Part 2

Blessed Art Thou: Great plant

BLUE EYES GLANCE: One of the few Lambertson daylilies I continue to grow. It is a bit tender here. It performs better in a pot than in the ground.

Blueberry Breakfast: An oldie but a goodie

Bohemian Rhapsody: Good plant , but not my favorite color scheme, so it left the garden this past year. Just can't keep them all.

BOLD MARAUDER: One of my favorites

BORDER CROSSING: Love the contrast

Borg Technology: It also left the garden this year. Was not in the plans for hybridization.

BOUNDLESS BEAUTY: Love this plant. No problems opening.

BRIDGETON CORSAGE: Great little plant. It is on tall scapes.

BUDDY's BLACK LADY: Too new to evaluate

BURNING ANGEL: Also left the garden this year. Under performed.

BUTTERCREAM: Great plant

That's all for me.

David

Sherry - definitely Belle Cook for a favorite! That yellow ruffled edge makes me think of little girls' Easter dresses.
Maryl - Bodacious Bite - beautiful!
David - lots of choices there, but I'll go with Barney, which knocked my socks off at first glance - and Bold Marauder.

Alex

Bahama Butterscotch

Bali Watercolor

Bela Lugosi

Blackberries and Cream

Bold Tiger

So many lovely B's.

Sherry, I love your quote. Isn't it the truth. I finally found what I want to be--daylily hybridizer. Lucky for me, I'm retired with a decent pension because I have heard that daylily hybridizer is not a lucrative profession.

Sherry, I can see why you like Bot Crazy--it's a beauty!

Maryl, Bodacious Bite has been in our garden for many years. We love it--always a lovely flower and it sets seeds too.

David, Beauty in Motion is amazing. Bud Bennett must have been the king of the ruffled pinks. Bass Gibson is one of our favorites.

Aaron, Blackberries and Cream is my pick of the ones you posted. I love the eyes and edges. We just added Bela Lugosi last summer. I have heard wonderful things about it.

Here's Bass Gibson in our garden.

Beachlands is southern bred and I am afraid the weather we are having now will damage it.

Belle Curve is a nice big flower but not my favorite color.

Bengal Teeth was new to the garden last summer.

Best for Last is a nice late variety.

Betty Ford has not done that well for us.

Black Horns is not well established yet.

Blockbuster

Blue Martini

Bo Diddley is a vigorous grower.

More to come ...

Nancy, I hope Beachlands holds up for you this winter, it sure is a beauty. I'm glad you enjoyed today's quote, thought I would do something different this alphabet season, a new one each day!

Sherry

Beautiful Edgings

Aaron: Bali Watercolor and Blackberries and Cream are beauties.

David: Beauty in Motion is a really nice pink. Will have to check that one out. Also like Butter Cream

Avedon: It got a little ahead of itself in the "B" section, but I still love the color on Debary Canary. I was just wondering the other day how it grows for you.

NAN: As always so many to choose from. Beachlands intrigues me. Ever since I saw an edged/eyed apricot/lavender combination at the daylily show I've been looking around for something like it. Although on Beachlands the base looks yellow, it is a nice color combo with the eye/edge. Look forward to seeing more of it. Like the oranges, particularly Buddy's Betsy.................Maryl

Love them all! The quotes are a really nice addition Sherry.

You are right, Maryl, had a senior moment with Debary Canary. I really like it, but it hasn't been great for me, such a shame. It has never made the registered height which I believe is 52" or thereabouts. In our zone, you would think Stamile DLS would do well, but most of the ones we have are just so-so. Now for the last real "B"-

Thanks Avedon. I looked it up again after I saw yours and it said it was an early bloomer (E and EM seem to be the norm for southern Stamilies) and I have enough early bloomers so your comments told me all I needed to know. Thanks for the honesty..............Maryl

I'm loving all the bold and beautiful B's! Here are some of mine.

I have a LOT of 'B's so I hope no one minds I go a little crazy. We're awaiting the coming monster Nor'Easter and with temps below zero all week, looking at everyone's lovely photos is a great mood enhancer. Here are mine, in several installments:

Celeste, I'm sure everyone looks forward to seeing your posts as much as I do, you can go crazy with every letter! I'm in love with Breeze at Dawn, don't remember seeing that one, it's lovely : )

Sherry

Sherry, it's a pretty one but a little short. I keep it because of the bloom and good bud count but it might not be for anyone who likes them well out of the foliage.

Barracuda Bay

Becky Lynn

Belle Isle Sentry, a favorite

Benchmark. This is actually a nice lavender but all the photos of it come out mauve.

Beryl Quinn a rather unique color

Bittersweet Holiday

Bold Vision. good rebloomer

Brave World. Not well budded but such a nice color

Bombay Silk. Mine doesn't show the watermark like Celeste's.

Oooo, Lori, I remember Bluegrass Memories from last summer, I think I need it! A northern seller I buy from has had it, gotta check again.

Sherry

Butter Pecan --has proved a reliable and showy performer.

