N daylilies 2021
Let’s see your N daylilies today.
Quote of the day: “ I have wondered at times what the Ten Commandments would have looked like if Moses had run them through the US Congress.”
just a few N’s for me.
Night Embers had a really good season, too many daylilies here did not.
Night Moves has taken longer to establish. I do like the velvety blooms.
Nosferatu an oldie but a recent edition here.
Northwind Dancer, a lovely late bloom. It’s been slow to establish here because I’ve moved it twice in three season. I needed to stake some of the scapes, has this been a problem for any of you?

No Way Jose. Needs a bit more vigor, but the color, form are beautiful. I've never had one that wasn't doubled:
A pastel sunset orange I saw at the nursery. So pretty. I had to have it. Will see how it performs this year.New Tangerine Twist:

Best Pink Daylilies of 2021
Comments (43)Mantis, some of the pinks I showed are new for me this year and I can't comment much on performance.....but I will try to take the time to give my evaluations from now on since I agree with you that it's helpful. I was rushing to get the photos up. As for Pinewood Strawberry Moon, I wanted to get it and found it after much searching. Strangely, it went completely dormant and underground in September so I hope I didn't lose it. I did get it's pollen and have several crosses with it to start over the winter and sell. For a new plant, it bloomed very well and seemed vigorous so I don't know what happened. As for Boss Hogg, it is fairly new and taking it's sweet time doing much, just like RFK. Both started as single fans and RFK is still a single fan going into it's 3rd year. I've moved it twice hoping that would help. I'm frustrated by it's lack of vigor and increase. Boss Hogg bloomed ok but all the foliage you see in the photo is actually from plants around it. It isn't much of a plant yet....See MoreBest Red Daylilies of 2021
Comments (31)This post didn't work yesterday. Trying again, hope I can read what I wrote yesterday.. Favorites: Debra: Diver Down, Kara Louise, Dancing Flamingo kid Maryl: Acquire the Fire. Mine performs the same as yours, wonderfully. Sherry: Red Volunteer. It is indeed good for a shady area. Kate: Christmas Greeting, showy noid. Celeste--Marietta Warrior, Scarlett Pansy, Kenora Wildfire. David: Fire on the Mt. Persian Ruby. Nancy, Mama Drams, Insider Trading. Brave World Bombay Silk, and excellent flower in every way. Cherry Treat, finally after many years had a good year. Worth the wait, what a color! Cherry Cheeks Christmas Day. Always well budded, colorfast.

Comments (13)David - The Ultimate Illusion has a very unique pattern. Thanks for posting it. Nan - Your Curious Cutie seedlings are beautiful! I have a lot more patterned daylilies. I'll show a few more, and some of my patterned seedlings. Rainbow Maker is a strong grower and a good rebloomer. Facemaker didn't do much this year, but I it didn't get in the ground until late October. I hope it will have more buds next year when it's more settled. Bragging Rights has a very large bloom, but the scapes were short and it didn't have many buds. I hope it will do better when I get it out of a pot and in to the ground. This is my favorite seedling from the cross of Aztec Headdress x Banded Broadbill. It has a 7-inch bloom and rebloomed this time. Another patterned seedling I like is Dragonfly Dawn x Bowtie Affair. This was its first year to bloom, and it had bud counts in the mid teens and rebloomed. This one is (Redefined Design x Blue Eyed Bandit) x (Palace Garden Beauty x Karelia) - First-time bloomer that also rebloomed. Texas Blue Eyes x Violet Tranquility - This one is a four-year-old with bud counts in the 20s, but it's a slow multiplier. Cowgirl Spurs X Stinger (Palace Garden Beauty x Karelia) x This Longing #1 Two others from the cross of (PGB x Karelia) X This Longing: Debra...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 More

3 years agoSherry, Night Moves has beautiful color! And yes, our Northwind Dancer's scapes tend to lean. We love it though.
Maryl, No Way Jose is lovely. Bob would like that one. He just bought a new orange double from Gossard. We have grown New Tangerine Twist for years and love it. We have gotten a lot of nice seedlings from it, maybe even an introduction or two in the future.
Kay, I love No Boys Allowed. I love the form, color and the watermark. Your New Paradigm has wonderful color. The eye on ours was always washed out (a trait I don't like) so we got rid of it.
I don't have too many N's to show.
Naughty by Nature is our newest from Richard Norris. It has been rather slow to start, probably because it was planted in July when it was very hot.
New Flame is one I picked out for 5 bucks. It always seems to be rather splotchy and we have better ones that are a similar color so it will leave the garden this season.
Now and Zen is one that got overlooked (in a bed that was overgrown with weeds. It's a small flower and I can't decide if I should keep it or let it go.
Now or Never is a DeVito daylily that has done well for us. We like the color on this one.
That's all for me.Nancy

3 years agolast modified: 3 years agoKay, how has your Navajo Pony been? New Paradigm was not good here--same as Hoosier Nan's experience. It did multiply though. I see that a lot of people have hybridized with it, including Korth. I did add No Boys Allowed, but Debra has warned that the bud count is not great. New Tangerine Twist is a pleasing blend and has a few teeth I see.
Nelson Mandela --has been a bit slow
Navajo Princess --not a large flower
Natalie Anotinette --a Stamile that survives, but limited bud count
Native Reflection --beautiful eye. Like most in its color range, not fond of mid-day sun.
Night Wings --still one of the darkest
Neon Flamingo --as many have noted, the bud count leaves much to be desired.
Natty Man --still a young plant
Navajo Pony --reblooms. Stems may be weak.
Navajo Warrior

3 years agoHere are my Ns
Navajo Pony: Love the bloom. The scapes were not very strong the first couple of years, but it now holds the blooms without any leaning.
New Covenant: It is this saturated.
Night Shift: Love the color on this one. I wish it was taller.

3 years agoI don't have many Ns, so this should be quick.
Navajo Pony
Navel Assault - I always like the bright blooms and it usually reblooms here
Neon Flamingo
No Boys Allowed - last summer were it's first blooms
Not Guilty - hard to get to during bloom season, I don't have any great pics of it
And two Ns I had at some point...
North Wind Drifter - was a bonus and pink, so didn't keep
Northern Splendor - was a bonus, beautiful but pink so it didn't stay

Kay & Debra No Boys Allowed is lovely.
hoosier_nan Naughty By Nature is an interesting colour.

Nancy et al Navajo Pony is another beauty.
Night Beacon is my only N and not the best pic this year, so hot & dry.

3 years agolast modified: 3 years agoMy Internet has been down for a week . Service guy finally showed up and I am up and running again after they replaced the radio , wire and modem ! Talk about a complete failure of equipment !
So now I will try to catch up . I still havent got all my images labelled so will post what few I do have labelled . One of my fav's has got to be Navajo Princess. Beautiful clear colors on this daylily .....no muddying of colors at all.
Nutmeg Elf just starting to bloom . It seems I didnt get back to photographing this plant later as more blooms opened. Not sure why .
