B daylilies 2020

6 years ago
last modified: 6 years ago

It’s time to see your B daylilies. I’m going to list my favorites first and maybe add more later. Today’s quote is from Betty White, it made me smile: “ Facebook just sounds like a drag, in my day seeing pictures of people’s vacations was considered punishment.”


Banshee Whisper was a bonus plant I love, it’s a great grower.


Baby Blue Eyes, another great bonus plant.


Blue Beetle , I’m hoping for a leap year.


Boy Crazy has had to deal with my abuse, I’ve moved it three time and promised not to move it any more, hoping it leaps.


I wanted a White with a yellow edge, picked Buzz Saw.I’m glad I chose this one, love it.


I had to move Bluegrass Memories out of full sun. It benefitted from some shade, the blooms held up great after the move.

    Leave it to Betty White to say what many of us have on our minds about Facebook. I don't do it, and miss some of the vendors (eg: Blueridge) that use it almost exclusively now. A shame for them and me really............As to your daylilies Sherry: Those Bonus plants look lovely. I've gotten some of my prize daylilies originally as bonus plants. One I got last year was Buzz Saw. White is my least favorite color, so I thought it would be gifted out when fall rolled around. But when the first bloom opened it was a nice yellow color before fading to almost white with yellow fringe. It managed to avoid the fall give away as it was just so pretty. Bluegrass Memories always is intriguing although those color tones usually turn rather "rancid" in my heat. ......................Maryl

    Love Betty White. I do have a Facebook acct, but rarely check it. Such a nice group Sherry, I especially like the UFs. Buzz Saw sounds interesting, but I have several similar look that do really well. Need to get rid of a couple, but I hate to get rid of good bloomers.

    Sherry, I love both of your UFs. Nancy, nice picture of Bali in poly.

    My wife and I have a joint facebook account that we use a lot, which helps us keep in touch with relatives and friends who don't live near, which is a lot. I agree that FB can be annoying, but I've cut down on that. I have FB Purity installed in my browsers. It blocks ALL ads and anything else I choose. When you look at mine, it is mostly blank space around the feed, plus just a couple things like today's birthdays.

    Bali Watercolor. It has been shorter and less budded for a few years now. I even gave it fresh soil, etc. Still nice to have.

    BTW, no limit to how many blooms you post, let’s see them all!

    Brad, Brave World Cup looks intriguing. This season I hope you post a close photo of a bloom.

    Nancy, Butterfly Moon looks interesting, those two blooms have small differences. Born to Run is lovely.

    I have been a Betty White fan forever. No Facebook for me, I think I’m in a minority.

    Brad, Bali Water color has never been a heavy bloomer for me, I may try moving it. It does poly a lot. I have Brave World too, it never had more than 5 or 6 buds per scape til I moved it and its buddy Arkansas Post. I always thought they looked nice together. Both have bloomed heavily since then, even though they are just a few feet from the original spot. Still full sun, the soil has a bit of clay where it us now. Sherry, i love Butterfly Moon. The 1st 2 or 3 years it bloomed there was little pattern to it, but seems to be more every year. Flowers do vary a bit in the look, which I love. Just makes it hard to decide which pictures to keep because they are different.

    Love Bold Vision and B. Slim Pickin.

    Personally, I love Facebook, but I only use it for daylily things. I never post personal items and I don't friend many people. We do maintain a page for our garden and I post pictures of flowers there. In many ways I think Facebook has made it easier for daylily people to connect with one other and share ideas.


    There are lots of beautiful B's here. My eye is drawn to Bullfrog Kisses. Ours died but the picture makes me want to try it again. I am also drawn to Bengali. We have that one but haven't seen it bloom yet. I hope it makes it through our winter.


    We have a lot of B's, but I will post only the ones we got pictures of this season.


    Buddy's Betsy always vies with Lava Flow to be the first to open in our garden.


    We like Bass Gibson so much we have two of them (and to get more seeds).


    Bob really likes Belief in Vein, but I am not a fan. It is, however, a great grower.


    Bite Me is another early bloomer and it has done well for a southern.


    We lost Bites Like a Thousand Teeth once, but had to try it again. We saw this blooming in the hybridizer's garden in Florida and it was glorious.


    Black Velvet Baby is a wonderful grower with a great bud count. It is a small flower.


    I bet you could guess that Bob picked Bob Marley.


    I know I always sing the praises of Bodacious Bite, but it is a great daylily. It never has a "bad hair day" and it sets seeds well. It should be more widely grown.


    Bonibrae Cotton Candy Swirls was a bonus plant. I like the delicate coloring and the interesting shape.


    I'll post the rest in the next comment.

    Brad: I like bold colors, so Bittersweet Holiday and your clump of Brave World stand out..........Nancy: Border Crossing stands out too with that vivid pattern......Nan: The edge on Bites like a Thousand teeth is eye catching. I see why you replaced it. I don't replace too many of mine that wimp out, but I do have one that I will buy again for the 3rd time this year. Naturally, I don't count that as cheating on my resolution to hold my list way way down. After all it's not new - lol...............Debra: Betty Bush is one of my favorites of yours. Is the base color red or deep rose?...............Signet: I like the colors on Black Arrowhead. Unique....................Maryl

    Broadway Player is an excellent small-flowered daylily.


    Boxcar Lifestyle makes quite a display.


