DYNAMIC *D* daylilies 2017

I only have two D daylilies in my gardens. The first is Double Dazzler, it's been in my gardens for many years. It's a very neat double, I really like it.

Destined to See is next, an old favorite. Two different light exposures, the poly petal is a more accurate color here.

    Not much in way of D's but enjoying all your d's!

    Daveo Holeman. Nice but always short and not many buds.

    Do the Twist

    Daisy, A very off year for it, devoid of most of its color, very few buds. It's been moved too many times in recent years, but where it is it will stay. It should have some light lavender on it.

    Thanks for looking!

    Daddy's Heart is one of my favorite small ones. It is loaded with buds, sets seeds well, and reblooms.

    Deliberate Pace is another of Bob's flat yellows. It is quite a saturated color.

    Different Direction has a pretty blend of colors. The flower is quite large too.

    Dolly Wolly is new to the garden last year. It was a gift from the hybridizer.

    Dr Jules Michael Vinkman is one of my favorites. I am using it heavily in my red/white program.


    I am not sure that Dragon Knife is hardy but it sure is pretty.

    Dragon Pinata is new to the garden.

    Dynamite Brite has brilliant coloring.

    Nan: I've had Different Direction on my list for a few years now. Just can't find a rust free source. It sure is appealing to me. Has it been winter hardy for you? Also like Dynamite Brite alot........ Del: Darker Shade is supposed to a good one. Nice picture....Houstmag: What's the name on your first one?.......James: Have to agree with Brad. Dena Marie's Sister is a pretty color.........Looking forward to more to come......Maryl

    Beautiful every single one.

    Destined to See - we had a terrible drought so not at its best.

    Double river Wye - Love this pale but not washed out yellow, very similar color as your Double Dazzler Sherry.

    I believe this is dumortieri. If incorrect I will delete it.

  • 9 years ago

    peren.all, I like Double River Wye as well. It always delivers. James, you and I have a lot of the same lilies, I noticed. I really liked Dena Marie so much and it performed so well, I ordered her sister a couple of years ago. Nan, I like Different Direction also. May have to look for that one. Here are a few I found of mine.

    Old but so prolific.
    Duke Ellington, complete with matching garden shoe
    Down Home-big and beautiful. Also rebloomed all season.

    I'm actually kind of relieved that I don't have so many 'D's as I did (do) most of the other alphabet letters...lol. This time I will only need two installments.

    I see that almost everyone grows this one, and I know why.....

    Sherry- I am in Augusta, Georgia which is zone 8a, I think. I have a couple ruffled edges that occasionally hang, but for the most part they open fine. One that comes to mind is Dr. Carr's Wonder of it All. It hung up regularly this past year. Very disappointing when it does. I have quite a few of his registered daylilies and WOIA is the only one that hangs. I can't think of any full-formed ruffled diploids that hang up.

    Very nice D's! It's fun to see Destined to See grown well in many climates. I have that one too, but it didn't bloom last year. It's the first year ever that it didn't bloom at all.


    Dena Marie's Sister - usually far more floriferous than last year.


    The Dominator - large bloom and good rebloomer. I'll put it here instead of the T's because I don't have many d's.

    Dance Again - So far it has only danced once for me. I don't think it gets enough sun to rebloom.

    Desperado Love is always well branched and well budded.

    I am so sorry about the double posting. I had this problem once before and stopped posting pics until I checked with Houzz tech crew. Suggested I change browsers which I did but I see it just began double posting again. So irritating to me and to you too, I suspect!!! Even the tech guys in my office cannot explain this. It does keep me from posting more photos. Maybe I was just meant to be a lurker and looker!!

    Thanks, Debra. Unfortunately, I sometimes will post and walk away for a while only to come back and see that double posting. I delete one but perhaps I should just stay with it and be sure only one post goes through. One of my tech guys (of course young and genius) respectfully asked me if I was sure I wasn't "punching that green (submit) button twice"! He had to ask respectfully because I am his boss, but I knew what he was thinking!!!! Life is so funny sometimes....and I do try to meet it with a smile.....Sorry, I hijacked this beautiful thread. Loved seeing The Dominator again, Debra. And Celeste, that Dream Sequence is beautiful. Kate

    Among many, Davey Jones Locker and Do the Twist caught my eye. Many of the posthumous Moldovans are not well distributed, so one never knows why they seem to be ignored. I wonder how hardy Do the Twist is; one parent is Star of India, which does very well here. Since I am in pain tonight, l may have an excuse to make a detracting note, just in case lurkers want to rush out to get Dena Marie's Sister or Deliverer. Here, when they are good, they are very good, but so often they are splotchy. Both were horrible here this past year.

    Dena Marie's Sister is a color that thrips love. Since I've been dosing it with Bayer Rose and Flower Care in the Spring, the petals are pristine. It's such a striking color that always attracts a lot of attention from visitors - both the human and insect kind.

    Signet: Good eye on Dutch Yellow Truffle. I like the fact that it's colorfast given late PM shade. Were I to say anything negative it would be that sometimes, when our weather flips and flops, the scapes can be of uneven heights. Otherwise a very nice double (award winner to boot). .......Mantis: So sorry you are in pain. My best to you for a speedy recovery......Maryl

    Debbie--such lovely lilies. Do you grow some of yours in pots? I see some pots in the background. If so, you have great success! Your Diviner's Handbook looks so much better than other photos I have seen and certainly much better than the database!!! Striking colors on all. Kate

    sherrygirl zone5 N il thanked lilykate7a
  • 9 years ago

    lilykate, Yes, I grow alot of daylilies in pots, some have grown in the same pot for ten years (poor Delisa's Ruby Lips is one). I probably have at least a couple of hundred in pots at any given time, probably more. I am determined to close two large daylily beds this year, and hopefully clear a minimum of a hundred different varieties, mostly the older ones. Diviner's Handbook has always had nice colour here, maybe because I live in a more northern zone. People do like it when they see it. I had trouble with it often not opening as wide as I would like. I gave a piece to a friend who planted it in full sun, on top of a large hill, and it opens beautifully there, ten minutes drive away. Mine is in semi shade.

    Mantis - I look forward to seeing how Desire of Nations does for you. I like your photo of the blooms much better than the hybridizer's picture.

    I always admire photos of Darker Shade. I thought I had bought it years ago, but what I received turned out to be something quite different.

    Forgot this one. Opens early so edges tend to snag and hang but really striking when you get blooms like this. (Although one edge has a little damage, I see!!!!)

    sherrygirl zone5 N il thanked lilykate7a
  • 9 years ago

    DebbieOn , Diviner's Handbook is another droolable daylily to me ! I am partial to purples and my eye always seems drawn to them . I have in the past headed to a nursery with purchase of purple daylilies in mind and when I get there I end up coming home with yellows . Go Figure ......not sure why that happens . The easiest thing for me to do when it comes to purple daylilies is to order them online LOL ! I wonder does this happen to anyone else or is it just me ?

    Davy Jones Locker and Don Herrell are delicious looking . Desire of Nations too but I bet if I went to a nursery I would end up coming home with Dena Marie's Sister or Dance Again . It just seems to be the way I work LOL !
