O daylilies 2021

Let’s see your O daylilies today. Winter has finally made a solid appearance here, 10” of snow, a high of 10 and 25-30 mph wind to drift the snow........I love winter.....not.

Quote of the day: “ We spend the first 12 months of our children’s lives teaching them to walk and talk and the next 12 months telling them to sit down and be quiet.”

Only two O photos this year.

Orchid Corsage will always have a place here, a wonderful late bloomer.

Olfactory Evidence had first blooms last season, it was the last daylily to bloom.

    Beautiful pictures, Sherry! OE is a great late.

    Olfactory Evidence - usually the last to start blooming here, but last summer it's FFO was Aug 1 and it was not the last - a couple of Hansons started after, the latest was Polynesian Voyager on Aug 11.


    Olly Olly Oxen Free took a while to get established but last summer exploded (sleep, creep, leap maybe)


    One For Steve - another that took a while to get established. Scapes have been short every year so far


    Optical Art - I think this was a bonus, and it left my garden


    Only 43 days until spring :) Have a nice weekend!

    Sherry, I love the photos of both of yours. I always enjoy Orchid Corsage. Laura, Olly Olly Oxen Free is really pretty, great photo.


    Olallie Autumn Gold, one of the last to bloom. Not a favorite but nice to have late ones.

    Orange Velvet

    Orchid Corsage. Pretty, late but very short.

    thats all folks!

    Laura's and Brad's pictures are not showing. Houzz must be having a problem or maybe it's on my end. Let's see if my pictures show.

    Odontos is one of our Canadian daylilies (from Daniel Matton). I wish the scapes were just a few inches taller.

    Well, I see it and hope the rest of you do too.


    Oklahoma Sand Burr has some nice teeth.


    The eye color on Odell is more maroon (too much sun in this picture). This was new last spring and I can't wait to see it this season We got a lot of seeds from it too (as pollen parent). Its bloom in on the small side (4.5 inches).


    Off to See the Wizard was a bonus plant. I love bonuses because I get daylilies I wouldn't have ordered. Many times I get a real gem.


    Old Time Memories is a large orange. Guess who wanted this one. It is a nice daylily.

    More to come . . .

    This is not really the correct color on On Your Knees You Will Find Him. It's really a warmer pink.


    One Above You, as the name suggests, is one of the super tall ones. I wish there were some super talls in colors other than yellow. Guess I'll have to work on that.


    I love the shape and eye and throat on One Hot Mama.


    I picked up One More Bud at a club auction for $5. What a buy that was! It just keeps on blooming.


    I love the colors on Orange Angel. As you might have guessed, this was Bob's pick.

    More to come . . .

    John Trimmer produced some beautiful oranges. Not all of them, however, are happy in our garden. Orange Blossom Trail has done reasonably well. It doesn't grow very tall (Trimmer's were huge in his garden in 2015), but it blooms every year.



    Bob and I visit lots of garden centers and I often find cheap daylilies and feel sorry for them and pick them up. One time I Walmart I saw one of those bagged daylilies that was growing a perfect little fan already so I had to rescue it. They are probably all tissue cultured, but I don't really care. I just buy them for landscape purposes. This one is Orange Flurry. It's a dip mini.



    That's all for me.

    Well, My post disappeared. Only Houzz. I will try again. but first my comments. Sherry, your funny qupte is a bit too accurate at times, isn't it. I left my Orchid corsage in a bad place for too long without moving it, and lost it. I really do like your Photo of it; so delicate and pretty. Laura, One For Steve has such Luscious colors and it is a spectacular clump. Brad Olallie Gold has to be a bright spot in your gaden with such a color and nice size from appearance. I will post my comments athen attempt the photos again.

    Nancy, we were posting at the same time...The first time I posted two and they did not shoe up....I redied them and, of course being Houzz, they decided to post the first two. Arrgh! on to what counts. I really like Odontos and, of course, Old Time Memories since I like orange. One Hot Mama is really nice. and you got a great buy on one more bud. I went back and deleted the initial Houzz-delayed post.

    Brad, I’m curious how tall Orchid Corsage is for you. It’s not short here......

    David,

    Our Friend Olin is a very neat one. Debra, I was hoping you would post Olly Olly Oxen Free, as it always is a nice one. I like Once Upon A Dream too.

    Nan: You have a few that caught my eye. I've seen Old Time Memories in person and even though it was a UF I found it alluring. Bob is right about it. I also found Orange Angel really pretty. I'm having to slap myself to keep from finding it.......David: I like Our Friend Olin, the 2nd picture especially.......Debra: Ocean Spirit has tempted me in the past. Do you need to stake it?......................Maryl

    Ocean Spirit with Scandinavia. Although stems are sturdy, seems tall for a pot.

    Mantis: That's a pretty combination in your picture, and combinations always interest me. You may have a point about height in a pot. With our winds I especially tend to keep them on the shorter side. Pots laying on their sides with the soil spilling out after a storm has caught the tall scapes is a sad sight..... Thank you for your input.............Maryl
