Sherry: Both of your daylilies are my favorites. The color on Yellow Monkey is a dynamite yellow that always calls to me even if it is a UF, and the form on ZuZu's Treasure is so round and frilly. Each in their own rite are beautiful..............I have one Y, Yesterday Memories. It is my favorite daylily as well as probably my oldest daylily. When a spot in a garden bed came open, (a rarity), I decided to put one of my 2 pots in the ground leaving it to posterity and the enjoyment of whomever comes after me. I didn't have to wait long for "someone" to enjoy it. Contrary to popular belief that rabbits don't eat daylilies, cute little baby bunnies WILL eat just about anything - at least once:

Yesterday Memories, deserving of the praise I heap on her, shook it off and put up a respectable amount of blooms anyway. Ironically some of the individual blooms sported what is sometimes called "bunny ears":

Here are my XYZs:

YADA YADA YELLOW

ZEBE

That's it for me.

David

One for me - Yazoo Elsie Hinton. My wife's favorite daylily color is yellow. If it weren't for her, my world would be much smaller and less cheerful. Not sure what that extra petal is trying to do in there.

After two years in the ground, I have a nice clump starting to form.

Wow Maryl, YM is a trouper! Rabbits have definitely done a share of damage here, I have Never seen damage like that on a daylily.

Sherry

Sherry - Those are wonderful photos of Zuzu's Treasure. I would love it if you would post those on the NGA database. I don't currently have any daylilies that start with X or Z, and Zuzu's Treasure is my only Z. Houzz won't let me post pictures right now, so I'll post some of those later.

Maryl - Yesterday Memories is always a winner in your garden. I have seen exactly that kind of damage from baby bunnies in my garden. It was especially bad three years ago when they got so many scapes on my seedlings.

Debra

Debra, those two photos are now on NGA website.

Sherry

Thanks Sherry! Here are some of my photos of Zuzu's Treasure.

Debra

Steve: Your wife has excellent taste in color. You will find that more then a few of us also value it.....David's Yada Yada Yellow and Kate's Yellow Mammoth make me smile on this cold winters day.............. Debra: I do like ZuZu's Petals. I know it's just happenstance, but thank goodness for some daylilies named for the less used letters of the Alphabet..........Maryl

ZuZu is certainly the winner in this category.

Here's mine:

Yellow Monkey. It has disappointed me. After seeing so many wonderful clumps in this forum [Edward started it all!] Mine has been slow to increase.

my seedling Veracity. Not enough buds to warrant registering but pretty enough to name and keep.

That's all,

Brad

Zuzu's Treasure is such a pretty pink. I am not a huge fan of yellow, but decided I needed another so got Yada Yada Yellow in the fall. Glad to see a nice picture of it here. This year I am MUST organize my photos, and KEEP them. I apparently deleted almost all mine.

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

Better late then never Nan. Q-I-E are 3 letters that also seem scarce in the trade. I'll have my sole "E" coming this spring.......RE: Yauhunna Lake....... I've looked at Tanners intros for a couple of years now and they interest me. Most are dormants for one thing. I like this pink of his. I see it has Shores of Time in it, so his pink looks to be in line with the Stamile shade of pink, (which is a pink shade I like quite a bit). Will be interested to see how it does for you this season.......I like the pattern on Zombie Dust too. As for the base color, one of the reasons I liked Christmas in Oz so much was that the base color was pink, not muddy mauve.......................Maryl

Maryl, Yauhannah Lake has done very well for us. We have had it for several years. The color is similar in our garden to Shores of Time, but it does so much better than Shores of Time. In fact, we decided we didn't need both so Shores is going.

Thank you for the information. It will go on my wish list.............Maryl
