BEDAZZLING *B* daylilies, 2017
Three B's for me. I'm realizing again this year that I am way behind in the size of my collection. I'm gardening on a 75' by 125' lot and have four dogs that need a little room so I have to choose wisely. Still paring down my Stella d'oros, I think I have 5 or 6 left. The problem is finding smaller ones to replace a few more. If anybody has BLUEBERRY LEMONADE please post pics, I keep saying I need to get it but haven't, PLEASE convince me!
Last summer was Brocaded Gown's second season in my garden, I think it's doing pretty well.

Bedazzling blooms before boom boom time
Comments (16)As usual, your photos are fabulous! I couldn't pick just one, but Betty Louise Prince and Susie Tee are TDF! Love them both. My wishlist is getting larger than the list of dl's I grow. lol Glad that you guys are ok. The storm hit here around 6pm. There were tornadoes in the area and we had some hail and flooding. No damage that I could see. It is thundering again now. Michelle...See MoreWORTHY *W* daylilies 2017
Comments (37)Debra, Whistling Oyster is a tall bitone in my garden, very well-branched and good bud count. I like the height of the scapes (around 3 feet here) and the fact it blooms early in the season. I get the darker purple tones here but I've seen it elsewhere more leaning toward maroon but still an eyecatching daylily. Blooms are about 5 /12 inches so not a large flower. Flowergirl....sorry, I didn't catch your question before this. I do not know the name of the Japanese maple in the photo (there are actually two in that bed) because when I bought them they were end of the season clearance at Lowe's, marked down to just $12 a pot and had no labels. They also had no leaves so everyone passed them by....but I knew their potential and what a steal they were! Five years later, those little bare 'twigs' are gorgeous trees. For those interested in the Windham daylilies, YES....Carl Harmon of Harmon Hill farm here in New Hampshire sells them. Carl is a friend of mine and sells terrific plants (go to their website....they have lots of pictures!). Dan Matzek, the hybridizer, lives here in NH so these are cold-hardy daylilies. Do not be put off by the bud counts listed.....often times they have better bud counts than that. It's just that in the north bud counts are usually not as exceptional as in warmer climates so he was conservative. The Windham series was named after a town in NH in case anyone was wondering....See MoreFlowers for 2017
Comments (36)I'm going to buy NO plants this year. (Right. Except lantana, echinacea, a bay tree, Arp rosemary. . . well, you all know how that goes, maybe a couple nice begonias, haha) When I got down here to Oklahoma 3 yrs ago, we had peonies, yucca, crocus, jonquils, chrysanthemums (perennials), and some cute dwarf crepe myrtles. Now we have 4 4x20 raised beds for veggies (thought have only so far grown tomatoes, peppers, potatoes, zucchini and butternut squash) I am on a mission now with peppers. Having discovered (and then read) that peppers loved WARM for germinating, I'm on round 3 of planting peppers. So far had only 9 that were looking good. So I planted a dozen more various green ones (NEW seeds (California wonder), half a dozen early jalapenos, and half a dozen ornamental fish peppers. Fun seeing all your lists, giving me ideas for ones I've forgotten--had forgotten, for example, the gorgeous hyacinth beans and black-eyed Susan vines until Dawn mentioned them. And much to my delight, that cute little trailing verbena I loved so much up north as a summer patio pot addition, is a fun-loving spreading perennnial down here--and nearly everything is self-seeding (different from up north). Many delightful surprises! Lantana! Boy do the hummingbirds, bees and butterflies love lantana! As they do the morning glories, bee balm, cleomes, 4 o'clocks. Day lilies and begonias look like a challenge to grow from seed; be fun to see how it goes. And I had no idea how ridiculously easy it was to grow coleus from seed, so got a mixed bag from Diane's Seeds--that should be fun. The grow cart is getting crowded--I want everything to grow well, but to stay manageable until I can start moving them out! Tricky, eh? (And some not so delightful ones, watching things wither up and give up the ghost in July. LOL That's okay, it's all good!) Love herb garden (rosemary, thyme, oregano, sage, parsley, cilantro, dill, fennel and basil, so far. . .) These flowers up to this spring:Achillea ,Asters, Astilbes, Butterfly bush, Cannas, Clematis (jackmanii and Diamantina), Cleomes, Coleus, Coreopsis, moonbeam and unnamed variety, Crepe myrtle, 4-6 foot shrub, purple; Daylilies (3 different ones), Elephant ears, Gaura, Heucheras, Hydrangea, climbing Hydrangea, endless summer; Iris (a pickup truck load); Lantana, Marigolds, Miniature lilac (Miss Kim); Monarda, monkey grass, Morning glories, purple; Nasturtiums, Penstemon, cardinalis; Penstemon, husker red; Rudbeckia, Russian sage; Shasta Daisies, Smoke bush, Spirea, bridal wreath; Verbena, zinnias. This year's are:bachelor buttons, Begonias, black-eyed Susan vines, Coleus, Dahlias, Daylilies, Echinacea purpurea, Gaillardia, Gypsophila elegans (baby's breath, red); Hollyhock zebrina (malva sylvestris); hyacinth beans, Mexican sunflowers, Milkweed, Moonflower vines, Morning glories (heavenly blue); Nicotiana, Rudbeckia hirta; Sweet potato vines. I'm sure there will be more added as the year goes on . . . . I am laughing about my 40 tomato plants that are going gangbusters. And keeping fingers crossed for onions, potatoes, lettuce and other good things to come. (Cabbages, beets, broccoli, cucumbers, zucchinis and butternut squash and yes, okra. . .) Had to edit--my lists didn't format here as lists. . ....See MoreB daylilies 2022
Comments (26)Bass Gibson had an off year, as did many. There were some nice blooms, but a number of bad openings and shorter scapes; BG can be inconsistent, but was great the previous year. Brown's Ferry Peaches and Cream did nothing for me here. Oh, there were a few nice blooms, but just wouldn't establish and get beyond 10-inch scapes. Where in central Ohio are you located, Steve? I am generally wary of Brown's Ferry intros, after being burned a few times. I wonder if you can say more about Blackbird's Song, Nancy. How quickly established, bud count, etc. Boss Lady had a very good year. Big Bang Theory has big blooms. Bud count could be higher. Butter Cream always provides scenes for pics. Belle Cook, despite its shortness, can wow. Black Bird Sings (not to be confused with Blackbird's Song) could stand some shade. Here at Crintonic near noon. Bridge of Sighs can have a nice flower, but would rather be farther south. Blazing Saddles has the typical Hansen tall scape. If only it had a Hanson scape. Blushing Escapade--long blooming glowing color on taller scapes. Blessed Are the Meek. I decided to try this, though one person warned me it is not that vigorous. Broken Chains, one of Karol's better ones here. Butter Pecan in a clump that needs division. Scapes a bit shorter after those late spring freezes. Birthday Wishes. Scapes less consistent here the past year, though not as short as this picture looks. Blue Pink Beauty is in a part of the garden where it is difficult to photograph, but there is always something deserving of a picture. Bubble Gum Twist has yet to make it out of the pot because I don't like the scapes. In the twilight of life, spaces in the garden go to only the most promising. Blood Sweat and Tears --moderate increase Buddy's Wild and Wonderful - a pic from 2020, when it was nicer. Early, which I like. Bloom Where You're Planted --quite showy, though every bloom is not perfect. A great name....See More

