S daylilies Sj - Sz 2018

The fourth and last S daylily post is today. The quote for today: “ I’m not arguing, I’m simply explaining why I’m right! “

South Sea Serenade has not been a fast increased, hoping for a leap year.

Soft Hearted Mother was added in spring of 2016. I love the triple edge on this one.

Silky Skies was added spring of 2017 as a single fan. It put up a scape with a few blooms.

I added Stephanie Returns this past fall. I hope it does well, I really liked the reverse bitone and eye on this one, quite nice for a “Returns” daylily.

    Spider Imposter new to the gardens

    Stolen Moment in Time not new but needs to be moved out of shade.

    Storm of the Century Ha! just looked this one up , not sure why I did that ,guess I got sent the wrong plant . It looks nothing like the image on the National Gardening site . Anyone want to venture a guess as to who this might be
    Stephanie Grappelli a Hanson that should do well in our area but it just is there . Doesn't do much.

    That's it for now .

    Here are the ones that I grow:

    SKYHOOKS: An older Hanson. It does well in the shade, but I moved it this past summer.

    SMALL WORLD LOONIE TUNES: Small bloom. This will be its third summer.

    SMOOTH JAZZ: Wonderful purple.

    SO BEAUTIFUL TO ME: This will be the second summer in the ground.

    SOLAR MUSIC: One of my favorite yellows. Tall scapes with flat blooms.

    SOME SWEET DAY: Tall scapes. Slow to establish. Last year was the best year.

    SOMETHING DIFFERENT: It is different as I don't have many reverse bi-tones.

    SOUTH SEA ENCHANTMENT: Great pink flower. Bud Bennett used it in his hybridizing program.

    SPIRITUAL CORRIDOR: Great Hanson intro.

    SPIRITUAL HORIZONS: Vigorous grower and prolific bloomer. Tends to bloom Mid late.

    Mantis , cant get over how much like my Greywoods Dottie Doolittle your Spotted Fever daylily looks like. Is yours fairly short too ? Love the color on Still The One and Stolen Treasure . I love bitone daylilies. Still The One is not one I have seen available here darn it . I personally love the color on Spinal Tap . Oh and Sultry Siren , if you ever decide to toss it , toss it my way will you!!!!

    Maryl ....Spock's Ears is one of those daylilies where every bloom is identical . So yes , the blooms are reliable but I can only speak to how it performs in my garden , I have never seen it anywhere else. I got it mail order so never even saw it in person then .

    daylilybedmaker I grow one of Whatley's yellows here but have never been able to nail down which it is . It came to me as Buttercream ( cant find a registration info on that name ) but is a bright yellow like your Solar Music. As a matter of fact it looks very much like Solar Music. I thought it might have been Whatley's H. Ram which again looks very much like Solar Music. I will probably never know for sure ......ever .

    Your Swedish Girl looks so much like my Susan Weber it's not funny.

    Brad , love your Smiling Ladies , adding that one to my list too . UGH being addicted to daylilies is not easy. LOL ! I just added Stealth Bomber and Spiritual Corridor so seeing those images was great . Thank you .

    Peren.all , Would you like a piece of Strutter's Ball . I have some I can share with you . Just let me know ok .

    Lots of These:

    Stella's Ruffled Fingers--love this Stella


    Sweet Seneca Cameo--a bonus plant that is an excellent grower and bloomer.


    Small World Snow Owl--this is a great plant for us, produces lots of near perfect blooms.


    Stealth Bomber--really like the color


    Springfield Clan--terrific red


    South Seas--another excellent plant


    Sweet Isabel--was excellent for a first year plant


    Snake In The Grass Boo--struggles to grow, but we really like it, especially that neon green throat.


    Stardust Heiress--lovely plant and flower, I think the triangular eyezone shows off nicely,


    Starstruck--not my favorite shade of yellow, but this is an excellent daylily, and glad it is here. It produces lots of large beautiful blooms.

    More to come:

    Sugar Magnolia--huge gorgeous pink--thank you, Debra, for sharing this with me.


    Stack The Deck--like the color on this one and it blooms well.


    Strawberry Candy--a very good small flowered bloomer


    "Sundown Ripples" a Sandy Nall seedling. When it is good, it is very good and when it's bad, it's awful. Not so bad in this photo.


    "Sweeten Creek"--a bonus plant that is quite pretty. We just moved it last fall, and hope it does better this year in the new location.


    Spanish Fandango--a star-shaped DL I really like that has nearly been killed by moles--hope we have saved it.


    Stargate Portal--it's a beautifully watermarked flower, but the plant just limps along. It may not have a future here.


