It doesn't look familiar to me, but whatever it is -- it's gorgeous!

It is very pretty, but I don't know what it is.

I don't recognize it either, but it's a lot prettier than what I got when I ordered Blueberry Sundae from Dutch Gardens in 2003. They refunded my money and I ended up getting rid of it. If it had looked as good as yours I would have kept it!

not Blueberry Sundae

Juliet

We ordered blueberry sundae a few years back during the Dutch Gardens fiasco and ended up with lots of daylilies, none of which were actually blueberry sundae.

I was hoping to ask what it was they actually sent, but from this post it looks like they sent different things labeled as blueberry sundae. What a disappointment. We still don't have blueberry sundae.

Not sure what it is but, I love it, it's gorgeous! I just ordered blueberry Sundae this spring, but not from dutch. I haven't see it in bloom yet. I ordered it from Wilds and they only sent me one fan! I'm sorry you didnt get what you want. If you ever want to get rid of her you can send it my way, lol.

Wow.. concurrence... what a beauty! No ideas though...

My mislabeled blueberry sundaes are about to bloom. I will take pictures this time and will likely have a few fans to share because we now have 6 huge clumps of something that is not blueberry sundae.

I'll have to look up blueberry sundae to see what it looks like. I agree that yours is lovely. I am interested to hear about this Dutch place. Are they still in business. Sounds like they had a modus operandi of sending anything labled anything from what I read here. Is Blueberry Sundae very rare? Is that why people get other plants labled B.S. (no pun intended) and others get one fan. ??

Well, the pictures above are not mine, but if I remember correctly mine looks like the second picture. I will get pictures this year. I think someone said it looks like Always Afternoon.

Dutch Gardens had a huge problem in 2003 with sending out plants as Blueberry Sundae and they just weren't at all.. the thing is, no one realized it until they bloomed the next year. They are still in business, and actually we've gotten a lot of nice things from them and they really did their best to make up for this fiasco by sending replacements which still weren't correct in 2004 and then in 2005 didn't sell them at all but sent us a gift certificate to make up for it. So they lost out big on the sale of these and we all lost out because no one got Blueberry Sundae... I still don't have it and want it but I'm scared to try to buy it now. I'm not sure if it's rare or what.. I mean I see it listed for sale as "rare" but they call lots of things rare that aren't really.

I don't blame Dutch Gardens because their supplier obviously screwed up. I don't think it was something intentional they did...I just wish I could have gotten a true BS instead of the BS I did get ;)

I'll keep you posted when the blooms come.

I do hope I am not interfering on this thread but I have a pic of BS from last year! It's very beautiful. I don't know what your bloom is from but I like it!..Ellie

Ok I am totally confused on this Blueberry Sundae.

After seeing your pic Ellie I decide I love it and went is search of it.

Ridaught - www.ridaught.com is sold out. But their pic isn't anywhere near as dark purple as yours. Figured their pic taken in sun, yours in shade. Their flower may even be faded by the sun.

I then looked at www.A1daylilies.com because it is a local nursery for me here in Ohio. Their picture closely resembles the picture posted by Juliet above.

Could the differences be climate that causes coloring variations? Ridaught in FL and A1 in Ohio? or is A1 just selling the wrong day lily under the blue sundae name?

This is so confusing on who to trust when buying day lilies.

I think a1 has the wrong picture because their description of color does not even match their picture.
Jill

Ellie.. yours is the one that i want. Too bad Ridaught is sold out. :(

A1 is listing the one I have (the picture anyway)as Blueberry Sundae, and that's not it.

Someone caused a huge confusion by mislabeling this plant in 2003.

Go to Goldcoastdaylilies.com for anyone who wants it. They have it listed for 15.00 and they are SUPER to buy from. Have never gotten anything mislabeled from them.

Carol, my picture was very dark on everything that year. Last year, I think. My purples all looked nearly black. So go a couple of shades lighter and you have it. The pattern and forn on yours isn't even close so I would say that some folks are selling either a culture or a Blueberry something else for BBS. Mine, is definitly BBS. I will look for another pic ( mine ) and post it if I find one of a lighter color...Ellie

It reminds me of Lavender Halo. I don't know your flower size or scape height. Check this one on Tinkers.

Mine is more mauve than lavender.. I'm pretty sure now that it's Always Afternoon..

gnomey, that's what I thought when I saw your picture.

Carol, I found another picture of BBS. It isn't a good one because as you can see, it had been storming and the whole storm landed on BBS. Ellie

{{gwi:844428}}

Ellie.. storm or no storm it's still a real BBS and very pretty :) It's on my wish list for next spring.

Carol Mi, I hope I don't hurt anyone's feelings but your daylily, to my eyes, is prettier than Blueberry Sundae. I think the color is gorgeous! Your's is lovely too, Juliet. Is that the one you got rid of? Nice bright colors. I'm just getting into daylilies, though. But to my eye, it's pretty. But I can see if you ordered Blueberry sundae, that's what you want. Seems like there are a lot of problems with people getting what they order.

I think Carol's daylily is beautiful too - if mine had looked like that I wouldn't have gotten rid of it. The one I got was ok, but I have a very small garden, and there are other daylilies I like better. After the mix up with Dutch Gardens, I decided to only order daylilies from nurseries that specialize in daylilies and all of my daylilies have been right so far (still waiting to see on my recent orders when they bloom). So the only time I had a problem with getting what I ordered was with Dutch Gardens.

The purple edged purple eyezone white flower is definitely Blueberry Sundae. The one the original poster might just be a seedlig?

I am disappointed with my blueberry sundae. I have had it for 5 years, it has yet to bloom or multiply and is scrawny in foliage. So until I see the bloom, well, my purchase from Dutch Gardens at this point has been VERY VERY 5 star ***** disappointing on this particular plant.

So many years waiting with baited breath to see just "grass"! UGH!

If that is typical of that particular hybrid, I am not wanting this non-bloomer in my gardden space, I have enough grass!! LOL!If someone has one that blooms like religion with a good size clump they want to toss this way, though, I am not beneth trying another one just hoping mine is a fluke. The flower is so gorgeous.. I really do want it in the garden. But dang!! its a frustrating booger!

I am no expert, but K.Van Bourgondien & Sons (a Dutch bulb wholesale place) sold the daylily Eleanore. It looks close.

Here is a link that might be useful: daylily eleanor

I got my blueberry sundae (along with you angel you and pandora's box) last year from van bourgendien, before I realized the crappiness of their plants, and it has yet to bloom. The fans on all three were too small to bloom last year, this year they look bigger and maybe perhaps they will, and am hoping they will be true to name. Until they bloom, I won't know, but I have my doubts they will be. They are probably seedlings from unknown parentage. If they are pretty, I'll keep them, if not, bye bye they go and I will have to order them from somewhere much more reputable.
