Each of these are beautiful in their own right, but the one that steals my heart is the red daylilies with the pink daisies Thumbs up

I have always been afraid to cut a scape that has other buds ready to open, but now I just may give it a try. Thanks!

I'm so drawn to them, too! Would love to see a photo in the forum and in the database (can tag as a multi-plant photo if more than one cultivar is used) if you get the chance to try it! I'm going to try it for the first time this summer, myself. Glen really opened up a new avenue to explore with daylilies by doing this! Group hug

Glen..Thanks so much for this display of cut day lilies. I have copied and pasted your article, and will definitely give it a try this summer. I have often thought about this, but never acted on cutting my day lilies for fear that would die within 24 hrs. So, this is very useful info. Thumbs up I tip my hat to you.

Thank you all. Thank You! Thank You! But it was Tina's direction.
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.

Nuh uh, it was just my begging a favor, and your kindness in exploring something that you alone could do to enliven all of our lives by seeing if indoor arrangements would merit cutting some scapes. I'm already designating which of my own cultivars won't be used for crosses this summer so I can cut and enjoy them indoors! Yay! Hurray!
