Favorite orange, peach, melon daylilies
Please show us what you have in this category and how they perform for you.
Finally getting much needed rain the past week or so.
Woman at the Well is hard to pick a main color, so unusual. It has good increase and increasing bud count.
After Tyger River languishing here a long time it finally did well last season. It was in too much shade and it got moved to a new spot when I removed some poor performers. Hope it continues to improve.
Primal Scream had a great season.
Pizza Crust is a great performer here. Last season was not its best but still did better than many other daylilies.
Cat Dancer, love the pattern and color, very consistent blooms.
Forest God , lovely bloom, wish it was more vigorous here.
Savannah Debutante is a new favorite….tall and perfect blooms.

2 months agoSherry - Great photo of Primal Scream! Forest God is so pretty! Does it not multiply for you?
Maui Sunrise is my favorite in this color class.
Kentucky Lucky is a terrific peach polychrome.
Chilled Orange Sorbet is a nice orange sherbet.
Minstrel Singer is a melon blend.

Debra, Forest God has not been vigorous and last season didnt help. It was among many that didn’t fare well. I love it, just hoping it does better this year, due for a leap.
I love Chilled Orange Sorbet, reminds me a bit of the one below I forgot to post.
I forgot to add Orange Smoothie. It is my second attempt and it is doing well. The color here is more saturated than I see, best photo.

Comments (38)I don't know if mine are fragrant or not but I love love love the oranges. I too love Tuscawilla Tigress and Primal Scream. I have them in a bed with other favorite oranges and deep purple May Night Salvia in front and Black Knight butterfly bushes behind! Also in this bed are: Hot Lava, Old Time Memories, Heavenly Dragon Fire, Tiger Eye Spider, and Texas Heat Wave. I hope to move Inca Prince in with them soon- - -Gorgeous! I have to get myself that Alabama Jubilee. That is a beauty!...See MoreYour Favorite Oranges
Comments (31)Next to yellow, orange is my favorite daylily color. I try a new orange it seems every year. I grew Spirit Fox last year but it died over our severe winter (in a pot as are most of mine). That is one magnificent garden shot of it Celeste. Flaming Wildfire is already on my list because of you too....Heavenly Orange Blaze is a beauty in person as well as in your photo Edward, and Tuscawilla Tigress bloomed its fool head off for me this year. A good one it seems for both north and south.... I like the form and the mellow cantalope color of Pumpkin Power too. Well, all of them are great and I look forward to more being posted.......Maryl...See MoreYellow, Orange, Peach, and Melon

Comments (41)Samhain10 ...thanks for your comment on my seedling #7 ....It really is an odd color but if you were to see it in real life it is exactly like the picture If I were to register it though, I am not sure how exactly I could possibly describe the color . Here are 2 more images of the same seedling ( the second image not so great) but it shows how the color can be different from day to day. All different views seem to be temperature/weather dependent. ]] ...... it is not pink per se , not peach either not mauve , there are some brown tones and some greyish tones thrown in there too , not an easy plant to describe ...amazing what Mother Nature can produce ....See MoreRelated Professionals

2 months agolast modified: 2 months agoSherry, great picture of Primal Scream. I also like Cat Dancer.
Debra, Maui Sunrise is always one l enjoy seeing!
I'll not post Primal Scream since Sherry posted such a great photo of it.
Acclaim is a reliable one. Mid-late, large flowers.
Coral Majority blooms well every year, plenty of buds, nice and bright.
South Seas also very reliable and bright.
Orange Velvet. I never get a good picture of it, always looks too yellow. It is nice and tall, large flowers with good substance.
Highland Pinched Fingers, gives lots of good shows daily, very bright.
Primal Scream x South Seas, new this year. Really love it.

2 months agolast modified: 2 months agoI'm getting down to the shorter rows of gardening chores. We haven't had a freeze yet, but the cold nights we have had in the high 30's off and on took their toll on my warm season annuals which will get the heave ho soon. Have almost all of the daylilies moved back up front to their warmer, west facing, winter grounds. I sure hope we don't continue with these really cold winters we've been having these last few years..........Sherry: Cat Dancer always looks so good for you in your climate. I so like it.........Debra: Chilled Orange Sorbet is a pretty pale one. Nice form.............Brad: I lost South Seas after growing it for decades this last cold winter. I'm happy to see yours still going strong.......I have quite a few in this catagory. So many shades of orange I like. I'll post a few here and do more later:
Abstract Orange. A Salter. He did well with the color orange of the ones I've tried. Has good heat resistance:
Another Salter Orange. Dazzling color; very heat hardy. A long time favorite:Burning Inheritance:
One of the few patterned daylilies I grow. Large flowers. Needs garaged over winter with my pot system, but I will not be without it:To God Be The Glory:
One Sherry and I both share. Color shifts a bit as day goes on, but mostly orange range in my climatge. This is a rebloom in August.Orange Smoothie:

2 months agoWe so have so many orange ones it would be difficult to show those. Maybe I'll post some of them tomorrow.
Here are some melon/peach ones.
Cantaloupe Capers is a strong grower in our garden.
Apricot Symphony
Dynamic Apricot Ruffles
Indigent Hobbit is a great grower in our garden.
Something in My Teeth is a petite plant in our garden. The flowers are glorious though.
I'll post some orange tomorrow.Nancy

Nan: I like Cantaloupe Capers and the edge on Something In My Teeth. A shame it's a short one.....Thanks Brad. Burning Inheritance is an eye catcher in the border.
I'll add the rest of my orange shades. Didn't realize I still had so many in my much reduced collection. I do like orange though so that suites me fine.
I've had NO WAY JOSE for years now. It produces beautiful blooms that have good color retention and heat hardiness, but it remains a short plant:
Trying to find a dayliliy similar to No Way Jose, but with taller scapes I trialed Gossard's Blazing Double Sunset this year. It had a lot going for it, and if you live in a cooler summer climate then mine it more then likely would be colorfast. But it sure wasn't here when it went over 90..Blazing Double Sunset:
Another one of my must haves. It's been with me from almost the beginning.Coral Corduroy:
Fortunately for me, Nan almost duplicated the color of my much loved Burning Inheritance with her Muy Caliente. A really nice daylily that is cold hardier then BI in my pot system.Muy Caliente:
A really nice orange Sherbet color that takes our heat very well. Repeated for me in August.Better Than Ice Cream:
A new one for me this year. All the blooms were formed this way, but who knows next year if they will be singles. Really pretty color blend regardless of form:Contented Heart:
Now back to the salt mines outside while the weather still holds.......Marylsherrygirl zone5 N il thanked Maryl (Okla. Zone 7a) - 2 months agolast modified: 2 months agosherrygirl zone5 N il thanked Maryl (Okla. Zone 7a)
