Three nice ones Greg.

just going to look these up!

Thanks Mike !


Valerie - Those daylilies are probably not known or distrubuted outside of NC.

Me too! I THINK the extra scape height was from it being on the bottom of a clearance rack for a while and stretching to get some sun. When I say it was crowded in its pot, I mean CROWDED. As in, almost zero soil and full of roots. I ended up breaking it in thirds to re-pot it...and that required a root saw when my garden knife proved too gentle.

It's one I am curious about. I've read much on here about tissue culturing, and how the scapes are often much taller, but I can't imagine someone TCing Precious de Oro. I mean, it's not new and it's not very remarkable from what I can tell. That said, it is Dutch and I've read that some growers in the Netherlands do TC quite a bit.

If I give it the clay corner treatment, it will be dry (on an incline, under a dogwood, bordered by a driveway and a sidewalk). Can it take drought-like conditions?

All beautiful, Greg! Nicely done. Patti Thorp, though...wow! She's definitely on my list.

Spent part of my lunch hour looking at this thread. Lotsa beauties! Picket Fences, Phenomenal Phoenix, Please Say Yes, Primal Scream, and of course, Persian Ruby is a beaut!

Char, I like the way Pawprints on My Heart has space between the petals. I want to say the word "whimsical" when I see blooms like that.

Jill, I have Purple Tarantula, but will have to check it out this year for those white midribs. I just love this one!

Tim, that is a gorgeous picture of Phill Warbasse:)

Shirlee, your pictures of Pirate's Prism and Purple Swordfish are awesome looking:)


I guess I didn't participate in some of these threads years ago. I need to get some 'P's on here!

Thanks Ken! Patti Thorp is one of my favorites!

My garden is quite dry because of my sandy soil, and Precious de Oro has done well, with no extra pampering. I do water my daylilies during bad droughts, though.

It could just be reaching for the light. I would wait and see how it responds to being planted in the ground and getting good light.

Valerie - Those daylilies are probably not known or distrubuted outside of NC.

Well, that would explain why I hadn't heard of them You certainly have some beauties, Greg!

gregnc said:Thanks Ken! Patti Thorp is one of my favorites!

You mentioned them being available within NC, so I checked out your site. Such beauties!

Beautiful!

A Plethera of P's here.

Panama Hattie - a hot peach that is hard to photograph sometimes.


Paper Butterfly - this one polyed several times a couple of years ago.


Pardon Me


Parfait - if I had to choose absolutely one favorite, this would be it.


Patchwork Puzzle - a cute bloom


Peach Magnolia - you are all probably tired of hearing me say that doubles are not my favorite, but I just love the color of this one!


Perfect Irony - haven't had this one long enough to know how it performs.


Persian Market - lovely pink on a nice scape


Petticoat Frills


Pink Peppermint - I keep this double because it blooms later than most daylilies in my garden.


Pizza Crust - the little tree frog showed up in many of my pictures of Pizza Crust in 2018. Guess it liked the name.


Planet Claire - I placed a bloom of South Seas (5.5" bloom) on top of Planet Claire (7" bloom) last year to show the size difference.


Pretty Late - I only had one picture of this one. Hoping it will do more this year and bloom later.


Primal Scream - this one has struggled to multiply for me. I divided it the first year I had it (bad!), but that was 10 years ago.


Purle Corn Dancer - this squirrely thing has petals and sepals all over the place!


WHOOPS! Hit 'finished' before I actually was:)

Purple Pinwheel


Purple Starfish


And finishing off with a big favorite in my P list, Purple Tarantula

Gorgeous, awesome flowers, Vickie.

Thanks, Shirlee and Will!

Mike, Valerie, & Ken...thanks for the nice comments!

For me, one of the many benefits of this forum is seeing photos of all the wonderful daylilies, some I've had in my own garden, some I remember from other gardens (and I'm seeing new beauties too!). Seeing daylilies from the past brings up plenty of memories - where I first saw the daylily, whose garden it was in...sometimes even seeing it in the hybridizer's garden. And I'm remembering other things too; how these daylilies performed, what traits make/made them special, whether they caused a "sensation" when first introduced, and even the friendships I had with others who were enthusiastic about the same daylilies as I. And being a hybridizer, I especially remember those I've used as parents and why.

Thanks to all for the wonderful photos and information!

I added a "P" from the LA, and it's a bi-color, no less!

Ponca Brave - Harder, 1991

Love bicolors!
