@beckygardener
The bloom looks splotchy, is that the result of thrips, or just an early bloom?

My bloom season is in full swing!

Waves of Joy


Dan's Simply Superb


Orange Spice


Banana Pancakes


Tuscan Blue


Golden Sunlight


Lillian's Vapor Trails

Arlene, your lovely selection explains why we are all crazy about daylilies. So varied from the fiery golds to the delicate porcelain like, Tuscan Blue. And the pure yellow self to the flamboyant Waves Of Joy. And Becky's opening thread bloom

My Ruffled Shawl has been flowering away.
We are having some cool days and nights, so nice after a long hot summer. But the pumpkin keeps growing tho I pull it out.

Thank you Daylilydreamer for sharing your daylilies.

I did have a few new blooms in the garden this morning:
'Red Squirrel': Fist bloom on this plant for the year. It is a small bright little bloom.

A NOID: Even though this is a NOID I will use it to hybridize a few plants. It is a tall plant, sends up lots of scapes, multiples rapidly(new fans still forming), it has some great branching also. It has already produced my first proliferations (its is common on this plant). And even more, it has scapes on it already of three different stages, so rebloom and maybe instant rebloom with it. Not sure exactly how long the bloom season is on it but the best I remember it is pretty long.

Five way branching:

Adding one more photo of my NOID showing a scape and a lady bug looking for lunch. Since early spring I have seen very few aphids, and now even the snails and slugs appear to be very scarce.

Any chance this might be 'Buddy's Wild and Wonderful'? A James Hall daylily. He sells on the LA.

Good call Donald!

Looks just like it to me, mine is also blooming now.

I agree with you guys, Sure looks like BW&W to me.

'Wally' has been blooming for a few days now. Stunted scapes this year but loaded with buds.


Another one loaded with buds and scapes this year is my NOID.

Stan,
Your NOID reminds me of Pony.
Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Pony')

Thanks, Valarie.
There are some similarities. Only thing I can remember about this one is that it was a box store bagged CV. I've looked at thousands of photos of similar, but no matches to it yet. Thought the name might grab me while looking, but the search continues...

Stan, I've had a bunch of stunted scapes, too.

Here are some blooms from this morning:

Promises Kept (a real favorite!)


Thin Man


Lavender Lighthouse (it was on the cover of Water Mill Gardens catalog this year)


Sunny Safari


Tuscan Blue (again, posted earlier, but this is a better bloom)


Light Me Up (I don't think it can produce more ruffles!)


This is an unnamed seedling that Dan Trimmer gave me (I love red!)

Arlene, you have some very nice ones.

I only have 80 plants, so I can be very, very picky. And I am!!

How nice to see blooms starting! I'm just starting to get a few scapes here. Arlene, all of yours are glorious. I'm glad to see you like Promises Kept as that was a new one for me last year, and I look forward to seeing its blooms this Spring. Fred, I sure like the looks of that Jurassic Park. I wish I had bought it before Maryott closed.
