Well, thanks to Kabby and Maximus, I've got a couple dozen Munsons on my wish list. Now I REALLY need to make sure our next home has a big yard. . . .

Thanks for all the awesome pictures - more, please!

Laurel

WOW! Awesome Munson photos! I am new on this site and busy filling up my "wish list notebook". Yes, the wish list has went to notebook size. I have a few Munsons also doing very well here in OH - zone 5. I have photos, but how to I put them on the follow-ups? I know how to put them in the gallery? Anyone willing to help me out and I will provide photos of Benedict, Morning Mirage, and Anguilla.
Thanks

Kabby -- I added Thais and Petruchio this year, but no blooms yet. I'll let you know next year how "bi" Petruchio is. Vermilion Clouds is on my "MUST ACQUIRE" Munson list that is already three pages long. Keep 'em coming!

Amber -- I'm an ignoramus when it comes to computers. Somebody had to tell me how to do it in a post last year. Search for a previous post about posting pics/photos and you'll get a better how-to than I could give. (And I want to see Anguilla!)

Chris

BTW, I was thinking about a "Show Me Your Hansons" thread next.

I have one that none of you have listed. It is French Frosting, a creamy crepey light yellow self. I had it in a pot out front and my daughter ran over the pot and crushed it when she backed out of the garage. I managed to rescue 3 fans of it. Since then she has run over some other pots and her dad got onto her about the way she has been backing out.

Angie,

This was posted by mmqchdygg on another thread, so I've just copied & pasted it here for you (easier than typing it all myself). NOTE: I did edit a tad bit

Photobucket:
1. go to http://www.photobucket.com and register - for free

2. You will have a 'main' album (you can create others later if you want, but for now, just use the main one for this exercise).

3. Pictures on your computer or on a disk? There's a "Submit Multiple Images" drop down button. You can change the number of pix to upload using the button there, or just do one at a time.

4. The "Browse" button lets you go find your pix on your computer or on your disk. Just click the browse button and go find your pix, then give them a name if you want.
Photobucket will resize automatically if they are too big. Don't worry about that part.

5. Once they are uploaded, you can scroll down on that page to see the pix

6. Underneath each picture, there are 3 white boxes with HTML code in them. The first one is the URL, second one is the TAG, and the IMG one. For the next part, you will use the TAG code

7. Click on the TAG code, then hit Ctrl+C.

8. Come back to your GW message window and hit Ctrl+V to paste your tag.

That should do it!!

Tammy (& mmqchdygg)

beautiful blooms.I really LOVE that Ruffles Lemon Piping.Its gorgeous.

Tammy:

Thanks for the picture information. I have finally (with your help) got it figured out. Look out - I love to show photos of my daylilies.
Maximus - I am going to have to search for my picture of Anguilla. Got it this Spring as a bonus and it's a beauty.
Here are some Munsons's that I have.
Amber Sunset

Benedict

Thanks for the posts, Rocky. I added Benedict this year, but no blooms. So who on earth sent you Anguilla as a bonus??!!

FFO on Cozumel this morning, but it doesn't look very "Munson-like" to me:

Chris

I really like 'Thais' and 'Amber Sunset'. Thought I liked edges, but I guess maybe if you have a great eye they can be a distraction too.

Chris
Love to buy from Southwestgardens on the DL Auction. Gary is awesome at sending really good bonus plants. He had a note on Anguilla saying this was one awesome Munson, and it is! Set a couple pods on it and used pollen successfully. I am still searching for the picture. I take so many pictures (unorganized), so have to dig for it. Oh, and I vote to start a Hanson or Gossard thread.
Amber~

Lol, I got Anguilla as a bonus from Southwestgarden on the LA, too!

