okay ... I'll go out on this limb Whistling before I even look at colors or patterns these days, I look at foliage type. I've just had the most fun with evergreens, and would love to see a collective thread with pics of people's favorites (of all colors and styles)! I know it may be a little oddball to group a "favorites" thread this way, but I just gotta give it a shot!

My favorites evergreen (so far) is Bobbie Gerold - but I'm hoping some wonderful new additions from last fall will bloom and blow me even further away next summer!

OK, I'll take a whack at this -- especially since Evergreens are my fav's.

Favorite Evergreen Toothies:

SPINEFELD - What a wonderful toothy daylily because even the earliest blooms in April were really toothy, which I cannot say about any other toothy daylily that I know of. It usually takes hot weather and rebloom to get lots of teeth on the others.

Oh you sweetie!! Thumbs up Thanks for such a wonderful parade of beauties ... it's wonderful to see cultivars that otherwise would be lost to our eyes in the huge mix of evergreens out there and in the database. My jaw is still dropped on Pirate's Prism ... fireworks, water fountain, paw scratches ... such a great pattern! Lovey dubby Will be perusing this gallery for a long while ... Group hug

Don't know how many, if any, evergreens I have. Will maybe look at the list tomorrow. In the meantime, I will ogle these. Lovey dubby
It’s okay to not know all the answers.

The problem is that when you are young your life it is ruined by your parents. When you are older it is ruined by your children.
