J daylilies 2021
It’s Monday, it’s J daylily day.
Funny quote for today: “When I die, I want to die like my grandfather who died peacefully in his sleep, not screaming like all the passengers in his car.”
Jolyene Nichole a good small daylily here.
Joan Derifield is still getting established here.
Thats all for me.

3 years agoBoy Sherry. Not only are you funny, but your two daylilies are gorgeous. Great shots. The petal structure is so clear. Marvelous daylilies, great pictures.........I'll give a shot of my two J's.
The white I judge all other white daylilies by - JOAN SENIOR:
Next is an oddity of a new for me daylily Jerry Murphy. Is this a fused blossom or a poly? Hummmmmmm:

Comments (20)I am coming late to this party. I am having trouble with my laptop. It keeps shutting down. It only happens when I'm on the internet. Bob intended to take it into the shop after lunch today, but he forgot. Hopefully I can post a few before it shuts down again. Eyed and edged daylilies are a favorite here. Some of these have partial edges. I wasn't sure where to put them so I put them here. This is Bucklebury Ferry, one of our intros. It just has a partial edge. I was hoping for a bigger edge like its parent Sam Abell, but it wasn't to be. Cherry Pie a la Mode also has a partial edge. The white and purple flower in the background is the pollen parent of Cherry Pie. It is Empire of Dawn and Dusk. Eggplant Luminosity definately has an edge. Happy Place is one we haven't had too long. I hope to use it in breeding red and yellow daylilies. Merry Moppet has one serious flaw. It often doesn't open well. It has been used a lot in our breeding of small tets. I'll put the rest in the next comment....See MoreBest Edge-No-Eye Daylilies of 2021
Comments (9)Brad - Big Smile definitely goes in this category. I think Mediterranean Sailor has a watermark and would not go here. Celeste - Your picture of Frosted Vintage Ruffles is so pretty. I used to have that one. Grubs completely devoured it , along with many others ENO's I used to grow. I think Tina's Siren Song is watermarked daylily rather than an ENO. It's very pretty though. Here are some I used to have, just as examples: Isle of Skye Crimson Edgings Debra...See MoreBest Watermarked Daylilies of 2021
Comments (15)David - That's a gorgeous photo of Black Falcon Ritual! Thanks for posting Joan Derifield. I don't think I got a photo of mine this year. Fabuous Frieda catches my eye too! Here are a few more of my watermarked ones that I have not yet posted. I Lava You - I failed to post this one in the red thread even though it was one of my best performers last year. It had super branching, bud counts around 20 and strong rebloom. Red Heartthrob bloomed very early on short scapes. The blooms were gorgeous. This one is a good multiplier. Roaring Rapids Integrated Logistics I forgot to post Wild Red Heart in the bitones and bicolors, so I'll post it here. It had a bud count in the high teens and strong rebloom this season. Rosy Rhino had a long bloom season. Browns Ferry Queen of Hearts had its best season ever, with lots of instant rebloom this time. Four No Trump was a first time bloomer with a low bud count. I hope it will improve its performance next year. Debra...See More

3 years agolast modified: 3 years agoSherry, I like you funny thought got the day. Jolyene Nichole is such a pretty one, and Maryl, that orange is such a gorgeous color; I would be hoping for poly since I always enjoy them.
I have a few Js, but not too many Journey of Magic is a new one and I like the promise of it:
Judge Judy: with clematis:
Jellyroll Morton: Love this one bu prettier after the sepals curve

3 years agoJack's Mischief was new last spring, but still produced some lovely blooms.
I am not sure that Jammin's Lipstick Kisses is hardy enough for our garden, but it was nice last season.
Jerry Hyatt has not done very well for us.
Jovial Ancestors is a vigorous plant with so so flowers.
Jungle Fury has nice flowers, but the plant is on the small side.
The flowers of Just Like Candy were very impressive last season.
That's all for me.Nancy

3 years agoSherry Jocelyn Nicole & Joan Derifield are beauties! I thought you had Joan Senior too. Dark humor, at least Grandpa died peacefully lol!
Maryl that is quite the bloom on Jerry Murphy. Was it the only fused bloom?
Kay they are all lovely but I like Jellyroll Morton. Jellyfish Jealousy has very delicate colouring and I like it too.
Only one J
Janice Brown is a great performer and the last two pics are the normal colouring.

