Wow, lovely daylilies today. So great to have something blooming and those three are all very pretty ones. I think that is great how you did the two pictures from both sides, one featuring the daylilies and the other the hurracaine lilies. I do think the hurracaine lily is really pretty. Not something we grow around here.

Kathy, these are terrific blooms. So pretty everyone of them.
Maybe I'll try TWO PART HARMONY next year. I'm on a doubles kick LOL.
The Hurricane Lily is a wonderful color of red and I like what you did with the reverse pics. NICE!

Rita, they might very well be hardy for you. I grow them here in VA without a problem...although here, (lol) we call them spider lilies. I can understand, given the time of year they bloom, why they acquired the name hurricane lilies....

Nice pictures, Kathy! I love Missouri Memories...I grow it in two places and am thinking I need to combine them as that would make a much needed spot available.

How Sweet It Is is not a happy camper here, I'm sorry to say...so, it has been dug up. Your picture gives me pangs of regret...lol.

Enjoyed seeing daylilies and others blooming...

Rita, The Hurricane Lilies are fairly common around here. They shoot up overnight and bloom quickly. The show doesn't last long, but I look forward to them every year. The nicest thing about them is that they are so easy - plant them and forget about them. I don't know how cold hardy they are, but they aren't expensive, so it might be worth a try.

Julia, TWO PART HARMONY only doubles for me about half the time. Having said that, I think it's just as pretty when it's single. It has had good increse and is one of my most reliable rebloomers.

GG, I can see why you call them Spider Lilies - they are certainly that - lol! I love MISSOURI MEMORIES too - it has been amazing this year...beautiful scapes with excellent branching. HOW SWEET IT IS took a while to settle in here, but it has done well this year. It looks like it's going to have two blooms open tomorrow. So, if the picture changes above, it's because I replaced it with the twins.

That hibiscus is just gorgeous! Were the seedlings let go, ones that you've been evaluating a few years?

They are called SPIDER LILIES HERE TOO,tHATS A GORGEOUS DAYLILY.

Those are nice ones to have reblooming! Thanks for sharing your photos!

Kathy,

Thanks for all the pictures. Your hibiscus is called El Capitolo. If you do a search on it, you'll find lots of pictures as well as some apricot colored sports. It's a generous bloomer. Also, your Siam Tulips are in the ginger family, in the genus Curcuma. After they bloom they'll die back to a bulb. You might want to move them without disturbing the roots so they can 'recharge' the bulbs for next bloom season. I have both hibiscus and curcumas in pots here in Indiana, but this time of year, I wish I were in Florida since everything's coming inside in pots for the winter.

The daylilies are lovely! My spider/hurricane lilies just started blooming yesterday. I always forget how late they bloom & have given up on them when I see them bloom. The Siam Tulips are so pretty & unusual

Those are so pretty! I love the daylilies. My spider lilies are blooming too, and I want to mark them since they need dividing.

They are supposedly for zones 6-10.

CTC, The seedlings were two years old. I kept about 50, gave away about 50 and threw out the rest.

Jean, Thank you - glad you enjoyed the pics!

Debra, Yes, this time of year I'm grateful for any rebloom...any color at all is appreciated.

Bob, Thank you for the info! The tropicals don't always survive our winters. We are borderline, here in the panhandle. Occasionally, we'll have a mild winter and the hibiscus, banana trees, etc, will be huge the following summer. And sometimes, after a severe winter, they die. Fortunately, my plants aren't too expensive and can be replaced. This time of year, I'm glad to see their blooms!

ngraham, Yes, part of the reason I love the hurricane lilies is that they bloom so late. I'm always looking for Fall color. Hopefully, the Siam Tuplips will bloom again next year.

Kay, I wish my hurricane lilies needed dividing. They still look a little skimpy to me, but they are slowly increasing. I'm just impatient.

Kathy

Very nice. It has been a great year for Missouri Memories, hasn't it? How Sweet It Is is a looker.

I think I like 2 part harmony better as a single . It's lovely as they all are. I'm glad you posted the picture of the Hurricane Lilies as I have some blooming and didn't know what they were. it's been many years since I have seen a bloom on them. If fact, I forgot I had them. Your photographey is really great with the different angles. keep up the good work and I do like your "Siam tulips" Ellie

mantis, Yes, MM has been exceptional this year. Funny thing is, it didn't overly impress me last year. I guess it just needed more time to settle in.

Ellie, I think I like TPH better as a single, too. I like my doubles either really full or stacked neatly (hose-in-hose). TPH isn't either one, really... sort of a wannabe double. But it's a good all around plant and I'd recommend it. I'm glad your Hurricane Lilies are blooming and that you were able to identify them.