    Snowflake Empress--midseason bloomer for us, delicately beautiful.


    Smoky Mountain Autumn--this picture taken Sept 30 last year. The plant had a wonderful late rebloom for us.

    Signet, Butter Cream is registered as two words. Here's a picture of our Butter Cream.


    Here are my Ss.

    I love the shape of the petals on Sky over Schuyler.

    Small World Ann Marie Ittner is a nice daylily but a little too plain for my tastes.

    Small World Fire in the Hole is not well established yet. I hope it eventually reaches its registered stats.

    I would say Smilin' Sandy Swayze just does ok in our garden.

    Snidely Whiplash is one we bought back from Canada. It looks like it will be a great grower.

    So Beautiful to Me, like so many Klehms, is a very delicate color.

    I have heard good things about Something in my Teeth as a breeder, but it's taking its sweet time getting established in our garden.

    Spirit of Halloween is one of Bob's favorites. We lost the first one in the vole apocalypse but we hope this one does well. I must admit I like this one too.

    I don't think Spoons for Escargots will remain long in the garden. I think the color is a little dull.

    Like all Richard Norris hybrids, Sportin' Life does very well here.

    St. Louie Blues was new last summer. I can't wait to see this subtle beauty this season.

    State of Happiness is also relatively new. It was a freebie plant handed out at the region 2 summer conference in Peoria to advertise the summer conference in Michigan.

    We love bitones and Steven's Crunch is a good one.

    Strawberry Fields Forever is a lovely color but not a great grower in our garden.

    Bob loves his Whatley daylilies. This is Strung Out.

    Substantial Reward is bred from Richard Norris's tet conversion of Substantial Evidence. Unfortunately, it is reluctant to set seed for us.

    Sultry Spanish Eyes was planted in the fall of 2016. I hope it proves hardy for us.

    Sun Panda is Canadian bred and very hardy. We love the intense colors.

    Sunny Spot is a small flowered one.

    Just looking at these daylilies you all posted, does make me long for spring (which for me is still a long way off)! There sure are a lot of 'S's!

    Here are mine:

    SNOWBOARDING (this plant is a wonderful garden specimen. It increases quickly, is very tall, blooms well and continues into the late season here. This one would be another one I would take with me if I ever had to move,)


    SUNAPEE SUNSET (not widely distributed, it's from a hybridizer in my state of N.H. named after N.H.'s Lake Sunapee. It is an incredible bloomer, out of Summer Re-run and Awesome Blossom. This one has a long bloom time.)


    SWISS DIPLOMAT (I love the form and the greenish tinge on this one. Color is true; there is definitely a greenish cast to the eye in 'person')


    SWALLOW TAIL KITE (I really enjoy this one, both for the color and the height. Mine seems to be a darker purple than others I've seen......this was taken in full sun, so it's not my camera.....it really IS this purple!)


    SUZY CREAM CHEESE (there's nothing flashy about this one but I love it because it blooms in the late to very-late season when not much else is going on)


    SUNDAY RIVER

    STARFISH PRIME


    SPIRITUAL CORRIDOR (this plant is a keeper! It has been abused for years, living in a shady spot under trees and getting pelted with dropping acorns all it's life. Yet it still blooms incredibly well and always looks pretty. Someday I'm going to move it to where it deserves)


    SPIDER MAN (a great red and a wonderful presence in the garden)


    SOMBRERO WAY (one of the first daylilies I bought, which didn't even have a tag at the time and years later I was able to identify it. Has been divided and shared many times over the years because it makes a good landscape daylily. No fuss and multiplies quickly. Blooms in August here)

    SKY OVER SCHUYLER (I know some of you already posted it, but what a great daylily this is. I love the form and the color!)


    SKY DRAGON


    SOUTH SEAS (an oldie but possibly one of the best daylilies ever. Reliable....has never had a bad year here. Bud and scape production is amazing.... hardy and multiplies quickly. And the color is so warm and beckoning)


    SLIGO


    SPIRIT FOX (when I saw this growing in Carl Harmon's field a few years ago, it stood out among the crowd and I had to have it. The color is glowing! It has good increase, great bud and scape production.)


    STRING THEORY (blooms early here)

    Tell us about the hybridizer of Snidely Whiplash, Nancy. You might consider posting your pic in the NGA database, as well as some others that are unpictured in NGA.

    Spiderman (above) --older picture; didn't take pic in 2017

    Signet: I can see some resemblance between Susan Weber and Swedish Girl. Susan Weber will probably produce a more stunning flower, but Swedish Girl has the more pronounced edge and is a stronger grower. I still have some pieces of Susan Weber, but she is just too recalcitrant a plant.

