T daylilies 2021
Let’s see all of your T daylilies today.
silly quote of the day: “ A good friend calls you in jail. A great friend bails you out of jail. Your best friend sits next to you and says, “ wasn’t that fun?”
My favorite T daylily is Tall Dark Stranger. I can’t say enough good things about this one. Good increase, great performer, tall and unique.
Through Dark Waters was a bonus plant that I wasn’t sure I’d keep. It had its second bloom season last summer and the blooms were 7”, it earned its keep because of the bloom size. I’m interested I seeing how it does this coming season.
Tyger River finally had its leap last season. It was a bonus, it will stay in the garden for now, hoping for another good season for it.
To Nancy With Love is being evaluated. It was added as a single fan in 2019 and needs a another season to earn its keep. I like it so far.
Toward the Blue is a garden favorite for all the right reasons. In two full seasons it added fans, increased bud count and made me drool 🤪 every day it bloomed.
Trahlyta is a favorite oldie here, it never disappoints.
Tiger Swirl was purchased locally, being evaluated and will probably stay.
Tropical Delight is a mini daylily. It is supposed to be a double but had an off season last summer. It was o e of several that didn’t like the late freezes and weird weather.

15 days agolast modified: 15 days agoMy favorite here is Tall Dark stranger too, Sherry. It just does really well. The first season I was not impressed by its looks so much, but the 2nd season I started seeing interesting nuances that makes it stand out.
T-Bone walker
Tahiti Sweetie
Tall dark Stranger has lots of buds and blooms well, but seems to put on a daily show. For all the buds it was in bloom for less than a month, but so pretty while in bloom
Teddy Bear's Picnic
Terry Lyninger, not a heavy bloomer or very tall, but the blooms look so good
Thin Man
Tikal Maid, I have several plants with this coloration, and need to thin. It is hard to decide though, why do certain colors seem to be such good bloomers?
Time Lord
Timeless Majesty
Titanic Tower

Two Part Harmony in single rather than double form. More orange than this appears though
Two to TAngo, a small flower that has not really done well. I decided to get rid of it and it has bloomed so well since that I am having a harder time losing it

Master Bathroom facelift/makeover
Comments (13)ok, i would like you to have a more sophisticated shower curtain or leave the shower doors in place. How about stick on window film-have cheap on line or at big box stores, can do window and shower with these this one is clearstained glass goes great with the beige and you can have a black or brown accent wall more sophisticated a couple of examples of stickers you can use on the shower door and the glass in front of the toilet. Peel and stick wall papers, all three are really in style right now, the second more for the darkness. Ok, so what we have is hopefully update the cabinet, via paint or darker stain and hardware that matches sink hardware. an accent wall here with peel and stick tile, and/or peel and stick wall paper or a dark paint. A new framed mirror. Update light fixture over sink with simpler shades, no need for new fixture, just less frilly glass can get everywhere for cheap. Update door handle and maybe darker stain on door. Update or paint over head fixture. possible window film or sticker on shower door. window film on window with glass shelves and baskets for storage. look at floating floor if insist on new floor and possible under heating-really is pretty cheap. Would rather see you spend money on laminate floating floor for bedroom and get rid of carpet. make sure floor is wood style.

Comments (9)perfectly fine to combine the two. you are looking at expensive cabinets though! these are full inlay with custom stained walnut island and lowers. I don't know what your budge is, but these are no cheap date! (cabs alone were prob 40K. Walnut is $6-$10 a BOARD FOOT! if you used a white oak, and did a full overlay (instead of inset) it would be cheaper. (these were done by an amish community) I do agree you get new cabs. (or have those refaced if you're keeping the same layout. Stained maple lowers. BTW, another poster on here. I suggested adding boxes and getting hers painted. here's the before, during and after. you could easily do this with yours, but get new doors and drawer fronts. have them painted. if you want a wood island, then get one made from white oak. I had my cabs refaced (it wasn't that much more. the painters got all new solid maple doors and drawers and painted them w/my base cabinets. I had drawers modified, a vent hood and all the old trim removed. These cabs were custom built 15 years, so they were in excellent shape and built to this kitchen. the doors were beat up though and needed to be refinished. since I was opting for paint, refacing was a no brainer.

