Daylilies no-show this season
Comments (23)This is my no shows, Cimarron Rose - I love this one but he is so tender. I will bark this fall. Continental Holiday - love it too, will bark. Diamond Shadows - moved last year, not a hugh favorite but nice. Electric Marmalade Magic - I have only had maybe one good season with it. Doc Alexander - sorry it didn't bloom, that was my grandfather's name. Free Wheelin' - not a big favorite but like it. Flamboyant Diva - was moved last year. Peacock Maiden - is in to much shade. Mort Morss - I barked but it was moved last year. Mynelle's Starfish - pretty but in the foliage so don't really like anyway. These Eyes - was moved last year. If I had not barked Bella Sera, Lone Star Wagon Wheel or Regal Fantasy they probably wouldn't have bloomed either but I love them so it was worth the effort....See MoreFavorite Purple Daylilies of the Season
Comments (39)Sherry, I'm the same way. When I get a daylily, I will see what the official color is, but don't necessarily go by that. It is not just a daylily in a different area [like Celeste's purples, for example] but on the official AHS site there will be a photo submitted by the hybridizer along with their description, and they don't match at all....See MoreFirst Daylily of 2018 Season and O'Bannon Springs Order Arrived
Comments (7)Thanks everybody, number two to bloom should be Tribal Council, but we have had a spell of cloudy cool weather and it seems to be holding the bloom season back. Maryl, I have a number of "old trumpet shaped" daylilies and I love them, particularly since most are yellow and fragrant. David, Siloam Art Work going to be in full sun, so when it gets hotter here, we will keep a close eye on it, move it if necessary--thanks for the heads up. Debra and everybody else, it's really exciting to see the first scapes. We have lots and lots now, the leader of the unbloomed ones are Stella's Ruffled Fingers with 13 at this time. Who knows what I will find in the next day or two, it's so fun....See MoreSpring and Daylily Season
Comments (15)Nancy - I imagine I'll always have problems with this right knee after planting or weeding. When I go a couple of days without doing those things, the knee feels fine. If I weren't gardening, it probably would have healed long ago. It is a pain to do so much watering so early. Maybe you and I will get some of these scattered showers in the forecast in the next couple of days. Debra...See MoreNancy 6b
