Hello Everyone,

Great pictures as always. We're past the peak blooming season, so some are starting to fade now. However, many of the earlier bloomers, from April and May, are getting ready to bloom again. I love the rebloomers. Haven't had a lot of time recently to take pics, but here's a few from mid-day yesterday. Jobe

Mount Pleasant Pride


Megan's Moonfire-repeat but love this clump picture


Just For Pat-Pretty pinkish purple


House Of Orange-repeat but exceptional picture. Colors are so distinct in this flower


Charles Johnson-repeat but worth another look


Piano Man-fairly common daylily, but always an eyecatcher


Winning Ticket-another gorgeous double

So many beautiful flowers to see here everyday - thanks for showing!

@janwax - Thanks for the acorn!

I really love all of the photo's of beautiful daylilies! I might have to try growing some daylilies in containers. I am pretty much confined to containers. And I really love
seeing the pictures of the purple daylilies.

I have one of those coming, and I am so psyched to see more pictures of it!


First, flowers from today!
Pete Webb. I do so enjoy the vibrant color & blotches.

Yesterday's deer-browsing event was annoying, yes, but tolerable. So they sampled some buds, no big deal.

Well, today's browsing is downright UNACCEPTABLE. (For those who watch Adventure Time, please insert the Earl of Lemongrab's "UNACCEPTABLEEEEEEEEEE" scream here. If you want to hear the way I am screaming this word, feel free to Google a video of "lemongrab unacceptable".)

This is a cropped image taken yesterday to show how many Pink Stripes buds I had.


This morning I have zero buds left.
Zero.
(It's the top left tall scapes)

And Pink Stripes isn't a rebloomer! They robbed me of another week of my favorite daylily!

THIS IS WAR.

Tonight, I will be spritzing my daylily scapes, then dusting them with cayenne. THOSE DEER SHALL SUFFER BURNING MOUTH AS MY EYES WILL SUFFER A LACK OF PINK STRIPES. At least, I pretend they will unwittingly eat a super-spicy bud & freak right out. Probably too smart for it.

Also denuded: Elegant Explosion (which opened its first flower this week & had a lot of buds left!), all of Blue Beetle (new plant, still had a lot of buds), all of Midnight Raider, all Naughty Red, several of the NOID red....

Any wonderfully petty ways to fend off deer? I have literally never seen deer eat daylilies. I grew up with daylilies. There is PLENTY to eat right now (lots of rain).

Marika, there are so many more deer than there used to be! Not as many predators to keep the deer numbers down. My daylily garden is on my deck or behind a fence. Sorry you've lost so many buds. The cayenne pepper idea sounds good!

Well, it's been raining all day, but it was the best bloom day for me yet! This seems to my most prolific thus far (aside from Orange Smoothie which I bought as mature plants).
I wasn't crazy about the first bloom, but today it gave me 7 (one is hiding). I planted it last summer, 2 double fans from Oakes. It is now 7 fans, 11 scapes and 119 buds

Beautiful Yvonne!!

So...back on June 30, I posted this:

MrKGDickie said:Exactly one new cultivar bloomed today. I'd love to say it's Ida's Magic -- that's what I bought -- but it's clearly not.It's pretty enough, but it looks more like Yasmin. That's another strike against the Lily Auction seller I had problems with last year...the one I'll never buy from again.

I feel I must acknowledge that I was wrong. I was not sent the incorrect cultivar. It appears I lost 1 fan each of Chamonix and Ida's Magic, rather than both fans of Chamonix. This cultivar bloomed again today, and it's definitely Chamonix. I also know this because I potted those two cultivars together.

Now...the second fan in the pot may turn out to be Chamonix also. The foliage does look exactly the same. I won't know til next year, though, because it's not going to bloom this year. So...nutshell...I have a cultivar I thought I'd lost. I guess that's a good thing, since I really like watermarks.

Several firsts today:

FFE Arnold's Daughter (Korth-P & L, 2006)
FFO Catherine Woodbery (Childs-F, 1967) -- Mine always appears near-white, like several in the Plant Database.
FFE Mango Paradise (Foster-P, 2010) -- Quite the opposite of Catherine Woodbery, this one is a much deeper shade than the registration pics.
FFE Raspberry Candy (Stamile, 1992)
FFO Rocket City (Hardy, 1967)
FFE South Seas (Moldovan, 1993)
FFO White Frost (Gore, 1964)
I also had some pretty blooms on:

Caviar -- This pic captures how velvety it looks.
Cherokee Star -- Just. So. Red.
Highland Lord
Laura Harwood
Love Those Eyes
Pink Peppermint

Okay here it is, the first bloom ever of Irish Mayhem. I am really happy that it looks so good for a first.


Nothing else is new, but here are a few I took today I really like: Ada May Musick with two beautiful blooms.

Close to Ada May is Doctor McGregor's Garden which is doing wonderfully well for a brand new plant.

The other new plant in the same area is Quest For Grapeness, can't believe it has produced these three blooms so quickly.

And to make it a block is the last bloom of Crazy Miss Daisy. These four close together and blooming in the same general time is lovely to see.

Fantastic blooms everybody! It's great to see so many diverse and colored blooms!

Here are what blooming in my garden today.

Westbourne Mama Kirby's Grape Jelly



For Better or Worse. So beautiful! Every bloom has been as perfect as the next.


Faith Cymbalak


Irish Mayhem is a huge flower!


Bing Crosby is another awesome red flower. Rarely splotchy!

Very beautiful daylily, Karen, can we have the name?

Yes. I accidentally hit the Finished button before I finish the post.

Sorry to hear about your deer issues. They're beautiful animals, but they love daylily buds; a delicacy to them. When we first purchased our daylily nursery from Bob R. 3 years ago, and began moving the flowers to our property, we were very concerned with the deer threat. We live on 5 acres of pasture and forests, about 1/2 and 1/2 each. At any rate, we hesitated putting up an electric fence, etc., as many of our flowers aren't inside a fence, and that would have required something of an undertaking. Additionally, given our location, we wanted to build beds along our property adjacent to a public access road to provide exposure to folks driving by.

At any rate, we are no longer as concerned with the deer threat. We have 4 dogs. They live in our home with us, but spend a lot of time out on our property. When we first moved here, we saw deer regularly. Soon afterwards however, the deer disappeared. Last Fall, we noticed a deer skulking about the periphery of our property. The dogs also noticed and soon gave chase. Needless to say, we haven't had any issues with deer. My understanding is that deer avoid areas they perceive to be of high risk, and do not care for dogs at all.

Something to consider would be bringing a dog, or two, into your home, and allow them liberal access to your yard. That has worked for us and we have no issues with deer, even though we're in the middle of deer country.

Marika deer is no joke.
