N daylilies 2021

Let’s see your N daylilies today.

Quote of the day: “ I have wondered at times what the Ten Commandments would have looked like if Moses had run them through the US Congress.”


just a few N’s for me.

Night Embers had a really good season, too many daylilies here did not.

Night Moves has taken longer to establish. I do like the velvety blooms.

Nosferatu an oldie but a recent edition here.

Northwind Dancer, a lovely late bloom. It’s been slow to establish here because I’ve moved it twice in three season. I needed to stake some of the scapes, has this been a problem for any of you?

    An insightful quote Sherry......Night Embers is one that if I ran into it at the local nursery would come home with me. I have always liked it. Nosferatu is a pretty purple one with a simple but nice form...............Maryl

    I'll contribute a couple:

    No Way Jose. Needs a bit more vigor, but the color, form are beautiful. I've never had one that wasn't doubled:



    A pastel sunset orange I saw at the nursery. So pretty. I had to have it. Will see how it performs this year.

    New Tangerine Twist:

    That quote is dead on, Sherry! Night Embers is so pretty. Northwind Dancer is a beauty! Maryl, I so like Ornge and I really like No Way Jose. such a color!


    I have a few N plants Neon Flamingo:

    Sherry, Night Moves has beautiful color! And yes, our Northwind Dancer's scapes tend to lean. We love it though.


    Maryl, No Way Jose is lovely. Bob would like that one. He just bought a new orange double from Gossard. We have grown New Tangerine Twist for years and love it. We have gotten a lot of nice seedlings from it, maybe even an introduction or two in the future.


    Kay, I love No Boys Allowed. I love the form, color and the watermark. Your New Paradigm has wonderful color. The eye on ours was always washed out (a trait I don't like) so we got rid of it.


    I don't have too many N's to show.


    Naughty by Nature is our newest from Richard Norris. It has been rather slow to start, probably because it was planted in July when it was very hot.


    New Flame is one I picked out for 5 bucks. It always seems to be rather splotchy and we have better ones that are a similar color so it will leave the garden this season.


    Now and Zen is one that got overlooked (in a bed that was overgrown with weeds. It's a small flower and I can't decide if I should keep it or let it go.


    Now or Never is a DeVito daylily that has done well for us. We like the color on this one.


    That's all for me.

    Kay, I’m glad you posted Neon Flamingo, I added it last fall and hope I see a few blooms on mine this coming season, such a great color.

    Maryl, I love No Way Jose, it will go on my list. I’ve been adding a few doubles to the garden for some bloom contrast.

    Nancy, I hope you get some nice double seedlings soon!

    Sherry - Some years I have to stake Northwind Dancer, especially if we've had strong thunderstorms. But I love the lovely late blooms so much, I don't mind staking the tall scapes.

    Night Moves has the look I always go for. New Tangerine Twist has a great color, really liking that. Neon Flamingo and No Boys Allowed are 2 that are coming to my garden this spring, unless something falls thru. Keeping my fingers crossed. Now or Never has an unusual color calling my name.

    Nancy, I like both Naughty by Nature and Now or Never. Debra, I don't remember seeing NO Man's Land but I really like it. Of course, your NO Boys Allowed clump is gorgeous.

    Kay, how has your Navajo Pony been? New Paradigm was not good here--same as Hoosier Nan's experience. It did multiply though. I see that a lot of people have hybridized with it, including Korth. I did add No Boys Allowed, but Debra has warned that the bud count is not great. New Tangerine Twist is a pleasing blend and has a few teeth I see.

    Nelson Mandela --has been a bit slow


    Navajo Princess --not a large flower


    Natalie Anotinette --a Stamile that survives, but limited bud count


    Native Reflection --beautiful eye. Like most in its color range, not fond of mid-day sun.


    Night Wings --still one of the darkest


    Neon Flamingo --as many have noted, the bud count leaves much to be desired.


    Natty Man --still a young plant


    Navajo Pony --reblooms. Stems may be weak.


    Navajo Warrior

    Here are my Ns


    Navajo Pony: Love the bloom. The scapes were not very strong the first couple of years, but it now holds the blooms without any leaning.


    New Covenant: It is this saturated.


    Night Shift: Love the color on this one. I wish it was taller.

