R daylilies 2021

5 years ago
last modified: 5 years ago

Sorry, I’m a bit late today, life gets in the way occasionally, let’s see your R daylilies.

Quote of the day: “ forget about the past, you cant change it. Forget about the future, you can’t predict it. Forget about the present, I didn’t get you one.”


Real wind, a favorite oldie here.


Red Hot Returns is my favorite “returns” daylily. The blooms are bigger than other returns cultivars and it hasn’t had any blotching. It’s growing in a spot with not much sun and has done well.


Red Suspenders is new here, it had its first blooms it’s third season, last season. It was worth the wait, it performed well.


Reindeer Antlers is my absolute favorite red. The blooms hold up great in all day sun, no fading and the foliage has looked great the whole season.


Ruby Spider, can’t say enough good things about this one. Gorgeous blooms and great performer.


Red Volunteer is blooming in a rediculously shady spot With some hosta.

    Kay, thanks for being persistent! Rapid Eye Movement caught my eye today. I’ve seen it in the past but really studied your photo, I like pattern on the sepals.

    I am having problems with Houzz too. I tried to post two pictures and lost the post. I'll try later.

    I'm having problems too, will try again tomorrow morning. Beautiful Rs, Sherry - love those reds. Reindeer Antlers really is great, and you're right about the foliage, I've wondered if it's because it's a later bloomer. Kay, nice pic of RFK! One of my favorites.

    Sherry, I like Red Suspenders, and I got Reindeer Antlers last year due to your pictures of it I believe. It did well for a 1st year plant, and I love the color.

    Kay, I like your Rose F. Kennedy, surely mine will bloom this year. I don't know why it did not last year, it looked so healthy.

    I will post this and try to edit to see if I can get some pictures to post, who knows with Houzz

    Here we go

    Rapid Eye Movement


    Red Eyed Fantasy


    Regina Sitko


    Reindeer Antlers


    the tall UF clump is Reminds Me of Fireworks,


    Rev It Up


    Rock Solid


    Rose Electra


    Ruby Shadows


    Rushing Delight

    Sherry all your reds are delectable. Great saturation of color.....OOh Kay, a full figured gal. I like your Renee's Delight. Nice ruffles.........Nancy: I'm glad to see you posting. I can only imagine how rough things still are. Your picture of Reindeer Antlers looks more like mine. It has never wowed me like some, but this year we had a brief cool down and I saw it in cooler weather then our usual high 90's. A prettier color in my eyes. My favorite of yours this post is Rose Electra. What a sweetheart.............I'll post mine under separate header in case this "thing" is still being finicky..............Maryl

    Nancy, I’m happy your are impressed with Reindeer Antlers, it sure is a winner here. I was glad to see your Red Eyed Fantasy, mine didn’t bloom last season, photos don’t do it justice.

    So let's try Reindeer Antlers in high heat and out of it:

    Picture taken before noon, with temperature of 94. A darker more brooding red.



    Reindeer Antlers at 87 degrees early afternoon:

    Here's one more R.

    Rose Masterpiece: One of my first to bloom every year. Big bold flowers with a color that's hard to capture on film. Love it:

    Ok, I'll try again.

    Sherry, Ruby Spider is wonderful. It grows here too and you can't beat it for big bold flowers.

    I also like Rapid Eye Movement and Reindeer Antlers. Reindeer Antlers was planted in the fall of 2019 so it didn't do much last season. I can't wait to see it this year.

    Raggedy Man is one of our top performers. It's a late bloomer that has lots of scapes and flowers and sets seeds like crazy. Plus it is orange and has teeth. What more could you want!


    Ramming Speed is one I thought we should get rid of, but then I noticed the broken color on the flower. I need to observe it to see if it does that often. If it does, I will keep it to cross with Explosion in the Paint Factory.


    Randall the Runner is not hardy in our garden so it overwinters in the greenhouse.


    It is normal for Raspberry Tears to have a seersucker effect on the petals.


    I love Red Eyed Queen. It's big and flat with an eye and edge and some teeth. It does well in our garden.

    More to come . . .

    We picked up Red Lobster cheap at Jamie Gossard's place in 2019. It survived its first winter so we'll see what it does this year.


    Renaissance Revival was selected because it has a partial picotee edge on the sepals. Many of Salter's eyed daylilies do. That is a characteristic we want to work with.


    Riot Act has interesting color.


    Houzz is refusing to load any more pictures so I'll try the next comment.

    Houzz won't load any more of my pictures. I'll try again later.

    Odd, Sherry My red Eyed Fantsy didn't bloom last year either. Maryl, Rose Masterpiece is a really pretty one. Nancy, I see why you like REd Eyed Queen; It is really pretty. Nancy, Rushing Delight is an awfully pretty delicate bloom.and Reindeer Antlers is a nice red.


    I will see if Houzz lets me post Rambunctious Rosie


    And Red Boomerang; a bonus with lots of big red blooms.


    I won't push my luck any more

    Nancy,


    Renaissance Revival is a real looker. How does it hold up to your winter's? I am in zone 5 and usually have snow covering everything for the entire winter.

