V daylilies 2022
Please show us your V daylilies. I am sorry to say I have none 😳
Quote of the day:” A bargain is something you dont need at a price you can’t resist.”
Can’t help myself….. my daughter is getting a new puppy next week. His name is Remy, he is on the right. He is a smooth coat collie, his sister on the left is a rough coat collie like Lassie.

W daylilies 2022
Comments (15)Kate: In winter when we do this alphabet listing I always wonder why I didn't get more pictures of such and such. The reality of bloom season is somewhat romanticized and the realities ignored. Like the constant wind, the rain, the hot sun, the other time consuming chores that also have to be done before picture taking can commence. So it was with Wayah Valley last season. I managed to get one good picture of it which I showed under Debra's red daylily header. I had two pots of it and lost one to the arctic blast of Feb. 2021, and now I'm hoping the other pot will survive this Februarys cold bout of arctic freezes. How has your weather been this winter? Any serious cold snaps that worried you? Oh and yes, here is a repeat of Wayah Valley Pic. It's such a good one. It's one I always recommend Wayah Valley: Maryl...See MoreX, Y and Z daylilies 2022
Comments (15)Coming late to the party again. We just got back from the ADS region 2 Winter Symposium. We had a good time, especially after my job was done. I was the registrar for the event. I think that those of us who are hybridizers need to focus on names that start with X, Y, and Z so that we have more to post in this section. The X might be hard to come up with, but Debra has done her part with Zuzu's Treasure. Beautiful! I must admit none of my pictures are from 2021, but I wanted to post something. Yauhannah Lake performs very well for us. You're Fired is a great grower. Zombie Dust often is inconsistent in pattern, but it's a big flower that is a little diffferent from so many other patterns that seem to have a rather muddy lavender petal color. It was hybridized by a friend in Indianapolis. That's all for me. Nancy...See MorePink Daylilies From the 2022 Season

Comments (23)Yellow is a wonderful garden color, but many collectors, as well as the average Joe, shy away from it. People aren't likely to spend big money for a yellow intro--certainly not dealers, because yellow generally doesn't sell. Bill Norris is certainly worthy of its awards, and a nice earlier one. There have been years though when it was subpar (rough winter or late spring freeze). This year wasn't a great year here. I see that Yellow Cockatoo is a Chad Bush. Anything that starts opening the night before and is earlier blooming gets chewed up here by earwigs. Small World Fire in the Hole is especially bad, and I wouldn't trust Lunar Empire in my home garden. Earwigs are less of a problem elsewhere. Stone Beacon is very showy at the Urgent Care garden. Butter Cream is certainly at least 28 inches here. A superior cultivar in hue as well as texture. Its bud count last season was better than usual here. Boney Maroney had better bud count than in previous years. Whistler's Sister has proven to be a keeper. Thelma Douglas has a crowded scape. Someone in the South claims that never happens with his plant. A bit short here also. The last few years, I have been delighted with the later performance of Caramel Glaze, a Munson. Creped texture and shading are appealing. The Goldilocks Effect was a standout last season. Lemon Lime Radiance blooms over a long time. The greenish cast and large glowing flower I find appealing. In a very sunny part of the garden, so difficult to photograph with its light yellow and green color. Shorter. Mister Butters blooms abundantly in the early garden. Oops, another of The Goldilocks Effect. Look at that texture! Planet Claire is a nice Hanson yellow, also with texture in the veining. Big bloom. Be Here Now is a mellow yellow later bloomer. Also a Hanson....See More

last yearSherry: How cute are those puppies. I had a friend who was a huge fan of Collies. Said they were the best. Good luck with being a new puppy grandmother.........David: You have quite a few V's that stand out. Vision Seeker is lovely and Vesuvian is a deep velvety red that looks rich........I have only one V and it was new last year. Short scapes on initial blooms. We will see what it does this year:

last yearlast modified: last yearVintage Wine. Still a reliable favorite and always will be.
Next are my VTs. All are extra late, bud range from 15-40. Good height too. Using some of them for crossing, hoping for well budded lates.VT Autumn Fires, has more buds than any plus it is a bud builder. Blooms 2 or more months. 40 buds on some.
VT Bridal LILAC
VT Fondly Kin
VT Rose Rosy
VT September Star
VT Sophie is a bit more orange than this photo.
VT the Last Melon, also super amount of buds. Also increases quickly. It is a hard color to capture but this photo is about right.
VT Sophie and the Last Melon.
That's all.Brad

last yearSherry - Both puppies are very cute! I love all collies and shelties, probably due to watching Lassie as a kid and playing with my grandmother's border collie.
Brad - VT Bridal Lilac appeals to me, and the clumps of VT Sophie and Last Melon are very impressive.
Velvet Throne is a dark red with a large 7-inch bloom. It always rebloomes.
Victorian Garden Heaven's Applause throws lots of intricate patterns. It used to be one of my best performers until the neighbor's tree grew very tall and now gives it too much shade.
Victorian Garden Emerald Breeze holds its color on the hottest days.
Violet Victory is another one that never increases and is short becaue of the grubs. It does set seed like crazy though, and I may have some seedlings from it bloom this year.
Violet Sabrewing has lovely colors. I've been battling grubs on this one for years. Scapes were finally a little taller last year.

last yearI love those puppies. Our Riley is an Old Time Scotch Collie. Collies are so gentle and sweet.
My picks of the daylilies today is VT Autumn Fires. It sounds like a good one for the end of the season. I also like Victorian Gardens Heaven's Applause. I also like Vision Seeker.
Here are my Vs.
Here's our Venus Fly Trap. It's a pretty bloom and does well for us, but it is not fertile for us. We have gotten a few seedlings with it as pollen parent, but none as pod parent.
Warmer Climes was new last year. It was a bonus from Mike Derrow, the hybridizer. His plants do well here.
Wickedly Wild and Wonderful never performs as well as its published stats suggest it should, but still, it comes up every year and blooms well.
Wide Wide World is a great grower. However, I am never happy with the photos of it. They just don't show how luscious the color is.
Wild and Wonderful is not a great grower for us and doesn't make much of a landscape impact. The photo would be better, though, if I took out the dead flowers.
That's all for me.Nancy
