The most expensive plants I have ordered (won't be delivered until Sept.-Oct.) are four plants for $25.00 each,

Here's another of my intros. VVOL is one of the parents.


Robin's Orange Eyelashes (named after our daughter)

It's listed at 41", 21-25 buds, and 3-way branching. However, this year it's at 51", 30+ buds, and 7-way branching. I'll wait to see what it does next year. If this year's stats hold, I'll have to think about making a correction in the listing.

Awesome on stats, and pretty blooms, Larry!

I think in terms of daylilies the average is $20 to $25. You can find bargains for less and we all know you can spend alot more.
Larry-- I think after all your successes, you will enjoy those four!
Daniel--I am with you $20 has been our gardens cap, but inflation may get my garden!
Many blessings for your gardening success and opportunities!

Y'all are rocking it out with new purchases and bloom photos! AND intros (LarryR)!

LarryR - Beautiful! I can see the parent resemblance!

Daniel - I hear ya on $20 limit. I don't think I have any daylilies that were even that expensive. I think $15-18 was my limit of any cultivar purchase and I closed my eyes when I purchased that one and dreamed of hitting the lotto. Oh! To have a blank, signed check from someone like Bill Gates or a no-limit credit card.

Sharon I have to admit I did break down and buy Waves of Joy for 24.95

THAT is actually a very good price for Waves of Joy! Congrats on the great deal! My you get lots of viable crosses from it!

Oooh, Ginny, do share!

LarryR has wonderful gardens and lots of history of the Amana area and his plants and trees-fun fun time! Can't wait to "plan" where to put my new daylilies! Hope to have them in the ground tonight or tomorrow. And then to see them bloom next year and probably go back for more!!!

Very nice intro Larry!!!!


Was gone for a week and took some pics of daylilies at the cottage. Most are older cultivars.

BUTTERPAT



LITTLE WART



LUXURY LACE



CRAGMOOR SWEETHEART



CARTWHEELS



AMERICAN INDIAN



MATEUS



This is a wild lily (not hemerocallis though) native to Michigan



CORRYTON PINK



And blooming back home:

OCTARINE



BIG KISS



TECHNY PEACH LACE



MAPPING CAROLINA



FORGOT THESE TWO RED NOID'S AT MY COTTAGE. HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY ARE. BOTH ARE QUITE TALL.

Daniel-- Sometimes you have to do what you have to do! In high school my oldest wanted shoes that 3x more than any other shoe I had purchased. My response use your birthday money. After one year of full time teenage wear they were still in good shape. Made the shoes a bargain. Usually you never know the worth of something till you actually use it. Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. May you blessed to win!

Larry R-- Nice daylily! Great stats! Very good job!

Cindy--I love it! It is like you have back- up daylilies! Oldies but goodies! They look great and the pictures are good!

Many blessings for your continued successes and a wonderful week!

Thanks Sharon Yes, usually when they are done blooming here in lower Michigan, I can look forward to some bloom in northern Michigan, except this year the daylilies in northern Michigan must have started blooming earlier and most of the bloom is already finished.

Cindy, I'm so happy to see a photo of Mateus that actually shows its vibrant color. There are some very nice Gilbert Wild daylilies, oldies but goodies. Here's another of his, Gentle Ed:

Oh that is a very nice one. I have not heard of that one before. When I first got into daylilies many years ago Oakes and Wild's were the two places I ordered from. When I discovered the Lily Auction, that sure did change my ordering habits.

ediblelandscapingsc said:What's your idea of an expensive plant? I'm so poor I'd consider any daylily over $20 as an expensive plant

Glad to hear we're on the same page!

I had three blooms today...two are repeats.


Imperial Majesty FFO



Mike Longo



The Dark Side

Repeats are good, Pat, since all your plants are fantabulous!

Thanks Barb... I have only one or two scapes left. Hopefully I will get a few reblooms. Imperial Majesty had three buds, but the two smaller ones aborted. Mike Longo got a slow start but it looks good. The Dark Side is reblooming! I along with my plants are suffering in the heat and humidity of zone 8....it's down right steamy here.

Pat-- any blooms you can get at the end of July in zone8 are fantastic.
I have blooms aborting, too. At least they tried. The ones you had today look good! Many blessings for a wonderful and safe weekend!
