L daylilies 2020

6 years ago
last modified: 6 years ago

Today is the day for L daylilies. Now, the quote of the day: “Whoever said “out of sight, out of mind” never had a spider disappear in their bedroom”.


Lavender Stardust is a later blooming daylily that has done very well.


Laura Harwood is another good performer here.


Lavender Heartthrob got moved in 2018, didn’t have a great season after the move.


La Belle Dame had languished here. I moved it in 2018, it did marvelously this past summer.


Lovely Miss Laucious has been here two unimpressive seasons. This one got moved to a better spot, hope it does better this season.


Lollipop Kisses is a bright spot in the garden. It was a bonus I probably wouldn’t have chosen. I like it, it’s staying.


Little Showman a great small plant growing in less than ideal circumstance.

    Sherry: LOL on your saying. Ditto on a mouse. My Avatar Yardley passed away a few years ago and he was my mouser. Boy, do I miss him..........You have some sweet "L"s Sherry. I love the lavenders in particular.......Heather: I'm confused. What is the name of your orange one?.................I have two L's to contribute:

    I've seen this one so many times that I finally broke down and added it to my collection last year. We will see how she does this year:

    LINDA SIERRA:


    Here's one of my top 3 favorite colors; colorfast yellow. Had a stellar year in 2019:

    I got Laura Harwood last fall, I hope it does well here. I have always loved the look of it and the pictures here are just what I love about it. Love your Lavenders Sherry, you have better photos of them than I do. Maryl, not a huge fan of yellows but I like the look of your Lisa Apps Sybrandt, looks like a great plant.

    Lady America, an oldie that has been doing exceptionally well the last few years. I was planning on it leaving here, but it has just bloomed too well to go.


    Lady Neva, always a good plant


    Land of Cotton


    Last Reward is pretty and a very late bloomer, but not many blooms



    Lavender Cascades


    Lavender Deal, another oldie that blooms well, but for a short time. While it is in bloom though, it makes a great show


    Lavender Heartthrob has been a really good plant in the time I have had it



    Lavender Stardust


    Lemon Crinkles is a late blooming nice soft yellow


    Levi Davis, my best photo of this is MIA, this was ;taken at 6 in the morning

    Sherry, I totally agree with your quote! Hate spiders and just knowing they are present gives me chills. A sad statement for a gardener.

    Light of the World. Wonder if I have the correct photo for this one, it looks a deeper color than I remember, but I do remember it being in front of a hosta


    Lime Frost is almost white. Supposed to be a late bloomer, but not so much for me


    Linda Beck, fairly new one that I love


    Lip Smack, wish I could find the clump photo of this one, it always has lots of blooms


    Little Audrey is a small flowered one that blooms very early and continues til mid summer most years, and has rebloomed even though I don't think it is listed as a rebloomer


    Little Bumblebee is my smallest flower, I don't care for small flowers too much but this blooms well and often reblooms. Not a registered plant


    Little Light of Mine, Kay was good to send this one to me after I lost mine to critters.


    Lonesome Heart


    Lord of Rings


    Lotus Position


    Lounge Lizard. I moved this one last year and it did not get as tall or bloom as well as usual, but one of my favorites

    I wouldn't waste my money on Laughing Clown . This one has just been a big disappointment Always Splotchy! I got it for its bitone potential but it just always looks icky.


    I am going to move it this year in hopes of improvement but if not ........out she goes.

    I am the odd one out here because I like spiders, mice not so much.

    So many lovelies here. Good to hear Laura Harwood does well, it is very attractive, they all are.

    Lavender Blue Baby not showing great colouration in a pot on it's 1st year. I hope it does well in the garden.

    Little Missy - a late day pic. I will move & divide it this year hopefully but it just isn't that great and never has been.
    Little Wine Cup always produces plenty of blooms throughout the season.

    Luxury Lace is such an oldie but I like the colour.

    Maryl, I really like your Lisa Apps Sybrandt, it looks like a marvelous plant. It looks like you have room for more daylilies (hint, hint). LOL

    Heather Laura looks great in your garden. Your Lavender Heartthrob is such a nice clump, still waiting for one that nice here.

