Funny about the orange shag carpet. Our first rental house in 80 had that lol. Does anyone grow INCA PRINCE? I saw this at a garden years ago and always admired it but have yet to add it. If you have extra LMK. The database picture doesn't show how vivid the orange really
is.

I have three of Fred's that I want to post, although he already posted wonderful pictures of two of them.

LILLIAN'S DRAGON MAGIC - This is an amazing little one because I never know whether the next flower will be a single or double -- great fun!


LILLIAN'S MANDARIN MARMALADE


LILLIAN'S STUFF AND SUCH - This little one is the pollen parent of many of my little seedlings -- can't wait to see the offspring!


APACHE SUNRISE


WYOMING WILDFIRE


TURN UP THE VOLUME


OVER HEATED


SPICED CUSTARD


COVENTRY RUFFLES


HEAVENLY FIRE AND ICE - Early summer and fall blooms


SPACECOAST TINY PERFECTION - Always tiny and perfect!


FLAMES OF BEAUTY - Another little one by Liz Salter

Nice pics but on my monitor they are not very orange. I have Sp TINY PERFECTION and I think of it as more of a yellow.

Rather than try to dig out all the images again, below is a link to a blog I did earlier this year about many of my favorite oranges:

http://juliecovingtonat.blogsp...

Hope you'll take a minute to look, as some of them haven't been mentioned here!

Julie, I ALWAYS take a look when you direct us that way. You have an artist's eye.

Those are absolutely gorgeous, Julie -- and such excellent photography!

Here's another of the hot oranges that I like. A Maryott introduction that was colorfast/sunfast called Texas Heatwave. Maryott warns about a rust problem, so stay away from it if you are battling the disease. It was an orange measly mess in my garden the one year I got rust, so I pitched it. Still Texas Heatwave is a beauty if rust isn't a problem for you



Some of the oranges mentioned I've tried and discarded because they weren't colorfast or sunfast. That's important to me. Citrix is on the edge for instance as it seems to melt by mid afternoon, although the color stayed pretty stable. Will give it one more year to straighten out. House of Orange, while right up my alley color wise, faded by mid afternoon, so we parted company.

An orange toned Double that is a keeper is Cluster Muster. The color sometimes changes to more of a butterscotchy orange by mid afternoon, but it's still attractive......Maryl

Juli, those are gorgeous! I just love Alabama Jubilee:)

Maryl, Texas Heatwave is very nice!

Ed, Princess of Alexandria has some nice teeth

Such gorgeous oranges! Love love love them!

Love your blog spot! I now need to add CLUSTER MUSTER and SCREAMICLE lol.

Nice ones, Mike. I like Indian Ripple and Citrix!

Indian Ripple is a late beauty here. I will keep it no matter how old it gets. A great performer.

okay now you've done it--Mom's gotta have one
She especially wants a fragrant vibrant orange --any recommendations?

Here are a handful of bright oranges listed as fragrant:

Chesapeake Crablegs
Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Chesapeake Crablegs')

Etched In Orange
Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Etched in Orange')

Heavens to Betsy
Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Heavens to Betsy')

Krakatoa Lava
Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Krakatoa Lava')

Tigger
Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Tigger')

Thank you!
She loves the Krakatoa Lava...but we think it is too large for where she want to put it ...and I can't seem to find one anyway.

Those of you who have Citrix--any comment on the fragrance??

(I just ordered two--one for mom and one for me )

After seeing so many good pictures of Indian Ripple over the years I tried it for the first time last year. The blooms were smaller then I expected (hadn't read the stats on it before I bought it) at around 4 inches or so. Still it certainly is pretty, and will stay in my garden. BTW, since I grow roses, I really don't even think about fragrance in daylilies, so have never bothered to sniff IR. Sorry, no help with that information......Maryl



Spirit Fox, an award winner from Canada, had a bright orange color. Not listed as a rebloomer. I don't know if that means just in the north or all over the country. I will see what it does next year as its first year here saw no rebloom.......Maryl

Both of those are very beautiful, Maryl! Spirit Fox is very vivid
