Reds, Near Whites and More

5 years ago

I made this post early this morning, but it disappeared. Apparently the name of the one of the reds caused it to be blocked, and the post went to Never Never Land. So, I'm trying again.


Here are some reds that I bought last year to use in hybridizing.


Irresistible You - First blooms are nearly 8 inches, and the scapes are nicely branched and budded. The best scape has at least 23 buds. This one is a winner!


Now for two Holley daylilies that need improved plant habits. I bought them both a year ago in the Spring, and they are just now blooming for the first time.


Hearts That Care has gorgeous colors, but a wimpy plant habit at this point and very few buds.



Four No _ _ump was disappointing both in bloom and the plant under it. I do hope it improves and impresses me next year (Yes, this was the offender that caused my post to be blocked.)



Patriot's Day - I like the color and look of this one. It's on short scapes this year. I'm hoping it will improve. Most Rileys do well here.



My Heart Belongs to Daddy is showing that pattern that made me want it. I usually get this look for three or four days each season. Thanks to kay for the plant!



When I look at my near whites, it's the Stamiles that are the prettiest to me.


Arctic Lace has looked very white this year.



Last Snowflake just started blooming yesterday.



Believe In Angels, a Stadler, looked especially white and ruffly this morning. This one has multiplied well and is the registered height.


Rowena Yaeger is a dependable near white UF.



Here's my Lillian's Thin Ice clump. It's not as impressive as past years because the grubs did a number on it and everything else in that raised bed.



Other colors will be in the comments.

    Blue Eclipse is taller and better budded this season than in the previous ones.


    Bragging Rights was one I got last year. It's growing in a pot, and isn't doing much in those conditions.


    Grove Park Terrace - I can't remember if I posted this photo earlier.


    Maney Augustine is doing great this year. Lots of buds (more than registered), and the flowers look like this every day.


    Mountain Wildflower


    Dr Jules Michael Vinkman


    Sparkling Giants - This one is growing on me. The scapes and the flowers have gotten larger as the weeks progressed.

    Thanks for posting the "near" whites. I've been doing research on them as well as some other colors. I like all the reds. Not a bad one in the bunch.

    How hot are your temps? The reds are really vibrant. So what is the name of the one which offended Houzz?

    Life is interfering with my daylily viewing for the next couple of days, but I just popped in to see these and I'm happy I did.........The two that jump out at me are Irresistible You, and My Heart Belongs to Daddy. The colors/pattern on Daddy remind me a bit of Christmas in Oz (which I very much liked). Are the scapes self supporting?............. My favorite "new" red so far of yours is Woman in Red. But IY is nice too (although I can't spell "Irresistible" worth a penny according to my spell checker-lol). Any difference in sun/heat tolerance for you?.........The form on Last Snowflake is lovely. Look at those edges, and I also am intrigued with Maney Augustine. Never heard of it. What's the scoop for you on it?.....................Maryl

    I just got My Heart Belongs to Daddy this spring. It has put out its 1st bloom, not as pretty as yours, but the plant looks a bit spindly right now. I look forward to it next year. Love Maney Augustine, beautiful color. Sparkling Giants continues to entrance me. You are liking it more? Patriot's Day looks good

    Nancy - Yes, I am liking Sparkling Giants more now. I'll get it in the ground later this year and see if the bud count improves.

    Julia - Our temps were very low yesterday and today. NIght temps from 55-60 and daytime temps of 79-85. I can't tell you the entire offending name, or this whole thread will be blocked. Do a Google search on daylily Four No and the whole name will come up for you.

    Maryl - My Heart Belongs to Daddy has had short scapes the three years I've had it, so the scapes don't have trouble. I think the problem is grubs. I wouldn't recommend it for you because it's an evergreen. Irresistible You just started blooming on our two cool days. Tomorrow will be 92, so I'll check it then for sunfastness. It's an evergreen too. Maney Augustine is a Chad Bush intro. It's a dormant that I've had for three years. It had mediocre performance the first two years, but this year is doing very well - probably because grubs stayed out of the bed where it's planted for once.

    Beautiful bunch of daylilies! I am not sure which ones I like the best. I guess I like Patriot's Day and Irresistible You best. Your whites are lovely. That clump of Lillian's Thin Ice looks good to me. I am loving ours. Of the third group, I like Maney Augustine and Dr. Jules Michael Vinkman.

    The reds are gorgeous, I cant decide on a favorite among the first four. I also like Maney Augustine but prefer Grove Park Terrace from that group. I don’t remember seeing Grove Park earlier, but with this older brain ya never know, lol!

    Arctic Lace is my favorite white, Rowena is also calling me.

    Can't believe that the __ump name causes so much crap and they will delete your post if you use it . The name in question is a card playing term for crying out loud. Talk about being way too politically correct.


    Love the reds , My Heart belongs to Daddy doesn't show the same intense red as the others though . Last Snowflake and Believe in Angels are pretty , the standout for me is Artic Lace looks to be more white than the others ! Maney Augustine is my choice from the pinks .

  • 5 years ago

    Sherry - Grove Park Terrace really has beautiful colors when it's cool.


    Hoosier Nan - I'm glad Lillian's Thin Ice is doing well for you. I'm hoping mine will be back to tall scapes and more buds next year.

    Debra , hope you did not think I was referring to you when I said "talk about being too politically correct" I was NOT referring to you.

  • 5 years ago

    Heather - I don't know what your talking about. I never saw the politically correct comment, and if I did, I didn't think you meant me. :)

  • 5 years ago

    Well, Debra, if my y Lillian's Thin Ice ever looked like that I would be shocked since it is just not spitting out its first blooms. I love reds so that is my favorite part of the post, and Irresistible You is a beauty and to hear it is good makes it even better. My Heart Belongs to Daddy does. just as you are describing, and since I got it from it's hybridized, Maney Augustineis lovely and I really like The Color of Wonderful.

    kay - Did you and Kate get your Lillian's Thin Ice from the same source? I sure hope LTI improves for you two. I really enjoy My Heart Belongs to Daddy every year. Thanks so much for it! I sure wish Nan Wilkerson had stayed in business. She always sent such great plants.

    Debra, I had to laugh at the blocking of your post! Obviously the young tech wizards who program the blocks never play bridge!! :)

    Did you know what was probably your original post showed up early this morning with the full name of that lily? Heather probably posted on that one before it disappeared again!

    Sparkling Giants is lovely and think what a clump would look like! Maney Augustine is stunning-I had not seen it before. I like the edge on Patriot’s Day. Lots to like in this post!

  • 5 years ago

    Kate - It was funny that the post was blocked. I think they probably didn't want any political discussions on these forums, and that was the cause. I deleted the original post since it was a duplicate, but I didn't see any comments on it. I've posted photos of Maney Augustine for three years, but apparently this photo is the most memorable. Thanks for looking and commenting.
