Sa-Sn daylilies 2022
Today is the the first part of the S daylilies, we are posting SA through Sn. The remainder of the S dayliles will have a turn on Monday. I have had a day or two like this silly quote.
Quote of the day: ”I came. I saw. I forgot what I was doing. Retraced my steps. Got lost on the way back. Now I have no idea what’s going on.”
Sea Dragon has been a good performer, last season was not it’s best. Most of the blooms did not look bitone…..it is a bitone daylily.
Silky Skies is the only Lambertson daylily I have tried that likes my garden. It did well last season when many did not.
Sailor Sky is a great late bloomer here, has increased rapidly. It is difficult for me to capture the coral color, this photo is pretty close.
That is it for me, will have more in the next post.

2 years agoI've experienced exactly what's in that quote many times. Silky Skies is gorgeous, and I always like Brad's Smoky Mt. Autumn. I'm wondering if we really needed to break up the S's now that there are so few people posting.

Opinions on these tomato varieties!
Comments (26)Hi, Misty! ALWAYS nice to see you pokin' your head in around here! It's interesting that you left the ROCKY Mountains--and now you have ROCKY soil instead! I'm not so sure that's a good trade off! :-D But I'm glad to know you're still growing a buncha veggies! There's no food as good as home grown veggies--especially tomatoes! I don't know what they are, but the Pink Stuff they sell in food stores are not tomatoes! If you like Sungold, you REALLY should try Sweet Aperitif red cherry some year! They're "different" from Sungold, but they are BOTH To Die For! [Fedco--good seeds, good prices! Free shipping over $50 -- $6 under $50!] If you're in "eastern" Kansas, what town are you in/near? I'm asking because long, long ago, my husband's best friend--best man at our wedding!--was from Hutch--as in Hutchinson! And when he got married, his Intended was from Beatrice (Bea-A'-trice!), and my husband was HIS best man so we went back there for the wedding--the wedding was in Beatrice! Then, after they got married they lived on his father's (inherited) farm at Hutch, and one year we drove back there and stayed--in the olde farm house--for a couple nites and one day went out and waded in the Arkansas (Ar-KAN'-sas!) "river," which runs across the farm they lived on! It was great fun--except for the nasty, nasty "no-see-ums" that were biting us--no matter where we were! So I'm just wondering how close you might be to that area! Getting way off the tomato subject!!! Also! If you're close enough to St. Louis, have you ever heard of Cahokia Mounds??? It's right across the river (the BIG river--not the wading kind!) from St. Louis at Collinsville, Illinois! If you've never heard of it, search it (I recommend doing it on DuckDuckGo so you can actually SEE the "images"--since you can't anymore with google search!). It's part of the "Mississippi River Mounds Cultures", ancestors of some of today's "east coast" tribes (Creek, Shawnee, Seminole, and more!)--there are "ruins" that "look like" Central American ruins, but they're "made of earth!" If you're interested in "that sort of thing" I thought they were very interesting! If you ever go and you walk to the top of "Monk's Mound" (yeah, named by White Man!) you can "look across the river" and see St. Louis--that's how close it is to the river! I found the Ye Olde Folks thread on RMG (actually, I had saved a link to it--it's virtually impossible to find anything you try to search for on GW anymore since houzz took over!) and I'm gonna do a short post on it right after I post this, to bump it up! It was started in 2008! If you have "some time," check it out! I just reread virtually the whole thread again--Memories!!! Candy cigarettes and Burma Shave signs!!! Please do keep showing up here every now and then! You're Family, and if you have "garden"--or bird!--questions, we're still here with answers--even if you DO live in No-See-Um Kansas!

