M daylilies 2020

Let’s see your M daylilies today. One thing I learned with these postings is I need to take more photos this coming season, not enough good ones to choose from. On to the quote of the day: “Potatoes make French Fries, chips and vodka. It’s like the other vegetables aren’t even trying.”


Mary’s Baby is new to the garden, love it! It’s all your fault Maryl! A colorfast purple, yeah!


Moroccan Sunrise has been here a few seasons. It took a leap last summer.


Moonlit Masquerade is favorite earlier bloomer. I divided and moved this clump, neither skipped a beat. It’s an extended bloomer for me.


Magic Dancer has been a great grower in the two full seasons it’s been here. It’s a tall, late bloomer and has had proliferations.


Magic Lake does well in a less than ideal spot.



Mary Todd was the first daylily I bought in 1993. It’s been divided so many times. This clump was divided fall of 2018 and didn’t skip a beat. This bed is in my front yard next to the sidewalk and keeps the neighborhood leashed dogs from my more “precious“ daylilies.


Mysterious Eyes has done well here.


Mage Quest has done well. hmmm, this is my only good photo from this season.


Metaphor, my oldie that does pretty well with only a few hours of sun.

    Sherry: If your shot of Mary's Baby doesn't convince skeptics to buy it nothing will. It's a wonderful daylilly. I'm glad it does so well for you too............. I generally don't like white/eyed daylilies, but Moroccan Sunrise is a beautiful clump for you. Coincidently: My DH decided he wanted to try and make Moroccan Chicken tonight in the crock pot. Not our usual taste in food. Your Moroccan daylily turned out much the better of the two............Maryl

    I agree, that is a great photo of Mary's Baby, I love mine so much. The 2 Magic daylilies are magical, love them both, and Moroccan Sunrise is lovely.

    Magic Amethyst


    Mal has not been doing as well the last couple of years, some Soloman's Seal is crowding it too much


    Love Malaysian Marketplace


    Malaysian Spice


    Mapping Pennsylvania had its 1st full year and did so well


    Margo Reed Indeed had an exceptional year



    Marietta's Polkadot was on its 3rd year and was exceptional. This was its rebloom


    Mary's Baby


    Matt is an oldie, short but blooms heavily


    Matthew Martin has so many different looks

    These Js are really hitting the spot! I will go through later and comment on all of yours when I have more time. Here's mine: Joan Derifield. It took a couple of years to get going, but now it blooms like crazy. Joan Senior, my whitest, reliable.

    Brad: I think the plant you are referring to is Lythrum Salicaria "Morden's Pink". The species Lythrum is invasive in the wetlands, but the hybrid Morden's Pink has never shown any inclination to reseed or spread. Doesn't matter. The plant police have banned it along with the thug species Lythrum in many many states. Throwing the baby out with the bath water imo....... I wish mine would have reseeded a bit in the 30 years I've grown it. I can't find any new plants of Mordern's Pink locally or in mail order. However, I did see it listed for sale at a nursery in Kentucky once. Don't know if the nursery is around you, but it is named "Wallitsch". ............Maryl

    Favorite Eyed and Edged Daylilies of 2020

    Q

    Comments (29)
    Kate - Thanks for comment about the Karelia seedling! I need to give it more space to see if can get more buds. Last season is had 15 buds on one scape and 12 on the other. I think it could do better than that if not surrounded by taller seedlings. It did increase to five fans last season, so I'm looking forward to more scapes next year. If you want to post more eyed and edged daylilies, go ahead. Our friends didn't have many. That's why I went overboard - to make up the difference, or maybe I'm just greedy. When I first started collecting daylilies, the watermarked ones and the ones with eyes and edges were my favorites. I still like them a lot, although I no longer add many of them. Debra

    My Dog Barks, not sure it survived the drought in Sept


    My Mama Thinks I am a Star, great daylily


    Another photo of My Mama Thinks I am a Star, yes,I really like this one



    Mystical Rainbow was outstanding last year


    My Melinda is an oldie, it is a huge clump because no one wants it. Maybe because it is such a huge clump, but it stays in bloom for a long time in the summer

    We grow Mary's Baby too. It's a great daylily.


    Here are my M's.


    Maynard Max was hybridized by a friend of ours. It's a nice toothy.


    Magic Rises was a bonus and I'm not sure it is a keeper. It is interesting, though, as the the throat appears to be applique.


    What I like about Margin of Error is that it has an eye with some toothiness.


    Matthew Kaskel is a tall ruffled orange.


    Max's Miracle is relatively new to the garden so we don't know how it will eventually perform.


    Megillah is one I have never been fond of. It will leave the garden this spring in our downsizing efforts.


    Melanie's Smile is a great daylily from Canada.

    More to come . . .

    Mema's Simone is a small-flowered daylily.


    Mighty Chestnut is a great grower although its burnt orange color is not my favorite.


    Mike Longo is a southern that has survived many years here. It has some of the fanciest flowers in the garden.


    Morano is one of our Canadian flowers. I am not sure if I like it.


