Nice ones! I have Fried Green Tomatoes on my want list. so exciting!

I was pleased to get it in good shape too, Nancy. It is looking really good for now. I have Jelly Roll Morton coming and am very glad about that one too.

A;abama Jubilee is a favorite of mine - great color, good garden flower.

Oh, it's so much fun to find out what Forum members are going to add. Kay, you have some great ones coming in. Really want to see Senator Edward Kennedy when it blooms, think it is so pretty. All the rest are goodies, too, and Jellyroll Morton is on my want list. I am waiting to hear if I will be getting Christmas In Oz and Fried Green Tomatoes, seller will probably notify me in a couple of days. He does things a little differently from most sellers, but I am being optimistic that I will get these two.

I think it is a good way to "refresh" the garden. For each one we eliminate, we can add one. :) Nice group you will be getting.

Thank you all. You are right, Julia. As you know, red is my favorite color, and several of these are red...as is Barbara Mandrell which I am also getting, but I am getting Humungasaur which isn't at all red, Robert Searles....not red either, and one I am gaga over getting, Mean Green, thanks to a dear daylily forum friend....and that friend should know, she will have first call on increase in these new ones. There are a couple more too. An older one that I haven't seen caught my eye on the auction; Pink Flamingo and I had a bit of a bidding battle, but wound up with it too. As soon as it cools off a little even and these silly plants quit putting up scapes (Icy did it for the first time ever yesterday) I will be in the garden rearranging and moving in and out.

What fun, and some very interesting ones too. I really like the photos of Fried Green Tomatoes. And Christmas in Oz is one I was thinking very stongly of buying recently, may wish I had.

That is a pretty one, Nancy

It sounds like you will have a nice group of new ones. I look forward to seeing them next season. I've gotten a lot of new ones in the past two years, so I'm trying to limit myself to only a couple of new ones, if any, this time. In fact, I don't even have a wish list right now. If I can avoid looking at new intros and stay off the Lily Auction during the winter, I'll be in good shape.

Fried Green Tomatoes - what a color! Will have to add that to my wish list.

Alex

Staying off the auction during winter when we are bloom hungry anyway is hard. I still have one on my wish list, but I really looking forward to seeing new ones next year...of course, the first year is rarely an indication of future bloom. But I can hope. Alex, as soon as I saw it, I wanted it and looked for it. I actually got it from Marietta and it has been growing in a pot for a while now. The ones in the pots are all looking really good and putting up the nice new green growth. Debra, your new ones set me off last time and I am so glad I Got Fighting Fire. It has put on two new fans this year so far and it did so well.

Kay - as I am brand new here on this forum, I am ignorant about the winter auction. Is that something that is open to anyone? And will it be announced here in the Daylily Forum?

Alex

Ah, Alex, yes, it is open to everyone, and it isn't the winter auction but is open year round. Be warned, you may buy more than you planned, but sometimes the prices are really good. It is the Lily Auction. You have to sign up with a valid email, and, as usual a user name and password. I have bought quite a few on the auction including this year. Have fun with your new interest.

kay

Where does one sign up?

Alex

It is not part of garden web. It is kinda like ebay for daylilies.

Thanks, Brad!

Alex, let us know how it goes.

kay

Alex - Here is the Lily Auction link.

https://daylily.com/cgi-bin/auction.cgi

Thanks, all! I am now logged in, and hopefully I don't do anything foolish - like buy more daylilies. I'm just going to observe. :)

Alex

Ha Ha! I said that too. But seriously, it is a great place just to learn about the various types of daylilies and what is the newest and latest to come down the pike.

Nancy

Nancy - yeah, I can see that. At the moment, I'd say the offerings are mostly a little 'too rich for my blood'. I'll stick with Wild &Son, etc when things are on sale, and wait till I've got some years under my belt, before I start going for some of those treasures for auction.

Alex

Take a look at the low end ones. Some of them are very pretty and very very reasonable.

kay

No argument about the beauty, but when you add in the shipping costs, the total is often more than what the catalogs would run. I'll keep an eye on the auctions, though, because the time may come when I see something I just have to have. :)
