Favorite Toothy Daylilies of 2020
Post your daylilies with toothy edges here. The next category will be color changers.
Stinger is one that really improved its performance this year. It increased fans for the first time in several years and rebloomed.
Skater had a great year too, even though the scapes were shorter than usual.
Absolute Ripper finally clumped up and bloomed well.
White Tooth was a great pod setter and a great rebloomer.
Spacecoast NIght Vision had an off year and didn't rebloom this time.
Violet Victory
Razor Sharp is always a favorite.
Betty Bush is my favorite red toothy.
Buddy's Victoria Jade had some amazing groups of flowers this year.

3 years agoOne toothy daylily for me, Buzz Saw.
Toothy daylilies are my least favorite. I got Buzz Saw because I wanted a white with a yellow edge.

3 years agolast modified: 3 years agoUntil recently I wasn't that interested in 'toothy' daylilies. But my tastes are always evolving and I've come to appreciate them and will be adding more since I have so few. Debra, those are really pretty, especially Razor Sharp and Absolute Ripper. I hope hoosiernan shares her vast collection with us!

Favorite Pink Daylilies from 2020
Comments (52)Brad you are absolutely correct . Thanks for pointing that out . I have removed the image from the post . It is no doubt a result of either my dogs tearing up the tag and someone just plunking one where ever or tag was chewed up with the lawnmower and hubby found a loose tag and put it there . I will have to dig the plant up come spring as I have a name tag planted under every plant so I dont end up with a noid as a result of any mishap . I learned my lesson the hard way years ago so now I put a tag under a plant , plant tag in the ground at 3 oclock when facing the plant and the tag that you see as you walk along the gardens....See MoreFavorite Orange Daylilies of 2020
Comments (39)I had full intentions of commenting on each individuals blooms but not sure how to do it when there are soooooo many beauties being shown . Some that stood out for me are Sherry's Peach Pizzazz, Gasping for Breath from LilyKate's garden , Celete's WALTER'S TANGO and Brad's noid really grabbed my attention ( love the shape of the bloom ) , Debra's Ethel Bucola , MaryL's Glowing Quasar ......I could go on and on but I would be here forever.

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 Moreshive
3 years agolast modified: 3 years agoSherry - I grew Buzz Saw for several years in a pot. It was one that I gave away two summers ago. It is a very hardy plant.
I do really like toothy cultivars - especially those with white or cream teeth. Here are some more from my garden:
Armed to the Teeth
Bat King
Maney Augustine
Men in Black
Cowgirl Spurs, formerly The Thing That Ate the Seedling Bed
Gypsy Cats has a few teeth and claws, although not a full set

3 years agolast modified: 3 years agoDebra, it's always nice to see your toothies. I don't think we can grow some that you do. Betty Bush is one that catches my eye and since the hybridizer is from the north, we can probably grow that one. It's always nice to see your intros here. That clump shot of Gypsy Cats is a wow!
Sherry, Buzz Saw has been in our garden for several years. It's not as tall as we like them, but it is reliable.
Celeste, Glowing Quasar is one we particularly like. Vampire Fish is one I need to get a hold of. A friend offered us a piece last summer, but I couldn't stand for him to dig out a piece right before it was to bloom.
We love the teeth and grow many varieties. These are just the ones I photographed this summer.
Bass Gibson is one of our favorites.
Bengali is new to the garden and I'm afraid it's a bit tender. We were looking for teeth daylilies with eyes so we bought it, hoping to breed with it.
Some of James Hall's intros are tender here, but Buddy's Pinkie has done well so far.
Carnosaur is in its second year here. We have some seeds to plant from it this January.
Deadliest Catch is another that is heavily used in breeding, because it's orange and because it's a late bloomer.
I'd better not press my luck. My track record with Houzz has not been good recently.More to come . . .

3 years agolast modified: 3 years agoWell, my second post disappeared. Maybe it will show up in a little while like it did the other day after I had reposted.
Maynard Max is a great grower. It was bred here in Indiana by a friend.
Odontos is one of our Canadian plants (a bonus from Daniel Matton). It produces a lot of flowers.
Oklahoma Sand Burr has lots of teeth on the sepals.
Rosie Cotton's Ribbons was a deeper color with larger flower this past season. It's amazing how these seedlings keep developing. Rosie first bloomed in 2011 and is still getting better.
Ruffled Strawberry Parfait is one of our best breeders. It sets seeds well and we like the teeth and the fact that it is a late blooming daylily. It is the parent of many toothy daylilies.
More to come . . .hoosier_nan (IN z5b/6a)
3 years agoSaber Tooth Tiger is an incredible grower but it will not set seeds for me. The pollen is good though. Unfortunately, it often stamps its offspring with its looks (and I am not really a fan, but Bob is). We did get a different look when we crossed it with Tropical Fusion and I think we might have an intro out of them.
Sihir is another of the Canadian intros from Daniel Matton. I really like this one.
Terrorsaur is a late bloomer. It was very small when we planted it (a small single fan planted too late), but I had to get my hands on it. I look the chance because I think Jamie Gossard was asking $150 for it.
The Bride of Dracula is one of our favorite orange toothies. It's not short, and it's very floriferous--fertile too. What more could you ask?
I'll put a few seedlings in the next post.hoosier_nan (IN z5b/6a)
3 years agoI like the fine teeth and the bold eye of this seedling. It is Bodacious Bite X (My Friend Mary Jane X Crimson Stories)
We hope this one is a future intro. I doesn't show the bud count we want yet, but we have seen seedlings dramatically improve. This is Dragon Fang X Horns.
This is Pineapple Bites X The Bride of Dracula. It look a lot like the pollen parent but I think the petals are broader and the sepals are toothier.
This is Ruffled Strawberry Parfait X Extreme Tangerine. The pollen parent is one of our intros for 2021. The name has been accepted by the registrar. This seedling is a late bloomer. We are really excited about it and one of its siblings.
This is Sonoran Desert Rose X Crimson Stories. It might have more bear claws than it has teeth.
A couple more to come . . .
hoosier_nan (IN z5b/6a)
3 years agoThis is Susan Ruoff X Ruffled Strawberry Parfait.
We hope this one will be an intro (and will be named for our son-in-law). This Lady Stephanie Victoria Redding X Rosy Spiketail. It is a late bloomer.
If my second post doesn't show up, I'll have to repost it.
These are just the tip of the iceberg. We love teeth and have many more.Nancy

3 years agoMy favorite toothy seedling probably won't ever have enough buds to register. The first year it bloomed, it only had four buds, and last year it had 8 buds on one scape and 9 on the other. But I'll always keep it around because it's so pretty.
Razor Sharp x Spacecoast Night Vision
After a particularly cool night, this is what it did. The petals got darker as the temperature rose.

God Save the Queen is one that only has a few teeth on the white edges for me, but it made a beautiful clump last year.

3 years agoI don't have many toothy ones, but I do like them, the longer the teeth the better! Don't know if Houzz will let me post but will give it another try
Coach's Magic Man
Shark Infested Waters
I do have a couple more, but Houzz is not cooperating wellshive
3 years agoNancy - I do like the looks of Coach's Magic Man. I'm very fond of all purples with teeth. Shark Infested Waters is a pretty red. Are the teeth white on that one?
I have one more toothy cultivar that I forgot previous times, probably because it's my least favorite. But it is a great performer and usually has 20 buds or more.
Cretaceous Crunch
I do have a sort of pretty seedling out of it that has a few teeth on the edge.
Cretaceous Crunch x Julie Newmar
