I'd like to suggest Sunday Gloves for your white one. Mine is white, but almost always shows up as the same color that yours does when I take a picture of it.
Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Sunday Gloves')

As you'll see in the pictures, sometimes it looks white, but it also looks yellow, at least in the pictures.

If you are brave enough to go to the Lily Auction, you are much braver than I am! Whistling Hilarious!


Thank You! Hurray!
Sunday gloves was on my list of suspects for the white daylily!!! And yeah it is like totally white but I guess it shows up kind of yellow in the pictures sometimes.

This bloomed today.

I think this pic is far more representative of what mine look like. I took this last summer...


Thumb of 2016-06-23/NikkiHays/8af78b

Are daylily auctions something that are in every state or is it like only in a couple places in the country and people fly/drive there? Or is there just one auction nationwide?

Nikki, you got a great picture of Sunday Gloves, showing it in white, instead of yellow. I don't know why that usually happens when I try to take a picture of it. I've only gotten lucky a couple of times, showing it as white in the picture.

I second Becky's suggestion about checking the classifieds section here. I've bought some great daylilies here for amazing prices!

Cindy summed up the Lily Auction perfectly, with it being like eBay for daylilies. I've spent maybe a total of 5 minutes on the LA, and not all at once! It's just way too tempting for me!

I was thinking the peach ones had to be either that or Serena Sunburst. Today I was at the closest Lowe's to our house and the previous homeowners shopped here a LOT. Pretty much all the wood stains and cans of paint they left behind had stickers from this particular Lowe's.

I saw Serena Sunburst available there!!! I'm pretty sure that is what the peach one is!!!
Thumb of 2016-07-06/NikkiHays/cdb75b

There were lots of pots but no blooms. There was a spent bloom that looks just like the ones on my peach daylilies.



Thumb of 2016-07-06/NikkiHays/8d9fd0

Based on the fact that the people who built the home in 2009 and sold it to us in 2014 were not the type to go to a local nursery, all the plants in our yard are easily obtainable at Home Depot and Lowe's, those stores are where they shopped (as well as Sam's club), I think that's what this one is.

Now I just have to figure out what the white one is!!!

The reason I'm trying to ID them is because I want to know which are diploid and which are Tetraploid so I can cross them (plus curiosity) :P

Not to make it more difficult, but 'White Triangle' crossed my mind as a possibility, too. It doesn't seem to be as common as Joan Senior, Gentle Shepherd, and a few others, but I've seen it in other seller's gardens.

Does not stop getting into the back garden the previous homeowners made!!
My husband got a fence type of thing but she found a way through. I closed off her area of access with rocks for the time being and she got through.

So I went nuts with the rocks....you will laugh. Did this until a permanent solution is devised. Thumb of 2016-07-21/NikkiHays/236040

And she got through!!! Last night hubby found her in there trying to get out!!!!
Grumbling


Which is why the daylillies Daylilydreamer sent me are going in the front yard!!!!

She's beautiful but way too smart for her own good and like my step mom in law days bad case of dog ADHD. She loves eating new blooms and squashing fans and digging up after I divided. My husband and I crack jokes about how she does not pay rent here and does not need to be undoing the work that we do ... Lol

I am amazed she got into the garden after the rocks and fencing went up. I bet it is the smell of fresh dirt that has her going to that area. Did you use compost, too? She's got a nose on her and paws that like to dig! A daylily danger for sure! Whistling Hilarious! Hilarious! Hilarious!

Welcome! Nikki! I'm new to the daylily world, too, but all the enablers around here sure have me addicted! There's tons and tons of information and everyone helps with questions. If you want to see some beauties, take a look at the June and July bloom pages. They make me drool!

I've been away from this thread since the initial few posts.

Regarding the peach, I was going to add my vote for Serena Sunburst, but I hesitated because I didn't think it was in the retail nursery trade, whereas Spanish Glow could very well be. Since Serena Sunburst is available in your area, I'm almost certain that's what you have. I've grown it for 25 years, and never get tired of seeing it bloom. It's been a very good parent for me, imparting sunfastness, substance and reliable opening to its kids.

Bernice Marshall registered Serena Sunburst in 1982, but the only written record I can find is from its listing in the 1989 Benz catalog. John Benz both featured and introduced several Marshall varieties in his catalogs. I'm attaching a scan to this post. (Click on the image to open it fully.) Pay no attention to the 6" flower size in his catalog description. While under perfect conditions it's possible to see the first bloom on a scape approach that size, "6-inch flower" is a term used more often than not to denote what size category a flower belongs in. In 1989, and even today, a 6 inch flower is usually closer to 5 inches in the garden. For reference, Bernice Marshall registered Serena Sunburst as a 4.37" flower.

Regarding photography, there are a lot of subtleties which serve to distinguish one daylily from many others of similar color. General form is vital, however smoothness of petal texture and style of ruffling are two important ones, but the picture has to be pretty good to help in that regard. Morning is usually the best time to get a picture, unless the flower is one which has trouble opening early. Photos taken under mid-day sun can suffer from glare, excessive contrast and incorrect color due to the exposure meter keying off the bright background. In this case, light shading works wonders. My favorite is an 18-24 inch hoop with white "frosted" plastic (shopping bags) or gray window screen stretched over it. It's just enough to take the edge off of the sun. Some flowers will recover from sun damage and desiccation in the evening, but more often than not, color and many distinguishing details are lost by then.

There are many possibilities for your unknown white, I can only say that it doesn't look at all like Joan Senior.

And about the dog, the only way to keep it out of your beds is an impenetrable barrier. Here's the way to look at many of the common solutions to discouraging pests. Imagine something that you wanted very badly. Would the folk-remedy you're considering keep you out? I used to have a dog which was not only fascinated with daylily scapes and fluttering hybridizing tags, but apparently suffered from separation anxiety and something resembling OCD. A 4-foot high hog wire enclosure was the only thing that worked.
