W daylilies 2021
Today it’s time to show your W daylilies.
Quote of the day: “ A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.”
Wanda Lou Lovelyhas been here a few years and has done well enough to stay.
Witches Stick is a nice late season bloomer, decent performer here.
When Pigs Fly was a bonus, another Selman daylily that’s been slow to establish. The blooms are big on a tall plant. it had some splotchiness last season.
Wide Wide World, lovely color on this oldie, the color isn’t t captured correctly in photos.
When My Sweetheart Returns is a lovely smaller daylily. It has had good bud count and multiplied nicely.
Woman at the Well is getting established here.
Winifred Esther was added last summer and had a few blooms. I hope it does well this season.

One of my favorite reds. This was taken in the late PM when the temperature was 97 degrees:
Wayah Valley:
One of my oldest daylilies, bought from the Wayside Catalog because of the funny name (named after a fish's mouth) and because they said it was purple. In our climate it can look closer to purple then some others called purple which I grown since.Wayside Guppy Gums:
My favorite Bennett and a nice true pink.Wild Cherry Wine:

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 Yellow Daylilies of 2021
Comments (27)I don't pay much attention to yellows - except that I notice how great they look with purples. The ones that do captivate me have either an amazing shape or a great edge. Those that captivated me on this thread include: Amazing Shapes: Simplicity in Motion, Desert Icicle, Olfactory Evidence and Living in Amsterdam. Great Edges: Golden Child, Golden Hibiscus and Butter Cream. Great photo composition: Maryl's Lisa Apps Sybrandt Here's one more of my yellows that always does well: Sweeten Creek is a reliable rebloomer.

Comments (12)Will try again for more.... This is one of my one year old seedlings. A cross of 'Deepwater Horizon' x 'Allie Katt' Earlier blooms were a smoky purple blend While later it took on brown tones.... RASPBERRY SUEDE It isn't black, it isn't red, it isn't purple.....more likely a combo of all 3 TEDDY BEARS PICNIC Everyone who grows this one knows it can range in color. Sometimes it's purple, sometimes it's tan or brown, sometimes it's a blend PISTACHIO MOON Some days it will look pale lavender and other times nearly white a strange colored seedling out of 'Green Token' ADDIS ABABA Not truly red, but not truly pink......registered as a rose violet red blend...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 agoHere are my Ws:
Wesley Lee Kirby: Vigorousgrower and pumps out the blooms.
Women Seeking Men: Tall and has wonderful blooms. I need to hybridize with it, as it is reportedly a good parent. Makes huge fans so give it space.
WOODSIDE LUSTRE: Nice small red bloom.
WEBSTER'S PINK WONDER: A great plant. Blooms are huge. Makes a statement in the garden.
Widow's Walk: A nice smokey purple. It is relatively new, so it is getting established.
WOODSIDE ROMANCE: A true pink to my eye. I remember seeing this pictured on the front of Mr. Apps catalog when I first got into daylilies over 30 years ago and immediately faling in love with it.
WYATT'S CAMEO: My kids like to refer to this one as being tie dyed.
WOLVERINE with Isabelle Rose in the background. Has been a little slow in getting established. It was a single fan 3 years ago.
WALKING IN BEAUTY: I moved an entire bed and thought that I had gotten rid of this one since it was not performing very well. I missed a piece and am glad I did. I realy do like this one and its performance has improved.
WREN'S SONG: This is a beautiful pink on tall scapes.
WILLOW DEAN SMITH: Beautiful bloom ona good plant.
WILD CHERRY WINE: One of my favorite pinks by Mr. Bennett.
Wisest of Wizards: An oldie but a goodie. A wonderful parent to many.
That is all for me.

