I daylilies 2021
Let’s see your I daylilies, only a few for me.
Quote of the day: “You know you’re getting old when you stoop to tie your shoelaces and wonder what else you could do when you’re down there”...........George Burns
Indian Giver had a great season. it’s in all day sun after moving it in spring of 2019. It rebloomed for me last season.
Itza Pink Teddy is a great all around performer here. I had rebloom and it won the bud count in 2019. 2020 season wasn’t quite as good. Less than stellar blooming was common last season for a lot of my daylilies.
I was thinking about putting ICE Carnival on the chopping block. It’s one of only two whites I have and realized this past season that it starts blooming when my mids are almost finished. It got a reprieve till I find something that fits the same mold.

C daylilies 2021
Comments (43)Still playing catch-up. Here's a list of what especially struck me above. First, it was cool to open up to Cat Dancer. It's been on my list for years, and many places sell it for only 5. Why don't I have it? And your Ciel D'or picture really does get the details, Sherry. Maryl, Coral Corduroy is very pretty. Great color. Laura, Capt. Noodles, Classy columbus are nice, Kay Crystalline Butterfly, and Heather Cobraska Necktie. Of course there are great ones that many have like Claudine, Catastrophie Waitress and Coral Majority. Carman Renee Castle Pinkney Catastrophie Waitress Chance Encounter Cherry Cheeks Cherry Treat is a treat in 2 senses of the name: treat as in great color, and treat as in when I get a nice bloom. But it stays despite low bud count and being splotchy very often. more to come...See MoreD daylilies 2021
Comments (29)I am so far behind. I am awestruck at how many nice d daylilies there are. Kate, that is a great snowman!!!!!! Here's a few I especially liked: Sherry-Devine Design; David-Dracula; Mantis, Dawn of Aquarius & Dark Bat; Kay-desperate House Cats; Pam-Dad's Pyrotechnics; Debra-Dancing Flamingo, Dearest Valentine; Heather-Dragon Fire Breath; Nancy-I'm with Bob on Golden Glow; and Kate, wow a lot I really like. I narrowed it down to Deep Waters and Dr. McGregor's Garden. Great color schemes and eyes. I don't recall seeing them before but they are striking. Do the Twist. Desert Icicle Daveo Holeman. So pretty. Too bad it is so short and poorly budded. I moved it to by itself beside the trash bin. It works. Brad...See MoreT daylilies 2021
Comments (39)Heather, my experience with Thomas Tew has been entirely different! It quickly became one of my “suitcase” lilies. Every year the very first bloom has a beige look to it but all others after that are a creamy white. The purple is a deep velvety purple with none of the red tones Debra’s seems to have. It reblooms at least three times every year and the blooms range from 6-7 inches. This goes to show how different plant habit and colors can be in different gardens. I say this not to recommend one way or the other but to give an anecdotal record of this plant in my garden. This is my favorite picture of it In my yard In May. This is it on rebloom last year. I do notice more of the red tones on these in 100 degree heat in August!! This sorta reminds me of a couple of years ago when Laura posted pictures of her garden tours. She posted Entwined in the Vine and it was a muddy mauve look that I have seen on other pictures of it. In my garden (and Kay’s and Debra’s as well I think) it has gorgeous lavender and purple shades. I would never buy it if it was muddy! So glad that is not the case here!!...See MoreBest Budded Registered Daylilies of 2021
Comments (32)I realized I never got back to add the bud count fir Hakuna Matata. It is still blooming, and still getting multiple blooms every day, but the end is near. It has been blooming just I very a month now. The 5 best scapes, out of 9, were 41, 42, 46, 49, and, wait for it... 55. I have never had a plant bloom so well. I rarely have plants meet their bud count, much less exceed. Maybe it is location, Entwined in the Vine is pretty close, and had higher bud counts. There are several other daylilies near though that bloom well, but not like this. Wish the blooms were a little larger. It sets pods easily. I started seeds last winter, but stuff came up and they did not survive my neglect, but the seeds had really good germination....See More

3 years agoIndian Giver looks great in your clump, Sherry, and your Indian Ripple has lovely Colors, Debra. I have a few I plants although I whined about some of them not doing well last year due to the Japanese Maple pulling out nutrients.

