T daylilies 2024

Show us your T daylilies today.

Two Sues finally did something here after I quit abusing it. Three moves in three seasons and it survived….finally had some nice blooms last season.

Tyger River….. not very vigorous but growing in a less than ideal spot.

Trance is getting established.

Top Honors struggled last season.

Thibodaux Tantilizer was added last spring and did produce a few pale blooms……hoping the color is more saturated this season.

Tiger Swirl was a worth while big box store purchase…good increase.

Through Dark Waters produces some teeth. Blooms are close to 7”.

Techny Spider is new to the garden.

Tall Dark Stranger has had great increase and bud count.

I had to include Toward the Blue…..this is a photo from a previous season. It did horrible last season, NO decent blooms. Just hoping it has a better season this summer.

    Sherry - What a nice shot of Two Sues. I don't think mine bloomed at all last year. Tiger Swirl caught my eye. It looks so cheerful!

    Tart With a Heart was my favorite T last year. With several late scapes and rebloom, it was also one the longest blooming cultivars in my garden. Later scapes had bud counts in the high teens.



    Here's one of those later scapes blooming in August.


    There's A Place had short scapes last year. It's never had many buds for me. but you can't beat the blue colors.


    It's finally grown into a nice clump. The colors were much fainter as the drought continued and I did not water that part of the garden.


    The Pink Shabang was impressive its first year, did not bloom at all the second, and last year had short scapes. It did rebloom on all fans though. I will not be taking it with me when I move.



    The Color of Wonderful is what Kate calls a "suitcase plant." There's no way I'd leave this one behnd. It's always done well for me even though it's planted in part shade. It did have mostly short scapes last year. There's only been one year that it did not rebloom here.


    The Tribble With Blue was short on scape height and buds, but it grabbed attention at clump strength. It usually reblooms but did not last year.


    Tiffany Shade always blooms very late and always has short scapes for me. This year it had a slightly taller scape with 20 buds.


    Thunder Glow has not performed well here. I think grubs likely got to it. It has given me a couple of nice seedlings though.


    Tides Roll In is usually a blooming/reblooming powerhouse. This year it bloomed on only two fans and did not rebloom at all.


    Twirling Tower had nice, tall scapes but lower bud count. It has give me a couple of super seedlings with bluesy eyes.


    I have several other T's that either did not bloom or I didn't photograph last season.

    Debra, I really like Tart with a Heart, such a lovrly photo. What a shame the weather we had messed up Theres a Place, such a lovely bloom.

    Sherry, Two Sues and Techney Spider are really pretty. Debra, The Color of Wonderful is indeed wonderful; also like Thunder Glow [too bad it doesn't do well] and Tart with a Heart.

    Tenn. Sunset

    Thomas Tew

    Tune the Harp was much darker than normal with cooler temps

    Tune the Harp from other years. Quite different.

    Tuscawilla Tigress, not a favorite but reliable.

    Sherry, Two Sues is very nice. Ours got crushed by the tree. We will locate it this spring and move it so it can recover.


    Debra, Tart with a Heart is so pretty. We bought it but I have a feeling it is not going to like our climate.


    For some reason Tasmanian Tiger does not thrill me. I don't think it will stay here much longer.


    I know this is probably breaking the alphabet rules, but I included Tet. Super Purple in the T section.


    The Bride of Dracula is a favorite here.


    Too Many Cats Spoil the Broth is new here, but it looks to be a great grower. It is one of Bret Clement's tetraploids.


    Topguns My Friend Ellen


    Totally Toothy is another that does not impress me. I think it has so-so color and puny plant habit.


    Tramps Like Us does impress me. It took its time getting going but now it is doing great.


    Here is a clump photo of Tramps Like Us.



    More to come . . .

    Here is Trance, one of my favorite diploids.


    I like the watermark and color of Tropical Tease.


    That's all for me.

    Debra: I really like TART WITH A HEART. Clean and vibrant colors.


    Sherry: I like TYGER RIVER even though I don't really like orange.


    Nan: I really like TRAMPS LIKE US


    Brad: THOMAS TEW looks real good. I know lots of people grow it. I wonder how it would do in Zone 5?


    Here are my contributions:


    TROUBLE IN PARADISE: Acquired last Spring. Will ocassionally hang up. Rebloomed for me.


    TRANSYLVANIAN TANGO: This is a good red from Mike Derrow. Well branched and many buds.


    TORRID DANCER: Love the ruffles and it is well budded.


    29 FLAGS OVER CONWAY: This is a purple that I really like. I need to leave it alone and let it get to clump strength to really see how it will perform.


    TERESA A MOSHER: I reallly like this one. It has an interesting pattern.


    THE TRIBBLE WITH BLUE: Off year this past year. Not many scapes or blooms.


    THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS: A Petit intro which consistently is tall and is a good performer. Pattern is consistent.


    TACTICAL CAT: A wonderful Bennett intro. Not the best picture.


    THESE FOOLISH THINGS: An older Bennett intro but new to the garden.