    Moving Forward has some of the roundest flowers in the garden. It's a southern bred daylily that has done well here.


    My Little Tea Set is one of my favorite small flowered tets. It's a great grower with lots of elegant little flowers.

    More to come . . .

    My Side of the Mountain is a great grower with fast increase.


    Here is ours Mysterious Eyes.


    I bought Natural Affinity because it is a bitone with an edge. However, the pink color is rather variable and not as intense as photos show. It is, however, a great grower.


    I bought New Flame for 5 bucks, not even knowing what it looked like. It is sometimes splotchy and will leave the garden in our downsizing effort.


    That's all for me.

    Nancy, my favorite of your today is Mississippi Man, so delicate looking. My Mal didn’t do well here, it died after two seasons, a shame. Margo Reed looks like it likes your area. Multiple Multiplications looks so interesting. I have Mr Skeffington, did not post it, my photo doesn’t look like yours.

    H. Nancy, I like Margin of Error, love the color. Mike Longo is indeed fancy, such a nice edge on a simple bloom.

    Mighty Chestnut, like Nancy, not my favorite but it performs well in a less than ideal spot.
    Mini Pearl, a good, small oldie.

    Mary's Baby looks wonderful for Sherry and Nancy. Mine didn't do well in it's first season, but I think it's roots were eaten by grubs. I'm hopeful that it will impress next season.


    Memphis got moved last Spring. I hope it will perform better in a more sheltered location.


    Midnight Castle also got a new spot last Spring. I hope more hours of sun will improve it's height and bud counts.

    Wow what a bunch of beauties today! Mary's Baby is terrific along with all the rest! Just too difficult to pick out other favorites.

    Off year for Marmalade compared to other years. Never ending rain until the end of June then heat and drought the rest of the year.

    Marmalade has many faces from bright to paler like this, a real chameleon.

    Moonlit Masquerade.

    I like so many, maybe I should not be participating in these threads.

    Sherry, if you were comparing your Me. Skeffington to mine, you should not be concerned. I think this was an early photo of it. I am blaming it on just getting planted in the spring and not settled in yet. The last blooms looked more like it should but I can't find those pics. I probably should nor have posted it. I have several similar ones, but it did so very well in the number of buds, I am looking forward to see how it does this year.

    Nancy: I like your picture of Malaysian Spice. I'm fond of the more delicate orange/melon colors. However, most unfortunately just fade out to blah in our heat. Mapping Pennsylvania looks really promising for you............Nan: I've been watching for your Mighty Chestnut for a few years now. It's on my long list but I'm not sure if it's orange or brown, or dirty orange....Sherry: Your Mighty Chestnut looks good to me. Again, it looks orange in your picture and that pleases me...........Debra: So many nice ones. Your shot of Miss Deameanor is lovely and you know you enabled me with your past pictures of Miss Goldie Gold Digger. Mine was a single fan last year and I hope she survives winter and picks up steam this year. My Heart Belongs to Daddy is a really nice cheery red for the overcast skys of winter................Maryl

    Debra, so many great blooms as usual. Michigan Nikki really caught my eye today. What a great edge on a “spider type” bloom! Mystical Intuition has it all, pattern, edge and delicate coloring.

    Laurie, a great clump of Marmalade. Last season was not so great for some of my daylilies, our weather was similar here, especially that rotten spring.

    Heather, I adore Magic of Oz, looks like it might work here too. Such a vibrant color on Matisse, does it catch your eye in the garden?

    Celeste, such luscious color on Michael Bennett in your garden, that purple again, I’m wondering if anyone else here grows it. Marque Moon caught my eye again, I’m a fan of a yellow edge on a white bloom. Mystery Being Written is a winner, I think I need more lavender blooms here LOL!

    Sherry, thank you. Michael Bennett was new and still settling in but gave some knock out blooms. That photo was in full sun and it still was such a saturated purple. Marque Moon is a great late season daylily. It is a great performer. Mystery Being Written has incredible color and I set a lot of pods on it last summer. I am hoping the children inherit that lovely lavender. I also love that it is a bitone.

    So late to the M party!!! Love living in the country until my internet goes out for days!! So many lovelies on here-too many to list as favs! I will admit every time I see Mary’s Baby I think I need it! There are so many other really impressive ones! Here are a few of mine. So many I did not have photos of this year. Margo Reed Indeed did not perform well nor did Mal and a number of others.

    Malachite Prism-I posted this as Amethyst Prism (which I also have) and did edit it out of the As. Love this lily.



    Memphis usually has perfect blooms but was moved and did not perform as well as usual

    Brad, I love Meleny Deb!

    Kate, Mountain Violet is absolutely gorgeous. Does it bloom well? I want a dark edge like that one. I need to look it up. I was given Memory of Morning as a single fan a few years ago. It did not bloom in the 2nd year and the main root died. A tiny offshoot survived, and this will be the 2nd year. Looks big enough to bloom if it survives. Beautiful bloom, hope mine is worth waiting for.
