I LOVE white daylilies. I guess I love all colors of daylilies. Smiling Thanks to all who posted these lovely photos. It is a great way to brighten a gray day here. I grow most of the ones Dot posted except Irish Halo. I really like Heavenly Angel Ice, but don't have it yet. Cindy, I was glad to see a photo of President Ronald Reagan in your garden. Is it a good grower?

I have grown seedlings for 3-4 years and seem to have an abundance of white ones. Here is one I registered this year.

POLAR SNOW

This seedling bloomed from a seed as I was discarding seeds that I didn't think were firm enough. At the last minute I buried it in a pot on the deck and I love the resulting seedling. I grow FRINGY, LAST SNOWFLAKE AND SNOW CRYSTAL, but this one is as white if not whiter than any of these. I have a name reserved for it: ICE CRYSTAL

My camera always wants to put some pink color in the photos, but the unedited photo below of ICE CRYSTAL shows the color I see with my eyes.

ICE CRYSTAL was a first year seedling and had good bud count and branching. The bloom is very flat as show in the picture below.

This seedling is a sibling to POLAR SNOW.
