Show us your best U daylilies today.

Bad Joke of the day: Somebody stole all of my lamps……..I couldn’t be more de-lighted.

Upgrade, like all of the other Gossards I have, they do great in my garden. The spots on the petals seem to be more prominent on cooler days.

Undercurrent is another good performer here. It has rebloomed for me twice over the time it has been here. Color is more saturated in cooler temperatures.

I'm here now just to read your "delightful" pun. I don't have anything until we reach the W's. .......Both of your daylilies are just gorgeous, although I must admit spots on a daylily would take some getting used to. Upgrade is my favorite of these 2 but without the spots......Maryl

Love the joke Sherry! I have only one that fits this category and it is ULTIMATE ILLUSION. This is an early bloom.

Here is a later season bloom

Clump shot

It is a rapid increaser. Blooms over a long period of time. A very different look in my collection.

Have a great day!

Sherry, Undercurrent is very pretty! I am also very enlightened by your pun! I don't know watt I did without it; it sure is illuminating.

No U's here. Plenty of V's for the next round.

Sherry - Upgrade and Undercurrent are both beautiful! I've always admired those two of yours.

David - Ultimate Illusion has a neat pattern. I reminds me of Secret Sentinel, which I grow.

Untamed Heart - My intro performed well last year, despite the dry, hot weather. Two scapes had the registered 18 buds, and the others were in the mid teens. This one is a terrific pod setter, even in hot temps. Unlike my earlier intros, this one is an early morning opener. It reblooms some years, but not reliably here.

Untamed Heart clumps

Unbound was a new one last year. It's supposed to be excellent for hybridizing, but it was too hot last summer for me to be successful with it.

Nice U daylilies. I like them all, but especially Ultimate Illusion.

I have only one U to add. Unstoppable is a great grower. It has made a huge clump, so much so that it is crowded out everything around it. We meant to split the clump last year, but didn't get to it.

Well, I started out picking my favorites, but I gave up when I realized every one is my favorite! Ultimate Illusion might be my favorite just because it is so different, and in a nice way. I am not sure I like spots on a daylily yet, although I do have a couple that resemble Upgrade, and like them too. But some of the spots look like the ones I get up in the morning where the dew and messed up their look. Something I try to avoid in a daylily these days. Maybe I am just missing something. I have a few Us but apparently did not keep pictures of any of them.
