First bloom today on Anzac. This daylily grows in 90% shade and does great.

Early Bird Cardinal makes a pretty clump! Anzac sort of reminds me of All American Chief.

Anzac is a nice red, good that it grows in that much shade. I have lots of oldies, I would not be without most of them.

Glad to see daylilies both old and new! I have both and probably more old than new.

I, too, grow lots of oldies, many of which came from the "legacy gardens" given to me by my elderly gardening friends. However, I also came by many of my oldies by my own purchases. In truth, I have replaced some oldies I have lost because I like them so much. I once visited a garden where the owner told me she had lots of new fancy lilies with edges, eyes, ruffles, etc., and yet most of her garden visitors flocked to a row of Sallie Farley daylilies she had planted at the back!! I remember buying Pandora's Box back in the day when it was the daylily to be coveted!! So keep posting these. They are great.

Great group of daylilies! I have Early Bird Cardinal and Pandora’s Box and like them both. They are two of the first six cultivars I purchased. I also really like your second noid, pretty color!

Nothing at all wrong with older daylilies . I find each and every plant has it's own charm . I grow many many older daylilies and cherish them the same if not more than the newer ones. I find they are often more hardy than some of the newer cultivars which many are being bred for the faces and not for plant habit ( which is a shame I think) and let's face it , without these older cultivars there wouldnt be many new ones . They are each a step in daylily history and valuable because of their contributions
