    I sure would say there are more to come. Your daylily beds look fantastic. Love them.

    Wow, it's like the house rises out of a sea of daylilies!

    just beautiful :)

  • 16 years ago

    wow you have quite a collection! Very pretty! :)

  • 16 years ago

    Very pretty! You must really enjoy walking through and seeing all those blooms. Are your daylilies early this year? I have noticed that quite a few of mine are throwing up scapes and that is really early for here.

    Thanks to all for looking.
    Rita, they have been blooming like crazy. I see your blooms are starting.

    girlgroup, the daylilies are actually all along one side of the house and in back of it, but I have a path that splits them into two side. so I really do get them on left, right, etc.

    Lynn, thank you, you can see I went through a real "gotta have that one" phase.

    Hurlee, problem is, there is always another one I "need".

    Mary LU, My husband calls it surverying my kingdom when I walk through and look at the plants. What I really like to do is set a chair in the middle of them, sit in it, and just watch the birds and butterflies while enjoying the beauty of the flowers.

    Do you fertilize your daylilies? I notice you have markers, what kind do you use? Almost all that I have tried either faded or got "wrecked" in spring when I clean off the beds.

    Really beautiful. c

  • 16 years ago

    Wow, you have tons of beautiful lillies! Gorgeous!

    Mary lu, yes I do fertilize them. This year, they got only alfalfa and the fish emulsion.

    Trailrunner and Tammy, Thank you.

    Walking through your garden must be such a joy. Breathtaking indeed.

    Kay - I had to come back and look at your daylilies again. Do you have any rebloomers in there?? I am working on a large daylily bed and had ordered several re-bloomers along with the classics so I would have some blooming through-out the season. I am finding it very addicting :) ......

    Lynne,

    I have quite a few that are re-bloomers, but I order them becuase I like the way a specific cultivar looks, and If I get re-bloom, it is just a bonus. Choral Fantasy, for instance is much prettier on re-bloom than it is on initial blooming of the season.

    Wow, will continue to follow you as your blooms progress. DO most of your plants have markers? I seen some similar on a garden tour and the home owner said he got his from gardenfont.com, he siad that he has had some for 6 years and they are still in great shape.

  • 16 years ago

    Beautiful doesn't half say it. How many do you have or have you lost count :).

    Annette,
    I haven't been brave enough lately to see how many I have, but I plan to inventory in the next few weeks.

    Hosta,
    I do have markers on most of my plants, and charts to attempt to keep from losing plants and I do it occasionally anyway! My markers are a bit expensive, but the plants are also, and so, for me, it makes sense. I usually order mine from Oakes. The first and last ones I bought are indistinguishable from each other since the name of the plant is actually engraved in the plate.

    Thank you for looking at my garden.

    Who are some of your favorite vendors? I think yours are lovely!

  • 16 years ago

    I love Maryott Gardens. He sprinkles his with fairy dust so they bloom early and gives super bonuses. Marietta Gardens is good. I also have bought on the auction.

  • 16 years ago

    Lovely. How often do you divide your daylilies? Many look like new divisions. I need to divide mine more often methinks.
