J daylilies 2021

It’s Monday, it’s J daylily day.


Funny quote for today: “When I die, I want to die like my grandfather who died peacefully in his sleep, not screaming like all the passengers in his car.”

Jolyene Nichole a good small daylily here.

Joan Derifield is still getting established here.

Thats all for me.

    Boy Sherry. Not only are you funny, but your two daylilies are gorgeous. Great shots. The petal structure is so clear. Marvelous daylilies, great pictures.........I'll give a shot of my two J's.

    The white I judge all other white daylilies by - JOAN SENIOR:


    Next is an oddity of a new for me daylily Jerry Murphy. Is this a fused blossom or a poly? Hummmmmmm:

    Maryl, what an odd bloom on a lovely daylily. It will be interesting to see what our experts here think about this. Are you camparing Joan Senior to others because of its pure white color, or performance, or both?

    Sherry, I like you funny thought got the day. Jolyene Nichole is such a pretty one, and Maryl, that orange is such a gorgeous color; I would be hoping for poly since I always enjoy them.

    I have a few Js, but not too many Journey of Magic is a new one and I like the promise of it:



    Judge Judy: with clematis:



    Jellyroll Morton: Love this one bu prettier after the sepals curve

    Sherry - Funny quote and two beautiful J's!

    Maryl - Your orange flower is a fused bloom. They sort of like Siamese twins.

    kay - My favorite of yours is Jellyroll Morton.


    I tried to post this morning, but the photos wouldn't go through. I'll try again later.

    I had to post Jellyroll Jealousy twice today and thought I would have to go the third time, Debra, since only the typing shoewed twice, but when I exited and then opened it again, the photo was there too. Houzz is a trip.

    Jack's Mischief was new last spring, but still produced some lovely blooms.


    I am not sure that Jammin's Lipstick Kisses is hardy enough for our garden, but it was nice last season.


    Jerry Hyatt has not done very well for us.


    Jovial Ancestors is a vigorous plant with so so flowers.


    Jungle Fury has nice flowers, but the plant is on the small side.


    The flowers of Just Like Candy were very impressive last season.


    That's all for me.

    Sherry Jocelyn Nicole & Joan Derifield are beauties! I thought you had Joan Senior too. Dark humor, at least Grandpa died peacefully lol!

    Maryl that is quite the bloom on Jerry Murphy. Was it the only fused bloom?

    Kay they are all lovely but I like Jellyroll Morton. Jellyfish Jealousy has very delicate colouring and I like it too.

    Only one J

    Janice Brown is a great performer and the last two pics are the normal colouring.

    We must have been posting at the same time Nancy. Pity Jerry Hyatt has not done well for you because it is very nice. I do also love the colour of Jungle Fury.

    These are the J's in my garden:


    Jane Trimmer was new two years ago, but the grubs got to it, and it just bloomed last season. Scapes were short and I was surprised the petals didn't show any of the lavender color they're supposed to have.



    Jeanne Deaver's Dream had better bud count than it's had in years. The blooms always open well here and seldom have any spotting.



    Joan Derifield



    Judy's Jewel is a pretty one. I moved it last year to see if it would increase better.



    Julie Newmar was finally its registered height of 32 inches (all but one scape). In the past, it's been about 25 inches high. Now I know that's because grubs were eating on the roots for years.



    Jungle Queen performs well for an evergreen.



    Jurassic Pink was a gift that I used to hybridize with, but it's usually splotchy so it may not stay around too long. It is a very tall pink with very large blooms.

    John Karl Seager. Nice cultivar. Would look even nicer if those blooms were the size of many Davissons.


    Joshua Slocum --shorter plant with blooms around 5". Good color.


    Jackie Canner. Very rich color and has established well. 6.5 inches


    Jerry Hyatt. Surprised that Hoosier Nan has had problems with this one. Takes a little while to establish, but quite vigorous.


    Jellyroll Morton. Good height, color, vigor.


    Just Like Candy. I would like better in a larger flower with better bud count.


    Joe the Plumber. Excellent plant scape. Blooms ML in orchid shades


    Jungle Jack Joiner has done well here.


