Another Small Flower Added Plus LA Win

8 years ago

Tidewater Pixie arrived Friday and is now in the ground. This came from Shady Rest Gardens in GA. Also, a bonus plant was sent, Hot And Hip which is going to be different from the other purple/lavender types because of the color, an orange with red edging and red eyezone. I did take a chance on the Lily Auction and much to my amazement, I was high bidder on Meme's Garden Party which is a beautiful orange polychrome. I love polychromes, only have a few and it's so exciting to me to add this one. There is a good picture of this one on the AHS data base.

The picture of Meme's Garden Party on the database shows it to be beautiful and right up my alley. I haven't trialed any Douglas daylilies as they aren't readily available from my rust free vendors. I'll be interested in how this one does, especially if it is colorfast with that delicate coloration. Lots of new ones to see from you this year. Did you loose many over winter?......Maryl

Maryl, Meme's Garden Party is coming from a seller in Indiana, and because of the extended cold weather there, probably won't be shipped until first week of May or later. I am hoping that this means no rust, and since we had some very cold temps here this winter, I am hoping all the rust has been killed. However, bringing in new ones from the south is dicey, so it's possible rust will occur sometime. We will just have to deal with it the best we can. Yes, we have quite a few new ones, but so far have lost nothing and nearly all the daylilies are looking really good right now.

Excellent, Avedon. Can't wait to see the blooms, I went for one on the lily auction which is a Davisson and will be coming from New York. Great Auntie Picklebottom. We will see how it does, but I have liked all of them and am excited to have a beautiful clump of Mean Green thanks to Julia.

Congrats, Kay, on the Davissons you have. I always loved Mean Green and a lot of Judi's, but they won't grow for me, so I have to admire everybody else's flowers. I just did something crazy, TwixandDud on NGA just put up a long list of DLS for sell, and I am getting Navajo Pony and Reindeer Antlers from her, probably will arrive in May because they are coming from Michigan. I must stop looking at DLS for sale :)!

I got Navajo Pony last spring from Twixanddud, it bloomed last year and came back nicely this year. I just ordered several more. I wanted all her Davisson ones, Mean Green was one. Decided I should make sure the one I got does well for me. I may regret it. I got HIGH water Mark, Lillian's Vapor Trail, Black Falcon Ritual, Two Sues, and a few others.

We have Lillian's Vapor Trail, it has at least seven scapes on it , Black Falcon Ritual does well, no scapes yet, BUT our new from last year Two Sues has one scape and could be putting on another as I type--it was so good last fall, bloomed a lot. Hope all of these do well for you.