    NEON FLAME: Shocking orange.


    NIGHT WINGS in the pm. Still one of the darkest.


    Northern Fancy: A bloom machine

    NINE INCH NAILS: This is a wonderful plant. Blooms like crazy and the scapes never lean.


    That is all for me.

    Mantis, I have had Navajo Pony for two years. Here, It increased very nicely. Here, it also reblooms and in fact last year I had two occasions where it rebloomed, but no clumps in the rebloom. As for the weak stems, the first year that seemed to be a problem, but then last year the stems were quite strong and no leaning. weak, leaning stems are a trait I really don't like why is the otherwise lovely Northwind Dancer left my garden.

    Navajo Pony has been here about 4 years, it leaned badly the 1st year. I got leaning this year after an extremely heavy wind, and on rebloom when several blooms opened on a scape the same day. Generally, it is not bad. This year out of 5 fans, all of which bloomed, 3 rebloomed. I have shared it twice, so it multiplies decently. Had to add my 2 cents.

    Mantis - Nelson Mandela has very attractive blooms.

    David - I love the colors on New Covenant and Night Shift.

    Mantis: I've always liked the pattern on Navajo Pony. Good information about the possibility of weak scapes. Not a fan of staking if I can help it......Debra: Nordic Soul is a pretty purple. I like the white edge.....Nan: Look forward to seeing your double orange from Gossard. I am picky about how the centers look on doubles. The perfect double to me should look like a carnation - evenly spaced center petals. One of the best I grew for consistent centers was Dutch Yellow Truffle. You know how much I liked your Krakatoa Katie...........David: I like your description of "shocking orange". Will check it out. New Covenant looks great too...............Maryl

    David, I like that bright orange on Neon flame; I don't think I have seen it before; New Covenant is also quite pretty. Mantis, I like Nelson Mandela, but Navajo Warrior is really pretty. does it increase well? are you pleased with it?


    kay


    sherrygirl zone5 N il thanked organic_kitten
  • 5 years ago

    Kay, Navajo Warrior does increase, but I would prefer it to be a slightly larger bloom. It blooms later, not early midseason as registered. Wish it were early midseason. In researching Northern Fancy, I discovered that Debra was disgusted with splotchiness. One of the parents is Magic Amethyst, which was splotchy with me.

  • 5 years ago

    Mantis,


    Northern Fancy was splotchy the first two years I had it, but it was not splotchy last year. I have Magic Amethyst and the first few blooms tend to be splotchy, but for the most part it is free of splotchiness.

    I don't have many Ns, so this should be quick.


    Navajo Pony


    Navel Assault - I always like the bright blooms and it usually reblooms here


    Neon Flamingo



    No Boys Allowed - last summer were it's first blooms


    Not Guilty - hard to get to during bloom season, I don't have any great pics of it


    And two Ns I had at some point...


    North Wind Drifter - was a bonus and pink, so didn't keep


    Northern Splendor - was a bonus, beautiful but pink so it didn't stay

    Laura - It's so funny that you get rid of pinks. I guess you have to save room for all those purples. LOL I have a hard time parting with pinks - even my pink seedlings. The two you moved out are my favorites in your post.

    Sherry I have always admired Night Embers and ordered it this year. I like Night Moves too.

    Maryl both are super but I especially like No Way Jose.

    Kay & Debra No Boys Allowed is lovely.

    hoosier_nan Naughty By Nature is an interesting colour.

    mantis love how dark and velvety Night Wings is.

    David Nine Inch Nails is a beauty.

    Brad I think North Wind Dancer is well worth having to tie up.

    Laura & all others with Neon Flamingo - very impressive.

    Nancy et al Navajo Pony is another beauty.

    Night Beacon is my only N and not the best pic this year, so hot & dry.

    My Internet has been down for a week . Service guy finally showed up and I am up and running again after they replaced the radio , wire and modem ! Talk about a complete failure of equipment !

    So now I will try to catch up . I still havent got all my images labelled so will post what few I do have labelled . One of my fav's has got to be Navajo Princess. Beautiful clear colors on this daylily .....no muddying of colors at all.





    Nutmeg Elf just starting to bloom . It seems I didnt get back to photographing this plant later as more blooms opened. Not sure why .
