CAPTIVATING *C* daylilies, 2017

I've got a few more to post for the C's. the first one, Crystaline Entity, I ordered last spring after seeing a post here, had to have it. It's a glorious pink.

Coast to Coast I added in the fall of 2014. It's done alright for me. I don't remember seeing this one posted by anyone else.
Claudines Charm was added two seasons ago. It's multiplied nicely for me and is one of my favorites.
Cheese and Wine finished it's second full season in my garden this past summer. I think the name describes the color really well.
Chicago Fire is my only bright orangey-red. It's been color fast here in the three seasons I've had it.
Chicago Arnies Choice is a simple bloom I've had for awhile. It's a nice purple in my garden, that's hard to come by it seems. A lot of the purple daylilies seem to be more dusty in color here.

    Corinthian Pink --Slow to increase, but a large, imposing flower

    Carolina Cool Down --okay last year, but still gaining clump strength

    Court Troubadour --an older one that takes a nice picture. Raindrops? An oddity here for 2016.

    Clown Parade --many pics of this one exaggerate the color contrast that I see in my garden. Not a great year for this one.
    Cool Hand Luke --now in the garden
    Arnette Zapell --now in the garden

    Cory Tipple --looked exceptionally clean this year

    Curtis Montgomery --will see how it does in the garden. Picture may exaggerate color contrast, but needs garden to show its worth. The white stuff is deer repellent.

    Classic Romance (from a previous year)

    Charming Charlie --an early one. Not a good year, but was hardly alone in that category.

    Here are the C's from my garden:

    Caribbean Whipped Cream - Had a great bloom season this year. I believe it likes its new spot.

    Connie Can't Have It: Not a prolific bloomer but a pretty face.

    COURAGE TO CHANGE: Received as a bonus. Nice pattern. Will receive pollen this year.

    Clown Parade: Always a favorite.


    CHAIN ENERGY: Supposed to be a good breeder for patterns and blue eyes. Performs very well for me.


    Color Coordinated: Received as a bonus plant.

    Channeled Aggression: Consistent performer. I like the strawberry watermark.

    COURT MAGICIAN

    Cobra Skin Necktie: Tall plant with many blooms.

    COCKY AND BOLD


    More to follow.

    Mantis: I hope you are recovering today and in not too much pain. I always look forward to your posts and comments........Sherry: Your picture of Coast to Coast with the white daisies is lovely....Celeste: I saw Country French years ago at the daylily show surrounded by it's fair share of ribbons. And I always like Cat Dancer when I see it. Brad: Christopher Russell has some pretty colors: Nan: Curious Cutie is very cute indeed. Julia: Clown Parade is always an attention getter. So many more nice ones, but the above caught my eye this trip..........Maryl

    Here are a few more that I discovered:

    CARNIVAL IN MEXICO: Does very well here.

    Circus Performer: One of the Petits that reaches its registered height.

    Cerulean Warbler: One of the few Lambertsons that grows well for me.

    Chesapeake Crablegs: Being from MD, I have to grow this one.

    Creative Edge

    Charlotte Roycroft: This is a really nice plant that frequently polys


    CHEROKEE HERITAGE: A nice tall plant that was hybridized by Marie Skelley of MD. I would visit her garden on a regular basis and get into bidding wars at the local daylily club auction.


    Critical Mass: Nice red from Whatley.


    Courts of Europe: Makes huge plants but is slow to increase.


    Coral Majority


    That concludes my contribution to the letter "C"


    Have a great day and stay warm.

    These really catch my attention: Clarity of Vision, Carnival in Brazil, Catastrophe Waitress, Carolina Sunrise, & Claudine's Charm. However, there are so many nice ones besides these!

    Cheddar Cheese

    Julia, Laura (Twix n' Dud) has said that she considers Jamie Dockery to be a cultivar superior to Claudine's Charm. She complained that CC tends to canoe with heat and often doesn't open well after a cool night. How would you compare the two?

