Patterned Daylilies 2023
Show us your pretty patterned daylilies here. A patterned daylily is one that exhibits different colors or variations in hue, value, or saturation in such a way that a design is created. The definition includes, but is not limited to, regular repeating patterns (e.g. flowers exhibiting concentric rings orfeathering of color within the eyezone or elsewhere). You may include applique patterns here. Although the American Daylily Society has expanded its definition of pattern to include stippling, streaking or stripes, we will have a separate category for those. The next category will be Polychromes on Friday.

T daylilies 2023
Comments (21)Thanks for the pic, Kate. Looks quite saturated. Maryl, Ruby Grandeur isn't a rapid multiplier, but I may have it in the fall. I don't think Richard Norris will be sending out plants this year, except perhaps for a new introduction and for select customers. He told one person he couldn't accept an order. I did see Tropical Tease once at his garden upon its introduction. Seemed vigorous. Celeste, some interesting ones. Throned in Glory, in particular. Korth doesn't keep his old cultivars very long, so some get lost in the trade. Trance, good here. The Bride of Dracula--one of those hard-to-get plants. Someone should mention The Band Played On. A very worthy cultivar, though the bud count is modest. Tomato Clownfish. Very bright and strong edge on clear yellow. A Grossmann intro. I am interested in feedback on more of his intros. Some have not had good scapes. Truth Teller (Emmerich) --nice, but doesn't like afternoon sun Thundercat. Good last year. Tickle Fingers --nice, but too soon to evaluate thoroughly. Teeth of Iron --vivid, but short and not a fast multiplier. Tahitian Waterfall --an appealing shade of coral pink Tar and Feather --striking black purple eyezone. Nice display in the early garden. The Goldilocks Effect. Still the finest polychrome here. But many people recoil from anything gold or yellow. Tropical Fusion --very colorful. Scape is not ideal, but makes an impact in the landscape. Nan grows it. Also recommended: Tigrillo Afternoon, Tactical Deception, Tiger by the Tail (with some reservations). But I've already pushed the envelope....See MoreSchedule for Daylily Color Posts 2023
Comments (4)Will we do a post for seedlings? Or is that something for after New Year's when we do the alphabet? I'm not sure I'll have time to do it then because I get so busy selling on the Lily Auction then. I have lots of seedling pictures and I suspect you do too, Debra. I've been thinking of you at this difficult time. I'm glad you are still up to doing these posts....See MorePurple Daylilies 2023
Comments (30)Playing catch up and working backwards. Purples are my next favorite color daylily after pink. A lot of good looking purples: FROM SEA TO SHINING SEA, SOLI DEO GLORIA, EDWARD ABBEY, PSYCHO CIRCUS, PAISLEY PAJAMAS (just added to my collection in September), OLLY OLLY OXEN FREE (need to get this one), and PURPLE TARANTULA. RAVEN LORE (Ginny Pearce intro): Give this one space. The fans are huge. It is well branched and budded. I have it sitting in full sun and it holds up well. PLANET MAX: Tall, well branched and budded. MONEY MAKER: First year in the garden. I like the bloom. To soon to talk about branching and bud count. ALONE AGAIN: Love the color of this one. Soft violet purple. The photo does not really capture the color. This one knocked my socks off when I saw it blooming for the first time. I have nothing else like it in the garden. VOODOO DANCER: It is registered as a black purple. I like it because it is different. LAURA HARWOOD DESIRE OF NATIONS: slow to increase, but a good plant. IMPERIAL DECREE: An older Benz purple that holds up well in full sun. ALONE AGAIN again - different angle CRYING IN THE WILDERNESS: Love the bloom - only wish it was taller RING NEBULA: A new Derrow intro that I am growing for the club. SUPERMODEL: Grows like a weed 29 FLAGS OVER CONWAY: a nice saturated diploid FREAKY PEOPLE: Another one that grows like a weed. Looks black first thing in the am. Seedling out of DESIRE OF NATIONS BELA LUGOSI: Putting on a great show. PURPLE CHEETAH: Interesting bloom WIDOW'S WALK: I like this older Moldovan. ULTIMATE ILLUSION: A rosy purple SCOTT FOX: HUMUNGOUSAUR: A very large purple That is it for this category. Have a great day! David...See MoreRed Daylilies 2023
Comments (23)Among the reds listed that didn't perform here this year but otherwise have been good: Wispy Rays (maybe a few blooms), Cherokee Star, Aaron Brown (not a single flower), Apache War Dance (stunted scapes), Dark Gethsemane (maybe a few flowers), Court Troubadour. I am sure they will be back. Ruby Spider had a superior year here. More flowers than usual and decent height. Height is usually an issue here with RS, though flowers are above the foliage. Bud count is always modest. Smuggler's Fire is one of many older reds that are very good, including the Peck and Gates reds. I have kept Gates's Sultry Siren because it is such a reliable performer. Stamile's Passion for Red is still the brightest in the garden here. Recent hybridizing goals have been to add ruffling, edges, unusual forms, teeth, and different hues. Unfortunately, none of Kirchhoff's fancier reds have done well here. I often wonder how Mary Baker in Nebraska grows them. Maybe snow cover. Well, some pics from here. The weather all week has been beautiful. A second Indian Summer. Mrs. Peepers is a Davisson. It garnered the attention of visitors last summer and is looking better in clump strength. Curt Hanson's Love in a Vacuum is a very rich color. Just shy of six inches here. Mighty Heart (Hensley) had a good year. Norris's Ruby Grandeur holds well. I wonder what will happen to his supply. A later bloomer--probably ML. Garry Bewcyk (Hansen) can be stunning when it is good, but is subject to splotches, depending on the year. Unfortunately, we don't have a category for near black--this one is on the burgundy side of black, but appears blacker than this pic. Owens' Mars Attacks looked good on this day--not a bright red. Arrogant Ba$tard had its best year ever. Named after a beer, but we know it is also meant to shock. The arrogance is apparent here. Forever and for Always. Good color. Modest bud count. Towards the rose spectrum. Evermore Greatful. Richard was very proud of this one, talking about its purity of color. Occasionally, the one petal is cockeyed (inherited from Worth It All). Leaves are a bit arching and dominating. Jin's Song--I like this early bloomer, even if it doesn't wow in bud count. The large flower, held high, really stands out in the garden. Red Headed Hussy --a ho-hum year, which isn't typical Fire Pegasus -another so-so year Velvet Hammer --more splotchiness and shorter scapes this year, but a remarkable flower for the north. A rosy shade of red. All American Chief had a great year, in spite of earwigs (a European gift). Geneva Firetruck. I like this one a lot--long-blooming spot of color in the garden. Sips of Sin --eager to see how this Hensley will look at clump strength. Mitch Lynd --floriferous Norris. A little slower to open fully. Joe Burrow Rogue Primate. A big plant that I moved to the estate next to Joe. Intense and sunfast. When hybridizers mention "husky" in their descriptions, I shudder. We don't all have big fields in which to grow plants. High bud count, but in this pic, just moved recently. Clash of Absolutes --lushly dark color. Plant habit is not ideal. Rainbow Butterfly. --I've never seen much of a pattern, but it's a nice airy dark flower (darker than pic) that looks good against this wall....See MoreRelated Professionals

