'Carlotta': Thirteen blooms today.

Every one has such gorgeous clumps! So nice to see the plants as a whole. Mine are all in a mixed plant cottage type garden setting.
Limited daylily space, so good " clumpers" are very important.
I have just a few clumps to share. The first three are in large 18inch pots and the second two are in the ground.

Chesapeake Crablegs


Happy Enchantment


Noid


Ra Hansen

May happiness surround you!

I'm so anxious for mine to open up - just hurry up

I love seeing clump shots. This is Saratoga Springtime. I keep it around because it is such an early bloomer. End of May here in zone 5 and has had at least 20 blooms every day this month.

Egyptian Queen Is just starting but clumped up fast for me.

Great clumps Susan

Susan, on your clumps, very nice.

Beautiful Edgings: I posted this on June flowers, but it is the clump. Interesting how the flowers are growing in a circle.

All day light from the sun? I find even with 6-7 hours of sun, they will still face or lean toward the side with the most hours of sunlight.

I have some that seem to face in only one direction toward the sun, but others like my 'Beautiful Edgings' seem to be able to face in all directions.

Taking clump pictures is putting my photo taking skills to the test. It is really hard to get decent photos of clumps!

Parade of Peacocks


Grey Witch, not quite in bloom yet, but look at all those buds!


Mad Max


Milky Way Eyes (bred by our own @hemlady --gorgeous with great scapes and bud count. Doing fabulous here in SC!)


Phenomenal Phoenix (also one of Cindy's & doing well here in the south)


Rambunctious Rosie (still a little shorter than registered, hope year 3 will be a charm)


Glamoureyez, back blooming again after taking a year off)


A NOID yellow that I've had for about 20 years. I have divided and given away an incredible amount of this daylily and it is always raved about


My stippled seedling


Tuscawilla Tigress


Rose F. Kennedy (sorry, first photo's in full sun. The scapes in the back were a little weird and fasciated due to rapid division of fans this spring. It went from 3 fans last year that didn't bloom to about 18-20 fans this year--some really small but others are average size.)



Heavenly Island Magic


From front to back: Pick of the Litter, Cherokee Star, & Rocket City


By the koi pond are two clumps. On the left is Heavenly United We Stand and the orange is a NOID from my mother that I think she got at the dollar store. It grows like a weed and may have to be removed. It is not Kwanso or Flore Pleno


My favorite clump--my seedling bed!

Great clumps Love the seedling clump

Great looking clumps Regina. Phenomenal Phoenix is one I keep thinking I need, but boy am I out of space. I've posted Saratoga Springtime on another thread but want to add it here too. 45 blooms 2 days ago, 40 yesterday and this many today
This is one of many clumps that really need divided.

That's beautiful, Susan!

I received Phenomenal Phoenix from Cindy (hemlady) last year and it settled in great this year. It is really tall with huge blooms that are well spaced. I can probably share some fans with you later this summer if you'd like to have some.

Beautiful, healthy looking clumps, Susan and Regina. I love them all, especially the bold colors.

Wow! Susan, that is a ton of daylilies! Absolutely gorgeous

I don't have clump shots yet, but it won't be long now

62 blooms deadheaded from Saratoga Springtime this evening. I'm not too sure Gracie is impressed.

This is the largest clay pot I have. Been around about 40 years now. There were three, but only this one survives with only some dings :). It's a hernia inducing size pot when filled with planting medium. I have it sitting in a salvaged frame that once held a big Japanese clay cooker. I usually try to con someone into helping me move it if they show up at the right time and I'm wanting to relocate it very far. If they don't it can take a while. The frame makes it a lot easier to move. But it elevates the container about 3-4", so the bottom isn't sitting directly on the ground. I don't think the bucket is working to well for scale here. I set it in front and I think it needed to be on the side. The clump growing is 'Flamingo Flambeau' and this is typical for it both last year and this year. Very showy.



'Chesapeake Crablegs' without the bucket for scale. These cattle tubs are big and heavy, but they slide easily. I'm really happy with this clump since this is the first year the plant has done what it's supposed to do.



'Biloxi Memories' is getting ready to put on a show if nothing happens :). I decided to crop out half the bucket. It works as well, I think.


The thumbnails really don't work for my clump photos, do they?

Have you ever tried using a dolly of some sort to move the pots around. I strained my back this week so I am sympathetic toward any heavy lifting efforts! You are getting some really nice clumps!

Wow Donald, those are some huge clumps growing in pots! 'Flamingo Flambeau' is fantastic.

I have a garden wagon. It's probably in the background of some of my photos . I use a trailer ramp and the wagon to move the big tree pots. I can walk them up the ramp 'til they're on the wagon. I know that ramp is showing up in the background of some of my photos. Looks sort of like a ladder in them. I can lift them enough to get them off the wagon and onto the ground and then I can slide them into place. The big clay pots are awkward, but mostly I can lift and move them - just not easily. The one with 'Flamingo Flambeau' is just enough larger that it's a bit much. The worst ones are some big ceramic containers. They have no hand holds a lot of the time and are slick. Plus they will break and I'd rather not do that. Even though most were purchased at sale prices, they are still more expensive than some of the other containers. I'd really prefer to grow them in the ground, but then if the deer locate them, they'll be history.
