SEDUCTOR is a good bloomer
Thought this was CRIMSON ICON maybe it's HEART'S GLEE
It is similar in colour to CHARDONNAY which didn't quite manage a double today nor yday when it did FFOS. I love this one

MILDRED MITCHELL is doing well and not much rust!!!
MACHO MACHO MAN was very polychrome light peach and lemon
TROPICAL HEATWAVE still amazes me
Late in the day I saw a rebloom on MARCIA FAY. I must water it

Seductor is a good name! I love it

King Kahuna x 42nd Street has some nice stripes!

Yes, TROPICAL HEATWAVE is a great plant Bron. Thank you for the one you sent me. I have set a few pods because I am an orange fanatic.

Some blooms.

CRIKEY!X UNK 2012 104
This bloom I like. However, anything out of Alexander's CRIKEY (unregistered) is usually a rust magnet. This seedling is nocturnal but it hasn't performed well with branching or number of blooms. The grim reaper looms over it, alas.


This is a later Crickey seedling. It canoes and is nocturnal. CRIKEY!X UNK 2013 133




MUMMERS PARADE hasn't performed well this year. Usually it sings. I suspect tree growth nearby, and its shade, it has not liked.

MOROCCAN SUMMER


Here, BELA LUGUSI dies right back in summer and then, with spring, it shoots like mad into a riot of blooms.


BILINGA throwing up polys as it wishes.

It was 30 deg here b4 9am. Fortunately it has dropped a bit since then. But the wind has gusts of 50km/hr. Not what we need.
DUCHESS OF WINDSOR a lot deeper colour today. The second pic shows some reddishness at the end of the petals.


MACHO MACHO MAN is blooming well

MARCIA FAY There would be more blooms on everything if we had had more rain
In part shade after early morning these dark ones
MIDNIGHT MAGIC
BLACK BRIAR BAY
Tall Red NOID planted partway down a slope. I stand above the plant to take pics
There were some more open but camera ran out of battery then the wind was so bad nothing kept still.

Hello Everyone,
I was invited to add photos of my daylilies here. I usually hang out in the iris forums and I don't wish to get too involved in the daylily forums as I have a lot to do in the garden at the moment. I only have 3 daylilies. They are:


Garnet Prism


June Reid Memorial


Queensland Red

Hi, Robin! Glad you are here, too.

to daylilies Robin. Gorgeous blooms all. Made my Thanksgiving Day that much better

to the Daylily Forum, Robin!!! Lovely blooms you shared with us! I love that Garnet Prism.

Thankyou Ginny and Becky. Nice to meet you!
Love your avatar Debra.

Wonderful to have you Robin. When I saw the unusual daylilies you had I was convinced you were a collector!

Welcome Robin : ) Some lovely DL's!
Great blooms and if you spend any great amount of time here, you might end up with more than three daylilies. There are too many beauties to refuse...

I like the midribs on the first Crikey sdlg. Makes the colours look good. Is it a ruster? Most (but not all) of my plants look better rust-wise than I have ever seen (except for when I first bought rust free plants). Some rain might change that.

I like the 2nd sdlg. Have u seen it bloom much?

Best looking IDA'S MAGIC I have seen pics of. MUMMER'S PARADE, ROSE HELENA and BILINGA are lovely.
Is BELA sunfast? It looks great in your pic.

FFOS on what I believe is ULTIMATE PERFECTION. not a big flower but excellent substance

I wrote this last night but internet vanishes

So much pretty. I think Lake Norman Sunset and Missouri Memories are my favourites. I really like the orange NOID x Thin Man seedlings too. Wish I could see all flowers in person! Robin.

Gleni said:Ooooooooooooooooo Brer Rabbit's Baby x Rose F. Kennedy,.

She might have sisters.

Some recent pics:


The second bloom on Brer Rabbit's Baby x Rose F. Kennedy taking a more relaxed approach to the day than the first!


A couple of seedlings from Don't Mess With Me x Olaf The Conqueror.


Echoes From The Past x Betty Smith.


Some lost label seedlings.


Another lost label....


Louder Than Thunder x Chasing Clouds.

Thankyou for your welcome Diana and Della.
I am struggling to find space for my iris purchases this year and that should be enough incentive to not build on my small daylily collection.

I had no idea that my daylilies are unusual - that is beginner's luck. "Queensland Red" was a freebie from Woodeden daylilies with a kniphofia order and when it bloomed in autumn when bugger all else was in flower, I decided to buy another one. I bought "Garnet Prism" on ebay and received "June Reid Memorial" as a freebie.

Lots of nice daylilies everyone.

Bron, rust loves both the Crikey seedlings. These are some more photos of them from today. Damn small caterpillars got into the bud and ate into the stamens of the second bloom. I have had quite a few buds so invaded this year that I will have to look into it and do something about it. Excuse the tongue and foot.



I have another interesting custard-colored Crikey seedling that hasn't flowered yet. It might not this season because I had to shift it and it got crown rot but survived but went down to one fan.

Bela Lugosi is sunfast but our sun can make it look a bit of a wreck by lunch time.

Robin, wow, that you got June Reid Memorial as a freebee. It was one of my most expensive daylilies when I bought it.

Della, I do like Echoes From The Past x Betty Smith too!! Covet. These are the parents of the Orange Noid X Thin Man seedling. The noid is a tall, vigorous, flower machine and bud builder that I found growing in someone's garden as a straggler in their weeds.

The cross is 4 way branching and a tall, blooming machine as well. The cross was purposeful. I have two other siblings to it that should flower soon.

The daily moods of BILINGA




This is a boring cross. KING LAMONI x HEARTS AND LACE 2014234
King Lamoni is on the left and the cross is right. It was from year old seed I found in my crisper. I got a shock when the seed germinated.

I am loving all these blooms!

I am quite impressed with the seedlings, too! Some mighty fine looking babies!

Loving all the awesome blooms all

Loving the daylily show here!

Robin!

Hi Robin. I started writing this days ago. Internet drops out.
Hope u enjoy the daylily threads as much as I do. Wish I had had my education from the site b4 I bought any daylilies. Of course they perform differently in different climates and even micro climates in a single garden. And rust severity seems very variable. In the past my PICCADILLY PRINCESS plants got rust badly, but now they are more established they don't look too bad. Hope that you don't have, or get rust. The foliage on your plants and Della's is a joy to behold.

The sdlgs are fascinating. I love the way so many of the blooms on this page have stamens with colours the same as the edges, eyes or throat.
Yday I had FFOS on METAPHOR which looks totally different from previous years. The heat and wind took their toll

MAKING A SPLASH is big and beautiful. Not quite double yet. Needs rain. It died down completely in winter even tho it was not cold. A good way to beat rust. I have been letting the native grass grow for shade and to deter wallabies

This Weigelia Yellow NOID is a great bloomer

But this large yellow NOID is superbly fragrant

SEDUCTOR too is fragrant and more saturated and darker in colour than the pics appear

MARCIA FAY reblooming in spite of the dryness and heat
BYRON is doing nice doubles