    Cobraskin Necktie, just recently placed in garden.

    Cosmic Traveler --poor performance in 2016


    College Colors --I like this one, but not a great performer this past year.

    Trying again to load pics.

    Cool It an old reliable for me.

    Cherry Cheeks - I really need to move her, she is getting a little too much sun.

    Chesapeake Crablegs

    Custard Candy - The color changes so much depending in the light.

    Hope these load properly this time Sherry. Thanks again.

    Mantis - Your Cobraskin Necktie is showing wonderful color and pattern. Mine didn't show the pattern well at all. Maybe it was too hot when it bloomed.

    Signet - Creation makes a stunning clump.

    Claudine's Charm - All these lovely photos are making me miss it. It was lost two years ago after growing sucessfully in a pot for four years.

    I'm going to try to post my photos again. I've never had problems posting photos here, but yesterday they would not go through.


    Cardinal Desire was one of my better performers last year with a bud count of 20 and rebloom in late October and early November.


    Charlie


    Cool Twister gave a great performance last year and was one of my longest bloomers. It was the first to bloom and rebloomed on several scapes.


    Carefree Sunset


    Cary Grant


    Creature of the Night

    And some more of my C's.

    Cloaked in Secrecy was a good performer last year when most in my garden were not.

    Cool Hand Luke - good performance last year, but not as outstanding as in previous seasons


    Cherokee Star with Desperado Love in the background


    Carolina Cool Down


    Cobra Skin Necktie growing in a pot


    Coastal Grand

    Crimson Reflections is always a nice rebloomer.

    So many nice blooms! I have a few C's.

    CANADIAN BORDER PATROL -- added Spring 2015 but did not bloom until its second year.

    CAT DANCER -- added Spring 2016


    CLAUDINE'S CHARM--added June 2016


    COBALT DAWN - added Fall 2015


    CONDILLA -- added Spring 2015.

    Thanks for looking!

    Shive and Brad , yes Creation is a great plant and a really good increaser . I highly recommend this plant


    Shive , I dont know if it is the angle of your daylily in your photo of Cobraskin Necktie but doesnt look like any pictures I can find of it . I only got mine this past season so havent seen it bloom yet but any picture I can find of it online doesnt show it presenting any blue in the petals . All the pics appear to be a purple with a somewhat lighter purple eye that is not very distinct .The throat is a very distinctive yellow v . Would you have another image of it by any chance that would more clearly show the face of it ? I really like your image and I hope mine looks more like yours than what I can find pictures of online .

    Charming Charlie. As I said, I do not have my pics organized enough to even participate in this parade! But I do know which ones put on a show last summer and this one did, reblooming until mid October. And this is exactly how it looked!!

    Thanks for letting me know it is ok to duplicate Sherri. It does make sense to show duplicates as then we can all see how well a plant does over a range of areas , I hadn't thought of that . I have a few more to add here then

    This one below is Curly Rosy Posy

    DebbieON I had not seen Canadian Summer before . Any chance you can let me know where you found it ? It is a beauty! This whole "post your pics" thing is making my want list even longer than it is and it is not short believe me ! Claudine Charm, Cosmic Legacy and Catch a Wave have all been added as have Canadian Diamonds and Clown Parade .....assuming they can be found in Canada.

    Signet - I think Cobraskin Necktie's colors were due to a lack of rain and extreme heat. I got it the previous year, and last summer was the first time it bloomed. At first I thought it was the wrong plant. But the applique eye did show up faintly on a couple of blooms. Here are a couple of other photos. The second one makes it look more pink violet than purple.

    Thank you signet. I had checked that site and others plus books but I will need to measure the flowers next season since 4" seems smaller than mine. The scapes were in the 26-30" range and it flowered mid-season, late July/early August into late Aug. I was hoping to cross one off the ID list but measurements are in order first. Thanks again.