    Jane Trimmer has been off and on. Last couple of seasons has had renewed vigor, but yes, last year I don't remember any lavender shade in the base color.


    Jim's Song is a reliable early-blooming red.


    Jessica Lynn Bell last season had shorter scapes than before (though not in foliage). Not clear whether it is a one-season matter or whether it is beginning a decline that some evergreens go through.


    Jan Zoo is a later bloomer with striking orange-red blooms.

    My knowledge with evergreen daylilies is limited. Mantis just mentioned decline in some evergreens, what happens and do they die?

    Question....... I have have Lee’s Loss in my garden for several years, it did well. It didn’t bloom two seasons ago, last season again no blooms but added seven fans that stayed small. I’m just not sure what to do with it. The blooms are lovely and the last season it did bloom I had a rebloom scape. The fans looked healthy.

    Mantis - That's a beautiful shot of John Karl Seager. Joshua Slocum and Jellyroll Morton are really nice too. I wonder why our Jane Trimmer's don't have the lavender petals. Did you get yours from Laura too?

    I have had Jane Trimmer for many years. In my earlier pictures, it had more of a lavender base. Could be the weather, as I don't recall its having the light lavender base even in early morning this year. Of course, low light pictures will produce more blue purple. The lavender is very light in any case; certainly beige this past year.

    Sometimes, evergreen cultivars will do well the first few years and then decline, usually not actually dying, but having sparse bloom and low scapes. Sometimes, the plant produces a lot of small fans. Your Lee's Loss may fit this situation, but perhaps late spring freezes affected things. In the case of Jane Trimmer, for a couple of years, it didn't perform well, but has picked up again. There are better cultivars in this color range for this area.

    I think this older pic is more typical of Jane Trimmer. I have pics with even more lavender in years back, but they may have been taken in low light.


    JT Davis is beautiful, but not a great northern plant here (too short and also can be inconsistent).



    My Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis is lovely, but has been on short scapes for two years.


    I look forward to seeing Jubilee Ball bloom this coming year.

    J.T. Davis: Slow to increase but the blooms are outstanding.


    JELLYFISH JEALOUSY: Awesome plant. The blooms appear to float in the air. Long bloom season for this one.


    Janet Grebus Murphy: A nice edge no eye out of Beautiful Edgings.


    More to follow.

    Mantis, thanks for posting the image of Jellyroll Morton . I added it this past season . Looking forward to seeing it bloom this coming season. So very pretty


    Debra , Judy's Jewel and Jeanne Deaver's Dream make me drool !

    Jellyroll Morton seems to be a good one for most people. I know Janice Brown is an older one as is Sherry's Jolyene Nichole, but they are so pretty that I think they are still good choices for the garden today........Some of the others that come to mind are Judy's Jewel, the tangerine golden orange color on Jungle Fury, the deep maroon color of Jasmin Rossi and a gorgeous Bennet pink, Jubilee Ball. So many others that are pretty too, but these come to mind (and fingers) at the moment.........BTW Sherry: Joan Senior is a great grower, but it's the white color that is a stand out even today in the daylily world. There are a few other whites that white (Gentle Shepard for instance), but Joan Senior is the one I have............Maryl

    Sherry , I haven't had Just One Kiss very long . It will be going into it's 3rd season this year . First year didn't do much , second ( last season it did well despite the drought ) fingers crossed we have a decent year weatherwise this year. No telling what it could do if we do get weather that cooperates

    Debra, just now trying to look at the pictures and read comments in the posts. I have never noticed Jane Trimmer having cream color. Mine is on the west side of my house, so is in the shade until after noon. Here is a pic from last summer.

    Still trying [not so successfully] to get caught up. Joe the Plumber & Jellyroll Morton are two that are real stand outs! Jellyroll especially has always caught my attention.


    Jack Sprat. Has great color and is vigorous but has one issue: when disturbed [split or something] takes several years to get going again, even if I just work hard to take a piece off of one side and seem not to disturb the rest of it.

    Joan Senior. Not sure why the camera brought out so much yellow in the throat, but still pretty.

    Jolyene Nichole poly


    Judge Roy Bean. It is actually more of a cinnamon color.
