What daylilies did you get? I'll be watching for pictures this summer. Isn't is fun to get new daylilies, I love the anticipation of seeing new blooms.

I got JUNGLE BEAUTY, SALIERI, MIDNIGHT MAGIC, DOMINIC. And as a gift they included SMITH BROTHERS, which is also a dark one.
These will be very first dark ones in my garden. Most everything else is red, pink, orange, yellow, or lavender.

I ordered the "I want it all" package for my mother back in about 2004-2005. They have been a delight every year since then, with an amazing diversity of colors, forms, etc.

I only regret that I haven't ordered any of the "new" ones since then. Maybe someday.

I don't have any of those, but I've seen photos of all but Salieri, I think. You will like them, I'm sure, I love the dark ones I have.

I love the idea of "I want it all" package. This is how I feel every time I order - so far received 3 packages and expecting 4 more from various catalogs. Spring makes me lose control and put me in "I want it all" mood :).

What fun Natalie. A good order is such a day brightener. You will surely have to post pictures when your new babies bloom.

I just placed an order from Oakes, too. I'm happy to hear you received nice plants. I've never mail ordered any plants before, so I was a little nervous.

whiteforest, you won't be disappointed. I adore Oakes and the size plants they send can't be beat! I've ordered from the several times and have yet to have a single issue.

I spent a whole day planting Daylilies from another company I've ordered from (I will not mention their name). Oakes sent three times as big divisions, and each fan was larger then individual ones this other company sent.
So, while I was thinking how much less the other company charged per unit, it actually did not. The plants arrived in a very good condition and healthy looking, but comparing single smaller fan with triple bigger fans - would not be fair.
So, Oakes's prices are not high at all considering the quality and size of Daylilies they send.
I think they are a very good deal.

Yay Natalie for new daylilies. Its such an addictive hobby. Seems like everything is addictive to me though. lol!! Oakes was the very first place I ordered from too. They send the best sized plants. I started ordering a few years ago from Maryotts and a couple others because it seemed they had more newer varieties. They were fewer fans but they grow super fast. Check later in the year for Maryotts sales. I did a small order from Oakes this year for my daughter because you just can't beat their prices for such huge clumps. I hope you enjoy your new plants and anxious to see them blooming. Take care, Judy

Judy, I checked out Maryotts - what an eye candy! So tempted! Will wait till sale though. Their DLs are so pretty and ruffled - wow!

That sounds like a great group of daylilies that you received. You will love Smith Brothers, it is probably my darkest. That is so great that you got it as a bonus.
Happy planting, and make sure you post your new blooms.
