There are so many yellow daylilies that a lot of people think who needs another. Shade ,form ,size, height of scape , early ,mid or late blooming it always nice to have a diverse mix to extend the bloom season. This yellow self seedling no145 to me seams to have a quality of moving as its just standing still. This seedling will have a spot in my garden . Have a good day in the garden.

Techny Peach Lace is a daylily hybridized by the late Brother Charles Reckamp. The daylilies he hybridized are still a joy to many thousands still today and Im sure years to come. Brother Charles registered some 239 different one's. Hope your enjoying your garden.

This is seedling 110 it has the diamond dusting and a nice blend of colors has ruffling around the petals this is what makes gardening worthwhile. There is always a feeling of luck to when a seedling impresses me, I would read about hybridizes who would plow over 20 thousand seedling after only picking out a few they liked.
There have been many average seedlings but also many that are just as fine as any garden store. The diversity of size, color and shape really make this a great hobby . The possibilities are endless. Go and enjoy you garden.

Garden surprise

Once in a while it pay to save some of volunteer plants which your not really sure of. This year in one of my pots out back it looked like a cucumber plant but i was not really sure if it was. I planted it the middle of my cucumber bridge which is made out of concrete wire. After a little while i could tell the leaves were just a little bigger and the flower blooms a lot bigger than the cucumbers . Now that I know it's not a cucumber but not quite sure what kind of gourd it is . I will watching to see how big it gets. Have fun gardening.

With much needed rain the flowers and grass will perk up and look even brighter. Its been a dry summer so far and the daylilies have shown how tough thy are by blooming even under less than ideal conditions. The bloom season is slowing down but the late bloomers are still sending up scapes. These daylilies show the triangle shape and the ones with the bright yellow throat's really catch the eye. Good gardening

4Th of July

It was nice and cool this morning . All the plants look great ,lots of daylilies still blooming. I am starting to clear more space in the back of my lot to move some of the first seedling and make room for new seedling in the old goat pen.

being creative when taking pictures shows how some of the daylily flowers curl and how some stay flatter.Looking at a daylilys form is just as rewarding as color. There are so many combination's of each and I was lucky enough to grow some really nice seedling's. Check out all the angles and have some fun taking pictures of your favorite flowers. You never know what will be waiting to be capture by your camera. Have some fun out in the garden too.

Multiple blooms on seedling A-3 catching the sun around six o'clock in the evening. Many people are surprised that daylilies are able to grow and bloom so well under trees. If i had to name this daylily for registration I think I would call it "Kisses for you " Have a good day.

surprised not to be looking at daylilies. There is always room left for tomatoes and zucchini in the garden. Eggplant,bell peppers, cucumbers all growing in the woods. I give each plenty of space since they compete with the trees for light. Just picked the first cucumber and zucchini yesterday. The neighbors chickens often visit the garden even though the fence is around the garden. A few tomatoes get pecked at once in a while but they eat bugs most of the day. Now that its getting warmer I started putting grass clippings and leafs as mulch. Have a good day in the garden steve.

The dark rich color with a black eye and orange throat made this seedling stick out of the crowd . Even with all the other fine daylilies this one's a keeper. Seedling no. 9235. By clicking on any picture and after it appears on your screen click again and it will give a magnified view. Good gardening .

Daylily Royal Palace Prince was hybridize by Klehm. It is a four and a half in flower of rose lavender blend on a 24 inch high scape. It is dorment in the winter which is good for us norther gardeners. It is also a tetraploid which means it has 44 chromosomes if you are interested in cross breading. It goes beautiful with Hydrangeas . Good gardening for now.

The bold burgundy color with the bright yellow throat really catches one's eye. The Lavenders in different shades make a great group shot. The reds really glow with the sun light glowing through the petals. There are just too many daylilies to show in one day so I hope to post a daily picture all year. Maybe in the middle of a winter storm Ill be able to design a new garden bed based on only a few colors.

These were some of the daylilies that bloomed last year. Four blooms at once made a big impact with the bold eye and yellow throat and cream petals . Every time I think I know what my favorite one is I will see another new one I like.

After a day of record temperatures the daylilies looked great. With so many blooms in my seedling pen it was hard to think back four years ago when I was planting the first seedlings. It seemed that it would be forever fulling the old Goat Pen ,each seedling was no bigger than a blade of grass and keeping up weeding the first year was the major chore. Now they are close enough that the weeds have a hard time creeping in. The next big job will be to start moving and separating some of the big clumps before they choke themselves out .

When the first daylilies bloomed two years ago I moved them and split them into two rows as most were two fans. Now the two rows are getting full. This clump of red daylilies was in the goat pen and now is ready to split again.

Some people think it strange to grow a plant whose flower last only one day. For daylily growers its the anticipation of what tomorrow brings that just makes you stop and check out each days blooms and finding surprises. Even fifteen minutes out of a busy day seams to drop ones stress level and rejuvenate one's spirit.

Daylily Red Ribbons is one of many shapes and colors that Daylilies come. With its long narrow petals and septals this is known as a Spider daylily. Another favorite is Ruby Spider with wider petals that really catch one's eye. The daylily Sombrero Way with its apricot blend shines across the lawn. I hope to spark some interest in the different forms and colors that many people have never seen.

Sunset upon the Daylilies

Being the longest day of the year just meant more time catching up on all the garden chores. Watching the colors starting to glow as the sunset made all the time spent working worthwhile.The magical time was when the fire fly's all started to hover just above the daylilies, the evening was just a few minutes away . Tomorrow will be here with new blooms to be enjoyed. This is a picture of Moonlite Masquerade.
