O daylilies 2020

Please show us your O daylilies today. The quote for today is: “ If you think nobody’s cares that you are alive, try missing a couple of payments!”

Orchid Corsage, a favorite late blooming oldie.


Orange Smoothie has great color. It got off to an awful start here, did better last season. I’m hoping for a better performance again this year. I DO want to keep it.

Olfactory Evidence was a very recent addition here, first blooms this past season. I added to extend the season, it’s a late bloomer.

    I really like all 3 of these, especially Orange Smoothie. I moved Orchid Corsage last spring and it did not miss a beat.

    I have shown this photo of Off Beat several times. It took a couple of years to take off like this, but has done really well since I moved it. I think I had it too close to a shrub before


    Oktoberfest is a great plant


    Orange Velvet, another great one I would not be without. Hard to believe how wonderful it is unless you see it in person

    Nice photos everyone.

    Olallie Autumn Gold, an extra-late one.

    Orange Velvet

    Orchid Corsage

    That's all for me.

    Love the Orchid Corsage photos, I hope we see more!

    Nancy, I’m glad Off Beat took off for you, it’s lovely.

    Brad, love the subtle color on the first photo of Orange Velvet, an apt description of the bloom.

    Maryl, what a twofer! I hope my Orange Smoothie grows up to look like yours

    Everyone’s Orchid Corsage pics are so pretty. I had that one years ago, lost it to voles, thinking I might need it again!! Nancy, love that clump of Off Beat. Orange Jade has such intense color. Brad, your Orange Velvet has a lot of colors going on

    And one more.

    Oktoberfest is a great flower. We have grown it here for many years. Here is our picture of it.



    Off to See the Wizard is probably more purple in this photo than it actually is.


    Old Time Memories is a large flower.


    One for the Road is a good grower here though not my favorite color.


    I would like to use One Hot Mama is breeding but so far have not gotten it to set seed. I'll have to try its pollen this season.


    One More Bud is new to the garden. Bob and I are beginning to add more diploid ufs.


    I like the color on Orange Angel.


    More to come . . .

    Orchids for Minnie is one that is relatively hard to find.


    Osiyo! is a club plant that goes back this year. We have to decide if we are keeping it or not. It's a good grower, but I don't love the color. It is amazing that Bob is willing to get rid of some orange daylilies. We just have to bring our numbers down.


    Overnight Flight is not a very big flower (4.5 inches) on a vigorous plant.


    That's all for me.

    On Silken Thread is a old favourite daylily . Been here a long time .

    Love Old Time Memories It catches your eye in the gardens and photos don't really do it justice .

    Ocean Rain is one color on one day and

    a different color on another . Have no idea why .

    All the oranges catch my eye. I saw Old Time Memories at a daylily show long ago and fell in love. It's color doesn't hold up too well in our heat unfortunately, but it's still one of my favorite UFs. Ocean Spirit is another UF that has drawn my attention for awhile. Like the pattern and colors quite a bit......Nan: I like those sunset colors on the Dale Hensley daylily Osiyo. Generally I like his daylilies. That's a much better picture of it then is on the data base. I vote to give it another year (lol).....................Maryl

    Orangutan needs more sun I think

    Oddball has been here a long time too

    Ojo de Dios is a Ned Roberts daylily

    Sure wish I knew the real name of this dayliliy . I call it "Old Red Velvet" It has been here probably 15 years . Never knew the name but people who see it are always touching the blooms as they really do resemble red velvet. I think they are checking to see if it is real .

    Heather, your Old Red Velvet is probably Red Volunteer.

    Osterized is a huge bloom here .

    Odds and Ends is a lovely lavender

    One of my fav's .....this is Olive's Odd One

    This was the first bloom I have ever seen on Origin Stories ......a new addition to the gardens .

    I had fun comparing Celeste's and Debra's Olly Olly Oxen Free. So different and both so pretty!

    Hi Brad , thanks for the suggestion of Red Volunteer but I grow Red Volunteer here and these two plants are not alike at all

    Great photos! Sherry, I was going to say, i got Olfactory Evidence in the fall for the same reason you did, to extend the season. And I planted it near my back door. Did you notice a fragrance?

    sherrygirl zone5 N il thanked Nancy 6b
  • 6 years ago

    Nancy, unfortunately I didn’t notice the fragrance on the few blooms I had. Thanks for the heads up, I will definitely check it out this season!

    Sherry - When we had those really cool temps last year, Olly Olly looked more Celeste's. But the picture I posted is how it normally looks here. Cool night temps definitely influence the purple colors.

    Debra, that clump shot of Open Door is fabulous!

    sherrygirl zone5 N il thanked lilykate7a
  • 6 years ago

    I really love Olly but the only thing I would change is to make it taller. It's not short but certainly with such big blooms it could use more height in my opinion. It didn't help that I planted it in front of my skyscraper 'Happy is the Heart' which is 5 feet tall!


    sherrygirl zone5 N il thanked celeste/NH
  • 6 years ago

    Celeste - I agree Olly would be better if taller. Mine has never made it to the registered height, It's only about 28 inches tall here. It will get more sun this year, so I hope it will attain the 33 inch height.

    Debra, my jaw dropped when I saw your pic of Open Door . WOW! That one sure is a beauty .
