Well, if you decide you don't like it, I know where it can find a good forever home.

That was the FFO so I think I'll give it another chance...or 20.

Ooo, Ooo, Ooo! Stunning Lyle.

I would do the same.

Thanks Ann!

Good plan, Jon.

NOID. NO idea where it came from or how I got it. I seriously doubt it is from one of the seeds I bought off the LA. There were three different crosses, but not one with these colors or those teeth in the parentage. The bloom is smallish in proportion to the height. I don't think I like it--never been one for teeth and that yellow in the edge is off-putting to me. But like others here I will be patient and let it give me blooms two, three, and four before deciding to keep or rehome.

All three photos were taken at different times of day. We were mostly overcast with slight breaks for sun once in awhile.



Ruby Laser- Love love love the color!

I love them both!

Well, Ann, you may be GETTING one of them if it doesn't pique my interest. And I do have an extra fan of Ruby Laser, too, it has a bunch of them this year.

Neat, Michelle. I especially like those Prisms.

Me too about the Prisms but actually, every photo I came to was Ooo, Ooo, Ohhh, Ooo, Ohhh, Ooo.

I've been thumbs-upping everything! Sooooo many daylilies to covet ... ALL OF THEM!!! I love the patterned blooms and the large eye blooms as well as the contrasting edging on many blooms! Just gorgeous!!!!

As most know, I do not have any named daylilies. Mine are all seedlings. Most of my current blooms (which are early bloomers here in the month of May) have been mostly reds and oranges with a pink or yellow thrown in. I am also seeing a lot of curling petals. Is that caused from the heat or is that a particular characteristic of any given hybrid? No patterned daylilies this year. (Next year, hopefully!)





This is one of my favorite seedlings. I have a name for it already. Last year the scape was really short and few buds. This year the scape is much taller (25-27") but still a low bud count. Next year will be it's third year of blooming and I am hoping the bud count increases. The colors on this start at yellow throat, then the color graduates out to pink and then orange. It is so pretty. Sunset colors. Photo doesn't do it justice at all.


This is a first year bloomer. 19 buds on one 26" scape. Blooms are large (7 1/2 - 8") Catches my eye from a distance! Nothing fancy, yet quite pretty!


Unusual looking bloomer in my garden. Ruffles, freckles, and an odd color combo. Almost gaudy. LOL!


For some reason, I love the peach colors. This is a larger bloom (7"). Nice tall scape, too!


I love the various Roses in Snow children I've gotten. But the one downfall, it seems to be rust prone. I love, love the bloom color of red with creme edging. One of my favorites from Sandy!

One child:


Another child with reduced edging:


And a third child with a wide edging:


Refreshing deep pink bloom:


A nice bright, true red blooming daylily:



Last two are dark reds. They almost look black when the sun is behind the clouds. This is the darkest red I've ever seen of any plant blooms:



Another dark red daylily plant with 3 blooms:

A banner day for the NOIDS! Well, the named ones are very pretty too (oh and check out heavenly black bird - stunning in form as well as background breeding - someone's doing a lot of impressive research). Becky your descriptions are a treat! And, since one of RIS's parents tested very well for resistance at the University of Arkansas (http://daylilies.uaex.edu/), those grandkids you have may very well end up doing just fine, too.

Becky - great seedlings. You are on fire. I love your favourite seedling too.

Great images everyone!!! Going back a few posts, Indigo Ruffles caught my eye. Purples with white edges and watermarks..one of my favorite color combos. A lot of pretty white edges in the posts, Roses In Snow sdlgs and Tradition With A Twist... Beautiful images of How Beautiful Heaven Must Be and Dr. Celia Stump, too. As I'm weeding along in the beds I keep looking for scapes, nothing yet. Maybe in a few more weeks.....

My thoughts exactly!

Same favorites for me too. Tradition With A Twist really stands out. I wonder how much that baby costs? I have to hold my horses though until I can get some more beds made. Sigh.

Thanks for the kind compliments. I know none of mine are that noteworthy, but I love seeing colors other than the typical yellow blooms that are the only daylilies sold around here. To me, these colorful Plain Janes are a treat!!!

Fred - Lovely ... each and every one of them!

I didn't think I would have any patterned daylily blooms this year, but today had a first bloom that is definitely patterned. I think one of it's parents is Trahlyta for this daylily. (I don't know for sure the parents of ANY of this year's blooms at all, can only guess....) Scape is short. Next year I am hoping it is much taller. I often see short scapes during the first bloom year and then the following years the scapes are much taller. This first bloom is 7 - 7 1/2" and the scape is only 16" tall. Only 8 buds, but that is better than some of my other first year blooming daylilies with 3-6 buds. I really like it. Nice to have a patterned daylily for the first time! I can see why all the fuss about patterns. Definitely eye-catching!



Another seedling of unknown origin. Large bright red blooms with yellow throats. I have a thing for red blooms and this one makes me smile every time it blooms!:
