it still produced a few very nice flushes in its pot. Color in person is more orchid then pink........(P.S.-Mantis. Thanks for the info on Stone Beacon).............Maryl

8 years agoI have many S's to post. I have so many and no time to format the pictures so forgive me if they are not centered.
Saber Tooth Tiger is a blooming machine, but I have had not luck setting seed on it. It is pollen fertile.
Sabine Baur has a beautiful eye.
Sam Abell is one of our favorites--a wonderful grower in our climate.
San Juan Nights was photographed in Florida.
Sandra Elizabeth is plain, but it is always a welcomed bright spot in the late summer garden.
Santa's Little Helper is a nice red.
Spacecoast Devil's Eye is rather unique.
These next two pictures were taken in Florida or Georgia last May. This is Scarlet Blaze.
School Bus Dreams has a nice applique throat.
School Bus is a small-flowered variety.
More to come . . .

8 years agoSea of Cinders is one of our favorites. We lost the first one (fall planted) we grew but tried it again. Bob has babied it along in the greenhouse, but last winter we overwintered two proliferations in the ground and they did fine. This year the big plant is in the ground.
Sedona Square (photographed in Florida)
See Me-Feel Me-Touch Me is a nice ivory white dormant.
Serena Dark Horse is a very reliable dark one. It is hard to get a picture that shows its true color. It is tall, vigorous, and hardy. It blooms fairly late.
We grow Set My Soul Afire, but ours is not well-established. This picture was taken in Tim Bell's garden last May.
Shamrock Dew (picture taken in Georgia last May)
Sharks Do Bite is Southern bred but so far it has done ok. It was a very small bonus plant when it was planted.
Small Tempest is a nice small-flowered one.
Smoke Shadows (taken in Florida)
So Many Stars is a lovely daylily.

We lost the first Spacecoast Blood Diamond we had, but then someone sent one as a bonus.
Spacecoast Color Scheme is a small-flowered variety that seems to do well here.
Spacecoast Eye for Passion was photographed in Georgia, but now one resides in my garden. I hope it's hardy.
Spacecoast Fringe Benefits is too new to make any assessments about hardiness or vigor.
Spacecoast Gone Bulldoggin' has done pretty well for us.
Spacecoast Lemon Whiskers is too new to assess hardiness.