3 years agoThese are the J's in my garden:
Jane Trimmer was new two years ago, but the grubs got to it, and it just bloomed last season. Scapes were short and I was surprised the petals didn't show any of the lavender color they're supposed to have.
Jeanne Deaver's Dream had better bud count than it's had in years. The blooms always open well here and seldom have any spotting.
Joan Derifield
Judy's Jewel is a pretty one. I moved it last year to see if it would increase better.
Julie Newmar was finally its registered height of 32 inches (all but one scape). In the past, it's been about 25 inches high. Now I know that's because grubs were eating on the roots for years.
Jungle Queen performs well for an evergreen.
Jurassic Pink was a gift that I used to hybridize with, but it's usually splotchy so it may not stay around too long. It is a very tall pink with very large blooms.

3 years agolast modified: 3 years agoJohn Karl Seager. Nice cultivar. Would look even nicer if those blooms were the size of many Davissons.
Joshua Slocum --shorter plant with blooms around 5". Good color.
Jackie Canner. Very rich color and has established well. 6.5 inches
Jerry Hyatt. Surprised that Hoosier Nan has had problems with this one. Takes a little while to establish, but quite vigorous.
Jellyroll Morton. Good height, color, vigor.
Just Like Candy. I would like better in a larger flower with better bud count.
Joe the Plumber. Excellent plant scape. Blooms ML in orchid shades
Jungle Jack Joiner has done well here.
Jane Trimmer has been off and on. Last couple of seasons has had renewed vigor, but yes, last year I don't remember any lavender shade in the base color.
Jim's Song is a reliable early-blooming red.
Jessica Lynn Bell last season had shorter scapes than before (though not in foliage). Not clear whether it is a one-season matter or whether it is beginning a decline that some evergreens go through.
Jan Zoo is a later bloomer with striking orange-red blooms.

3 years agolast modified: 3 years agoI have had Jane Trimmer for many years. In my earlier pictures, it had more of a lavender base. Could be the weather, as I don't recall its having the light lavender base even in early morning this year. Of course, low light pictures will produce more blue purple. The lavender is very light in any case; certainly beige this past year.
Sometimes, evergreen cultivars will do well the first few years and then decline, usually not actually dying, but having sparse bloom and low scapes. Sometimes, the plant produces a lot of small fans. Your Lee's Loss may fit this situation, but perhaps late spring freezes affected things. In the case of Jane Trimmer, for a couple of years, it didn't perform well, but has picked up again. There are better cultivars in this color range for this area.
I think this older pic is more typical of Jane Trimmer. I have pics with even more lavender in years back, but they may have been taken in low light.
JT Davis is beautiful, but not a great northern plant here (too short and also can be inconsistent).
My Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis is lovely, but has been on short scapes for two years.
I look forward to seeing Jubilee Ball bloom this coming year.sherrygirl zone5 N il thanked mantis__ohdaylilybedmaker

J.T. Davis: Slow to increase but the blooms are outstanding.
JELLYFISH JEALOUSY: Awesome plant. The blooms appear to float in the air. Long bloom season for this one.
Janet Grebus Murphy: A nice edge no eye out of Beautiful Edgings.
More to follow.

3 years agoStill trying [not so successfully] to get caught up. Joe the Plumber & Jellyroll Morton are two that are real stand outs! Jellyroll especially has always caught my attention.
Jack Sprat. Has great color and is vigorous but has one issue: when disturbed [split or something] takes several years to get going again, even if I just work hard to take a piece off of one side and seem not to disturb the rest of it.
Joan Senior. Not sure why the camera brought out so much yellow in the throat, but still pretty.
Jolyene Nichole poly
Judge Roy Bean. It is actually more of a cinnamon color.
