U daylilies 2023
Show us your best U daylilies today.
Bad Joke of the day: Somebody stole all of my lamps……..I couldn’t be more de-lighted.
Upgrade, like all of the other Gossards I have, they do great in my garden. The spots on the petals seem to be more prominent on cooler days.
Undercurrent is another good performer here. It has rebloomed for me twice over the time it has been here. Color is more saturated in cooler temperatures.

last yearLove the joke Sherry! I have only one that fits this category and it is ULTIMATE ILLUSION. This is an early bloom.
Here is a later season bloom
Clump shot
It is a rapid increaser. Blooms over a long period of time. A very different look in my collection.
Have a great day!

Yellow Daylilies 2023
Comments (26)Avon Sunrise is by a hybridizer I am not familiar with. Sour Puss has warm hues with its green heart and peach shading. A Shooter, I see. Diploids in general I find need more dividing to maintain bloom quantity. Siloam Amazing Grace is a nice clear yellow. Mister Butters had a good year. In general, earlier plants performed better, when they could withstand an onslaught of earwigs. How many earwigs didn't I kill? Saul has slain his thousands, but I think I matched that (with little effect, as they were in the ten thousands). Butter Cream was nice (but again plagued by earwigs). Catherine Folker had a very good year. A large-flowered polychrome, but yellow and green are dominant. Always has instant rebloom. A ML. Good height. A Joiner evergreen that performs well, selected by Richard Norris years ago from a garden he visited. Green Mystique has a precise and dainty edge. Seemed closer to five rather than six inches, perhaps because of the slight recurve. Gives a respectable performance most years--and that kind of performance this past year made one stand out. Sarah Christine looked pretty good. A softer yellow, which is usually what I prefer. Crintonic Mister Apollo may be a good performer. As well as Green Icon. We shall see....See MoreOrange Daylilies 2023
Comments (18)Court and Spark was too small a bloom here to make it into the garden. Coral Corduroy looks very appealing. It is rather short, but that is good for pot culture. Why didn't the Ellison seedling get a name? All those buds, and such a beautiful ruffled flower. Slow to increase? That usually doesn't stop people from registering. Tyger River (a bonus) was very short this year (of course, not without company in this bad year). I am wondering if I should pick up Miss Demeanor. Evaluation of Tiger Town? I see it is a cascade. I look forward to seeing Hot Buttered Rum in the garden next year. Sitting Cool has been very pleasing here; not sure I would call it orange, but it certainly warrants a picture. I am always interested in reviews of the Stone Palace cultivars. The Victorian Lace seedling is lovely. Since VL does well here, it arouses more interest....See MoreEyed and Edged Daylilies 2023
Comments (13)Debra, TART WITH A HEART certainly is a standout. SMALL WORLD TNT: Early season bloomer. Tends to melt on days over 90 degrees. THE TRIBBLE WITH BLUE: Good performer. Front of the border plant. ROCK CANDY: A popular one with visitors. HOT SEAT: A garish bloom. Can't be missed. SUSQUAHANNA GREAT BALLS OF FIRE: I love the colors, but I wish it did not roll back so much. If it didn't roll back, it would not have the name. SAM ABELL LEDGEWOOD'S JUMPSTART: This is a very good plant. This photo was taken at 5:00 pm FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE: Blooms a long time as it usually puts up two scapes per fan. EYE ON AMERICA: I thought that I had gotten rid of this one, but I missed a piece. I am glad I still have it. NEW COVENANT: This is an accurate picture of it. The edge goes around most of the petal. LEDGEWOOD'S JUMPSTART in the morning VISION SEEKER: An all around good plant. Good branching, tall and good bud count. RUBY STORM COSMIC SHINER TROUBLE IN PARADISE That is all from me. Have a great day! David...See MoreEdge No Eye Daylilies 2023
Comments (8)Some of these categories don't have many. I have one other that did not bloom this season, and a new one I forgot to post. Ultimate Blush was new and really hadn't settled in yet when it bloomed. I tend to like the older ones in this category: Forsyth Flaming Snow, Frosted Vintage Ruffles, Happy Apache and Big Smile.

last yearlast modified: last yearSherry - Upgrade and Undercurrent are both beautiful! I've always admired those two of yours.
David - Ultimate Illusion has a neat pattern. I reminds me of Secret Sentinel, which I grow.
Untamed Heart - My intro performed well last year, despite the dry, hot weather. Two scapes had the registered 18 buds, and the others were in the mid teens. This one is a terrific pod setter, even in hot temps. Unlike my earlier intros, this one is an early morning opener. It reblooms some years, but not reliably here.
Untamed Heart clumps
Unbound was a new one last year. It's supposed to be excellent for hybridizing, but it was too hot last summer for me to be successful with it.

last yearNice U daylilies. I like them all, but especially Ultimate Illusion.
I have only one U to add. Unstoppable is a great grower. It has made a huge clump, so much so that it is crowded out everything around it. We meant to split the clump last year, but didn't get to it.