    TOPGUNS LAVENDER LACE: More of a bicolor as the season progressed.


    That's all from me.

    Tahiti Sweetie was fabulous last season. Alas, It has not shown up this year. I fear late season voles may have enjoyed it for Thanksgiving.


    It had bouquets like these for days


    Truly a Princess


    Tall Dark Stranger has multiplied well


    Tricolor


    Thomas Tew-I love the dark velvet color


    Total Opulence has not multiplied well


    Thundercat


    The Heathen Rage


    Thundering Voice-I like the thin white edging


    Tickle Me Elmo


    True Gertrude Demerest from a few years ago. It has gotten lost in the jungle bed and rarely blooms like this


    This is the way it usually looks


    Tangerine Tickles

    It's late so I'll only post a few. I am not a fan of white base daylilies with eyes, but the exception has always been Thomas Tew. It's so rich looking and seems to do well for most people...........

    This first one is brought to you by the infamous pink enabler (she knows who she is). Please note the Zinnia on the top right which is brought to you by the infamous Profusion Zinnia enabler (and she knows who she is too):

    The Color Of Wonderful:



    And considering what Wednesday signified for many Christians I find this appropriate for that day:

    To God Be The Glory:

    Maryl - What a lovely photo of The Color of Wonderful! Thomas Tew never had near white petal color for me. It was an ugly beige here, and the plant never multiplied. It may have just been planted in a bad place. I sent it to Kay, and it seems to be doing well for her.

    Kate - Tahiti Sweetie has an unusual color in your photos. I'm used to seeing more orange tones in it. I hope you did not lose all of it. KY Nancy sent me a piece of it that rotted. That was the second time I lost that one, so I will not be trying again. The voles have proliferated like crazy here. I see vole holes everywhere - especially in my seedling beds. I hope I haven't lost my best seedlings, but I probably have. I've been pouring red pepper down the holes. Any other ideas for driving them out of the gardens? I very much like Tricolor and Tickle Me Elmo!

    David - Trouble in Paradise is pretty. I notice it's taller than most of the Emmerichs I grow in the same color class.

    Debra, the first photo of Tahiti Sweetie was taken on a cool overcast morning-I think the tones were quite different on it.

    I am estatic to report on my garden walk today, I saw TS peeping up!! I did a happy dance! However, I am sure I have lost some others. I saw that in early fall. I put pellets containing castor oil on my gardens. They are supposed to deter moles and voles use mole tunnels. My outside cats are greatly derelict in their cat duty!!

    I see that To God Be the Glory is a huge bloom out of Seminole Wind. Tangerine Tickles is an appealing color (a Grossman). I also like the colors of Thundering Voice (seldom see it pictured) and the peachy pink tones of These Foolish Things. After years of hearing the praises of The Bride of Dracula, I ordered it. Tyger River, a bonus, has not performed well.

    29 Flags over Conway looked pretty good last year.


    Thelma Douglas has had crowded scapes and hang-ups. Also, short last year. I am now wary of its progeny. Individual flowers can be beautiful.


    The X Files is a striking flower. I am waiting to evaluate plant habit.


    The King is Coming has not been a fast increaser (Carpenter), but had some nice blooms last summer. Not tall.


    The Goldilocks Effect is an older Hanson. Had an off year, but I wonder why it isn't more widely grown, as it has an intensity greater than other polychromes I know.


    Tattered Heart had such a good year in 2022 (pictured), but much less impressive this past summer (to the right is Drew Hoo).


    I too like Thomas Tew (good taller scapes). Sib Christopher Moody was shorter with lower bud count.


    Tahiti Sweetie looked good last summer. It sometimes has lighter spots on segments. The sun shot adds a glisten, but it stands out.


    Teeth of Iron --slow increase


    Tactical Deception --vigorous and attractive smoky color. Hanson.


    Tao of Physic --looked better last summer than in prior years


    Emmerich's Truth Teller. Held up better in sun this year.


    Tickle Fingers --so far, less vigorous than some other Davissons


    The Dream Society had a very good year. Later blooming.


    Twitch --a more recent Davisson


    Tahitian Waterfall


    Two Sues had an off year.


    Tonight's the Night --rich color. Wish it were a bit larger, but nicely ruffled.


    The Food Channel


    Tar and Feather made a splash of color in the early season. Very dark eye.

    There's a Place had scant blooms last year, but I agree that it's a very attractive flower. Thundercat is still recovering from division.

    Kate, Tahiti Sweetie is always so pretty, love to see it!

    Maryl, both of yours are favorites for me. So pretty.

    Mantis, you've got a lot of great purples. I will narrow it down to Tickle Fingers, the x Files, Tactical Deception, The King is Coming and Tattered Heart.

    Mantis - Your Tahiti Sweetie is more like the color I'm used to seeing. It makes a lovely clump! The X Files looks good.

    Tonights the Night is impressive. I would be thrilled with that bud count here, such a nice purple