last yearA few patterned daylilies here.
Stone Palace Divine has a subtle pattern, such a great daylily here.
Quasar Cutie is a smaller bloom, but blooms early. it was a good addition here.
Mysterious Eyes.
Green Eyed Envy did wonderfully this season when others suffered….an early bloomer.
That’s it for me.

last yearDebra, you have some beautiful patterned seedlings! My favorites are the Core Value seedling and the Karelia kid seedling.
We don't grow many patterned ones and I didn't get photos of some of my favorite ones.
Badenoch Jewel has some bands of color. It is a great grower here.
Broadway Mystique is a small flowered tet.
Choose Kind is a rather odd color combination.
Feanorian Lamps is turning out to be one of my favorite patterned ones. It is a diploid.
Generous Spirit so far has been consistent in patterning.
Nordic Sunshine is has several different faces, but I like them all.
Second Horizon seems to have more pattern on the sepals.
Jeeper Creepers looks like it is a good grower. The pattern is variable, but it usually has a pattern.
We planted Thunderbird Dancer is a not-so-great place. It hasn't lived up to its registered stats, but it is rather new so we will give it time. Mike Derrow's daylilies tend to do really well here.
That's all for me.Nancy
last yearDebra,
I think I commented on it during bloom season, but I like TIDES ROLL IN x ALL THINGS TO ALL MEN.
I do like some patterned daylilies, but I am not a fan of the canoing in the throat. I prefer petals that lay flat and many patterns like to canoe. I have talked with Ron Reimer about this and that is one of his goals. My other observation is that from a distance, one really can't see the pattern. Since I do like to sell plants when I have an open garden, I find that people are drawn to color, size and form and not a pattern. I find that patterns appeal to the daylily connoisseur. Just my opinion and observation.
FOUR BEASTS IN ONE: First year in my garden.
THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS: Great and consistent performer. (already posted under the pinks).
That is all from my garden.

David, I think your observations are right on the mark. One must add, of course, that lots of "patterned daylilies" are terribly inconsistent. Indeed, on some of them I have never seen a full pattern. People who buy just on sellers' pictures are likely to be disappointed (the sellers usually try to show as little of the canoeing as possible).
Vertical Horizon had especially good garden appeal
Handwriting on the Wall sometimes shows a broken pattern eye
Beach Party Pedicure always has a pattern, but remains to be seen how it presents as a garden plant. Out of Get Jiggy (a cultivar I love to hate) and Mystical Rainbow).
Are appliques considered patterns? I do like appliques. Quasar Cutie seems to be a consistently patterned cultivar. - last year