    Nancy, so many nice Ls, my favorite is Lonesome Heart, such a delicate beauty. Your photos reminded me I have a couple I didn’t post.

    Laurie, another glorious clump! I can’t seem to leave many alone here to get that big.

    Sherry

  • 6 years ago

    I agree with peren.all. I am more concerned about the mice. As long as the spider is not a brown recluse.


    I have a lot of L's.


    Lillian's Regal Robe, which is an offspring of Tet. Indian Giver, is superior to Indian Giver in my experience.


    Lovin' Up a Storm was a gift plant. It's not my type or color, but it did put on a show last season.


    I like Love All Serve All. It's tall and fertile.

    Lotus Position put out some nice flowers last season.



    Lori is not well known. It's not very tall, but it produces these lovely flowers with such broad petals and sepals. It was a bonus plant.


    Last summer was the first bloom for Lincoln Andres. I'm not sure if I like this one or not.

    Lillian's Thin Ice made some lovely blooms for us last season.



    More to come . . .

    As a child, I collected spiders in a jar! The small ones that live in corners. That said, I still don't want a spider in the bedroom.

    Lavender Stardust is the most outstanding one to me of all that is posted, Nancy, I love Lillian's Regal Robe and Lori. Great colors.

    Labyrinth duo, new this year. So pretty.

    Lake Norman Spider

    Laura Harwood, first year here

    Lavender Dew

    Lavender Frost

    Liberty Banner, first year. It was short and low on buds, but absolutely beautiful. Thanks Celeste! It is already a favorite. Can't wait for it to really get going this year.

    Lily and Petals

    Lord Chamberlain

    Loch Ness Monster.

    That's all for me.

    As far as spiders go, I hate them in my house. I’ve become fascinated watching those big garden spiders I find in my gardens in August. I look for them so I don’t disturb the huge webs, that would be icky.

    I moved L. Cheese and Wine. It wasn’t happy, I’m hoping it settles in this season.
    Lord of Rings has been a slow grower. It’s not in an ideal spot.
    Kay shared Little Light of Mine with me. It’s getting established here.

    Bob bought Lights of Detroit for breeding, but so far we have gotten anything out of it. Richard Norris used this one to prominently in his flat-faced diploid line.


    In our cooler than normal temperatures at the beginning of last season, Lighter Than Air bloomed with a little more color than usual. Sometimes it is more tan. We got this one by mistake and I identified it by looking through the seller's complete catalog.


    Light Forbes was one I picked up cheap for Bob since he likes orange so much. He loves it.


    Liberty for All is one of the few true spiders we have.


    Let's Dance Tonight is a southern bred daylily (from Greg Goff) that does very well for us. It's very fertile too, so we have a lot of seedlings from it also.


    Lemon Meringue Pie is a good grower, but we have too many yellows so it will leave this spring.


    Lava Flow is a favorite for several reasons. It is one of the first to bloom every season (even though it is not registered as extra early or even early). Buddy's Betsy beat it last season though. Also, the color is amazing. It was my first purchase from the Lily Auction so I guess it's the cause of my obsession.

    More to come . . .

    Laurelwood's Ankle Biter is one of my favorite small-flowered ones. Technically, it's a large flower (4.5 inches), but it seems smaller in our garden. I am using it in hopes of getting small-flowered tets with teeth.


    Lahaina is an old tetraploid. Bob loves collecting some of the historic varieties, but we just don't have room for them, so this will will go this spring.


    I saved all of the small-flowered ones for last. This is one of my favorites--Lillian's Tears and Roses.


    I think the color on Little Donny Darko is a bit dull, but I love the shape and the gracefulness of the scapes.


    Little Man Tait is a tetraploid small-flowered daylily from Canada.


    I can't get a good picture of Little Red Dumples. It has a velvety blackish overlay that the camera just can't pick up. This was a bonus plant that I was sure we would get rid of, but now I love it. It is a true miniature and the little scapes can be branched like trees.


    Luscious Kiss was new last season and spent the summer in a pot. It performed amazingly. I am so happy with this one. And, lucky me, it was a bonus with an order to Northern Lights Daylilies.

