Daylilies
Everyone looks like they got some great daylilies this spring! :)

I've ordered from Blue Ridge Daylilies before and remember being flabbergasted at the quality and size of the plants...not to mention the great bonuses!

I had really nice orders in May from:

Petal Pushers:
Buddy's Gloria
Cloud of Kisses
Honey on my Lips

Marietta Gardens:
Heavenly Angel Ice
Rose F. Kennedy

Oak Hill:
White Eyes Pink Dragon
Double River Wye

And Twixanddud (Laura) sent great plants!!!
Pigment of my Imagination
Clown Parade
Get R Done (bloomed today, gorgeous)
Teddy Bear Picnic

2 days ago I finally got my first order from H. Gardens that
I ordered in May!
Miss Piggy
And 1 fan of Pink Hippo as a bonus
Smoke Scream was ordered but not sent.
Had I known I wouldn't get my order until July, I would have placed an order with another vendor who could provide spring shipping. The poor plants sat in full sun in my black mailbox in 85 degree temps for hours (I wasn't informed they were shipped). They were very yellow and crispy. Disappointing.

Not planning to order anything this fall but I won't promise anything. ;) Park Lane has several daylilies that I'm looking for... I've haven't ordered from them before.

It is a very pretty one to add. You will love it!

Diana, congratulations on the master classes! One of my daughter's will have hers completed by December. It has been very stressful for her while working full time and a new relationship plus moving! You deserve to treat yourself! Hurray! Hurray!

@Bubbeez, you will love Kathy Maynard at Park Lane. She and Bonnie Nichols at Oak Hill are two of the best.
I would love to have Get R Done but it's a hard dormant and would not survive in my hot humid weather.

Since I am just getting back into getting more daylilies I am having a terrible time trying to decide. I have very limited space and there are so many great places to order from I just keep looking and waiting while I try to decide. My favorites are spiders & doubles, oh I also love fragrant ones and bud count. He,he I just guess I love them all. Hilarious!

Just try to find as many garden pictures of the plants you can find, I always find that helps weed some out.

Welcome! @troublesmom46 Hurray!
I agree with Pam except if you see published pictures of ones you like look in the database here to see how it blooms in other peoples gardens. I found out the hard way that a lot of the published pictures are enhanced Whistling D'Oh! Best to find out from others in your zone what kind work best, dormant, evergreen or semi-evergreen. I have all 3 in my zone5b but some evergreens are touchy and don't do well here. Good luck Hurray!

Oh my, it's fall ordering time again... And Floyd Cove just posted about 15 of their new Spring 2019 introductions that they are taking orders on and shipping in Sept-Oct for those who want them early. So of course I had to order right away, since I can receive them in Sept. and get some good growth on them before winter. Here's what I've ordered:

GREENZILLA
MINT JELLIES
SASSY SAPPHIRE
GLOBALLY GREEN (from fall 2017)

And I recently won two Dips from Pete Harry Daylilies (Amazing_daylilies):
ROSSEN'S BEST WISHES
FASHION LEGACY

And just this evening I won three from Judy Davisson (Davi):
LOVE SCULPTURE
AMERICAN IDOL
BACHELOR KISSES

And then I've been busy with seeds -- Just finished winning enough to fill an entire seed flat from Fred (Spunky1), who has wonderful crosses including many using his new 2019 intros plus his gorgeous LILLIAN'S RICHTER SCALE (2020 intro). So I'm totally thrilled with those!

And now I've bid on a few crosses from James (JWWC), and I'm hoping I can curtail my need for seeds after this current batch (since I have probably thousands of my own in my fridge). But they're just not from these new incredible daylilies... Sighing!

If anyone wants to check out the new Floyd Cove introductions, here is their website address -- and you might need to refresh your screen if you don't see GREENZILLA in the middle of the screen.

Ginny, that's a terrific batch of gift plants -- Wow!