    Hoosier Nan, Riot Act caught my attention today, it’s one I’d like to see in person.

    Maryl, it looks like Reindeer Antlers just might work for you, hurray!

    Road to Dixie is cute but doesn't like our climate much.


    Rocky Mountain Sunrise has a nice flower, but the scape it barely above the foliage.


    Rocky Top is a bright flower in the landscape.


    Roi de Navare is one we got from Daniel Matton in Canada. I really like the colors on it.


    The color and edge on Rosie Cotton's Ribbons were wonderful last season. The flowers were larger too.

    More to come . . .

    The color is off on this picture of Rosie with a Ring. The petal color is not that white in person, but it does have a wonderful eye and nice edge. This one was new last season and I look forward to breeding with it this season.


    Rossen's Best Edge is a southern that overwinters in the greenhouse. It has the most extreme edge of any we grow.


    Royal Extravaganza is doing well here.


    Ruby Grandeur is probably my favorite red. I prefer a red on the rosy instead of orange side.


    More to come . . .

    Ruckus is not a favorite of mine. I don't really care for the color.


    Ruffles Have Ripples has never done that well for us. It's one of the few patterned ones we grow.

    Finally, that's all for me.

    Hoosier Nan - What's the name of the red and white one you said was new last year? Is it Rosie With a Ring by any chance. I got that one last year, but it did not bloom. Whatever yours is, I really like it!


    Here are some of my R's:


    Regal Sunrise


    Rings of Triton


    Rosie Cotton's Ribbons



    Royal Invitation



    Razor Sharp



    Rainbow Maker


    Restless Girls



    Ripsaw



    Regina Sitko



    Red Venom

    Debra, yes it is Rosie with a Ring. I don't know why I didn't put the name on it. I'll fix that. Rosie Cotton's Ribbons is looking good! I also really like Regina Sitko.

    Before I add my contributions to the R list


    Debra,

    I love RAINBOW MAKER. I will have to add that one to the garden at some point. It looks like it increases well.


    ROGER GROUNDS: One of the first ones to bloom.



    Rock Solid: Tall scapes and a great parent.


    RUNAWAY ROMANCE: A wonderful Bennett intro. A parent to many of his intros.

    RED VOLUNTEER: Wonderful red that is sunfast.


    ROARING FORK: An older Hanson. It looks a lot like NILE CRANE, an older Munson, but this is taller and pinches in the throat.


    RATTLESNAKE RAKE: Out tet GEORGE JETS ON.

    More to come,

    Red Grace: A great older red from John Benz. It was moved last year to an area of the garden that is not the greatest, as it was in a prime location where I wanted a newer plant to go.


    REINDEER ANTLERS: Thakns to all of the enablers on this list (and they know who they are), I had to get this one. It is one of the best reds in the garden.


    RING THE BELLS OF HEAVEN: Scapes are much taller than registered. It can be splotchy at times.



    More to come,


    David

    CLUMP SHOT OF RED LIGHTNING: This is also an older BENZ intro.


    RED HOT CHILI QUACKERS x ARROGANT BASTARD seedling that is under evaluation.


    RAYGUN GOTHIC: First year in the ground. It is a late bloomer.



    That is all for me.

    Lol Sherry, great quote! Love all of yours today especially Red Suspenders & Ruby Spider.

    Every Reindeer Antlers, RFK & Rapid Eye Movement is stunning.

    Debra Rings of Triton & Rainbow Maker are spectacular.

    David Rattlesnake Rake is terrific.

    Laura I can understand why you take so many pics of Regina Sitko, it's lovely.

    Red Magic needs to be divided. Very old but normally prolific blooms.

    Laura - Rich in Mercy is a knockout! Based onyour photo, I'd say it's one of Emmerichs prettiest purples. How well does that one perform compared to your other purples?

    Roses for Dallas --not registered height, but hasn't been beneath foliage here. Growth habit is like Carolina Cool Down, but a bit shorter.


    Ring the Bells of Heaven --when it is good, it is very good, but can be quite splotchy.


    Royal Girls --strong and pure color. This picture after some sun.


    Rogue Wave --not as tall as registered


    Regina Sitko --big and showy, but doesn't like afternoon sun. The spent blooms are like a glob of wet kleenex.


    Rogue Primate --satiny red out of Arrogant Bastard

    Signet,


    Every time I see RAINBOW MAKER, I want it. I will have to rectify that this year.


    Thanks for post ROYAL PINK TWIST. I know that Bud Bennett used that one in his hybridizing efforts. He certainly had an eye for pink diploids to use in his hybridizing. It is a gorgeous looking pink.

  • 5 years ago

    Debra, Rich In Mercy is one I've had for a while and is a late bloomer for me. I see it's listed as a rebloomer, but I don't think it's rebloomed in my garden. It is a gorgeous bloom. I have not paid attention to the bud count or branching on it. I have set seeds on it successfully each year, but have not used the pollen. I wish I had more time to hybridize, but my job gets in the way :) Here are a few more pics of it
