Comments (22)Hi Rita, I'm worried about you girl! I am thinking of you as we wait for the hurricane. My favorite of these is 'Olallie Keith' and I'm slightly annoyed that they don't seem to have it this year (or Vt Butterscotch Harvest)...at least I don't see it on their website. I noticed when I visited their fields, they had lots of yellow tags on rows of daylilies and those were the ones they were sold out of and only had enough to hold for increase. I searched for 'Olallie Keith' when I was there but didn't find it (although it was 90 degrees that day and my husband was itching to leave so I may have missed some things). I also like Fountain of Life and Hard Times. Celeste...See MoreFlowers from Friday
Comments (12)Kay, mine came from Bill as well. It is so funny that we are neighboring states and yet our lilies can look so different! I remember your Aslan looking so much paler than mine. Weather, soil and so many other factors are involved I am sure. I hope my edge evolves more like yours on this lily. As is, it looks like a lot of others!! Kate...See MoreFriday's flowers
Comments (9)Julia, I find it hard to pin down blooming times. They just seem to be all over the place. For example, Lava Flow in our garden blooms early, often first tied with Buddy's Betsy and just after Stella (usually, but it wasn't the first this year) but it's registered as a early mid. Most of the varieties we have that are late start blooming in late July--beginning of August. (Our peak is maybe just before July 4.) They seem to be blooming earlier than normal this season. I think bloom season is the hardest statistic to nail down for registration. It seems to be so variable because of all the factors that can influence it. Years ago I came across a list of daylilies to used as markers for the various seasons. I didn't save the list and can't find it now, but I do remember two of them. Stella De Oro was early early season and Sandra Elizabeth was very late. We don't grow Stella, but it's hard to miss them around town. We grow Sandra Elizabeth and it hasn't starting flowering for us yet this year. It's odd but many southern-bred daylilies that are registered as late do not bloom late here. An example of that is Last Snowflake and Geneva Purple Haze. They seem like they are mid season here. I guess bloom season is just like a lot of other factors, such as bud count and scape height. It has a lot to do with the growers microclimate. Nancy...See Moresherrygirl zone5 N il
