O daylilies 2022

Please show us your daylilies that start with the letter O. i need to see some reminders spring will be here. it rained all day Tuesday, now the snow is here….


Quote of the day: ” At what age do you think it is appropriate to tell a highway it’s adopted.”

Orchid Corsage, a great late bloomer, holding it’s own in this tangled mess.

Orange Smoothie, this is my second attempt with this one and I hope it does well. It is in a better spot than the first one.

Olfactory Evidence is a very late bloomer still getting established.

That’s all for me.

    Took me a minute on the highway quip, but I finally got it. Cute............My O is also Orange Smoothie. It does well for me and survived the cold snap last year when many didn't. It pairs well with other colors, so it works well in the landscape too:

    Here are the O's that I grow:


    OKLAHOMA SAND BURR: It survives, bu t not thrives in my zone 5 garden.


    ONCE OVER LIGHTLY (with Picking Time on the right). Both are Bennett intros. I am a sucker for a white midrib.


    OUR FRIEND OLIN: I love the round ruffled peachy pink.


    OUTER LIMITS



    That is all for me.

    David, I really like the color of Our Friend Olin, love the edge too.

    It's still rain here, but the nastiness should start this afternoon. The temperatures have already dropped quite a bit, but not below freezing yet.


    O Positive is one of those that is hard to photograph. The color is more red than violet. It's a small dip.


    I am not a fan of the color on Odontos.


    I am putting this seedling here because it is Olallie seedling no 17-08. If you notice, it has dark scapes.


    On Your Knees You Will Find Him is a good grower for us, but I haven't gotten it to set seeds. The pollen is good though.


    One Above You is one of Jamie Gossard's super tall ones. I don't think it's as tall as Big Bird's Friend or Jack and the Beanstalk.


    I love the shape and color of One Hot Mama.

    More to come . . .

    One More Bud is a great grower here.


    Please pardon the hand and the dead flower behind Orange Skies.


    Osiyo! is a great grower for us.


    I really like Out of Balance. This is one of Gossard's small diploids.


    That's all for me.

    Nice O's. Orchid Corsage, Orange Smoothie, Ocean Spirit and O Positive are my favorites of the bunch.


    Orchid Corsage. Much lighter than yours, Sherry.

    Olallie Autumn Gold, extra late. From the same growers as the VTs.

    Orange Velvet as a poly. It is such a good bloomer, tall, tons of buds, reblooms sometimes.

    That's all for me.

    David: I really like the ruffles and color of Our Friend Olin.......Nan: I'm not much on eyed daylilies but I do like the patterns on One Hot Mama and Out of Balance.....Debra: Old Time Italian is always a pretty pink, and Ocean Spirit, despite it's non rounded look, has called to me for some time now. Striking with it's lavender color...........Brad: O. Autumn Gold certainly has a vibrant saturated gold color. I'd think it would really stand out in the garden later in the season............Maryl
