Beautiful, you lucky ducky!

Ah, Barbalee, but my season will be over by the time some of yours is just beginning.

True, but I'm not expecting any blooms this year as I'm a total newbie :0(. I'll spend this year just learning, being jealous, creating beds, and planting babies.

It is a fun place to be...This is a great place to learn about daylilies, and you will get to see them being grown by "real" people instead of hybridizers and actual photos that may and may not be photo shopped. You will learn what kind of daylilies and what colors really appeal to you. You will "fall in love" with some, have the fun of planning and planting them and the joyy of seeing your own garden come to fruition. Not a bad place to be at all, and every one of us was once a newbie.

Thank you, Kay. That's exactly why I'm here :-)!

'Fern Stone' is so pretty. Looks like a great plant. And love your Iris. I must try some eventually. :0)

I agree about Fernstone. Lovely red with frills. Everything looks lush and just popping with color. Enjoy!

Your gardens look lovely again this year, Kay! My snowdrift is blooming and one of my iris is sending up scapes. It's hard to tell spring is here today, the high was 46 degrees, was 84 this past weekend. However, no frost on the horizon

William Shakespeare is really showing off. Compassion is just loaded with blooms; it is a bit more salmon here. And there certainly is competition from those vibrant iris (name of the first one?). The second-to-last one is a luscious shade. Finally, who is to deny the vigor of Fernstone?

Your gardens are really showing off. Fernstone looks so good, my 2 fans each have a nice scape, at least a week away from blooming though. Dumortieri bloomed yesterday, but with the wind & rain didn't look decent to show. Love your iris! And your roses, I miss the few roses I grew. Gave up on them when the Japanese beetles devoured them. Abe Barrow is a lovely flower, but that last photo is just wonderful.

Mantis, The iris in question is Deep Currents. The one I could not remember is Bold Fashion. Ad the first ones I posted...Private Eye is the iris you asked about.

Those are gorgeous. Today I dug my only blooming daylily to give to my neighbor.

You're sure generous, Ruthz. I sure couldn't part with an "only bloomer"!

It's Black Eyed Stella and I'm not that fond of it. And she doesn't have any daylilies and is very happy with anything I give her. She threatens to look in my garbage to make sure I'm not throwing away plants that she might want.

You have some pretty daylilies that are blooming early. Louisiana Jones will probably continue to look better with subsequent blooms. I do like its color! The roses and irises are spectacular! The only things blooming here are old fashioned bleeding hearts and creeping phlox. I did find my first daylily scape this week.

Hi Debra. I have scapes all over the garden. Several others will be blooming in the next couple of days. It isn't all bad that they are so early. this way, I will be mobile while some of them bloom and don't know how long I will have issues after the knee replacement. I suspect I will miss seeing Peak, but maybe I am too pessimistic

Hi,

I just happen upon this website. I'm usually on the Carolina Garden forum but wanted to check out the daylily forum. My goodness, what beautiful irises and daylilies. Do you guys every trade irises or daylilies? I don't have very many daylilies or irises for trade, but do have other perennials for trading. Please check out my trade list. Thanks for sharing such wonderful photos.
