O daylilies 2025
We finish the week with O daylilies. Please show us what you have.
The first three pictured are all late bloomers.
Orchid Corsage, an oldie that does well here. It stays because it is a late, can’t have enough of those.
Ollalie Keith had been here a short time. It is due for an increase, not much so far🤞🏻.
Olfactory Evidence is my latest bloomer. Bloom time last season was a bit early, guessing the weather was the reason since I remember last season blooming being generally compacted.
Orange Smoothie, my second attempt and doing well. This is 2023 photo. In my photos the past season the color was really off.

last monthSHERRY: Orange Smoothie looks great.
OUR FRIEND OLIN: Wonderfully ruffled diploid.
Once Over Lightly: An older Bennett intro. Looks great when at clump strength.
OUTRAGEOUS: An attention getter in the garden.
That is all I have to contribute to this letter.

last monthSherry, I'm guessing you got Olallie Keith from Celeste. It is very pretty; I hope it increases for you. Is it very late?
David, Our friend Olin is my favorite of these.

Comments (30)I just realized I didn't post a photo of Royal Invitation, which is one of the best Emmerichs I grow. It's a great multiplier and rebloomer and was taller for me than registered. I didn't get a photo of it last year, but here are a couple from previous seasons. Sometimes it's toothy, and sometimes it's not. In cool temps it has mostly a white edge, and in high heat the edge is cream and gold. Royal Invitation Royal Invitation clump I got some dynamite kids from it, which unfortunately got left behind. I'll have to duplicate the cross here. Royal Invitation X (Razor Sharp X Spacecoast Night Vision) Debra...See MoreT daylilies 2025
Comments (25)I see that Tiger Fish is out of Bass Gibson. Through Dark Waters out of Bela Lugosi. Tickle Fingers. This Davisson is not that tall, but quite attractive both in color and cascading form. Tigrillo Afternoon. Nice blend of colors; later blooming. Tattered Heart. Tall plant; large flowers. The Food Channel did well this past season. Toucan Sam did better in 2023. Was divided. Tahiti Sweetie was better budded in 2023 than in this 2024 pic. Teeth of Iron. Difficult to capture the dark color of this Emmerich. Not fast growing. Taller than picture suggests. Tactical Deception --a smoky color that I find appealing. The Dream Society. While it didn't perform as well in heat and drought, this later bloomer did show its deep color. A Hanson out of Moldovan lines. Moderate increaser. Tao of Physics. Out of Worlds Collide. The X Files. Performed very well in 2024 (Hanson). Twitch (This Davisson looks promising.) Another Thomas Tew. Good height, though bud count is typical of older Stamiles. Truth Teller. This Emmerich did well despite the heat and its dark color. Another Two Sues Not pictured is The Goldilocks Effect, which got disturbed in painting the neighbor's fence. Tropical Fusion. Vivid, but not ideal branching. Tonight's the Night benefited from tree trimming and looked good. Hanson...See MoreW daylilies 2025
Comments (16)Wispy Rays has varied in height here. Progeny Painted Demon is more consistent in height and bloom, though the size and sizzling watermark of Wispy is hard to beat. Aaron Brown, another kid, can also have some off years. No picture this year. Woodside Amethyst is an attractive color. I agree that Which Way Jim is a good deep color. Wolfman is quite pricey, I see. Wrenetta didn't do well here. Another White Eyes Pink Dragon Webster Girls is a big plant Written in Stone is one that Karol is rightly proud of. Not the best picture this past year. Wine in the Gazebo has a rich color and nice eyezone/watermark. Around 26 -28 inches here. Witch King of Angmar is a fairly new plant here that has had to endure two difficult summers. Attractive coloration, but has been so far much closer to 5 than 6 inches. Wild Cherry Wine. Like most dips, it takes a while to recover from division. I have better pics from other years of Willow Dean Smith. White Icon is large and very white, but not a fast multiplier Woot Woot. A newer plant. It will be interesting to see its varying forms....See MoreX, Y and Z daylilies 2025
Comments (13)Nan: I like Yauhuanna Lake. I've tried a few Tanner's now and they do pretty good for me considering.....Sherry: Yellow Monkey was probably the first UF I saw that even remotely appealed to me. Are you saying the scapes sprawl or the whole plant? .... I'd forgotten about a new puppy and nighttime crying. When I had my first puppy I complained to my vet about how different dogs were from cats. He told me I didn't have a dog, I had a puppy. The dog would come later. That simple fact had never occurred to me..........Debra: I like both colors on Zuzu's Treasure. The form itself is just about perfect.....Maryl...See MoreRelated Professionals

last monthlast modified: last monthSherry, Orchid Corsage is always so pretty in your photos! And blooming late can indeed be a bonus. I am glad you got another Orange Smoothie because your first one was always stunning.
David, I can see how Outrageous would garner attention, especially in clump form.
Not many Os for me.
Orange Blossom Trail is pretty but blooms short and has not multiplied well for me. It gets lost being in the middle of some tall plants
Orange Velvet is one I really like. Even when it fades in hot sun, I like the color fade
October Fest is a sprawler as you can see
Ocean Spirit
Old Mount Vernon is an older one I still like for a near white
Here is Orange Velvet after a run in with afternoon western sun

last monthKate - Ocean Spirit is one I will miss. I left it behind, as I did all dips except Rainbow Maker. It has darker color for you than it did in my garden.
Sherry - I'm always drawn to your photos of Olfactory Evidence - wish I could smell its fragrance.
David - That's quite a clump of Outrageous!
I no longer possess any O's. These were the best of my O's from last year:
Once Bitten Twice Shy had lovely color but no teeth early in the season when it was cool. Later blooms in extreme heat had plenty of teeth but washed out color.
Ocean Spirit didn't get enough sun but was multiplying pretty well.

last monthlast modified: last monthAlmost missed this one. Ocean Spirit is a UF I've always liked. And I also like Our Friend Olin.
A new one last year. I liked the pattern. We will see how it does this year.
Online Shopper:
I really enjoy this daylily. Unusual color and consistently good flower form with plenty of blooms most years. It surprised the heck out of me this year reblooming in August. I always like seeing yours Sherry to compare.Orange Smoothie - This is from the rebloom. The color on all the re-blooms was more saturated for some reason.

Once Over Lightly--I too like the white midrib. Orange Velvet is nice, but a bit of a space hog here. O'Bannon Orchid looks interesting. Are the scapes strong on this diploid?
Omega Red is a tall bloomer with large flowers.
One for Steve did well in 2023, but wasn't memorable in 2024. Blooms just above the foliage.
One Last Dance was quite attractive last summer. Here it catches the morning rays.
Another pic later in the day. Some sneer at those who still relish Moldovans. Since they usually grow vigorously, the price is too low for some. I remember one person haughtily noting on Facebook: "I don't buy anything for less than $50."
Origins of Totalitarianism. I think Curt chose this name because it is hard to pronounce.
Not the best pic of Ocean Spirit. Scapes are quite strong, and it is well budded.
Once and for All --This Korth will have to grow a lot.
