Rita..you mentioned that you use straw for mulching your daylilies in the summer. Do you use something different in the winter? I do not have any daylilies but I have written down some of yours that I like a lot and will look them up to see their blooming time and if they are rebloomers. When you have a name enclosed like (Curt Hansons) is that the person you purchased it from or that person shared it with you? I have to do some more reseach and find out more about daylilies..the more pictures I see of them, the more I want to try to grow them. I had Stella D'ora once and guess I didn't know anything about where it would grow best because we dug it up and it went into yard waste after the 2nd. or 3rd. yr. Do you deadhead yours every day? That's a lot of deadheading with as many as you have! What happens to your daylily beds in the winter? Do they go dormant? I had to look several times at Two Janes and Rich in Mercy as they are very similar but after comparing their color differences, Rich in Mercy is a deeper color and I like that best I think. I have dear friends whose last name is Janes so I was looking at it for that very reason. I've seen Chicago Apache on Gatsby's Gardens blog and love it.
I'm sure as organized and knowledgeable as you appear to be, how do you manage to know the names of all those you have. I didn't see any plant markers showing in any of your pictures. What type do you use? Could you show a picture of how your markers are made up and displayed. Do you use a label maker with laminated labels?
