B daylilies 2022
Let’s see your B daylilies today.
Quote of the day: I love being married. It is so great to find that one special person you want to annoy for the rest of your life.
Brocaded Gown, a delicate beauty.
Belle Cook blooming in a less than ideal spot.
Banshee Whisper has had great increase in my garden.
Baby Blue Eyes was a bonus. I like the blueish color, doesnt show well here.
Blue Beetle, I really like the bloom. It has been slow to increase.
Boy Crazy has been slow to increase here. I think I’ve moved it too many times.
Buzz Saw is my only toothy daylily.
Bela Lugosi was my bud king last season.
Bluegrass Memories benefits from afternoon shade here.
Buttered Popcorn is blooming in the shade with my hosta.
Before is a lovely early bloomer. it took last season off, this photo is from 2020.

D daylilies 2022
Comments (22)Dark Witch looks interesting. That clump of Double River Wye looks good in front of the Shasta daisy. Ideally, daylilies should be grown amidst other perennials, as Bennett did in his garden. Dance Again is one I haven't noticed before. Desire of Nations is an important hybridizing plant, but has been disappointing as a garden plant. Slow growth and late spring freezes are probably responsible for recent subpar bloom. Dream Sequence, vigorous and showy Dankie --limited bud count, but a softly alluring shade Darker Shade--darker and more purplish, but a difficult shade to capture Duel Zone --a nice bitone, though plant habit is not ideal Drums Along the Mohawk Dennis Russell --a nice plant, though not the quality of Glowing Quasar Dixieland Band has been a consistent and colorful later bloomer in recent years. Deep Dark Secret was nice this past year. The cream pink watermark of Dr. McGregor's Garden is very appealing. Dark Gethsemane --we shall see Drew Hoo looks very promising Dragon Nation is vigorous, used a lot by Mary Baker in hybridizing. Dirty Bastard Not my best picture of Daniel Howard Norris, but the best from this past year....See MorePurple Daylilies of 2022
Comments (31)Jean Deaver's Dream was very disappointing here (smallish blooms, slow growth and bud count)--just something to consider for anyone from the North yearning for it. Of course, sometimes cultivars do better farther north with snow cover. (Or they might perform in 6B--substantial difference between here and North Carolina or Kentucky.) Moonlight Sail also tenderish weak here, but it's still out there. Silver Sword is nice, but slow to multiply here. Lydia's Regal Robe looked good this year, though bud count still modest. Free the Captives has purplish tones early in the morning, moves to reddish tones, and gradually becomes lighter. Vigorous and tall. The X Files is striking, but plant habit is a bit sprawling. Ashwood Dark Side may fit better as a deep red. Lost in Translation is quite short but a vibrant color. Definitely front row. Sultry Girls looked good this year....See MoreRed Daylilies of 2022
Comments (25)Quite a clump of Heavenly Christmas Cactus! Does yours get the doubling that Gossard talks about? (Maybe not a positive.) The Deadliest Catch seedling looks impressive. I added a couple of Hensley reds after Maryl's enthusiasm. Fear Not has bloomed on short scapes some years. I deleted Fire on the Mountain because of its growth habit (blooms just above the foliage and a space hog), but it is a big brilliant red. Cliffjumper attracts attention. I hear it is a moderate increaser. Cherokee Star certainly deserves its prominence in this post. Harper's Bazaar was not good this year (poor bloom and splotchy). Might be a site problem. Debra, are any of your red seedlings on the path to introduction? Richard Norris always said that good reds were difficult to hybridize (adding ruffles or different shades or edges). They seem to lose their marketplace value sooner than many colors (though not yellow). Stone Palace Swagger (deep burgundy). I am wondering if it will have good plant habit. I am trying a couple of Evick's. Red Headed Hussy has great vigor and prominence in the garden. Vision of Things to Come --good grower Larry's Twilight Bite --good height. Favorite toothy here. Velvet Hammer --a star in the garden this past year, but this was a year with little splotchiness. Vying for best edged red, though not a brilliant red. Geneva Firetruck --I like this vigorous one. Cherokee Star Daniel Howard Norris --a year after division. Dips tend to have low scape to fan ratios. Ruby Grandeur --a later blooming Norris Jelly Roll Morton --it has to fit somewhere Dragon King --great year Dark Gethsemane --to me a red, though purplish tones very early. Tall and vigorous Goldner's Red Velvet seedling --some double scaping this year. Holds brilliant color. A later one. Thick, velvety texture. Dixieland Band --a later delight Mama Drama the old When I Dream Arrogant Bastard has never gotten the height at Crintonic Rogue Primate is such a dominant bully I had to move it. Vivid and floriferous Atomic Inferno Omega Red Hooked on You --low this year. Future? Court Troubadour. I like this oldie Playing with Crayons Man Eater --looks very promising Garry Bewcyk --quite clean this year. Difficult to capture its dark color, especially in a sunny summer. Clash of Absolutes. Smoldering color, but sprawling plant habit. mitch lynd --hard to capture its darkness...See MoreOrange Daylilies of 2022
Comments (30)Santorini Sunset looks like a bright one. Muy Calliente looks very interesting. Oranges are probably the least popular color after yellow on auctions. People don't appreciate how vivid and varied they can be. This is the only pic I took of Bob Marley this year. It did not like the heat against that off-white wall. Spirit Fox looked good, though other oranges can be more vivid. Carrick Wildon is always a later bright one. Alabama Jubilee had a great year. So many oldies showed why they are classics. Krakatoa Lava Stop the Car--not a sizable clump yet, but certainly warrants a pause in one's gaze. Tahiti Sweetie --commands attention with height Mardi Gras Indian --very vivid Tropical Fruit Loops --I like this color. A sib of Mardi Gras Indian Heavenly Dragon Fire --a unique glowing color. Crintonic Fireball --excellent color. Too new to evaluate habit Indian Ripple --great display this year Holiday Party --showy in garden if you like doubles Lana Ishee --the older evergreen that Chris liked (and must have given me). It blooms reliably in a searing color Vitamin C --a good landscaper. The color itself is a bit dull close-up, but makes a bright spot. I have grown to like it. Made a long display. It looks best in sun, which we had a lot of last summer. Solar Fire --an older Webster, very large, plain but showy Heman Mean Green Tropical Fusion --very showy in the garden, even if the plant habit is not ideal. Nan showed this one for a few years....See Moredaylilybedmaker

