J daylilies 2024
We are starting the week with J daylilies, I only have a few.
We are due for warmer temps this week along with freezing rain on Monday, rain chances the rest of the week. With the snow we have I am guessing the back yard will be a swampy mess for awhile.
Joan Derifield had a lower bud count last season. It looks like Gently Down the Stream which has done better than Joan the past several seasons.
Jolyene Nichole had a big variation in bloom color last season, bud count was abit lower. This is the most saturated pink it displayed.
Jury’s Out was new to the garden, first blooms. I got this daylily from Laura after checking out the stats…. bud count she had was 32- 72 per scape in her garden……check out her photos on NGA. It is a late bloomer, I am hoping for great things here.

3 months agoI'm looking forward to a warmer day to start the week. I sure hope it melts most of the ice on the roads.

3 months agolast modified: 3 months agoWe are in store for warmer temps at last, along with big rain “events” but at least it will melt the snow and ice. Local schools are out for a sixth day today. While we Southerners are often the butt of the ”milk and bread runs” and ”can’t drive in snow” jokes, the truth is we (nor most people) can’t drive on ice!! And ice is what we usually get as a prelude to snow. And yes, I am totally out of milk and bread!!! :)
Not many Js here
JP Moneybags is being smothered by a shrub rose but managed to bloom
Journey of Magic, courtesy of Kay, has flourished
Judge Judy has not found its stride yet
Jazz Me Blues has not multiplied well
And this morning my gardens had a visit from this guy and his companion. And so it begins!

Comments (18)Sherry--Heavenly Hidden Treasure also looks good here. Last season it was a bit on the short side. I like that green throat on Heavenly Breezes. Her Best Bloomers certainly has an intense color in your pic. Nancy--I am glad to see the Hillside cultivars. I see the posts of Mussar on Facebook, where he details all the work that goes into hybridizing, including tilling and weeding along with indoor growing. Heavenly Grave Digger looks interesting, but yes, the name--it really makes me cringe when joined with "heavenly". I'll take some of the Hanson names any day. Heavenly Christmas Cactus is supposed to double half way through the season. Would be interested in seeing a pic of the doubling. David--I like the picture of Have a Heart, and I see it is taller than some Bennetts. I have not seen it on your list of favorites, though. Debra--Hillbilly Heart looks good in your garden, but performance (years ago) was poor here. Hearts that Care is a clear shade--a Holley evergreen, I see. Brad--Highland Pinched Fingers is a nice landscaping cultivar, with taller scapes and eye-catching color. It is in the Urgent Care bed here, but deer were a problem last summer (even with nightly spraying). Maryl--Heartless here looks just like your pic, but I am wondering what it will look like in a clump. Honky Tonk Barbie was too short here to suit me, but probably ideal for a pot. Not much rebloom here, but I think you said that rebloom scapes are taller. Handwriting on the Wall was the best I have seen it. Baffled why a minority of cultivars seemed to like the 2023 winter/spring. Heman is tall and looked quite good last summer. Petit's Half Moon Key actually performed better. Hush Little Baby always attracts enough attention to stay. Heavenly Bombshell, a parent of C Cactus. Heavenly Dragon Fire --a very iridescent shade of orange. Some people automatically dismiss all oranges in a single category. Harper's Bazaar has been short at the estate, with its peculiar challenges (like growing next to bordering boxwood). So I have moved it. I constantly have to roll down umbrellas that someone has unfurled next to the pool. Heartless is a bright color, but plant habit is unknown. Heavenly Dark Matter --earlier color display Heavenly Explosion --more tailored flower but not as vigorous. Heavenly Star Fire --early, large, and tall. Not a fast multiplier here. Heavenly United We Stand got disturbed by the fence painting. Peace with neighbor was more important. Heavenly Tiger Tails is a vigorous earlier bloomer. Recently moved....See MoreM daylilies 2024
Comments (18)Mystery of the Ages here had few blooms; didn't like last summer. Money Maker was nice its first year here, but the last two have had question marks. Memphis has been quite reliable here, though subpar last year. Margo Reed Indeed--what can I say? The "slight" defect of blooming just above the foliage is not slight here. Nor is its bloom compelling in an era of Isabelle Rose. I had someone asking for it and tried to convince him to choose something else, but he was persistent. It may have more merits farther south. Martha Edson Norris --showy, but indeed short by nature. Mitch Lynd--heavily budded, but blooms don't seem to crowd each other out. Mama Drama --subpar the past year; picture from 2022 Man of Sorrows --subpar. Needed to be divided too. Out of Joan Derifield Makayla Jenelle --don't know why it is not more widely grown. Boatwright Mai Tai --nice the past year; not a fast multiplier here Morning Mood --subpar year. A favorite here, but not widely grown. Pic from earlier year. Mahogany Magic from 2022. Bad year the past summer. Mary's Gold --a beacon in the later garden, rivaling Bill Norris in this color. Magic Lace. I still have this one, though David appears to have deleted it. Memphis this past summer --bud count can be modest, but flowers are consistent showstoppers. Mister Butters produced this picture past summer. Mary Lightfine, an evergreen, actually liked the past summer. Those that outperformed last year may not like more "typical" summers (if one dares to use "typical" anymore). This is the parent of Mary's Baby--hence, the name. And Mary's Baby this year, a subpar year. Minnesota Nice was subpar compared with this pic from 2022. It needs to be divided. Another one that seems not to be widely grown....See MoreO daylilies 2024
Comments (7)In my opinion,this is the most unusual daylily that i grow: OUR NEW KERMITMENT. I'm not sure I like it, but it is different. It was gifted to me by a friend in Maryland, because I would not buy it. I will be curious to what it looks like in clump strength. OFF BEAT: One of two Maryott's that I still grow. This one is vigorous in Zone 5. I divided the entire clump and left two fans for myself two years ago and I had 4 fans last year. ONCE OVER LIGHTLY: A Bennett introduction. OKLAHOMA SAND BURR: I wasn't quite sure if this one was going to survive the winters here. It continues to improve each year. I suspect that this is one that does not like being disturbed. Those are all the Os that I have. Have a great day! David...See MoreSn-Sz daylilies 2024
Comments (17)Sweeping Shadows the last couple of years has shown signs of tenderness. Short indeed. Earlier, it seemed to do okay. Next summer will be key. Perhaps Star Lord will take off this year; it's an evergreen. Brad's Stealth Bomber appears to have good branching; too slow to show its stuff here, so deleted. Stargate Portal--always low budcount and nothing last year. Sweet Isabela--always nice. Scapes could be more upright. Always glad to hear about Evick cultivars. He introduces a lot, but I don't hear much feedback. Same experience as Debra's with Strawberry Alarm. Sun Panda --Culver. Very saturated eye. Good growth Still the One --excellent in bud count, growth, color. Earlier blooming and tall. Sultry Girls --reliable and rich color. More susceptible to spotting than other Davissons I have. Good height. Stop the Car --well budded Gossard Star of India --excellent performance last summer. An early bloomer that must have liked something that other cultivars didn't. Nights were not as cool as usual in early June, so that may have been a factor. Sweetest Name I Know --newer plant Stone Palace Ecstasy. --It's growing here, but too early to evaluate. Color is rich. Substantial Treasure --performed better than most last summer. Stolen Treasure --subpar last year, with far fewer scapes and buds. Stone Palace Swagger --I very much like the rich color and size. Other factors still a question. Spacecoast Hot Lips --sent by mistake by Northern Lights. Very tall. Spacecoast Red Dazzler --nice color, but plant habit and performance a ?. Spunky Girls --excellent scape, bud placement, color. Looks great against the estate wall. Earlier. Soft Summer Night --poor performance last summer. From 2022. Spinal Tap --short last summer (pic from last summer). Sweet isabela --subpar Soft Play --a newer Hanson Sword of Justice --I like it, but performance so-so last summer. Storm Surge --newer Hanson Spirit of Hope --a Korth. Second year, but difficult to evaluate in a bad year. Sputnik --a favorite early Davisson. Good height. Snowflake Empress --off year for this Dougherty. Pic from previous year....See Moresherrygirl zone5 N il