    Little Summer Star is relatively new to the garden so the jury's still out on its performance


    That's all for me.

    Sherry - Lovely Miss Lauscioius is so pretty! I hope it performs better in its new spot.

    Signet - Laura Harwood is one I never added because I have another late bloomer that looks so similar. Yours is gorgeous!

    Maryl - I like your sunfast yellow!

    Nancy - Lonesome Heart is my favorite of yours today.

    Hoosier Nan - Laurelwood's Ankle Biter always grabs me. The teeth and the pink coloration make it a winner.

    Brad - Lake Norman Spider has such great color and watermark that it never goes out of style.

    Brad, Liberty Banner started out slow for me when I first got it. I think it took about 3 years before it started showing off. It will get there!

    Too many nice ones to mention everyone's so just a few to keep things short............Kate: Labyrinth looks good....Celeste: Longlesson Summer Gift is a remarkable clump shot........Deborah: Lyrical Presence is a simple pink that I find enchanting. If I only had more room, I could fill it with all the pinks, oranges and yellows I love...........Speaking of pinks; Nan: It's a good thing that Laurelwood's Ankle Biter isn't easily available or I might just have to have it. I was thinking just the other day what was the name of that small flowered daylily you posted last season that so intrigued me and this is it. The orange Lori is another attention getter for me.

    Sherry - Lime Peel is in a bad place now that gets too much shade. It's never multiplied much, but maybe I can move it to a better place this year. The bloom is large and pretty. Lake Tahoe Autumn doesn't open well until it's really hot, and it often splotches, so I don't have any clump shots. When it has five or six blooms, only a couple of them are photogenic.

    My nemesis in the gardens are the spiders. Sort of like Brad ,I used to catch things in a jar. I used to go berry picking with my grandmother . I carried a jar to collect the berries. There were many times the berries got tossed in order to collect a field mouse and bring it home

    I have always liked mice but spiders are a different story ,especially those big ugly multicolored ones in the gardens with the horribly strong web. I once needed to get rid of one of those to access one of my gardens . I didn't have any bug spray so I sprayed it with oven cleaner ( twice ) That stuff didn't bother it at all. I ultimately resorted to two pieces of two by four ....no way was I risking this humungous 8 legged beast anywhere near me . . Blech!!!!!!!!!! Worst of all it didn't even rain after getting rid of the darn thing .(so much for that old wives tale!)

    Sherry Lovely Miss Laucious ......wow! What does the L stand for on your L. Cheese and Wine image .....omg that one is a real looker !

    MaryL ....love Lisa Apps Sybrandt . One I definitely hadn't heard of before .

    Nancy 6b Lavender Deal clump is impressives and Levi Davis is one I have been interested in for a while but I keep seeing different images of it and they are all different colors. I thought Levi Davis was supposed to be peach or apricot with purple ? Linda Beck really caught my eye.

    Hoosier_nan . Labrynth is my 1st choice from your images but Lovin' Up a Storm shouts "Look at Me , look at Me" Love it ! and Lemon Meringue Pie is a beauty

    Brad , three of yours grabbed me , Liberty Banner , Labyrinth , and Lord Chamberlain . Your purples are really lovely .

    Peren.all that Little Missy Clump is spectacular !

    Shive ....your clump shots are marvelous .

    LilyKate Again Labyrinth jumped out at me again. Gonna have to track that one down. I am liking Lame Duck too .


    Celeste ......too many to comment on but as usual your purples are sensational .

    Heather, I like the look of Levi Davis, but so far I can't say much about the performance. It took a couple of years to bloom, it had bloomed the last couple of years, but not abundantly. It has only increased by one fan. Celeste sent it to me, and I see she still has hers, so not too far north to do well. Maybe I just need to move it.

    Heather, the L is Longfields. I’m guessing this company paid for the rights to sell Cheese and Wine. I purchased it at a local nursery a few years ago. It was a great grower til I moved it.

  • 6 years ago

    Liberty Banner sure looks good in Celeste and Brad's gardens. I'm looking forward to seeing blooms on mine next season. Labryinth really calls to me. I bought it last fall, but what arrived had gone mostly dormant. I don't know if it will survive.
