Let's face it, in most climates, when we buy new plants and add them at this time of year, we're planning to see them bloom for the first time in 2019! I've been very bad recently, ordering more than I should. Ironic, as I'm digging and removing plants to make room for a few new ones. The circle never ends. The garden is getting smaller, but I'm still adding plants. Please share your lists of the new ones you're excited to grow for next year!


Just want to mention to those of you who've come to this hobby more recently than I. Over the years I've been very LUCKY To have made a group of good daylily friends, many of who like many of the same plants I do. We trade and swap a few plants each year in order to acquire some of those that are rare and really hard to find. Find a group of good trading buddies if you haven't already!! Of course, there are some so new that they must come directly from their breeders.

SO FAR, arriving this fall and next spring( and a few of these are here already, but potted up and will be not even planted until end of Sept. when I've made room and added compost to those areas. Most of these are minis and smalls, as I've FINALLY found my direction in hybridizing. This list will probably get longer, as a couple of favorite hybridizers haven't shown their 2019s yet, LOL.

Very nice list, Julie! I wish you all the best in your mini/small hybridizing efforts.

Don't you just love the name "Lillian's Quest for Grape-ness"? It is a cute name for a cute little bloom and was named by @scflowers (aka Regina) on Fred Manning's "Name this Daylily" earlier this year. It will be interesting to see what it will produce as a parent.

Unlike most folks, I am downsizing and giving some daylilies to a few ladies at work. There are a few though, that as I'm digging, I will keep a piece for myself, which defeats my purpose.

My purchases for 2019: STRAWBERRY CANDY and NELL DEAN. I know they are oldies, but there is a good reason.

Several years ago when I didn't have very many daylilies, my kids gave me a gift certificate for some plant markers. Since then, I gave away 'Strawberry Candy' and sadly 'Nell Dean' died, both of which had those special markers. I found both for sale at Cheryldaylilies.com and have purchased them again so that I can use my markers again. I am very excited to be getting them back in my garden.

Let's see.. I posted the few I bought under the other "buying" thread, but I didn't list those I am getting in trade:

Shadow Walker
Topguns Pinwheel
So Many Stars
Divine Comedy (my daughter's trade)
and one more yet to be determined- DD#5's choice (I'm enabling her )

I'm trading Lickety Split, Ocean Spirit (x2), Sun Bear seeds and seedlings, and Give Me Eight seeds.
Always open to more though

Thus far I've behaved- 8 total daylilies order/planned for 2019's growing season.

I have bought Laura Harwood (had a couple buds so saw the bloom already) south seas, Francis of Assisi (died should be getting a replacement), Bestseller, Black Stockings, Scaramouche, Sabine Baur, Blizzard Bay, Big KISS (trade) roswitha (trade) Berrylicious, creature of the Night, Dallas Star (trade) Exploded Pumpkin, Mary Todd (bonus plant) Seal of Approval, bunch more on my wish list but haven't decided on any more yet & everytime I go on 2018 blooms more get added!

I hope to find Purple Tarantula in Canada for 2019.

I hope to find Star of Kryptonite at a more affordable price or trade if possible. On reserved list though is Lillian's Quest for Grapeness. Not sure what else will be added but garden space is definitely in very short supply next year.

I would like Egyptian jewelry

I have already posted my list on the other thread, but just added Caribbean Victoria Jewell from Bonnie Nichols. This is an unregistered daylily by Talbott, but since I don't show daylilies, it doesn't matter to me. I really like Talbott's Caribbean Whipped Cream, but don't like the short scapes. I am hoping this will turn out to be very similar with taller scapes.

I'm not sure if I'll have the funds for all of them but my must have list for 2019 includes
Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Ephemera')
Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Gullwing')
Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Moonlight Dragon')
Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Nile Princess')
Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Tranquil Tiger')
and Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Wild Watercolor')

So far I'm planting or have planted these this fall and hoping for 2019 blooms. The problem is I wasn't going to order any more for awhile - Famous last words

Nosferatu

Daring Deception

Wow, Ginny! How many daylilies do you have now? Nice looking list:)

And I just realized I was looking at the wrong list for classifieds on NGA - I just checked on a "couple" from Twixnddud
I believe I'm up to around 440 different ones without including these I'm requesting

I was going to hold down to ten this fall, but Ginny inspired me to keep going, so I am up to 13 with the addition of Atomic Glow--I also have bids on a couple on the Lily Auction.

Well keep on going Avedon because you're a little behind and I just ordered:

Cinderella's Dark Side
Ivory Titan
Just Fabulous
All Of My Love To You
Soul On Fire
Glamoureyez
Mount Ararat
Heavenly United We Stand

Never should have looked at the NGA classified ads

Alas, Ginny, I will never be able to catch up to you, but as long as I get to look at your daylilies, I will be very happy.

Same here! The blooms threads for the last 4 months have really brightened many of my days!

I love looking at what everyone has.

Ginny no wonder you don't grow seedlings

I fell into the trap again, looked at Laura's sale list, and just added Vanishing Mist. Laura (twixanddud) has a beautiful clump picture of it on the NGA database.
