Coastal Grande is registered as orange sherbet, but it looks more peach here.

Comments (34)Might be a plan, Fruitnut. I'll check around. Maybe my local nursery can order a bundle if I can sell them on a variety. They may know some farmer's market growers who might like to trial a variety. Last year they got a "stray" in a bundle of Pluots and I bought it after it leafed out and it became obvious that it was bundled with a different variety. Still had the rootstock tag. Think it's Splash, but we'll see. To me, that's gambling. Now that we're all lusting after Flavor Treat thanks to Fruitnut, I noticed that Dave Wilson has a picture of Flavor Treat at their site, but it's not in their list of either commercial or home varieties. Strange. And Patty, now is the time when you start planting in the yards of friends and neighbors. I'm considering that with a couple of plums from which I want budwood. They should pollenize my trees from across the street, too. I bought a Flavor Grenade for one friend this year, and hope to get another friend a Flavor King. You have to assess how "into" gardening they are and pick easy or more challenging varieties depending on their expected level of care. And maybe drop by for dormant spraying and painting trunks every year. I think this is also a good idea with vegetable and melon seeds. Give a gardener you know seeds of premium varieties in return for a little produce, or buy seed for a local nursery to grow out, with an agreement that they'll call you when plants are ready....See MoreA double apricot/peach/pink
Comments (6)Glad you enjoyed, loveofmylife680. Sassy, this daylily truly has amazed me ... and this is it's very first year from a two fan clump purchased bare-root earlier this spring! I look forward to dividing this one some day so I can have a cluster of them. Randy...See Morefavorite peach/coral/apricot colored rose??
Comments (15)I ordered another Whiskey Mac, as my other one may have died from the severe winter we had. I was recently informed that they are also require a bit more care, but I have to agree that they are well worth it! If you have ever had the pleasure of smelling a Whiskey Mac rose, you'll never forget it's name. The scent is truly mystical with a fruity/floral headiness that is not overwhelming, but very strong and delightful. One flower filled half my garden with it's scent and I had to wander around until I found the source. I was truly amazed at how much one lone rose could emmit so much perfume. It didn't even smell like a rose, it was more like a basket of freshly cut fruit and freesia. YUMMM!...See MoreID please - peach/apricot colored
Comments (8)MAD - Based on only the one photo provided, my guess would be Apricot Candy. I looked at the leaves of the mystery rose and it seems to match AC and TS in photos on HMF; JJ's leaves are flat, dark, and shiny. Good guess! Ann...See More

6 years agoOnly a few in my garden, most are oldies.
Luscious color on a simple bloom. This one will always have a place in my garden.
A pretty small bloom, looks great at the front of the garden.
Another oldie, blooms here after the mids.

6 years agoWe don't have too many in this color class (not my favorite color), but many of the ones we have have been around for years.
Etosha was one of the first ones we bought.
Jules DeLambre is one of Bob's favorites. It's a very good grower in our garden and quite fertile too.
Marmalade Muncher has some nice teeth.
Tangerine Angel is a small flowered cultivar.
I almost didn't include Moving Forward because of its strong red eye, but the base color is peachy. This is a Grace hybrid that does well in our garden.
We also grow Femme du Joie. It's another that has been around for years in our garden.

6 years agoOther than some of the oldies already shown, I only have a few.
Prickly Sensation always shows up as this pale peachy color.
Pumpkin Kid is more peachy/apricot than orange for me.
My Savannah Debutante seems to have more peachy overtones than Mantis'. An observation I think I have made before. Great late for me.
Tropical Hot Flash.

6 years agoIt is not a favorite color category, but I do have some and do like some posted above. I really like Ethel Buccola and Border Blessed, Debra. I also like your Etosha, Nancy, & Wide World, Sherry. Personally I put Smoky Mt. Autumn more in the Coral category, which is generally brighter. It also is a polycrome with all the colors in it.It also just wonderful!

6 years agoPaige's Pinata always grabs my attention. It's on my list if I can talk myself into adding "just one more daylily" to the garden. I like Ethel Buccola and Country Pride too and great shot of Pumpkin Kid. My only contribution is Coral Corduroy. It is one of my core daylilies that I hope never to be without:........Maryl
Not a great shot but here it is with the yellow Googies in back: CORAL CORDUROY
