Miniatures - Pictures please

9 years ago

Hi All,

I'm looking for some interesting miniature daylilies for a new garden project. I am a fan of UF's and have Little Lemon Twist, Roswitha (double) and Back to Black currently.

So please add pictures and size, I'm looking for 3.5 inch or smaller.

Thanks.

Little Lemon Twist

Roswitha

Back to Black

Forgot about Deja Blu ...

    I grow many miniatures and small flowered ones, but most of mine would not be considered uf's. You could do a search in the American Hemerocallis Database. There is a way to put in your specifications to find just what you are looking for.

    Then you just have to tract them down.

    sorry did not understand that you were looking only for UF's

    I'm not only looking for UF's ... I'm looking for interesting mini's. And yes, I can search the AHS site, but I was hoping to see your pictures and not the hybridizer's best shots. I used to have Gizmo!

    Hi, Pam, I am wondering about your zone. Last year I ordered small flowered daylilies from Grace Gardens of Seneca, New York. I bought a couple of Salters--which they said did not grow well for them, --but turned fine for me, and there were others which I will post.


    Little Rainbow--(Reckamp)--love this little polychrome.


    Little Witching Hour (Salter)--lovely small flower with good pattern.

    Orchid Flounce (Byrum Parsons) bought from O'Bannon Springs Daylilies--sent as bonus and it is a very good daylily, currently putting up four rebloom scapes in our heat.


    Green Flutter (Williamson) excellent greenish-yellow, really shows up.


    WB So Blue Without Teresa--a real favorite


    Alpine Mist (Salter)-not a good picture, does not show how blue the eye zone looks.


    Night Dreams (Stamile) did really well for us this year.


    Dragon Dreams (Salter) much prettier than this.


    Everybody Loves Earnest (Herrington) a true mini and much more orange than shown.

    Thanks avedon_gw , I know Tom & Kathy from Grace Gardens! I used to have a farm that was wide open to the elements like they are, but now live in a more protected suburb. And I used to have a few of those you showed, but forgot about them. Thanks!

    Pam, you might want to take a look at Herrington's Baby Kong. That's a real interesting looking small UF. Steve Williams of O'Bannon Springs is doing work on minis and spidery minis--you can check them out on his website, might be of interest. I loved your Mystic Meadows farm, such a beautiful place.