7 years agoJust a few:
Barbara Dittmer Does well here in part shade.
Big Smile does make me smile. It is a big flower and a reliable bloomer.
Bolero Eyes has spectacular flowers but not very many of them and four years ago I started out with two fans and I still have just two fans.
Bug's Hug produces lots of flowers but they fade fast in the heat here in Oklahoma.
I'm enjoying everyone's posts! Ann

7 years agolast modified: 7 years agoBe Here Now--soft, later, reliable yellow. Worthy of HM.
Border Lord --older one that still puts on a show
Blue Pink Beauty --this display of a few years ago has not been realized in the last few years.
Blizzard Bay --slow multiplier, but reliable later white
Boundless Beauty --quite a display this past summer. Some funky blooms, but generally good bud count, decent height and equal to its name.
Buenos Aires --this older Munson still has a place.
Bill Norris --had a bad year in 2016 but is usually quite reliable.
Born to Reign --we shall see.
Becky Adams --jury is out. It is nice, though not so nice as the hybridizer's and some posters' pictures. What else is new?
Banana Cream Beauty --huge

7 years agolast modified: 7 years agoBig Snowbird (above) --this near-white diploid did okay this past year. Scapes a bit too upfacing, but whiter than many recent tets, with good substance.
Big Sur (below) I can hardly tell from Rose Masterpiece.
Here is my Belief in Vein (not a good year). Color can vary. Very upfacing and can have some funky blooms. But an eye catcher.
Beautiful Edgings --a lovely shot of this one, but not a good year, and it always has some problems of some blooms not opening well. Hasn't done well at all in the hospital bed.
Becky By --it threw some very nice blooms this past year. Its location is subpar, but I think it will always have modest bud count.
Blood Sweat and Tears --we'll see
Bloom Where You Are Planted --bloomed well in a pot, albeit shorter. We'll see in the garden.

Thanks for looking.

7 years agoJust had to add this lily to the mix. Its color and shading is so hard to capture but is stunningly beautiful. Hybridized by a Mississippian so is a southern intro and might not perform well in the north. It is one of the few multiple clumps I have in my garden. It is not nearly as "washed out" as this one appears. Bluegrass Memories
