I will write my report soon, and you can have nice potted daylilies indoors during the winter also.

Gerry any ideas on how to keep all my kitties from having salad all winter? Oh how I wish I could have gorgeous blooms like yours all winter. Unfortunately I think the kitties would love to as well.

Great!!! Looking forward to reading your report Gerry.

There's a few each year that I think of keeping in the house
to protect them during the winter. Just been afraid to try
with new plants in particular.

OOooooooo, Gerry!!!! Like it!

Kim,

I have two cats and the female does like to eat daylily leaves. I place the pots out of her reach. She is too heavy to jump any where. Once in a while, I put a leaf where she can eat it.

The other cat, a very large black male with no balls, has no interest.

I have all kinds of other plants, but the daylily is the only one that the female wants to eat.

Yes, I have the problem that one of my ragdolls now wants to eat daylilies and not grass. I am petrified of the warning that daylilies are toxic to felines. However, mine has not died yet. Maurice's cats haven't died either. But I have seen on the ATP threads somewhere that someone reckons it does kill and that they lost a cat to kidney failure.

If my cat dies from eating daylily leaves, I'll write a report on that also.

Thanks everyone..... those seedlings were 1st year blooms last summer. As with many spuf forms, they will develop more this year, or so I hope, LOL! Here's another out of Olallie Red. The photo just doesn't do the color saturation & the sheen of the bloom justice. The pollen parent is Twilight Tarantula. The bud count is so-so on this one, but I kept it to work with.

This is another seedling of mine, RAV 12-016, & it's a future intro. This one is from seeds won from my friend "gramps" (Ed Burton) on the LA site. The cross is Persian Ruby X Robb Cobb. The BC on this thing was in the 40's. Totally magnificent plant habit, with a big bold bloom.

Very nice branching on that RAV 12-016, Anna! Is it as tall as it appears?

That is a great sheen on the Olallie seedling.

Wow Anna your RAV 12-016 is a beauty! I have Persian Ruby it is outstanding here in my garden love the dark red blooms.

Anna, RAV-12-016 is a beauty. Nice bud count and branching as well.

I am very late to this thread but have enjoyed seeing everyone red beauties….and, have been adding some to my ever expanding wish list. Below are a few of my reds.

My truest red red is Barbara Mandrell, and I love it. Bloomed for almost 7 weeks straight.

Sdlg. Linda Sierra X Lavender Reflections - (this sdlg. actually begins blooming as bright purple, and as the days get hotter, changes to bright red. Quite remarkable.)

Luscious reds!

Be interested in seeing more photos of that seedling as you get them, Alex.

Love that Frankly Scarlett.

Frankly Scarlett is my favorite of that bunch. Nice reds, Alex!
