Is it alright to ask if someone has a certain variety of daylily that you want to trade for on this forum, or is that frowned on for some reason? Sometimes when I check the database for a certain variety, very few people are listed as having that one, or, it is not listed that they want to trade or sell it. Yet I feel sure that there are probably people who DO have that variety, and would trade, but they are just not listed on the database.

At the top of the forum is a "sticky" post where anyone can list daylilies they are looking for...here is a link to the sticky where you can post your wanted daylilies.
The thread "Want to find Daylilies for Spring 2019" in Daylilies forum

I've asked people if they have it listed in their plant list as "wanted" and I have what they want offering to trade, or conversely if they have it as listed as "trade or sell" bartered a trade if they want... sometimes it's poor timing for them... or sometimes I don't hear back.

Also since I listed in the "wanted to find for 2019", I've had one person so far reach out to me to plan a trade for next year.

What are you looking for?

Daniel-- Ebony Pools, Lillian's Mud Bug Stew, and Halloween Masquerade are 3 I'm interested in at the moment

Not to be a jerk, but I think Char was wanting us to use: https://garden.org/thread/go/9... ...

Sorry if I did something wrong, I was just answering his question--maybe I should have sent him a tree-mail.

No you didn't do anything wrong! I think ( I'm also kinda new to this site) we're supposed to try and stay on thread to minimize confusion! sorry please don't be discouraged... we are all garden lovers and daylily addicts here

Thanks Tara, for the kind and encouraging words!! Even though I've used this site for several years, I feel like I've barely scratched the surface in understanding how to properly and best use it! But I have found it invaluable and so much fun as far as the few things I DO understand!!

I have said this before. I am always willing to trade anything that I have a lot of. I got a plant last fall thru this same method because I couldn't find it anywhere else to purchase. I don't have any of the ones that you are looking for.

Sorry I missed the additions to this thread while dealing with the change to a new computer.
Apologies to both pinkruffles and Tara for my causing the confusion. In the rush to do a last check of the forum before disconnecting the old computer I was a bit short in my reply. No one has to use the sticky for listing their wanted plants, but it does remain at the top of the forum where folks can find it. Individually made threads travel downward in the rotation and a wanted request will soon get lost in the shuffle. I should have explained better.
Good luck with your search, I hope someone(s) can help you find the daylilies you are looking for.

For myself, I don't think I have reached out to anyone, but i have had a couple of people contact me about a trade. One was looking for 2 of mine that happened to be new, the other ended up a great trade. I don't have the ones you are looking for unfortunately. I do have my list what is up for trade, but I just updated it. It had been over a year since I had really updated it, so never hurts to ask, some plants increase fast, but then I have some that just sit there.

I also am open for trade on any that I have, given that I have enough. Some of this depends on if they are new, or the weather. For example, this last winter was crazy hard on my lilies. We had unnaturally cold weather broken up by unnaturally warm weather. This killed many of my usually hardy and healthy lilies from large blooming clumps back to 2-3 fans.

I would recommend creating a plants list in your profile and marking the ones you want. I know when I'm looking to trade, I look at who wants what I have enough of and see if there's a match

I'm always up for a trade too

Me three!

T0: Daylily Growers and Hybridizers Interested in Daylily Trading

In the 1950's, 1960's, 1970's my father, the late Reverend Dr. Joseph Barth, often traded daylilies with many of his contemporary daylily hybridizers. Daylily
hybridizing during these years was not done by many; especially tetraploid hybridizing. My father was considered a pioneer and
freely shared his cultivars to help advance the tetraploid daylily. Barth Daylilies continues today at O'Donal's Nursery in Gorham, Maine. They do daylily trading for their hybridizing program. I am the eldest son of Reverend Barth and continue to hybridize primarily tetraploids for O'Donal's.
In spring 2021, I am looking for CONCORD TOWN, Moldovan, 1979. Also other purple tetraploids similar to my ALLISON HAYLEY (picture attached).

I tree mail if i am interested in something i cant find in classifieds.
All anyone can say is yes or no or not answer. Very nice people here. Tree mail is also a good tool when something someone said and is wrong without calling them out in public eye. And thank Garden.org for the almighty edit button. I use it frequently. to a bunch of daylily addicts. we have another.

I'm only on my third year of the addiction and I only grow diploids.
But, if you see something I have, say something. I love to trade.

I have built a new bed this year, and I am looking for some plants to fill the new bed with. I am mostly interested in Polys, miniatures, and doubles right now. Those are plants I have avoided growing pretty much, and I want this new bed to be of daylily forms and types that I would not normally grow.
Love high bud counts, and high branching numbers with good spacing, plants over 30 inches and a slew of other credentials, but as I said I am looking for plants I don't normally grow. Whether or not it has a high bud count or a high branch count, no matter what it is...I want it to have a high total amount of blooms each year and great plant habit.
But, my main interest has been Sculpted Relief over the past couple of years, so even through not for the new bed I would certainly be interested in Sculpted Relief that are at least 28 inches tall, with good stats. Needs to be over a 5 inch bloom. I am trying to hybridize for tall, plants with high bud counts and branching and large blooms with deep sculpting...one day I hope to see one in my garden that I grew, maybe this spring. The past two years was just good experience.
My list is here on the site, a lot of the plants are new to me and I show the dates when I received them, it takes about two years normally for a plant here to multiply enough for me to divide them, however I did receive enough fans originally of some of the new plants that they would be available for trade. Just check with me and I will check and see if I can divide the plant or have divisions already potted up.
