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.
