Jan, your noid reminds me of Broadway Last Mohican. Whatever it is it makes a gorgeous clump!
With the hard and very long winter we had I wasn't sure what to expect of the daylilies. So many surprised me with their ability to put the nasty weather behind them and bloom like they always have, there were a lot of gorgeous blooms this year. These top 5 (6) are mostly older cultivars in established clumps that have proven themselves year after year and stood out as favorite performers for me in 2014....
Astral Voyager, is one of the best garden plants anyone could ask for. Beautiful foliage, great scape and cool raspberry- lavender blooms day after day....
Hidden Cameras, a patterned daylily with a super plant underneath.
A toss up for small red blooms between Broadway Valentine and Little Bo Peep Diploma, both make spectacular clumps, well branched with perfect blooms day after day.
Noble Lord, an older cultivar (1992) but a favorite of everyone that walks by it. Planted in the corner of the entrance to the garden it is one of the first daylilies they see.
Tuxedo Whiskers, wonderful pattern on a perfectly hardy well branched plant.
Others that come to mind and are great performers year after year....
Magic of Oz
Elegant Candy
Doc Webster
Kansas Kitten
Jerry Hyatt
Man in the Maze
Point of Divergence
Panties in a Knot
Planet Claire
Vanilla Gorilla...I'm certain I could list many, many more!
