Victoria Grace: Bright strawberry colored bloom.
Venus Flytrap: A nice toothy edged plant.
VICTORIAN GARDEN STAR BRIGH: This is a great plant. There is nothing else like it in my garden. Bela Lugosi is one of its parents.
VESUVIAN: An older Benz red. This one has a strong velvety appearance in the garden.
VERTICAL HORIZON: This is an outstanding plant. A parent to many. I should use it more often.
Vision Seeker: A mike Derrow intro. This is a bloom machine and the scapes are rather tall.
Vatican City
VICTORIAN GARDEN OH HAPPY DAY: Nice bloom on a plant that is not very vigorous in my garden.
Here are two seedlings out of VICTORIAN ACE x BOUNDLESS BEAUTY
That is all for me.

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 Purple Daylilies of 2021
Comments (37)Houzz does not seem to want to post my pictures, maybe it will let me just write a little bit I have All of My Love to You, can't wait it mine looks like that, Debra. I have debated before on getting Reckless Girls but always talk myself out of it, but what a clump! Bluegrass Shadows looks so pretty, but I think I heard it does not grow that well? Love your Laura Harwood, Sherry. Mine did well this year, 2nd year I think for me. Nancy, Absolute Ripper is another I keep talking myself out of, but regretting that now. Man Eating Bat looks great Kate, I have always liked the look of Larry's Obsession, but it died for me and I have not tried it again. I got Love Struck this fall, hope mine survives. Garden Butterfly is gorgeous Celeste, Thunder Glow was on my wish list, but you are not the only one who mentioned splotches, so it quickly came off. Love Olly Olly Oxen free and Claudine's Charm. Claudine died last year, I may replace that on. I think a big mole dug under it. Brad, Kirsten's Corsage always looks good for you, and I like Liberty Banner David, Mystery of the Ages is gorgeous I will see if Houzz will let me post a few pictures by editing Back Scratcher has done well for me Blue Voodoo has done really well, expecially since it is really crowded by another plant. I know I took better pictures than this one Enduring Freedom always does well, occasionally it splotches but not often since I moved it Coach's Magic Man has increased well in its 2nd season, bloomed and rebloomed both years I have had it. This will b e nice when it becomes a nice clump Filled to Overflowing almost died a couple of years ago, went down to 1 fan, but is a nice clump this year and bloomed over 6 weeks Westbourne Chip off the Old Block is as great as Kay promised, bloomed for almost 2 months with rebloom Green Rainbow Kierabel is a lighter purple with deeper purple in it, so I may have it in the wrong category. It is a great plant though, has multiplied really well and bloomed great Westbourne REvivals does well Make it Snappy did great this year...See MoreFavorite Lavender Daylilies of 2021
Comments (30)BRAD, I guess I shouldn't spoil your anticipation on the seedlings by showing you what that cross gave me.....so I'll show a few other crosses with Spirit of the Dove as parent. It's easy to see her influence in the kids: first year seedling, 'Carmen Renee' x 'Spirit of the Dove' 'Spirit of the Dove' x 'Blue Dolphin' 'Spirit of the Dove' x 'Dream Sequence' sibling seedling 'Spirit of the Dove' x 'Dream Sequence' 'Luna' x 'Spirit of the Dove' This seedling looks exactly like SOTD, the only difference is the bloom is larger, a whopping 9 inches! sibling to the first seedling, 'Carmen Renee' x 'Spirit of the Dove' another seedling 'Spirit of the Dove' x 'Dream Sequence'...See MoreBest Toothy Daylilies of 2021
Comments (16)Debra, WOW Wow! on that first seedling!! Amazing looking flower. Congratulations on some nice seedlings. Nancy, I like your Ruffled Strawberry Parfait x Extreme Tangerine seedling. It is very eye-catching! As for me, toothies are just coming into favor with me. At first I was undecided if I liked them or not but they grew on me. Now I like them quite a lot and the few I acquired this year came late and did not bloom for me because they came from a warmer climate where they had already bloomed. I'm looking forward to next year to see what they will do. These are all I have that bloomed: Absolute Ripper, brand new and a huge bloom on a tiny plant Once and For All, also brand new and didn't have time to get very 'toothy' a toothy seedling of mine, color needs improvement Violet Predator, also brand new and it was late summer/early Fall when it bloomed so too cool for there to be teeth Wild Hair Vampire Fish Thistles and Thorns Ruckus...See More

3 years agolast modified: 3 years agoVenetian Pools is a lovely patterned daylily. Voodoo Dancer is a nice double.
We have many V's but I didn't get photos of many of them last season. Here is what I got.
Vampire Bat is registered as midseason, but for us, it is either mid-late or late.
I need to breed with Vertical Horizon. It is one that gets overlooked in a big tangle of big plants. When I look at the photo, I see the bands of color that I don't notice in the garden.
Vision of Glory has been a major disappointment. The hybridizer registered it as purple, but it has always been pale lavender in our garden. It's short too, which in itself is not a flaw, but it's not what we prefer. On checking my records, I see that we already got rid of it last year.
Vision Seeker has been moved to a new bed so hopefully we will soon see what it can do.
More to come . . .

3 years agoViva Pinata is a good plant with a nice flower, but in the interest of downsizing, it will be going this spring.
Vivian Glass was bred in Louisiana so we are hoping it's hardy here.
Volcanic Eruption was a bonus last spring.
Vorlon Encounter Suit was also a gift from a hybridizer that Bob chats with. I think this one has a really neat shape and I like the dark color. This is definitely a keeper.
That's all for me.Nancy

3 years agoVelvet Throne - Nice big flower, always shorter than registered here. Reliable rebloomer for me.
Victorian Garden Heaven's Applause throws many different looking patterns. It performed very well the first two years I had it, but now it doesn't get as uch sun.
Victorian Garden Emerald Breeze - Large beautiful blooms that hold their color in the hottest temps. It's been a slow multiplier for me.
Venetian Pools shows nice patterns when the temps are cool - less so in very hot temps.
Venus Flytrap is a good grower. I don't particularly like the weird color. I think I'll be selling it this year.
Venus's Fire is a good grower.
Violet Victory has an attractive flower, but the scapes are usually very short in my garden.
Violet Sabrewing has a flower I love. I wish it had a better plant habit here. It's finally multiplying and has taller scapes than the first two years. But the bud count is not what I'd like it to be. It also has failed to rebloom here, despite being regularly watered.

3 years agolast modified: 3 years agoVoila Francois shows signs of tenderness here.
Victorian Lace is a reliable and beautiful performer.
Victoria Gardens Starbright. -- David gave the positives, but I must add that it can be splotchy and can bloom just above the foliage.
Viva Pinata I like a lot
Vulcan Logic can be nice, but some years is off.
Volcano Queen would be nicer if it were taller.
Vision Seeker
Vertical Horizon
Vanilla Gorilla
Vatican City
Vampire Bat --blooms later here

3 years agolast modified: 3 years agoDavid , that is the best photo I have ever seen of VICTORIAN GARDEN STAR BRIGHT . I fell in love with it from the hybridizer's photo . Then never again saw an image of it that looked anything like what the hybridizer's photo looked. So I stopped even thinking about it . Now you have me thinking again of trying to add it here . Wonderful Photo
Vanishing Mist is one I would love to add here ......trying to find it .
Here are my V's
That's all I have labelled .
