W daylilies 2021

5 years ago
last modified: 5 years ago

Today it’s time to show your W daylilies.

Quote of the day: “ A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.”


Wanda Lou Lovelyhas been here a few years and has done well enough to stay.


Witches Stick is a nice late season bloomer, decent performer here.


When Pigs Fly was a bonus, another Selman daylily that’s been slow to establish. The blooms are big on a tall plant. it had some splotchiness last season.


Wide Wide World, lovely color on this oldie, the color isn’t t captured correctly in photos.

When My Sweetheart Returns is a lovely smaller daylily. It has had good bud count and multiplied nicely.

Woman at the Well is getting established here.

Winifred Esther was added last summer and had a few blooms. I hope it does well this season.

    I think my favorite is Wide Wide World. How much difference in the color would you say then what's in your picture. I like the pink shade in the photo.............Maryl

    I have a few I can contribute.

    One of my favorite reds. This was taken in the late PM when the temperature was 97 degrees:

    Wayah Valley:



    One of my oldest daylilies, bought from the Wayside Catalog because of the funny name (named after a fish's mouth) and because they said it was purple. In our climate it can look closer to purple then some others called purple which I grown since.

    Wayside Guppy Gums:



    My favorite Bennett and a nice true pink.

    Wild Cherry Wine:

    Here are my Ws:

    Wesley Lee Kirby: Vigorousgrower and pumps out the blooms.


    Women Seeking Men: Tall and has wonderful blooms. I need to hybridize with it, as it is reportedly a good parent. Makes huge fans so give it space.


    WOODSIDE LUSTRE: Nice small red bloom.


    WEBSTER'S PINK WONDER: A great plant. Blooms are huge. Makes a statement in the garden.


    Widow's Walk: A nice smokey purple. It is relatively new, so it is getting established.


    WOODSIDE ROMANCE: A true pink to my eye. I remember seeing this pictured on the front of Mr. Apps catalog when I first got into daylilies over 30 years ago and immediately faling in love with it.


    WYATT'S CAMEO: My kids like to refer to this one as being tie dyed.


    WOLVERINE with Isabelle Rose in the background. Has been a little slow in getting established. It was a single fan 3 years ago.


    WALKING IN BEAUTY: I moved an entire bed and thought that I had gotten rid of this one since it was not performing very well. I missed a piece and am glad I did. I realy do like this one and its performance has improved.


    WREN'S SONG: This is a beautiful pink on tall scapes.


    WILLOW DEAN SMITH: Beautiful bloom ona good plant.


    WILD CHERRY WINE: One of my favorite pinks by Mr. Bennett.


    Wisest of Wizards: An oldie but a goodie. A wonderful parent to many.


    That is all for me.

    Here are some of my Ws...


    Wall Of Fire


    Water Drops


    Wayne's World


    What's Up Down South


    Whistler's Sister


    White Eyes Pink Dragon - since I really like this one, I am surprised by how few pictures I have of it - I think because it starts blooming later here and it's not in my big bed


    Winter Treasure


    Wispy Rays - the blooms make me happy


    Frogs like it too! :)


    Will post another group sooner or later...

    Woman At The Well - got in fall 2019, is still getting established here. Didn't see any pretty blooms last summer. It did rebloom.


    Works For Me - I divided it last year, hopefully it bounces back okay this summer


    Worlds Collide


    Wyatt's Cameo - I got this before him, but I have a dog named Wyatt :)


    Here's a pic of some Wyatt's Cameo scapes, since I have the picture I thought I'd share. I don't recall why I took it.


    TGIF!!! One more work day to go. Have a great weekend!

    Maryl, Wide Wide World color is more saturated than my photos show.


    David and Maryl, I’m attracted to your Wild Cherry Wine photos, I always wonder why I never added it here.


    Laura, Wispy Rays and Wall of Fire are so pretty. After seeing your clump shot of Wispy Rays I’m wondering why I never added this one here....I’m seriously space limited now.

    Houzz hates me. My post did not post, it just disappeared. I may try again later, but I am having difficulties since one of the cats knocked my monitor onto the floor and broke it. The screen is a mishmash of lines across both horizontal and vertical, plus a large, (5"X4") but at least not quite opaque, corner of black intermixed with colorful lines.

    Sherry - Wanda Lou Lovely is indeed lovely!

    Maryl and David - I always enjoy seeing Wild Cherry Wine.

    Larua - Works for Me is such a nice clump!

    kay - Sorry to hear about the monitor accident and another frustrating day with Houzz.


    Wall of Fire had a good season last year, and rebloomed for the first time since I got it planted in the ground.


