Today let us see your daylilies that start with the letter N.
Quote of the day: ” If con is the opposite of pro, then isn’t Congress the opposite of progress?”
Night Embers has been in the garden a long time. It is a dependable performer.
Northwind Dancer is a welcome late daylily. mine got moved two seasons ago and finally had a good season.
Night Moves has been a late midseason bloomer, such nice velvety appearance.
Nosferatu a nice oldie.
Neon Flamingo had first blooms last season, I love it already!

My First Daylilies to Bloom for 2022
Comments (9)Thanks for all the comments! Nancy - Extravagant Love is a pretty one. Most of Tim Bell's daylilies are good rebloomers, so I'm hoping that one will rebloom so I'll get to see more of it this season. Sherry - I think the scape on the seedling is one that formed in the fall but didn't have time to emerge before freezing temps hit. That scape has moved to the outside of the fan, and it has another scape today emerging from the middle. I have another seedling that bloomed midseason last year with a very early scape that will likely be my second seedling to bloom. I often have a few registered daylilies that have the extra early leftover scape to bloom, but not this year. Hoosier Nan - I do love seeing the seedlings start to bloom. I was disappointed when this first one wasn't showing teeth on the initial bloom. But it has a few tiny ones on the second flower. I'm hoping the siblings will have better edges. Maryl - My remaining outside cats are old, but they still can jump when they hear loud sounds, and they sometimes rub on the daylily buds. I did break off one of buds myself when I moved the pot next to Lavender Dandelion. Kate - You are right about so many different factors influencing the fate of our daylilies. Brad - I've enjoyed seeing the early blooms on these, but there will be quite a lag before the flower show continues. Debra...See MoreBest Budded Daylilies of 2022
Comments (15)Sherry - I was looking at this thread again and noticed your comment about daylilies with fewer scapes having more buds. This is something I've really noticed since I've been hybridizing. My seedlings tend to have more buds the first two-three years they bloom. Once they grow into large clumps, the bud counts go down. I think that's a good reason to divide large clumps into smaller divisions. Debra...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 More

2 years agolast modified: 2 years agoSherry - I love that clever quote. Congress has been the opposite of progress for at least the last decade. NIght Moves is so striking, and Neon Flamingo is one of my favorites.
David - NIght Wings is so very dark!
Neon Flamingo - Since there aren't many N's, I'll post a single and a clump shot of this vibrant beauty.
Nile Princess early in the season
Nile Princess later when the heat is on.
Nordic Soul

Nutmeg Spice - a small flowered oldie I still grow.

2 years agoSherry and others Northwind Dancer and Neon Flamingo are lovely. I have Night Embers arriving in spring. I like the dark colour of Night Wings and New Tangerine Twist. Nordic Soul is quite wonderful.
Night Beacon is so reliable.

2 years agoSherry - "Nadine" is one I like a lot, but it's only four fans right now. This is its second year to bloom. Maybe in three or four years it will be worthy of registering.
Here are a couple of other photos of it. It has a lot of different looks.
Maryl - I remember why you like the name "Nadine."