    Sultry Siren ( in response to Signet's remarks) is an older Gates (known for his fine reds) and is very vigorous.

    Here is Symphony of Praise, a slow grower. Not for a cold climate.

    Star of India is a nice plant, but as an early, sometimes tries to open after cool nights. Well budded. In 2017, the nights were generally too cool for it.


    Snowflake Empress
    Sun Panda has not wowed me, but it's okay.
    Spider Miracle has scapes sometimes not sturdy enough. It looked good in 2017, after I thought it was gone.
    Spirit Fox --Celeste is wild about this one.
    Stone Beacon --wonderful yellow in the landscape. At the hospital bed, it is one of the chief plants stolen.
    Special Agent --can be splotchy

    (the blue you see in the background is Betty Corning clematis)

    STAR ASTERISK (reminds me a bit of String Theory, which I posted above)


    SMUGGLER'S FIRE (I will never be without this one. Just a great plant, perfect in every way and looks wonderful in the long border)

    SUN PANDA (another one that I saw at Carl Harmon's and it called to me across the field. It is doing well here)


    SOLAR MUSIC (not at all vigorous here, low bud count....may need more sun)

    No, I don't have that one Maryl. I'm not really sure why he prices some of them so high and for a single fan. I like both Michael and Jamie G a lot, but I don't like the single fan thing. It's their call though and I have to respect it and decide whether or not to invest.

    I've not grown any of Mr. Miller's daylilies so am unfamiliar with how they grow elsewhere or if they would meet my criteria for a good daylily in my garden. Small World Dream World was/is a pink so that's why I remember it in particular (I like pink), but at that exorbitant price I wasn't even remotely tempted. Still over the years I wondered how it did. I may have missed it of course, but now 6 or 7 years later I don't see it listed in any of my normal secondary markets (although Mr. Miller might still have it) and was curious if it lived up to it's price tag or turned out not to be a such good daylily in the garden. Or, maybe, no one paid the initial price to try it.......Just curious. Thanks for your response though............Maryl

    daylilly99, I can always send you some of my Sunapee Sunset if you are interested. I have never been to Capitol Daylilies myself or met Greg Marquis but found Sunapee Sunset at a local garden center. I should probably meet him since he is only about 45 minutes south of me. It would be interesting to see how you hybridizers do your 'thing'. If I had any land left I could see myself going crazy with dabbing the pollen....lol

    Thanks for the kind offer, Celeste. That one caught my eye enough that I went to his website and I'm actually going to trade for Sunapee Moonlight. I think someone in zone 4 hybridizing dormant tets that rebloom and have a good bud count is worth looking at. I would like to maybe use some of that dormant rebloom with some of mine that are evergreen rebloomers to try for something in the middle.

    Hybridizing is a blast, but involves some work. I have 1-1/3 acres and only use part of it, starting several hundred seeds a year. I collected for years and swore I would never hybridize - but what can I say. I collected and planted a bee pod one year and it was all downhill from there. It's nice to have something to look forward to.

    Pat Cochenour, who you may have heard of, did wonderful things with only two community plots in her town. Of course, she was something special.

He has similar tastes to mine--teeth, eye and edges, and watermarks. We didn't buy Snidely Whiplash directly from him but we got it at the auction at the Can Am in 2016. I bet it is isn't available in the U. S., but I haven't looked.

    Mike maintains a website. His garden is called Quintessential Daylilies.

    That's really all I know except that buying Snidely Whiplash was a good idea. It's fertile and looks as if it likes it here.

    Nancy I love one of his most recent daylilies H. Not Named After My Wife Linda" A gorgeous red tall UF . I also love the name Snidely Whiplash from the villain on the cartoon Rocky and Bullwinkle His new intro H.Vampire Fangs is calling to me but I will not pay that price especially for a single fan. I guess I will just have to dream .

    Signet--I checked the stats on Star Child and it is registered at 26" scape height. I doubt we have ever had a scape that tall, more like 20-22" or so.

    So many pretty ones on this thread! It's feeling like Spring here today, but it probably won't last long.

    I found several more that fall in this part of the S's. My daylilies are filed by date, rather than alphabetically, so breaking up the S's was harder than I thought.

    Stealth Bomber was mostly eaten by deer last year, an for some reason had pitiful bud count. In the past, this was one of the best budded.

    Debra: Your combination of Sugar Magnolia and Shelby is always a delight towards the end of the season. Skin of my Teeth is a really dark one - almost black in the picture. Summer Celebration catches my eye. Nice shade of caramel/yellow.........Maryl