    Wheel of Time - It was so cool during the first few weeks of last season that hardly any of the blooms on Wheel of Time opened properly.


    White Tooth is one of my favorite toothy cultivars. It always performs well and reblooms, but it has never been the registered height.


    Woman in Red was new last year and didn't have many buds. I look forward to seeing what it can do this season.


    Westbourne Little Lamb took a couple years off blooming, but seemed to do well last season. Another one that's never been the registered height.


    Willow Dean Smith doesn't perform as well as it used too, now that it's in too much shade.


    White Eyes Pink Dragon


    Walk in the Clouds



    Wigglesworth



    Wizard's Wish is always a nice late.


    Warm in Winter

    I am going to try posting Westbourne Wild Rose petals. It is lovely when you get a nice clump of it.

    I have to post it Wild Cherry Wine:


    I have at least this many more "W"s but this is enough

    Now I will make my comments again. sherry, I like your quote and I think Wanda Lou Lovely is just that, lovely. David, we have a lot of the same "W" daylilies, but I like your photo of Webster's Pink Wonder as I find it difficult to get a good photo of it. A bevy of beauties as usual, Laura, and Debra, I am glad Wall of fire is doing well, it looks great as does Warm in winter which is really beautiful.

    My Willow Dean Smith is also less floriferous. Perhaps needs to be divided.


    Wild Red Heart --quite reliable here


    Whistler's Sister --has made a good display when established


    When You Get to Asheville --well budded for a Selman


    Worlds Collide


    White Perfection


    Wild Cherry Wine


    Westbourne Good Old Days


    Wispy Rays --it has had its off years


    Wolverine --growing strongly now. I suspect that the single-fan start is the reason for David's slowness with this one.


    Wind in the Rigging


    Wide-Eyed Wallie


    Wikileaks --short


    Winter Treasure --moderate to slow increase


    Works for Me --nice earlier one. Somewhat limited in bud count.


    Wesley's Masterpiece --wonderful color, but not a strong plant here.


    Woodside Romance --looked very good here last year (about 5 inches)


    Web of Intrigue --earlier


    White Chocolate


    Wall of Fire --intense color. Some blooms funky.

    I used to grow WESLEY'S MASTERPIECE, but it left the garden due to not being a strong plant this far north. I do grow two of its children, 29 Flags Over Conway and Southern Cotton and they are both vigorous.


    Mantis: I do love WILD RED HEART. That is one I will have to look for.

    David: Nice form and soft colors on Wyatt's Cameo make it appealing............. Laura: Your picture of Wyatt's Cameo is a double confirmation of why I like it. Sweet.....Debra: W. Little Lamb is beautiful. The base color is so clean looking with that deep red eye looking rich......Hands Down for me Kay is Walter Kennedy. I usually don't like eyed daylilies, but that one looks great..........Mantis: Wikileaks and Woodside Romance are two of my favorites of yours in this batch............Maryl

    Well, I posted my W's yesterday, but like Kay's the post disappeared.

    There are so many W's it is hard to mention just a few. I love Wild Red Heart and Wall of Fire. Wild Cherry Wine is such a lovely pink. I love Westbourne Little Lamb. Wolverine is a great grower for us even though we load it down with pods every year. It is very fertile.

    Woodchopper's Ball is an odd daylily--60 inches tall with a four inch flower.


    Here is our Wolverine.


    The photo makes Wishful Dreaming brighter than it really is. I am not a fan of this one. The pattern is not very pronounced.


    The color is not right on Wide Wide World. Its color is some of the most luscious in the garden in my opinion.


    Wickedly Wild and Wonderful does not get to its published stats in height, but it blooms well every year. It's an early season bloomer.


    I know everyone loves White Eyes, Pink Dragon, but I have not been overly impressed with it.


    More to come . . .

    Whiskered Tree Swift has done relatively well for a Lambertson. We love his daylilies but they are generally tender here. This well is doing fine.


    Wandering Werribee is one of our favorites.


    Westbourne Frill and Thrills was one of Mary Jane Meadows' later ones. We were lucky to get it before she passed.


    That's all for me.

    I'm still behind! Lots of pretties above. White Eyes Pink Dragon is among my favorites. Wall of Fire caught my eye in the various posts above. Going to post before the new internet company comes to switch everything over. I will save money and drastically increase the speed!

    Webster's Pink Wonder. It's never been as dark as its first year when I brought it home from Dicks. Doesn't look as dark as David's above either; I still enjoy it.


    Westbourne Good Old Days


    Wilson Spider

    Wind Frills

    Woodside Amethyst

    That's all of my Ws.