This picture isn't great (sorry) but I think it only had a couple of blooms, being new and all...and this appears to be the only one I caught (that I have found):

{{gwi:917842}}

I will be getting King's Cotillion in a shipment I have coming soon. I've been drooling over this beauty for a couple years so finally had to make the splurge for it. First increase goes to Chris!
Nancy
KING'S COTILLION....this is the auction photo that was posted

I have really enjoyed these pics and now I MUST have King's Cotillion - I hope it is not a 50 dollar daylily :-)

Maureen

I'M ONE HAPPY CAMPER!!!!!!!! Nancy, just let me know what kind of fertilizer I should send you to get increase on KC!

GG, I don't think your pic is Anguilla -- Tinker's pic below. (But yours sure is purdy!)

Amber, Hanson thread is coming.

Chris

Here is a link that might be useful: Anguilla courtesy of Tinker's

I'll be posting more tomorrow, have to upload some pics into Picturetrails.

I agree Chris, the above photo is not ANGUILLA. It's an UF and always looks like a UF. I'm sorry gonegardening. :(
Amber you have to post MORNING MIRAGE. It's RARE!!("I" don't even have it.) I was googling last week and I put in MM and it showed up in Hortiplex. You had only been registered a day or two!
Okay let's start today's menu.
SIMPLY GRAND(84) It GLOWED in the garden.

MICHELIN HOUSE(92) FFO This flower was HUGE, registered at 7".

CHINESE PRINCESS(79)
{{gwi:668059}}
PANAMA SCARLET(00) The darn thing wouldn't stop blooming and reblooming. I'd walk in the garden and say hey isn't that pret... aw heck it's just PS AGAIN! LOL!

MANCHURIAN APRICOT(82)

CEZANNE(90)

Wow.. wow.. wow! Beautiful flowers! Thanks so much for posting RUFFLED LEMON PIPING. I definitely need to get those!!!

Wow I just searched Google for the Ruffled Lemon Piping, and look what came up!

http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&lr=&q=RUFFLED%20LEMON%20PIPING&btnG=Search&sa=N&tab=wi

TONS of different looking ones! How can I insure that I get one that looks like yours? May I ask where you got it? Thanks so much!

~ Jennifer

Hmmm, Chris. Gary has never sent anything that wasn't so...maybe he will take a look at this. Also, mine does match the description, I think, and it was a rainy day...and sometimes, they don't twist until later in the day, I've noticed, with good sun...both those pics on Tinkers were taken in bright sun.

I hope Amber up there posts hers. That would help. I know, I can send it to the Munson yahoo group and maybe Doug there can help. I'll email Gary, too.

Ok, Kabby...you are certainly a Munson expert, I defer! I have emailed Gary, though, and asked him to come take a look...so, hopefully, he will.

Beautiful pics, Kabby -- especially love that watermark on Cezanne, but will have to get Panama Scarlet from your endorsement alone!

Kabby
Yes, I entered the photo of Morning Mirage in Hortiplex. This daylily has a cute story to go with it. I was visiting a small garden where the older lady was selling entire clumps of daylilies $1 - 3. She had each daylily marked by name, however I couldn't find MM in Eureka so bought anyway for a whopping $3.00. I kept 8 or so fans and gave the rest to my daylily club as a donation to our public auction. Would be happy to share with you or maybe trade. I love your photo of MANCHURIAN APRICOT.
And....I am still searching for my photo of Anguilla, however it does look like the photo previously posted.
This photo of Morning Mirage was a bloom after digging the clump so not a good photo.

I'm sorry GG, I really didn't want it to be wrong!! It's just a little too bagelly though. I found a photo in my files from Tee Money so I will post her pic of ANGUILLA and there are some other nice pics in Tinker's database.
{{gwi:917859}}
Jennifer on the google images you listed #1, 7, and 12 are correct for RUFFLED LEMON PIPING. I clicked on some of the other pictures and the real name of the daylily would show up, like RUSSIAN EASTER.
The name of my Munson guru and who I bought RLP from is Gene Wynn of Jasper FL. His fall pricelist is going out this week. His email is wgwynn99@hotmail.com I'll show some of the plants I have bought from him over the yrs.
SPRING ALLURE(96)

DRUID SPELL(93)

VIOLET SUNRISE(96) I started shrieking when I got his first pricelist. This is such a beauty and uncommon.

