Have had these two for a few years, from moving and having plastic tags they were broken and names lost. Would really appreciate any possible names.

If you have a list of names of daylilies you have bought, we might be able to match it up.

Otherwise, it is my opinion that you can never be sure what the name is. With over 70,000 named ones out there, and many, many that look alike - there is no way to be sure what the name is. Then, throw in the thousands of unnamed seedlings that hybridizers give away or sell from their gardens each year that never did have a name. Giving a "No ID" a name, or guessing it is a given cultivar only muddies the waters if you ever give a piece of the plant to anyone else.

When I get a plant from someone, I want to know it is the correct plant, not that they guessed what it was, or the person they got it from guesses what it was.

So if you have the names you originally planted, we might be successful at figuring out what you have. If you don't have the list, we can guess - but remember, there are lots of daylilies that look alike, so it there is no way to know for sure.

Also a list of where you purchased might help you ID. You can send the photos to them and they might be able to help.

I love that Curt Hanson named a plant JUST ANOTHER YELLOW! Yup, that is how it goes.

Oh, knowing if they are dip or tet might help you get an ID as well. Can you tell?

And, if you bought them at a daylily garden or big box store.

They are beautiful, even without a name!

Me, too,

As far as the orange one, do you recall buying "Bold Tiger"? Mine looks a little different but I just thought I'd suggest it

It looks quite a bit like Frank Smith also.

The yellow one resembles Star Search. Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Starsearch')

How is the bud count, branching on these two...... do you know if they are dormant or evergreen? Do you see any green above ground now?

Both of them are dormant and as for Dip. or Tet. I don't know how to tell the difference ( which is probably why none of the crosses I attempt produce seed). The orange one I bought from a local garden centre but the yellow could have come from one of four mail order nurseries I generally buy from. Basically I don't have any other information. I thought the yellow may have been Tetrina's Daughter but no, it isn't. I guess I'll just have to enjoy them as they are and learn to keep better records. Trouble is when I bought these (and many others) I didn't make much of an effort to keep the names as I just bought flowers I liked never thinking I may some day want to do more than just have a nice garden. Now I keep a photo record and proper labels on my new purchases.

We've all been there, done that Bryan!

Do you belong to a daylily club up there? There will be a fantastic meeting coming up shortly. Ontario Daylily Society big spring bash! I've attended that one. Nice friendly group with lots of daylilies and goodies for sale with good buys! You need to register for this affair.

Second Annual Hybridizers' Forum

ODS will be hosting its second Hybridizer's Forum. It's not just for ODS hybridizers and members, but for anyone interested in daylilies, their propagation and culture. Director Brian Schram is hard at work organizing this exciting event. All details will be out soon and in the meantime you can contact Brian at [email protected] or at 905-382-5591.

I've never been able to go to the meetings. I've been wanting to go for years now but always end up having to work those weekends. My job interferes too much in my social life
I'll definitely e-mail Brian and see if I can go.

Any possibility that the yellow could be Techny Spider? I know I bought one a number of years ago. Here's another picture of the same plant with a slightly different look to it.

Techny Spider has a small bubbly edge that was way ahead of it's time. It also has a slight pink blush. Here are a few photos in the database

Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Techny Spider')

I don't think it's Techny Spider.