3 years agolast modified: 3 years agoMaryl - I love Ice Cream Emperor, but it is an evergreen that probably wouldn't fare well in a pot. It always opens well here and is a terrific rebloomer.
Kay - It's good to see Integrated Logistics! I forgot about that one.
Integrated Logistics
Infinity & Beyond was new last year and showed some nice patternns in the early season.
I also forgot I Lava You, last year's Stout Medal winner.
Innocent Discovery only had a couple of blooms before it was wiped out by the deer.
Inca Prince
Indy Hustler is a nice late one!

3 years agoIndian Giver was one of the first we bought but it didn't stay here long. It was pretty, but in our garden, its performance was lacking--too short and not very good substance.
Itza Pink Teddy was here for several years (it was a bonus) but the color of ours wasn't as pretty as Sherry's so it said bye bye too.
I really like the color of Indian Ripple and Indigo Edge.
I have only a few to share.
I Dreamed a Dream is a small one, about 3.5 inches. You can see we are trying to breed with it since I picked the anthers. I really wish I would get the picture before I pick the anthers. The color is not as melon as its registration picture shows, but it fairly new and in too much shade. Maybe it will get better.
I Lava You was recently moved after being in its first spot for only one year. I can't wait for it to get to clump strength to see how this Stout Medal winner will perform for us.
Impassioned was new last spring and I am really excited about this one.
Interview with a Vampire went into a decline after I put too many pods on it one year, but it is beginning to recover.
Irish Vampire Fangs almost died its first season but is beginning to bounce back nicely. I think the photo makes the color prettier than it actually is.
That's all for me.Nancy

Inca Puzzle has managed to stay here despite its shortness.

Impassioned looks promising, but will see what it is at clump strength.
Inimitable is lovely but slow growing.
Ida Mae Munson is a large and lovely pastel.
In My Pink High Heels provides welcome earlier bloom with nicely spaced flowers.
Imperial Empress is an early-blooming Munson.
Indian Giver is short, but has stayed.
In the Heart of It All can give a lot of large flowers, with rebloom, in an intense rose.
Imperial Lemon is a strong older yellow. Bud count is not large. It does take more space than I would like.
Isabelle Rose A remarkable cultivar with sturdy stems and striking blooms.

INDIAN GIVER: No need to add to what others have said about this one.
INQUIRE WITHIN: As a poly. I love the subtle violet blue eye.
IN HIGH REGARD: One of the prettiest in the mid-late garden. I love the simplicity of the bloom and the color combination.
More to follow.

INDY SHOCKER: I love this red one but it is difficult to photograph. This is one of the better photos, but it still does not capture the true color of this one.
IRON WARRIOR: A Bud Bennett intro. I could not believe it when I saw this bloom. It is huge and a this color..
ISABELLE ROSE: Wonderful near white. I have set many pods on this one and used it pollen.

3 years agoWow Sherry what great clump of Indian Giver! Itza Pink Teddy Bear is terrific too. I am finally back on Gardenweb instead of Houzz, what a difference being able to see full photos without clicking.
Debra I'm Gonna Love You Through It is particularly striking.
Kay love that Indigo Edge & Island Time.
Nancy love your & Debra's pic of I Lava You. Impassioned is really lovely.
mantis Impressionist Sky is gorgeous. Another great clump of Indian Giver.
David Inquire Within is special & Iron Warrior is fabulous. Love those green throated pinks.
Ikebana Star is my only I.

3 years agoI just have a couple of minutes so I thought I'd do a quick check. Wow, on I already. I got the new power supply for my computer and still not working. It must be the motherboard, which is still under warranty. But it will take some time.
Lots of great I's. Integrated Logistics is a real stand out.
I remembered I have some pictures on my camera, but unlabeled. I was able to find one I,

Note the burnt grass in the image above and the scrawny scape on this daylilies .....If we only had had some rain
The difference in the colors in this early/mid bloom above and later in the season was dramatic