Comments (18)ashpip- based on ypur prior experience with a city request, I’d put this tree project on the back burner! Certainly during these awful political & virus times, many things are at the bottom of the priority list. Sounds like you were told what you are supposed to do when you got your required permit but it seems unlikely city staff will actually follow up to check it’s done. And, if they ever do, you’re still deciding because of poor choices of course! That’s what I’d do in you situation. And, from your picture of existing trees, it looks like the next house down doesn’t have a tree in their boulevard space between sidewalk & street either. Embothrium, my Paper Barks were in both my front & back yards in my Seattle area home. I couldn’t find a spot for one in my new home here in Vancouver but I was delighted to find so many lining both residential & city streets here. None of them look very old based on size of my my oldest one in my yard. Haven’t noted any vandalism to those trees. That redevelopment you describe is sadly going on in many cities. The very small lot sizes for many new home Developments close in to cities as well. Fortunately I’ve noted the trend for including parks & play areas built within many of those kinds of developments which means some trees & lots of native plants!...See More

15 days agoI have always chuckled at tat quote, Sherrie. My favorite of yours is Toward the Blue, Nancy. The photo puts me in mind of Entwined in The vine. Nancy, I like several, Tahiti Sweetie, Timeless Majesty, but Time Lord is my favoite. I had that one and just lost it, but I always liked it. In face, may actually replace it.
I have quite a few "T" day;lilies even though not many are actual favorites:Tall Ships this very tall flat daylily is more impressive than it looks in a photo
Tempt Me
Two Sues Such a nice one and multiplies first year
Texas Carnival Dance
Lets see if Houzz will let me do four for a change

15 days agoSherry - Toward the Blue and To Nancy With Love are my favorites of yours.
Tall Ships and Timeless Majesty caught my eye. I must be in a lavender mood this morning.
The Ultimate Sacrifice is one of my very favorite daylilies. It multiplies well and always reblooms here.
The Color of Wonderful is still in too much shade. This past year is the first that it didn't rebloom.
The Dominator has had trouble multiplying because of grub attacks.
Two Sues is a wonderful clump.
There's A Place was new last year and had short scapes. The color is fabulous.
Triple Delight is a delight to the eyes. Unfortunately it's a very slow multiplier here.
Turn Turn Turn and Razor Eyes - TTT didn't bloom for several years as it was in too much shade. I moved it two years ago, and it did very well last year. It always reblooms.
The Blues Project is a smaller flower (4.5 icnes) with great bluish colors. The scapes are heavily budded and branched, and it multiplies well. Unfortunately it won't set pods for me. I haven't tried its pollen.
Thunder Glow was new last year. I didn't get it planted in the ground, so I hope it survives in its pot.
TNT is another that's growing in too much shade. I moved it last fall and hope it puts on a better show next year.

15 days agoA few more T's:
The Tribble With Blue was one of my best performers last year. Good bud count and great rebloom. It's registered at 18 inches tall, but had scapes ranging from 22-26 in my garden.
Twirling Tower was a new one. I like the motion of the petals and the bluish eye.
Thomas Tew has not yet impressed me.
Tranquil Waters has performed very well the past three years.
Trance
Tides Roll In was gorgeous on rebloom and showed some white teeth.

15 days agoSherry particularly love Tall Dark Stranger & Toward the Blue.
Nancy Tahiti Sweetie is lovely, really interesting colours.
Kay Tempt Me is well named because it does.
Debra The Ultimate Sacrifice is gorgeous, as is There's A Place.
Two Sues is very popular, I can see why.
Think Pink performs well in full sun here in the north but the soil in this bed is quite moisture retentive.

15 days agoLots of beauties here. I can't wait to see Two Sues in our garden this upcoming season. The Dominator is nice! I don't usually go for lavender but the color on There's a Place is beautiful! Trance is one of my favorite dips.
I love Tom Adams, but it's tender here so it goes in the greenhouse in the winter.
Tangerine Angel is a bright small-flowered one.
We lost Tango Lessons once, so this new one is in the greenhouse.
Tears of a Clown is an offspring of the beloved Clown Parade.
Tech Colors is one that has taken some time to get going. It was planted in a bad spot, but now has been moved.
More to come . . .

15 days agoTerrorsaur is supposed to be late blooming, but I think it bloomed early last year.
The Bride of Dracula is one of our absolute favorite oranges with teeth. It's a great grower and sets seeds well.
Tibetan Orange is one that sulked for the first few years. After last year's mild winter, it bloomed nicely.
I took this picture to show what a great grower Tidewater Elf is. It's just a plain yellow flower but it increases rapidly and has nice well-budded scapes. I'm glad we got it as a gift--it was a giveaway at the Region 2 summer conference held in Cincinnati a few years ago.
The Dentist was so pretty in 2019 but didn't do very well in 2020.
More to come . . .