Comments (7)We can see most of your pictures if we click on the link. We can also scroll through your entire album. You have some pretty seedlings--a very wide range of forms and types. I especially liked the first one you posted--the large orange with the pointy petals. That is unique. (My husband liked that one too since orange is his favorite color) Do the petals always stick out rather than recurve? Another I really liked was the purple one with the watermark. I wish I could tell you how to make your pictures appear, but I am not posting mine using a link. I am just dragging and dropping them from my files from my flashdrive. That works well for me. Your flowers are not NOIDs as I understand the term. They are seedlings that could be given a name whenever you choose to register them. If you know the parentage, that would be the name they would go under until they are registered. NOIDs are usually named cultivars that have lost their names for some reason. They are in no way inferior to the named ones. I have several cultivars that were previously NOIDs but I have been able to identify them. I am just sort of picky about knowing their names--especially because I hybridize and like to have the name for the parentage should I choose to register the plant. I have posted a picture of Northern Fancy to tell a weird story. We had ordered a large number of plants from a grower who is generous about sending bonus plants. We planted two bonus plants side by side--one was named Northern Fancy and the other was High Roller. When High Roller bloomed, I told my husband that it was mislabeled. High Roller is a yellow melon pink blend. It was another year before we realized that the NOID that was supposed to be High Roller was the same as Northern Fancy planted right beside it. I enjoyed looking at your pictures. Nancy...See MoreSa-Sn S daylilies 2020
Comments (40)If I have to do to obtain a phyto I make arrangements with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. They will sometimes come out to inspect the plants but this time I had to prepare the daylilies ( clean off all soil . Roots need to be washed clean , trim the daylily leaves to a reasonable length) , I took them into the Canadian Food Inspection Agency office . The inspector then did a count of the daylilies , inspected them to make sure all the soil was removed inspected the leaves and roots for any pests or soil . I had soaked the plants in water for a couple of days and then hit the roots and leaves with the hose to ensure no soil left on the plants . They passed inspection so he issued the paperwork ( the phyto) . That was all there was to it . I paid my $13 dollars . It was I believe $7.50 for the inspection and $5.50 for the paperwork signed by the inspector . Then he informed me I needed to put the original phyto on the outside of the package and a copy inside. That way the border inspection can happen and the inspector can pass on a copy to what ever people require a copy in the state it is being shipped to . Then of course there is the cost of shipping . In the US each state can have different requirements and costs but the requirements are all pretty straight forward . Phytos cost more in the US and each state has different requirements and costs . For example N.Y . State has a $25 phyto charge . I know this because I am in the process of bringing some daylilies in from a grower in NY state. Other states have higher costs. Michigan I believe was $60 US for a phyto to Canada This link might be of help https://www.aphis.usda.gov/aphis/ourfocus/planthealth/SA_Export Sending out daylilies in the US does require some kind of paperwork to ship state to state and requirements like what California has are there so the spread of disease and insects doesn't happen. .Many people do not know this . So I am not sure what requirement Indiana has for exporting daylilies to other states. You would have to get in touch with your local agent to find out requirements , costs etc. Not sure but this link might help https://nationalplantboard.org/wp-content/uploads/docs/summaries/indiana.pdf Hoosier_Nan found this info that might be of interest to you too . https://nationalplantboard.org/laws-and-regulations/ and one more link https://www.aphis.usda.gov/aphis/ourfocus/planthealth/sa_export/sa_faqs/faqs/!ut/p/z1/04_Sj9CPykssy0xPLMnMz0vMAfIjo8ziffxNnA2dgg2AtKuTgaNrkLmvq6unkbuFkX44PgUGhsb6UaTpD_MwAyoICQ3xszB08rQ0Ik6_AQ7gaECq_RgKovAb70XIAmAIGhX5Ovum60cVJJZk6GbmpeXrRxQnxqdWFOQXlYCZaYmFxfoRYDJcPwqfieAQRVOAGWSEHF2QGxoaGlHl42TpmQkAAJT6xQ!!/#4 Hope this helps...See MoreCatch up again on Wednesday
Comments (15)I often wonder about some names on daylilies like Crimson Stories . I am guessing it is one of those plants whose color depends on soil composition . I checked NGA and a number of the images do seem to lean more towards red than your image does . Your's definitely is more of a purple tone. I find it interesting too that all the images are showing yellow throats . Is this accurate or does it have something to do with what you are taking pictures with ? Each and every one of the blooms above have predominantly yellow throat ( a tiny green base is visible on some ) . Is this a feature you are breeding for ? It caught my eye because most daylilies are green in the throat with the odd one having an orange throat . Love Sam Abell ....See Moresherrygirl zone5 N il

2 years agoI chuckled at the quote. I often find myself doing that very thing.
My picks for today are Sea Dragon, Santorini Sunset, and Sailing into the Blue. Salty Dog has a nice eye too.
Saber Tooth Tiger is not my favorite type of daylily. It is giving us some interesting offspring though.
Sabine Baur has a fancy face but is not a very vigorous grower for us. I am ready to let it go but Bob says no.
Sandra Elizabeth is not fancy but it's a welcome sight in the very late garden.
Sarah Christine is one of the few big diploids we grow that aren't ufs.
School Bus is an intensely colored small tetraploid.
Sea of Cinders is one of our favorites. I am surprised that this daylily is not more popular. I think it's almost impossible to buy now. Unfortunately, it has not been reliably hardy for us (maybe that's why it's not popular) so we always keep one in the greenhouse.
More to come . . .

2 years agoHere is our Sears Tower, one of the super tall ones. I wish there were some super tall ones in other colors than yellow. I guess I'll have to work on that.
Here is Shreddy, one of the few toothy narrow ones we have.
Small World Fire in the Hole has one of the most intensely colored flowers in the garden. It is also pod fertile and we have many nice seedlings from it. It does not like late spring frosts as you can see by the ratty foliage.
Small World TNT has been slow growing for us. The flower is bigger and not so intensely colored as the previous one.
Snarl has been slow getting started for us. One interesting thing about it that I didn't notice until I looked at the photo was the patterned eye--a lighter and darker band in the eye. I really like the sepals on this one too.
That's all for me.Nancy

I took the day off to get taxes ready (ugh!!) and thought I would try to get a few photos added to these threads. Can you smell procrastination??
All my photos are on my cell phone (over 7000) and I have not uploaded, downloaded, sideloaded them so I am selecting only a few as I find them!!