    Buddy's Angel Baby was new last year. I hope it is hardy enough for our garden. It is a miniature diploid.


    Buddy's Pinkie bloomed on a leftover scape from the previous year. It will be interesting to see what it does when it gets established.


    Buddy's Wild and Wonderful does well here.


    Burning the Midnight Oil has colors I love.


    This picture comes from 2018, but I had to post But Wait, There's More. It's a great grower and the later flowers are often double. That's Mary's Baby in the background.


    Buzz Saw likes its new location better than the previous one.


    That's all for me.

    H. Nancy, my favorite of your is Bonibrae Cotton Candy Swirls, what a great bonus!

    Debra, I have such a hard time picking my favorites from your selection every time. Baja California and Busy Being Fabulous are Mine today. Hmmmm, I didn’t pink pink or purple this time, usually do.

    Signet, Bobbie Martin and Bluebird Sky are my favorites of yours. It’s easy to understand why B Martin is one of your favs.

    H. Nan, it’s easy to see why you posted But Wait, There’s More, what a clump!

    Maryl - Betty Bush is rose red - more red than pink.


    Debra

  • 6 years ago

    Beautiful B lilies! Sherry, Banshee Whisper was a pretty bonus! I hope this is leap year for my Blue Beetle, too. Mine has never doubled, has yours? Heather, Bluebird Sky is so pretty! Debra, Blazing Saddles always catches my eye! I also like Nan’s But Wait There’s More and so many others on here!!

    here are just a few of mine.

    Blue Dolphin-first year

    Bold Symphony-fabulous performer

    Bridgeton Entertainment-I think the color is muddy-most of it was passed on to another garden this summer

    Bullfrog Kisses-was outstanding this year-rebloomed several times

    Brutus-just a great performing older lily

    Lilykate, such a great clump of Butterfly Moon! Bela Lugosi is great, Mine is fairly new here, waiting for a clump shot like yours. No doubles on Blue Beetle here, got one extra ruffly petal on one bloom last season.

  • 6 years ago

    Raining today so I have been checking back often. So many lovely daylilies! Love Betty Bush, Bow Tie Affair and Buddy's Victoria Jade. Signet, Buttercream catches my eye every time I see it. Yellow is not really my color, but the form looks nice and it seems to have lots of blooms for you. Nancy, I have admired But Wait, There's More also, it makes such a nice clump. I like Bass Gibson too. Kate, you have a great clump of Butterfly Moon! Mine is not that big yet. I shared it some, and I think it is just a bit slower grower here. I look forward to having such a nice clump.

    Signet, am on my phone and have a hard time typing sometimes. Between me and autocorrect I can barely read what I type sometimes! No offence takes at all!

    There is not one I would not like to grow starting with Banshee Whisperer on down! Sherry you probably don't remember what you ordered when you received it as a bonus but what a bonus! I don't do FB either so I am in the minority with you.

    Bela Lugosi

    Big Time Happy

    Black Arrowhead - I love it too signet. I planted it last summer and hope it blooms.

    Blue Sheen

    Blueberry Candy

    Bonanza - such an old timer but I still think it has a simple charm.

    Maryl, I wish you had room for Bold Symphony also!! Last season was its leap year and I was not disappointed. The picture I posted shows it slightly darker than it actually is but it has a thick substance and holds color and form well in my hot and humid summer. Here is another picture showing that form.

    This color is also closer to actual color in my garden.

    Laurie , glad to see you back on the daylily forum. I too like the tailored look of Bonanza and grow it here too. Big Time Happy is a great looking daylily too,. Looks like a huge bloom and I love the soft lemon color , hadn't seen that one before either , thanks for sharing that image. . .

  • 6 years ago

    Celeste: You do purples so well. Your Buzzer Beater has that greyed lavender/purple color that always gets my attention. Gosh only knows what that color would be in my heat, but it's very complex in your picture. The oldie Buttered Popcorn still deserves a second look. So bright and bold...........NAN: I have to say I am impressed with But Wait There's More. Looks great with Mary's Baby as an accent.............Debra: Bubble Yummin Moma is sure strutting her stuff.............Maryl

    Thanks Heather! Big Time Happy does seem to have larger flowers than the 4" description.

  • 6 years ago

    Celeste , your images are fantastic. So many very very nice daylilies .I am gobsmacked by your image of Buzzer Beater but when I checked the images on NGA seems your images are the only ones that show a purple Buzzer Beater ( guessing this is your soil causing the outstanding purple ....perhaps more acidic than most soil ? ) Everyone else's images show more of a burgundy color . So unless I was growing in your conditions , unfortunately, this is not one I would choose for my gardens because our soil is so alkaline . I would , I think, just be big time disappointed in the color that the plant would manifest here . Are purples like hydrangeas that change color with the soil composition ?


    My fav out of all your images is Balalaika followed by Bird Talk.!


    Maryl .Am I missing something ? I did not see a daylily called But Wait there is More?

    signet, I have only seen Buzzer Beater 'in person' so I have only seen it purple and there isn't a trace of red in mine....but I did notice when I posted my photos that the others were not purple. It has to be my soil and that's the only explanation I have. It is one of many cultivars that are clearly purple in my garden, whereas in other places they are not. Purples are my passion so this makes me very happy! Wish I could send you some of my soil so you could get a purple BB too!!!


    I found a few more 'B's I missed, since Sherry politely allowed me to go for it.
