Top ten favorites for 2012 Pop Poll
Comments (12)I sent in my list today. I have to say that there are more write in votes that I would have had if I were allowed. 'Creature of the Night' I got rid of this one because it was a flopper in my garden but it looked great this year in a neighbour's garden with adequate support. 'Elegant Candy' I find the individual blooms kinda boring but it does make a statement in a clump. It had some of the best branching and budcount in the garden. 'Flying Trapeze' This one has big beautiful blooms that you can see a long way away. 'Shores of Time' It took forever for this one to look good and this year it made the jump to great. Colour was vibrant and almost all of the blooms opened well. 'Victorian Lace' Pretty blooms that opened well but performance was marginal. It is in because I felt the need to have 5 off the ballot. 'Elegance of Summer' I have a lot of excellent full form yellow daylilies but this is the best. Every northern gardener should have this one. 'Yellow Monkey' BEST SPIDER EVER!!! This one was my most photographed daylily this year and it was the bud king with 41 buds on a scape. 'Belle of Ashwood' I have a lot of excellent full form pink daylilies but this is the best. Every northern gardener should have this one. 'Thieving Magpie' This one draws me to it every day it blooms. It is a striking flower. 'Purple Kaboom' This one is loud and proud. It was certainly named well. To me it looks like a Munson daylily on steroids....See MoreTop Ten Late Bloomers
Comments (17)Excellent post (as always) Debra! I can always count on you for such good advice and wonderful pictures. Since I'm just starting out with daylilies, it is very helpful to know which are the lates. (You and Rita are the queens of the enablers, you know!). I am taking notes because I need to have more late-bloomers. It is so, so difficult to choose any one favorite of those you posted. I can see that I would want ALL of them! Do you remember where you got 'Adrienne's Surprise'? I really like that one, and 'Techny Peace' as well. I have long admired 'Magnificent Dad' and always think I should get it to honor my Dad. Wonder how it would do in zone 4? 'Charlie' is one I remember from another post and that I really LOVED it...so adorable. And I love your unusual forms too. I pretty much like all daylilies (the only ones I am sick of are the orange ditch lilies because they are growing wild everywhere up here and folks who don't give a hoot about gardening dig them up off the sides of roads and that is ALL they plant in their yards!! Yuck.) Thanks for always having such delightful, beautiful, and inspiring posts! Celeste...See MoreMy Sagae is not even one of my top ten favorites!
Comments (12)So I am looking at my three Sagae crowns. The elongated crown has been shortened. I cut off what I considered rot. This is the rotted part. And this is what it looks like cut off: I did cut off a bit more because the bottom was a bit soft and there are no roots. But I am left with about a 2 inch long crown. You (Bruce) suggested cutting the majority of the crown off leaving some roots on the main crown. I can do that but I won't have as many roots as you have in your dividing thread. I am thinking I can cut about an inch and a half off of this crown. And with that piece I can cut it into two pieces for planting. It would be most interesting to see if these pieces grow. I imagine I would just cover it lightly with soil. The second crown looks like this: It's about one inch long. Ok---if I am going to think like Bruce---then I think he would say to cut a piece off and you have an extra plant! So if you cut the piece off, then the main crown will be stimulated to grow? The third crown is not looking that great. I was afraid to cut part of it off as I wouldn't have many roots left. The crown does seem firm though. Actually, when I really think about it, I don't think I have much choice but to remove part of the crown and roots. But I am going to do the bleach soak overnight and tackle the planting and this problem tomorrow! What's my goal here? To make this Sagae one of my top ten favorites. It was given to me by another hosta enthusiast. He shared his favorite hosta with me! I would love to be able to tell him that his hosta is one of my favorites too! His garden was the first hosta garden I ever visited. It holds a special place in my heart!...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 MoreRelated Professionals
