Highly Venomous was new this year. I liked what I saw and can't wait to see what it does next year.
Cancun Candy has done well here. That's a pine needle lying across the flower. I should have picked it off. Notice that I am wearing long sleeves in the picture. That's how chilly it was when the flowers starting opening this season. I am hot natured and would normally never wear long sleeves in the garden during flower season.
Sheila Broughton has beautiful flowers but the scapes are short and the buds are few.
Broadway Sparkler is a very vigorous small flower in our garden.

Best 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 MoreI daylilies 2019
Comments (27)Who would have thought there were so many wonderful 'I's" out there. Indian Giver looks so good for some people. It was one of my first daylilies and the color didn't hold up well in our sun. Sherry, that's an especially nice picture of it.............Celeste: I like the new daylily that Harmon's has, but is that really someone's name - Igor?...............Nancy: My wish list includes a daylily with the colors of I Don't Kid or Purple Maze that is colorfast in my heat. There aren't too many with that color combination to begin with and most of them I've heard about or seen fade too badly here. Lucky You with your cooler summers because both of yours are gorgeous...................Maryl...See MoreSiloam daylilies 2019
Comments (15)Here are the Siloams that I grow: SILOAM APPLE BLOSSOM: A very nice little one. Front of the border plant. SILOAM MELVIN'S YELLOW: An outstanding Siloam. One of the first to bloom and it is larger than most of Pauline's intros. SILOAM PAUL WATTS: This is a very nice red for the mid to late season. It tends to bloom just above the foliage. I wish it was a little taller. SILOAM RALPH HENRY: This is a tempermental plant. It does not like to be disturbed. I have it planted near the vegetable garden and it really stands out because of the extra water it receives. Substance is thick. That is all for me. David Zone 5...See MoreSa-Si daylilies 2019
Comments (28)So many beautiful ones, my wish list gets longer with every post. This time of the year I tend to want every one I see. By September I start to get a grip, but by then I have already added more than I should! Sherry, I really like Sea Dragon. Brad, Sears Tower is so tall! I bet it really gets noticed Debra, Shelby is one I admire every time I see it. Love Shadow Walker too Nancy Sea of Cinders looks like a standout Signet, Self Determination is so pretty, I almost bought it last year but talked myself out of it. I like Seven Locks too. David, I have Sherry Lane Carr too, could not find a photo of it, but it is such a great daylily. I like Saucy Vixon too Celeste, your Screen Pattern looks so good. I love that Screen Pattern has a different look on different days, probably because of temps. I like Shuffle the Deck too Sabine Baer, I love this one, a really good daylily that almost always reblooms Sailing at Dawn, does really well for me too Sailor Sky had its first bloom last year, and did so well, I think this one is going to be a realy good one. I have been rather surprised at how well Laura's plants do here, and thinking I should be buying from northern climates. San Ignatio is such a pretty pink and just blooms its heart out. I like the look of Santa's Pants, but wish it had more blooms Savannah Debutante, I don't have too many doubles, but this one does so well, more coral pink than these images appear for some reason Screen Pattern is a great daylily Selma Rose is one of my earliest bloomers, nice big flowers on rather short scapes. It has never had many buds, but did really well this year. I don't know if it heard me say it was on its way out, or maybe it enjoyed the up and down spring weather last year.

4 years agolast modified: 4 years agoBuena Fortuna is very vigorous. It's too plain for my tastes, but Bob likes it. It also blooms late.
Feeling Thorny does well in our garden.
South Seas is a reliable vigorous grower, but it will be leaving next spring. We just have to cut a few if we have any hope of keeping the garden looking decent.
A few more to come . . .hoosier_nan (IN z5b/6a)
4 years agoI think Glowing Quasar could become one of my favorites. I had a hard time finding it and I'm glad I did.
I love the flowers of Gay Activist, but it does have one problem. The first scapes often blast. Luckily it gets a second set later in the season.
This is not the best picture. The sun was too bright that day and I got that shadow in the picture but I had to post this one because I am so happy to have it. I had to wait quite a while to find it. The seller sent me a big clump. This is Dennis Russell.
That's all for me.Nancy

Here is Lickety Split
I may post more but this is one color I find hard to define in my gardens . What someone might consider coral I might consider orange and vice versa

4 years agolast modified: 4 years agoJust a few coral daylilies from me, I’m thinking I should have included Sailor Sky in this category instead of the peach/ orange.
Wide Wide World is a really luscious color, an old reliable.
Tropical Delight is a true miniature, 1 1/2” blooms on a 10” tall plant. It’s cute at the front of a border.
Soco Gap was new this past spring, I received several fans but had only a few blooms. I hope it settles in after I relocated it this fall to better spot.

4 years agoBack in the day, Bittersweet Destiny was one of my favorites. The color is beautiful in person and not like any others. It got caught up in my one year of rust and was regrettably pitched with the other offenders, but I've often thought of it since. A little on the short side, which seems to be the way with most of the full faced oranges, it is nonetheless memorable, and would be added again here if I had the space:

4 years agolast modified: 4 years agoDebra, the ruffles on Marlee Jane really caught my eye, and you really got the color on Coral Majority, my cameral does not get it at all
Brad, love Smoky Mt Autumn. Mine is recovering from crown rot and did not bloom this year. My Jolyene Nicole has always been pink, I like yours better I think.
Nancy, I like Cancun Candy. Sheila Broughton is pretty, too bad it does not have better plant habits for you. love the toothsomeness of Feeling Thorny
Signet, I like Lickety Split for looks and name. Beautiful color on Forestlake Ragamuffin, and I like your seedling
Sherry I hope Soco Gap settle in for you, pretty coloring
Celeste I love Pick of the Litter and Winning Note
I think I may have posted a couple in the oranges that would have done better here. Bonnie Holley is probably more peach here, but sometimes looks more coral to me. I really like the looks of this daylily, but it is struggling here
Coral Majority
Choral Fantasy
Tropical Trails

4 years agolast modified: 4 years agoI don't have many corals either so I am really enjoying everyone's pics. It is a beautiful color blend reminding me of sunsets and sunrises. Forestlake Raggamuffin is beautiful. I like Glowing Quasar too. Coral Majority seems to be outstanding as is South Seas. Winning Note has such a pretty form. Signet's seedling is amazing not only in buds but in color too. Tropical Delight is a cutie! I can't believe that it is that small.
The few that I have are
Aztec Beauty
Seedling Mahdi X Deadliest Catch

I found two more pictures to round out my 10.

4 years agoFunny you should say that Karen. Speaking for myself, I am drawn to corals/peaches when viewing catalogues or online websites but then I really really like those colors. Mind you I haven't met a daylily I didn't like yet I don't think.. They all have their subtilties.....just some stand out more than others . Sometimes the color is hard to define ( for me as I said above) but I am drawn to them much more than other colors or combos.
Celeste's picture of Forest Lake Raggamuffin really captures the essence and beauty of that plant and If I were to see that image in a catalogue I would pass up the latest and greatest to buy that one . I guess it all depends on what your preferences are. For Debra it seems to be pinks, Maryl says oranges are her fav's , for yourself I believe you said you love whites and for me it is this color .
Just for the heck of it , here is an image I am squeaking in ( don't tell anyone LOL! ) This one glows across the garden .