Wall Of Fire
Water Drops
Wayne's World
What's Up Down South
Whistler's Sister
White Eyes Pink Dragon - since I really like this one, I am surprised by how few pictures I have of it - I think because it starts blooming later here and it's not in my big bed
Winter Treasure
Wispy Rays - the blooms make me happy
Frogs like it too! :)
Will post another group sooner or later...sherrygirl zone5 N il thanked Laura twixanddud - SE MI - 5bLaura twixanddud - SE MI - 5b
3 years agoWoman At The Well - got in fall 2019, is still getting established here. Didn't see any pretty blooms last summer. It did rebloom.
Works For Me - I divided it last year, hopefully it bounces back okay this summer
Worlds Collide
Wyatt's Cameo - I got this before him, but I have a dog named Wyatt :)
Here's a pic of some Wyatt's Cameo scapes, since I have the picture I thought I'd share. I don't recall why I took it.
TGIF!!! One more work day to go. Have a great weekend!sherrygirl zone5 N il thanked Laura twixanddud - SE MI - 5bsherrygirl zone5 N il

3 years agolast modified: 3 years agoSherry - Wanda Lou Lovely is indeed lovely!
Maryl and David - I always enjoy seeing Wild Cherry Wine.
Larua - Works for Me is such a nice clump!
kay - Sorry to hear about the monitor accident and another frustrating day with Houzz.
Wall of Fire had a good season last year, and rebloomed for the first time since I got it planted in the ground.
Wheel of Time - It was so cool during the first few weeks of last season that hardly any of the blooms on Wheel of Time opened properly.
White Tooth is one of my favorite toothy cultivars. It always performs well and reblooms, but it has never been the registered height.
Woman in Red was new last year and didn't have many buds. I look forward to seeing what it can do this season.
Westbourne Little Lamb took a couple years off blooming, but seemed to do well last season. Another one that's never been the registered height.
Willow Dean Smith doesn't perform as well as it used too, now that it's in too much shade.
White Eyes Pink Dragon
Walk in the Clouds
Wigglesworth
Wizard's Wish is always a nice late.

3 years agolast modified: 3 years agoMy Willow Dean Smith is also less floriferous. Perhaps needs to be divided.
Wild Red Heart --quite reliable here
Whistler's Sister --has made a good display when established
When You Get to Asheville --well budded for a Selman
Worlds Collide
White Perfection
Wild Cherry Wine
Westbourne Good Old Days
Wispy Rays --it has had its off years
Wolverine --growing strongly now. I suspect that the single-fan start is the reason for David's slowness with this one.
Wind in the Rigging
Wide-Eyed Wallie
Wikileaks --short
Winter Treasure --moderate to slow increase
Works for Me --nice earlier one. Somewhat limited in bud count.
Wesley's Masterpiece --wonderful color, but not a strong plant here.
Woodside Romance --looked very good here last year (about 5 inches)
Web of Intrigue --earlier
White Chocolate
Wall of Fire --intense color. Some blooms funky.

3 years agolast modified: 3 years agoWell, I posted my W's yesterday, but like Kay's the post disappeared.
There are so many W's it is hard to mention just a few. I love Wild Red Heart and Wall of Fire. Wild Cherry Wine is such a lovely pink. I love Westbourne Little Lamb. Wolverine is a great grower for us even though we load it down with pods every year. It is very fertile.
Woodchopper's Ball is an odd daylily--60 inches tall with a four inch flower.
Here is our Wolverine.
The photo makes Wishful Dreaming brighter than it really is. I am not a fan of this one. The pattern is not very pronounced.
The color is not right on Wide Wide World. Its color is some of the most luscious in the garden in my opinion.
Wickedly Wild and Wonderful does not get to its published stats in height, but it blooms well every year. It's an early season bloomer.
I know everyone loves White Eyes, Pink Dragon, but I have not been overly impressed with it.
More to come . . .sherrygirl zone5 N il thanked hoosier_nan (IN z5b/6a)hoosier_nan (IN z5b/6a)
3 years agoWhiskered Tree Swift has done relatively well for a Lambertson. We love his daylilies but they are generally tender here. This well is doing fine.
Wandering Werribee is one of our favorites.
Westbourne Frill and Thrills was one of Mary Jane Meadows' later ones. We were lucky to get it before she passed.
That's all for me.Nancy

3 years agolast modified: 3 years agoI'm still behind! Lots of pretties above. White Eyes Pink Dragon is among my favorites. Wall of Fire caught my eye in the various posts above. Going to post before the new internet company comes to switch everything over. I will save money and drastically increase the speed!
Webster's Pink Wonder. It's never been as dark as its first year when I brought it home from Dicks. Doesn't look as dark as David's above either; I still enjoy it.
Westbourne Good Old Days
Wilson Spider
Wind Frills
Woodside Amethyst
That's all of my Ws.