last yearNice B daylilies! I especially like Bass Gibson, Buddy's Black Lady, and Blueberry Breakfast.
Here are some of my B's.
I hope Bengali is hardy, but I have my doubts.
Big Bird's Friend is one of the super tall ones. We have several of those in yellow. I wish there was a bigger range of colors in the super tall ones.
Black Snake Moan was a bonus from Dan Bachman. Dan was always generous with bonus plants.
I like the velvety richness of the color of Blackbird's Song.
As you might guess, Bob loves Bob Marley. It is a great grower and prolific bloomer in our garden.
Brazilian Flamingo is new to the garden.
Broadway Sparkler is one of the larger of the Broadway series.
More to come . . .

Bucky Beaver is a late blooming toothy.
Buddy's Betsy is one of the earliest ones in our garden every season.
Here is Butter Pecan in a clump.
That's it for me.Nancy

Bela Lugosi. We had an incredibly hot dry summer.
Black Arrowhead
Blue Sheen
Blueberry Candy. Redid the area around it.
Bonanza had a great year as always. Such an old warrior.

last yearlast modified: last yearBass Gibson had an off year, as did many. There were some nice blooms, but a number of bad openings and shorter scapes; BG can be inconsistent, but was great the previous year. Brown's Ferry Peaches and Cream did nothing for me here. Oh, there were a few nice blooms, but just wouldn't establish and get beyond 10-inch scapes. Where in central Ohio are you located, Steve? I am generally wary of Brown's Ferry intros, after being burned a few times.
I wonder if you can say more about Blackbird's Song, Nancy. How quickly established, bud count, etc.
Boss Lady had a very good year.
Big Bang Theory has big blooms. Bud count could be higher.
Butter Cream always provides scenes for pics.
Belle Cook, despite its shortness, can wow.
Black Bird Sings (not to be confused with Blackbird's Song) could stand some shade. Here at Crintonic near noon.
Bridge of Sighs can have a nice flower, but would rather be farther south.
Blazing Saddles has the typical Hansen tall scape. If only it had a Hanson scape.
Blushing Escapade--long blooming glowing color on taller scapes.
Blessed Are the Meek. I decided to try this, though one person warned me it is not that vigorous.
Broken Chains, one of Karol's better ones here.
Butter Pecan in a clump that needs division. Scapes a bit shorter after those late spring freezes.
Birthday Wishes. Scapes less consistent here the past year, though not as short as this picture looks.
Blue Pink Beauty is in a part of the garden where it is difficult to photograph, but there is always something deserving of a picture.
Bubble Gum Twist has yet to make it out of the pot because I don't like the scapes. In the twilight of life, spaces in the garden go to only the most promising.
Blood Sweat and Tears --moderate increase
Buddy's Wild and Wonderful - a pic from 2020, when it was nicer. Early, which I like.
Bloom Where You're Planted --quite showy, though every bloom is not perfect. A great name.

last yearSorry I missed your question earlier Mantis. I am just south of Newark Ohio. I picked up BF P&C from Daylily Lane and they gave me 3-4 fans to get it started. I've been growing it since 2017 and its never missed a beat. Shortly after delivery:
I did not get a clump pic in 2021, but here it is in 2020.