3 months agoFreezing rain is predicted for this evening here. I hope it doesn't get too bad. The ice won't last long as temps are supposed to warm up a bit.
I like Jack Sprat. Joylene Nichole is a very pretty pink.
I don't have many J's to post. This is Je Suis Charlie. It needs to be moved since it gets buried in weeds.
Jeepers Creepers is a nice patterned one.
JJ It is Mine bloomed for the first time last season (planted in late May in 2022). It was impressive.
That's all for me.Nancy

3 months agoBrad and Sherry: Since I love pink dips, Jolyene Nichole is my favorite. Nancy: I like Jeepers Creepers and I like Kate's JP Moneybags. Debra: Your Jitterbug Blues looks interesting.
JELLYROLL MORTON: Rebloomed for me this past summer. The color holds well. Relatively new. Hoping that it reaches its registered height.
JELLY MAKER: Relatively new. Too new to comment.
JUBILEE BALL: A Bennett intro and taller than most. I love how the blooms face outward.
JERRY HYATT in the morning.
JERRY HYATT in the afternoon. Good garden plant.
JOAN DERIFIELD: Another good Hanson intro. This was in the morning before work. Blooms still openning up.
JAZZ ME BLUES: Another Bennett intro. Seems to really get going after three years of being undisturbed.
JACK BE NIMBLE: This one is an attention getter. Tall scapes, increases well, many buds. I like the faint reddish eye. Blooms are on the large size. I moved the entire clump from the front bed and it acted like it was never moved.
JACQUELINE KENNEDY ONASSIS: A gorgeous light pink. I love this plant.
JAMAICAN MIDNIGHT: An older Salter that is rather velvety looking in the a.m.
That is all from me.
Have a great day.
