August Frost was probably my best near white clump.
Fancy Lace did really well in its first year to bloom.
Arctic Lace bloomed for a long time last season.
Lightning Round had some beautiful blooms, but it has not multiplied well.

Sunday Gloves always does well. Last season hampered the bud count.
Scandinavia was new to the garden, looks promising. I hope Mantis shows the clump shot.
Ice Carnival did well last seaon when others didn’t.
How High the Moon has been impressive in its short time here. The blooms are pure white.
Fortress of Solitude is new to the garden.Thats it for me.

Comments (16)Scandinavia is a good performer here--tall scapes well budded. No pictures this year because it was divided. Arctic Lace not good here--short and low bud count here in the north--but more snow cover might help. Caribbean Whipped Cream is good, but no pics this year. Great White, indeed, very slow. It's amazing how Indian Giver gives so many white seedlings. Number 4 looks appealing. I like the Victorian Lace seedling. And How High the Moon looks interesting. Is it primarily upfacing? Quite tall I see. Boundless Beauty, of course, is very nice. For some reason, not many pics of it. (It wasn't a great year for it, and I tend not to take pics of those already well archived.) We all know that it hangs up quite a bit. Some have claimed 30% of blooms, though it isn't that high here. Curt Hanson has a seedling from Boundless Beauty, not as elaborately ruffled but doesn't hang up and is generally a very flat flower. It will never be introduced. It is named "Send a Beam" in the garden. Not a typical Hanson name. He would choose something like "Virgin Panties." Isabelle Rose amazes. The Dougherty Snowflake Empress is an appealing off-white here. Also Known AS gives day after day of gorgeous blooms. Not fast to increase. Large bloom, taller than JT Davis. Such reliability that one is sated by its performance. Mal is probably the best performing of the Stamile whites here. Winter Treasure is very white, but not fast to increase The Dougherty Nobel continues to please. Early Snow still deservant of a place. White Chocolate Mike Derrow's White Icon is slow to increase, but a very white and beautiful large flower. JT Davis was nice this year. It's a short scape (not beneath the foliage though) that stands out with its yellow and white contrast. Heavenly Angel Ice is not a strong grower here (and not that tall), but has radiant blooms. Victorian Lace I have always liked; reliability is one factor. Arnold's Daughter snuck in here. Lots of nice flowers with a whitish base. Blizzard Bay, an older Stamile, is very white and later blooming. More vigorous than things like Arctic Lace here....See MoreBest F daylilies 2023
Comments (28)I love the form and color of Forest God. I hate to hear that about Forever and for Always, the blooms are so pretty. Last year was its 1st bloom season, did not do great but I am pretty sure it rebloomed. I like those pinks, David! Brad, that color on Fiordiligi is so nice. FOREVER REDEEMED looks nice in everyone's pictures. I talk myself out of that one because I have so many of that style. Fire In the Hole, Kay, but my favorite is firecracker Parade. Kate, Flying fox must be so impressive at that size! Fried Green Tomatoes is an impressive grower, isn't it? Mine was 3 years old this year, not sure mine has multiplied quite so well as yours. It has such a long bloom season though, it was a major bud builder this year. Nancy, I have Fiesta Latina here too, and it is a great plant. The only reason I don't post it often, my camera does not capture the color as nice as you see it in person. I agree about Fox Point too, I would have posted that one if I had a picture of it. Debra, Faith That Moves Mountains and Fighting Fire are amazing!...See MoreYour best 5 J daylilies 2023
Comments (15)There are many wonderful plants representing the letter J. Jerry Hyatt and Joan Derifield are excellent plants. June Torer and Jewel of the Oasis certainly would look good in my garden. J.P. Moneybags: Great grower. Tall and blooms over a long period of time. JUBILEE BALL: A wonderful Bennett intro. I just love how the blooms seem to look at me. I love this shade of pink. JELLYROLL MORTON: It sat in a pot for a year, but found a home in the ground this past Spring. It even sent up a rebloom scape, which is rare in my area. This has got to be a winner in my eyes (apparently in several people's eyes on this forum). JELLYFISH JEALOUSY: This is a wonderful Reed intro. It blooms for a very long time. I divided the very large clump this past summer. I kept five fans because it is outstanding in a clump. I've heard that it is slow to increase, but it must like my garden. For a diploid and a UFO, it makes very large fans. JAZZ ME BLUES: Another Bennett intro. A great increaser and I love the bloom. Will occasionally throw a pattern. I don't always like to follow rules so this is an honorable mention: JACK BE NIMBLE. Gold is not my favorite color, but this plant just pumps out blooms and rebounds from continued abuse - dividing. I dug up the entire clump in the Spring and moved it to a new location and was unaffected. That is all from me. David...See More

Greywoods Notability
White Satin
Greywoods Shades of Lace
Heavenly Angel Ice
Bridgeton Elegance
Fortress of Solitude
Lillian's Vapor Trail
Luna (white with yellow-green overtones)
Forsyth Summer Snow

Snowboarding
Stardust Dragon
One Cat too Many
A seedling of mine out of Awaken the Dawn
look at the edge on it......(remember this is in zone 4/5 central New Hampshire!)
It does have a pink blush to it when the weather is cold......
Royal Frosting, an oldie but one that is purest white

5 months agoNice whites! I especially like Debra's seedlings and Celeste's seedling with the huge edge!
We don't grow many whites. We didn't get to see some of them because of the trees crushing them. Arctic Bear and Lillian's Thin Ice (probably my favorite) were victims of the storm.
Last Snowflake was particularly nice this past season.
Chill is a small diploid white.
See Me-Feel Me-Touch Me is more cream.
That's all for me.Nancy

5 months agolast modified: 5 months agoNan and Sherry - Thanks for the comments on the seedlings! About half of my near whites either didn't bloom or were eaten by deer. Here are two seedlings that bloomed for the first time last year:. Both bloomed as lates, and I hope they will be lates in the future.
(August Frost X Winter's Angel) X Last Snowflake
Zuzu's Treasure X Believe in Angels - This one sometimes looks white and other times looks very light yellow. It had bud counts in the mid teens.
Nan - I like your photo of Last Snowflake. I missed mine last year since it didn't scape at all.Celeste - I love that photo of White Satin, and also your Forsyth Summer Snow X Green Icon. That is an amazing edge on your Awaken the Dawn seedling!
Sherry - Sunday Gloves looks so white! I always like your photos of How High the Moon!

5 months agolast modified: 5 months agoSome very nice whites here. I too only have a few. It is nice to have them here and there but I really love color.
I got this in a trade many years ago in yahoo daylily group. It is very white-this picture doesn't do it justice. A seedling by Viette. Very late.
Joan Senior, hard to beat its whiteness.