Bachelor Party --fairly new to garden

Blood Sweat and Tears --younger plant that hasn't excited yet

Big Bang Theory --nice, but hope that bud count improves on this young plant

Bill Fall --older, very bright red blooming later

Born to Run --when nice, it's very nice

Blue Pink Beauty --nice Stamile pink

Black Lapis --has yet to prove itself

Belief in Vein --very showy, very upfacing

Becky Adams --one of Selman's better plants

Barbara Mandrell --so far, seems to like a warmer climate

Blizzard Bay --showy older white

Banana Cream Beauty --huge flowers; slow to multiply

Boss Lady --has done much better here than parent Webster's Pink Wonder

Barracuda Bay --reliable

Bill Norris --worthy of the Stout and usually reblooms

Betty Ford

Beauty of the King --wish it were larger

Bunny Eyes

You all have so many B daylilies and many of them are ones I'm also growing. It might be too difficult to try not to repeat, so I'll just list them all even if I know they're posted above because there are some I like a lot and want to comment on.

BABY BLUES - a 3" little beauty

BALLERINA BEAUTIFUL - reblooms here I can tell from the tag I took this picture in Janice Kennedy's garden but I grow it too

BANNED IN BOSTON - reblooms and what's not to love

BARBARA DITTMER - another rebloomer here

BARNEY - I see several of you grow it. It reblooms and I know it's supposed to be something special but I'm just not seeing what that is.

BASS GIBSON - I've tried hybridizing with it but not much luck.

BEAUTIFUL EDGINGS - reblooms here

BEAUTY OF THE KING - reblooms here

BEE'S BETTIE SUE - During bad rust infestation in past this one was pretty resistant.

BELA LUGOSI - I think several of you grow this. It reblooms and is nice but I'm donating it to my clubs this year.

BELLA SERA - reblooms and I love watermarks - tried to use it but not enough

BELLE ISLE LIPSTICK - also reblooms

BENEDICT - reblooms with 4 BR and 19 buds, decent statistics

BI-BI BABY

BI-EYED BABY

BIG BIRD'S FRIEND - 50" tall, 8" flower

BIG KISS - I saw at least two of you grow it. I don't grow many doubles for a reason, but I wanted this one.

BIG SUR - reblooms, fragrant

BITE YOUR TONGUE

BLACK ARROWHEAD

BLACK FALCON RITUAL

BLACK LAPIS - reblooms, pretty nice for me here

BLUE ABYSS

BLUE BEETLE - not really great in my zone

BLUE PINK BEAUTY - reblooms - classic

BLUE RONDO

BLUEGRASS MUSIC - VF, reblooms

BOLD AWAKENING

BOLD TIGER

BONNIE BREENIE

BORN IN CALIFORNIA - new here last year

BOUNDLESS BEAUTY - Love this and probably used it too much in hybridizing! Very good branching and bud count.

BOWTIE AFFAIR - nice pattern, reblooms, I've either sold some or it is slow to increase here

BOY CRAZY - 8" flower, good color in the landscape

BRER RABBIT'S BABY - reblooms, BC of 20, multiplies like rabbits

BRIDEY GREESON - reblooms but marginal here - unique colors

BUBBLE YUMMIN MAMA - lush, fragrant rebloomer

BURGUNDY CRAB

BUTTER ME UP - 30 buds, 4 branches here

BUTTERFLIES AND RAINBOWS

Is Bela Lugosi a rebloomer? It's never rebloomed here. Has it ever rebloomed for others besides Daylily99?

Debra

Sorry, I was incorrect. I was looking at my spreadsheet and the column where I have what it's registered as being (EMRe in this case) is next to my actual observations. I just read the wrong column and may have done so in some other cases too. I now see it's not even registered as reblooming, so I'm going to the AHS database to recheck my facts. Thanks for catching that Debra.

Bombay Silk

Didn't expect to like Billy the Kid that much, but so glad it was a bonus plant

Bordello Queen

Born to Reign

Bumblebee Deelite is the smallest flower that I have, 1" flower only but heavy bloomer & I like the way the flowers are high above its foliage. Maybe can't tell from photo-that foliage is from another plant.

Butterfly Moon

Bonnie Holley is a real hard working plant

Hey Nancy, glad to see Bonnie Holley in her 'new' home. Is she opening up for you? Or is it too early to know in just one season? It rarely opened up all the way for me but like you say, it was a very hard working plant. It was so vigorous and the buds were plentiful. I hated to part with such a good plant but darn those sculpted blooms in my climate! Billy the Kid looks very cool. * Edited to say that I looked it up and see it is a Maryott evergreen....I have mixed results in my climate so I guess I'll pass....but it is pretty.

Here are a few images of some of my B's.

Bonanza

Bali Watercolor

Black Eyed Stella

A few more

Blue Star

Here are a few more of my "b" daylilies

Breed Apart

Bat Signal

daylily99 can you tell me who the hybridizer is of Blue Rondo is please . Any other info is appreciated too.

Isn't that one of yours, daylily99?

Yes, I'm the hybridizer of that one.

Oops, sorry - more info. 33" EM 5" Sev Tet. Lavender pink with blue violet eye and edge. I have had instant rebloom on this but not consistently so not registered as a rebloomer. 30 buds and 4-6 branches. Fertile both ways. (WILLIAM DELOREY X SEEDLING)

It's gorgeous.

Thanks for the info daylily99 . I tried searching it but only found one called Blue Rondo ala turk on NGA , Found the info on Blue Rondo on the AHS site this morning .....Just wonderful. Sure wish I could find that one up here . Love it !!!!! Out of all the pretties on this page it leapt out at me .

Thank you. That makes me feel great. I wish I shipped to Canada for you to be able to get it. That exercise is just more than I want to venture into.
