V daylilies 2020
Comments (24)
4 years agolast modified: 4 years agoI do have V's. Thankful Celeste introduced me to the VTs and did some great trades. They are all late to extra late and they all have a lot of buds and long bloom time. Nancy & Bob, I am pretty sure these have been bred with fulva in this or the previous generation.
VT Autumn Fires is amazing. tons of blooms over a long period of time.
VT Fondly Kin, my favorite of the VTs
VT Rose Rosy
VT September Star, lots of buds
VT Sofie, another with tons of buds.
VT the Last Melon, another one with tons of buds and long bloom period.
Viette Seedling, I got this in a trade many years ago. It is very white, similar in color to Joan Sr. Fushia's Dream is peaking in on the right.
Not the best photo of it, but it confirms the whiteness.
That's all for me. It will be interesting to compare the color of Celeste's with mine.

Favorite Lavender Daylilies from 2020
Comments (33)I like lavenders, although they tend to be more on the mauve side for me (but then I like mauve too). Way too many to comment on each but these stand out: Sherry: Why I don't have these yet is beyond me. There's a reason they are treasured daylilies from the past: Lavender Stardust and Trahlyta......Celeste: the Queen of purples and lavenders, if there's one UF that I still think about adding *(IIHR) it's Ocean Spirit. It looks good for eveyrone......Kate: I grew Ava Gardener and this Smith daylily had such wonderful form. Most Smith daylilies don't last for me, fading away in their pot after a couple of years, and she was no exception. For anyone else, she's a good one to trial...........Debra: Did I ask this question before? Royal Invitation has drawn my eye for 3 years now, but the bud count is lousy at 10-15. No More Tears has the same bud count but produces many more blooms for me then listed (and that's not rebloom, just regular bloom). So how does it do for you. It is a beauty............Maryl * PS I get tired of typing this so I'm shortening it to IIHR (If I Had Room)....See MoreFavorite Coral Daylilies of 2020
Comments (15)As usual, so many beautiful ones, and unusual color. Debra, I really like all your ruffled corals, maybe the one that stands out to me is Carefree Sunset. Celeste, Treasure of the Southwest is such a gorgeous color. Mine bloomed so well, and love the form as well as color Sherry, Fern Stone looks great, mine had a bad year and I missed its usual nice blooms Brad, Smoky Mountain Autumn is gorgeous Nancy, I love your Candy Coated Confection Here are some of mine Aztec Beauty is a coral orange, looks more pink here. Not a heavy bloomer, but the color is superb and flowers are always perfection so I can't bear to part with it. Choral Fantasy is a Maryott that does well for me, usually not splotchy as it is here and a loud mouth in the garden. Coral Majority photo early in the morning, more pinky here too. My camera just does not capture the loud colors well Malaysian Spice is listed as a spice rose, and looks sort of like that here, but often looks more coral to me Waiting for Peace did really, really well this year...See MoreFavorite Patterned Daylilies of 2020
Comments (22)Sherry - I've always liked Mage Quest. Don't you have Gently Down the Stream too? I used to have Gently Down the Stream but gave it away because it looked so much like Millennium Falcon. Nancy - My Heart Belongs to Daddy usually has a much thinner edge. It only looked like that for two days last summer. Maybe that happened when temps were so cool. Kay said hers has never shown that much of the pattern. Brad - Thanks for your comments. Neither Secre Sentinel or Cobraskin Necktie is planted in a good place here. I wish I had sunnier spots for both, since I'd like to see them at clump strength. As it is, they are multiplying slowly and don't have many buds. Debra...See MoreColor Changing Daylilies of 2020
Comments (13)It seems there aren't very many color-changers or else not many of us grow any! I don't grow Pigment of Imagination but saw it in a garden so I took a picture. It's not one I would buy but it is interesting. This was late in the day after it was very hot and sunny. The others I have that can be variable in their coloration are: TRAHLYTA (will be very pale gray in hot weather and purple in cool weather) note that it becomes a reverse bitone in cool temps TANGERINE TUESDAY She is also weather-dependent as to how she dresses....BUT, unlike all my other daylilies which will be darker in cool temps, she is lighter in cool temps and darker on hot days. This was taken at the end of August when it was cool This was taken on a hot, sunny day weeks earlier WHICH WAY JIM unfortunately I did not think to take pictures of him in all his different colors....but it will range from near-black to deep purple, to gray. (here it's nearly black) Wish I had a photo of when it bleaches out to a very faded gray with purple ribbing. Here it is when it's purple: TEDDY BEARS PICNIC Like Debra, I find this one changes it's colors and appearance often: Brown: Gray: Purple:...See More- 4 years ago

4 years agoGlad your VTs are doing well for you, Brad. I didn't take pics of most this fall because of the summer drought. It wouldn't be fair to them since by Sept. and October their foliage was looking ragged. But they still pumped out tons of blooms!
Nancy, I see you are still trying to give Volcano Queen a chance. When I sent that wispy little fan to you I figured it was toast. It hated my climate.

4 years agoBrad, I am glad you and Nancy posted Vintage Wine. It reminded me I have that one-probably in the jungle bed-there are so many in that bed I need to move. Velvet Throne fits its name. How velvety! And I love the lushness of that Vesuvian clump!
Vanishing Mist
Vanilla Gorilla
Voila Francois-never has a bad bloom. However, has never come close to registered height. I moved it this year in hopes of better performance but will keep it regardless because of its beauty
Victorian Velvet-not as pink as this shows but still pretty

4 years agoSherry what a great quote!
Brad I can see why Fondly Kin is your favorite VT.
Nancy Velvet Eyes has a really interesting colour palette!
Brad & Nancy Vintage Wine is lovely!
Debra Venetian Pools & Velvet Throne are gorgeous!
Celeste & lilykate Vanilla Gorilla jumped out today.
Voodoo Dancer is actually much darker in person.

4 years agolast modified: 4 years agoI'll try again.
Vampire Bat doesn't wow me. For one thing, it won't set seeds for me. It is pollen fertile though.
Velvet Eyes is a rather unique color.
Venus Flytrap is another that won't set seeds for me.
Vertical Horizon is a beautiful flower, but it often gets overlooked in our crowded garden.
Victoria Lynette is a good grower, but not my favorite flower.
More to come . . .sherrygirl zone5 N il thanked hoosier_nan (IN z5b/6a)- 4 years agolast modified: 4 years ago
Well, I lost my third post today. Trying again for the last time.
The flower of Vintage Velvet is lovely, but I don't think it likes our climate.
Vision of Glory (if that is what it really is) is never as intensely colored as its picture in the AHS database.
Viva Pinata makes a nice clump.
Volcano Queen is a beautiful flower, but it's not a very good grower.
That's all for me.Nancy

Shive .........Venetian Pools and Violet Saberwing are my fav's of yours. I just added Violet Saberwing in my gardens this past season ......so nice to see what I can possibly expect to view in my garden this year .
Celeste ......I can't get over how different our Vatican City images are .
Brad I really like your Vt Fondly Kin and Vintage Wine and wow those oranges are brilliant !