SILVER SCREEN(86)

He had old and new, common and rare. Chris I don't know if he has it now but he did have ALVATINE TAYLOR YATES. He grows tremendously big plants, I've never been disappointed.
Amber, we'll talk!!

I'm e-mailing right now -- thanks!

I will have to agree with Kabs..That certainly is not Anguilla. Accidents happen even to the best of us including any that might come from Gary. I got it from him several years ago and it is correct so I know he did have it and it was correct at that time. Anguilla does not have a gold edge at all. Kabs & I are racing to see who has the mostest Munsons... I will consede to her now that I see that awesome picture of one I do not have...Manchurian Apricot

Thank you SO much, Kabby! I just emailed him! :)

GORGEOUS pictures! Thanks so much for sharing them with us!

~ Jennifer

Chris, I dunno, what kind of fertilizer would one suggest to go for increase?
Never actually thought about it.
Kabby, I AM IN LOVE with VIOLET SUNRISE!
Everyone's pictures are AWESOME and BREATHTAKING! Thanks for sharing them. This thread takes way too long to load, someone should start a new one! I don't have a lot of Munson's but I sure enjoy looking at them!
Nancy

Dayliliesrus, would you please post a picture of your Anguilla from Gary?

Thanks!

Alas..Anguilla did not bloom this year for me..It is sooo very dry here that my bloom was not great. Then what bloom I had went unexpectantly into a dear's stomach.. Not a good year!! I have never had a decent pic of it and the one I had was lost in a computer crash last year. Mine is simply by memory and when it comes to Munsons, LOL..there is little we forget..

LOL..Maybe I should have said Deer's stomach... If I had caught my "Dear" eating them, I would have knocked him out..LOLOLOL... Electric Fence next year!!

Oh, Kabby, I am drooling! My 2007 lust list has grown even longer - THAIS, PETRUCHIO (a bicolor?? Be still my heart!), Violet Sunrise, KING'S COTILLION and I've been looking for Anguilla for years! I am getting ready tonight to plant CHINESE PRINCESS and a few others in a new bed. And you know I've been in pursuit of MOONSPUN for awhile .....

Could that bonus plant from Gary be ALL AMERICAN MAGIC? He had sent it to me one year as a bonus and it does have a gold edge.

Thank you for your suggestion, shanachie1. I went over and looked at AAM on Tinker's and I'm not sure from those pictures.

When something is a bonus, and Gary certainly sends very nice bonus plants, I don't really want to make any waves.

I have emailed with him and based on those emails, I was really curious about dayliliesrus' Anguilla from Gary. Oh well.

I have really enjoyed the Munson show and discovered that I have a few of them. I really don't know much about Mr. Munson and his daylilies. Could someone give a brief history lesson about him and his beautiful flowers or direct me to a source on info about him.

Thanks for your help.
Carol

Thought it might be good to bring this one back up......since we are having some Munson.....Focus....

Lovely pictures. Great Thread.

Hi. I was looking at Gene Wynn's catalog and googled Spring Allure daylily. I could not find anything on it online except this thread and the beautiful picture. Everything else had the word spring and word allure, but not together. Can you tell me more about this daylily? Is the color on the thread above accurate? Is it evergreen? When does it bloom, etc. etc. Is it a "must have?" Scapes? blooms? Thanks.

Missylin, yes the color is correct although I have a photo of it with a darker color. It is evergreen and it blooms here in AL the last week in May, 1st week in June for me. I guess that would make it a midseason bloomer. The bloom is small for a Munson, 4.5in.
Yes it is a must have, Gene was the first that I have ever seen offer it. Then again Gene was the first vendor on a lot of Munsons that are circulating today. I love it and I'm not fond of small flowered daylilies!

Since we are currently talking about Munsons again, here is an old post with lots of pictures and info. Bumping up.
