Daylilies From the Past Few Days

7 years ago

Smokey Mountain Autumn, FFO, the color is too pink, to me the real color is copper peach. This DL has naturally short scapes.

Fairy Tale Pink--FFO--totally reliable plant. It's been here at least 14 years and has about 50 scapes. I am hoping for a great clump shot in the future.

Small World Snow Owl--FFO--a huge, beautiful flower.

Leebea Orange Crush--FFO--The color is too pale, it is much more orange than this.

Midnight Magic--very black/red.

Julianna Lynn-a favorite edge/no eye daylily

Sweet Isabela--FFE, I believe Mantis posted pics of this one last year and that is why I bought it last fall. Love the color and big watermark. This taken in full sun.

Destined To See--finally a fairly good picture, the first blooms have not been very good.

Joan Senior--FFO, our whitest white DL.

Very nice bunch. I know what everyone means about capturing the color of Smoky Mt. Autumn. I tried for years to get an accurate picture, and last year I finally got one. I used the sunset setting on my camera.

I see the computer kind of messed up my pictures. The one unnamed is Heavenly Tiger Tails. Unfortunately, the first flower was blotchy.

Smoky Mt. Autumn color is hard to catch isn't it? Mine is not close to blooming. Nor are others I have that you posted. Are yours early this year? I actually ordered Juliana Lynn this year. Glad to hear you like it. All very pretty. Kate

....and I thought I had a lot with my 36+ LOL. I have to say the color combinations on yours are stunning, I don't think many of what you have are available up here. I just put in a few more with nice markings but I have to say nothing like yours. Do you deadhead or just let them be? I've been thinking of putting more in as they are such a good looking easy care plant and I'm not getting any younger. Annette

Kay, Madonna Arsenault is new for me, I bought her last fall. I was waiting for her to open and I think it was worth the wait! Jean, thanks for the comments about the seedlings. MA is a beauty isn't she? Mantis, Stephanie has been here two years and is improving each year. Maximus, Lexington Avenue has also been here 2 years. The first year she was buried under an annual shrubby plant that grew taller than her, 4'. I moved her to a raised bed in full sun and now she puts on a great show. Marg

Shores of Time and Linda Beck are looking glorious in your garden! Those are two of my favorites here, and I look forward to seeing them bloom. Only two scapes in my Shores clump have fans, and LB just started to scape, so it's going to be awhile before I see mine.

That's funny Ruth. Sherry Lane Carr was one of my oldest daylilies here. It grew contentedly and productively for many many years until a daylily friend of mine saw it and had to have it. I gifted it to her as it was time to move on to other yellows......Shores of Time got to bloom last year before going down for the count over last winter. Upon seeing that bloom I was reminded of why I kept trying to grow her. What a pretty thing she is and why I enjoyed seeing yours...........Maryl

Sweet Isabella is a beauty, but Juliana Lynn isn't far behind. But then I like pinks and those two are good examples of them. Midnight Magic stands out also..........Maryl

I always love the color of Smoky Mountain Autumn, and my camera isn't good enough to capture the color. Julianna Lynn is a lovely one.

Thanks, everybody. LilyKate, this is an early blooming year, no doubt because of the warm winter. Julianna Lynn nearly died when it first arrived, but came back strong, thank goodness. Hope yours will be loved as much as ours. Maryl, I had a sneaking suspicion you would like Sweet Isabela. Midnight Magic is really dramatic, but unfortunately, will melt out in the hot sun. Wow, so many people have Smokey Mountain Autumn, well, at least you know what the true color is.
