Rita, your daylilies are just fabulous. Mine will be awhile yet here in Maine. Thanks for showing me yours.

The daylilies are very exotic, Rita, gorgeous. I'm going to try them again!

Lorna

Rita, they are gorgeous. Mine are just starting down here.

Here is just a pretty grouping of daylily blooms.

And I like this red flower with the dark, almost black center.

Gorgeous, I love the red with the dark center also the eleventh picture, the rosy-purple one. Do you happen to know their names. Mine are in bud but none have opened yet. Is one of the purples Swirling Waters?
Annette

What nice bright colors! Do you know the name of the purply one, the second to last in the first set of photos? It's a gorgeous one.

You have a beautiful collection of daylilies! All so pretty!

Your daylilies are beautiful! I am in Nebraska, and very excited about mine, just starting to bloom as well. Yesterday I went to a retirement sale where people dug clumps and paid $3.50 for them. By the time I got there around noon, most of the plants were gone, but I got some that had numbers for names. I will get to be surprised at what colors they are when they bloom. Sue

Those are great! Here are some of mine

I'm anxious to improve my photos of "white" flowers.

This one is actually a beautiful pale yellow with a pink wash.

Take pics late in the day, cloudy days or early morning before the sun comes out, Bouquet.

Thank you for giving their names, too. The white combo is a great idea.

Rita, can daylilies be grown from seeds? I'm in love with daylilies and I think they can grow very well in my cool region garden. But there's none available except the commonplace Hyperon (?). I hope one day I can get some daylily for my garden.

Yours are so beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

Xuan, what kind of restrictions do you have about seeds coming into your country, here in Canada there are exceptions but quite a few seeds can be sent here from the U.S. and England, no problem. If it's allowed I could probably send you a few. Some of the flowers on mine set seed others don't. I have quite a few different ones. Of course the seed would be open pollinated so they won't come true but hey, maybe you'll get something really pretty.

Rita, that last red daylily with the black eye -- I want to call it 'Eye Makeup' but know that isn't the right name -- is very striking. What companions will it have?

How do you determine which cultivars you will order? Do you prefer certain hybridizers over others?

I've always just chosen 'pretty' colors on recommendations for good clumps and bloom count. Reblooming is important in my garden.

Thanks, Nell

That last daylily is VELVET EYES and it is indeed very striking.

Last year I just picked what looked good to me in evergreen and semi evergreen. This year I went with dormants and tried to go with mostly rebloomers.

Some of my daylily beds are just that, daylilies only. Other areas are more of a flower garden, it just depends.

The purpley one is Aesthetic Ballet

Wow. Really gorgeous flowers.

Rita, what is your thought about daylilies and their sun requirements? When I've ordered daylilies from Bluestone Perennials, they say they can handle quite a bit of shade. I've got most of mine is a pretty shady area, but they don't do much. Maybe they need more sun?
Yours are gorgeous!