15 days agoTime in a Bottle came to us mislabeled. I'm glad we got it. It consistently has a pattern in our garden.
We bought Titanic because it is an eyed toothy. So far, I have not been impressed with either vigor or fertility.
Topguns War Wizard was a giveaway at the Indianapolis summer conference a few years ago. It has been sort of ignored.
I love the small graceful flowers of Toy Trumpets.
I was not happy with Transylvanian Tango until we moved it. Now it is doing much better.
More to come . . .

15 days agolast modified: 15 days agoTriple Cherries has been in the garden for many years. It often gives doubles when you hybridize with it. It sets seeds well and is a reliable rebloomer for us.
TrueNorth Eye in the Sky is one of our Canadian daylilies.
TrueNorth Queen Bee is another Canadian daylily. It is doing very well and is even setting seed for us.
That's all for me.Nancy

It turns out just two more images to share for now . Can we now have less snow and more sun so we can start over for this year some time soon. It is a wonderful thing you are doing for us Sherry . I miss the colors so much and this winter has been so grey so these posts help to lift spirits in a very dull season. Thank you !

15 days agolast modified: 15 days agoThomas Tew appears to be a bit tender here. Michael Bouman near St. Louis says that The Ultimate Sacrifice is marginal there, so I am not inclined to try it. It will be interesting to see after this winter how things perform, although cold springs can also be harmful. I hope The Bride of Dracula gets distributed so the price comes down.
Thundercat had a good year after being on short scapes the year before.
The Band Played On always has good height and is reliable, even if bud count is limited.
Tahiti Sweetie --the jury is out
The Dream Society --not registered height yet. Wish it weren't so late.
The Future of Desire
The Red Telephone --sometimes more pleated
Tiger by the Tail --hasn't shown vigor here
The Painted Desert
Two Times Tardy --somewhat similar to Royal Renaissance, but better color.
Tactical Deception --interesting smoky shade
There's a Place
Thelma Douglas --not as good as year before
The Food Channel
Two Sues
Tomato Clownfish --very strong color
Tahitian Waterfall
Toucan Sam --good year, which suggests it likes mild winters. Previous years, low bud count.
Tar and Feather --earlier
Tropical Fruit Loops --I like the color on this one, and bud count is good.
Tropical Experience --older Stamile, not fast growing, but a reliable earlier one
The Grape Beyond --I do like this Selman.

15 days agolast modified: 15 days agoHere are the ones that I grow that begin with a "T"
TAKE MY BREATH AWAY: I was sent this one by mistake. It can be splotchy. Does not hang up. A little short for my tastes, but it is typical of Petit's intros.
TECHNY PEACH LACE in full sun.
TECHNY PEACH LACE: in the shade.
TOTAL SILENCE: I like the wavy white edge.
THIN MAN
TORRID DANCER is the pink and Careless Dream is the cream
TACTICAL CAT: This is a great little plant. I usually like bigger blooms, but I am using this one to hybridize with for patterns and blues. It is a Bennett intro.
TOUCHED BY GRACE
TIME TO FLY: This a great plant. The bloom is usually unblemished, but I think some bugs got to it.

11 days agolast modified: 11 days agoHeather, my experience with Thomas Tew has been entirely different! It quickly became one of my “suitcase” lilies. Every year the very first bloom has a beige look to it but all others after that are a creamy white. The purple is a deep velvety purple with none of the red tones Debra’s seems to have. It reblooms at least three times every year and the blooms range from 6-7 inches. This goes to show how different plant habit and colors can be in different gardens. I say this not to recommend one way or the other but to give an anecdotal record of this plant in my garden. This is my favorite picture of it In my yard In May.
This is it on rebloom last year. I do notice more of the red tones on these in 100 degree heat in August!!
This sorta reminds me of a couple of years ago when Laura posted pictures of her garden tours. She posted Entwined in the Vine and it was a muddy mauve look that I have seen on other pictures of it. In my garden (and Kay’s and Debra’s as well I think) it has gorgeous lavender and purple shades. I would never buy it if it was muddy! So glad that is not the case here!!
