Best Budded and Branched Daylilies of 2018
Comments (3)Debra, can it really be that time of the year already? Say it isn't so....oh well. Well, I don't generally count buds but I do notice which are best. This inspired me to go check a few and see what I had more or less. Every year my winner is Purple Riot with 5 branches on almost every scape and 5-7 buds per branch or 25-35 buds total. [the mistaken AHS site claims it has 5 buds on 5 branches LOL. I sent them an email today to challenge that and offer a picture. Spiritual Corridor, with up to 20 buds on most scapes. New this year. Russian Rhapsody just slightly less than SC. It's best year ever, an old Munson. No clump shot, unfortunately. Always reliable, more buds than usual. Vintage Wine, the clump in front had 3 way branching and 15 or so buds. Another old Munson. It always performs well, this was a bit better than usual. Acquire the Fire, around 12-15 per scape, 3-way branching. Prairie Blue Eye, another oldie, had 15 on 3 way branching on a couple of scapes, 10 on others. Many of my high performers of past years-Prismatic, Karen's Curls & a couple of others-only had about 10 this year. Brad...See MoreBest Oranges of the Season 2018
Comments (32)Another vote for SPIRIT FOX. This is one of my best performing daylilies and exceeds it's registered height of 27".....it's around 3 feet here. It is tall and dazzling so I planted it by the porch where it commands attention: CLOSEUP SHOT: VENUS' FIRE This one is TALL and my husband's favorite. He doesn't even notice my daylilies and in fact, has only commented on Claudine's Charm and Venus' Fire in all the years he's mown the lawn.....lol. Since she managed to turn hubby's head, she's in my top 3.closeup shot: ALABAMA JUBILEE Another oldie, but goodie. Great color and plant habits. RUNNERUPS..... PANIC IN DETROIT This is a skyscraper in the garden! Great color and towering, it commands attention. OKTOBERFEST Keeps pumping out multitudes of happy flowers, nice and tall and well branched. PRIMAL SCREAM, color is hard to beat VT AUTUMN FIRES. A late bloomer that will bloom for over 2 months every year....See MoreBest Coral Daylilies of the 2018 Season
Comments (17)I don't seem to have many in this color range. The first two below are some of my very best daylilies..... TREASURE OF THE SOUTHWEST This one is one of my absolute favorites of my daylilies and I seem to take it's photo the most....it and Jerry Hyatt. (I found at least a dozen shots I took this summer). There are all the colors of a sunset in this one. It makes a tremendous clump that blooms endlessly with multiple scapes and buds, is super-robust and healthy and the substance holds up in the heat and the cold. In the heat it has more coral tones..... in cool weather it takes on more pink tones..... either way, it's gorgeous! SOUTH SEAS This golden oldie can not be beat for both brilliant color, reliable performance, hardiness and vigor. I will never be without this one. VT BETSY Not well known or widely grown, this Olallie late-bloomer will keep pumping out blooms dozens at a time well into September. Narrow grass-like foliage and dainty stems with fluttering blooms that remind me of butterflies in the breeze. RUNNER UPS..... This one could potentially be a favorite in future years. It's relatively new so it hasn't proven itself but the color has the 'wow factor'..... SMOKY MOUNTAIN AUTUMN BITTERSWEET DESTINY This is a daylily I tucked away in an obscure part of the garden and I always mean to move it where it can shine because the color is wonderful....See MoreBest Toothy Daylilies from 2018
Comments (29)Thanks all for the kind words concerning the seedlings. Karen, to be honest, I am not sure that Orchids for Minnie X Wolverine is quite as bright as the picture shows. I got lazy last summer and used my cell phone to take most of the pictures instead of the Nikon that really does a great job with colors. My cell phone tends to make colors a little brighter than they are. My husband's cell phone makes the color duller. Here is his picture from the same day. I think the true color is somewhere between the two pictures. (And the edge looks yellow in this picture.) Nancy...See MoreKarenPA_6b
