Received my last order for the spring, and it got me up to my 200 named cultivars goal. So now I can concentrate on the plants I have and just gradually work out the duds and fill in with better plants. I received my order from Miss Becky's Daylilies, I have been looking for some time trying to find 'Spanish Sketch' and she actually had it, so the others just sort of tagged along.

Entire order from Miss Becky's Daylilies:
Thumb of 2017-04-26/Seedfork/e5cc66


1.'Accent On Style':
Thumb of 2017-04-26/Seedfork/fa7892


2. 'Brer Rabbits Baby':
Thumb of 2017-04-26/Seedfork/ac1b7b


3. 'Celtic Veins' : Miss Becky actually sent these fans and a refund because she said they were smaller than they should be, that was not necessary because they look like by next year they will be fine, but it was appreciated.
Thumb of 2017-04-26/Seedfork/ca79b9


4. 'Finally Letting Go':
Thumb of 2017-04-26/Seedfork/ec39fc


5. 'Radiation Biohazard':
Thumb of 2017-04-26/Seedfork/0e914d


6. 'Spanish Sketch': This is the main reason for this order, rust rated at 1.0 plus it has a beautiful large bloom to boot. Really hoping this one will do well in the garden.
Thumb of 2017-04-26/Seedfork/1de032


7. 'Winged Migration':
Thumb of 2017-04-26/Seedfork/16ee2c


8. 'Heavenly Island Magic': A bonus plant.
Thumb of 2017-04-26/Seedfork/843586


9.'Wings On High': Another bonus plant, and this one was actually on my Want List.

Larry, I like Celtic Veins- haven't seen that one before. All the new DL's are lovely, but CV caught my eye...(RB and SS too...)

I also received great looking plants from Miss Becky's last year. Her prices are great but my issue is that several in my order have been mislabeled. Some labels were swapped around from my own order, and at least one that bloomed I had to identify by using her plant list. Since all ordered did not bloom last year, I'm still not sure which one(s) from my order were possibly left out. The one that was erroneously received was more expensive than most of the ones I ordered from her, and it was beautiful, so all is good 😊.

On a different note, I took a chance on a new seller from the Lily Auction, and I couldn't be more pleased with the plants I received. Username is Lilyobsession, who is Matt Meadows. He was driving down to FL with Jamie Gossard to Spacecoast Daylilies to do some garden stuff there (dig and ship orders growing there), and he offered to meet me in Columbia when they came through. He called a few times to touch base about my order and to schedule the plant pick up, and called me several hours out this morning to let me know a more firm time since they were enroute from Ohio. He also notified me ahead of time that one of my DF orders was actually only a single fan, so he was refunding part of the price I paid. Well that single fan is huge and already dividing! I accidentally clicked Buy It Now and bought the same plant twice...he also refunded that due to my stupidity. I had already paid for shipping as I purchased, so he refunded that as well!
Plants received were all huge and more fans than advertised, and since he was bringing them potted up out of greenhouse space he shares with Jamie, they are already sending up scapes! I would highly recommend buying from him if he has anything on your want list. He sells mostly newer stuff, but good prices.

He let me pick out my bonuses, which he is getting from Spacecoast, so he said he'd ship those to me while they were shipping others this week. What an incredibly generous guy!

After two horrible experiences on the LA last year, this year's sellers have renewed my confidence with purchasing there.

On a side note, he didn't just hand off the plants and leave...my husband and I met them at Wendy's and enjoyed talking daylilies and sharing photos for a bit before they had to get back on the road. It was a pleasure to see pictures of seedlings and future intros for both Matt and Jamie. I was in daylily awe today! Green Grin!

Here's a pic of my plants:

Larry, that is a great looking order and thanks for assembling your post the way you do.

WOW, what a great looking group of fans, buy, and experience all around. Thanks for sharing Regina!

Now to go to the LA. Oh dear, I'd better hurry Ginny's probably already there. Rolling on the floor laughing

Received my package from Throughbred Daylilies from when they were selling on the LA earlier this spring. The daylilies are their own introductions they sent very nice healthy large fans like always. Their daylilies do very well here in my MN garden there are now sixteen of their intros in my garden.
If you want to be happy for a lifetime plant a garden!

I received my shipment from Pete and Rossen Harry last night. 3 days in shipping leaves DLs dry and shriveled but overnight in cold water perks them right up!

I'm really pleased with everything I've received so far. The Peanut Butter Frenzy and Justin George, from Gilbert Wild & Sons, are all in the ground and you can almost see them grow! My Valley of the Daylilies order of Venous Blood were all generous 3 fans, also already planted. Oakes sent multi fan (clumps, really) of the Dark Star, already in the ground. Today I received my Woodhenge order! The Margo Reed Indeed are all 3 fans. That whopper on the left is my gift plant! Five fans of Snowboarding! Happy dance here! Still awaiting Smokey's, Solaris, O'Bannon Springs and Northern Lights.

Thought I'd share some pictures of the ones I got from Gilbert Wild. They were so very dry and dormant when I got them, if I hadn't believed in the toughness of Daylilies, I would have been disappointed. However, they responded to soaking, I received nothing less than three fan divisions, and I'll be shopping there again! These are some of the 16 Peanut Butter Frenzy and 8 Justin George I received. Not a dud in the bunch.

@beenthere Tina, looking good. Other than getting a couple wrong id plants from "Wild" they did ok for me. All are now huge clumps now.

Yeah, I've heard complaints of that with them. I ordered only one variety each order, hoping that would reduce confusion. One thing is for certain, if the Justin George aren't, they are all the "same" something else. Lol!

Anyone new to ordering from Northern Lights, like me. This is one of my "single" fans of Accentuate the Green, received today. I almost had a heart attack!
