Daylily Photos From Very Cool Mornings

last year

With overnight temperatures the past two nights in the 50s, some daylilies can't open, toothy cultivars are missing their teeth, and some daylilies have take on very blue tones.

I'd never seen Once Bitten Twice Shy looking blue until yesterday. Yes, it was blue, but missing all its teeth.

Yoga Man has looked blue before - but never quite this sky blue color.

Linda Beck usually has a lot of red in the petal color. I don't remember ever seeing it look this blue purple.

Lunar Empire is looking good, and opened well despite the low temps. I grew this cultivar in a pot for many years and then lost it two years ago. I liked it so much I repurchased it from Mike Derrow.

Moon Shimmers is another yellow with a fancy edge that had no trouble opening this morning. This one is going to live with Kate after the season is over.

Garry's Favorite also opened well.

Pickup Lines

Browns Ferry Queen of Hearts

Ocean Wild - This one went home with a visitor today.

Crowning Fire X Woman in Red #1

Buddy's Victoria Jade X Skin of My Teeth - The petal color is really much darker than this - almost a black purple.

Beautiful! Both of your seedlings are lovely! I also like Lunar Empire and Garry's Favorite.

The cool morning gave you some great blooms today, too bad it is going to get really hot every where. The two seedlings have rich color too, such nice babies going in the suitcase.

Sherry - I'm used to those temps climbing up into the 90s. It's the cool temps that perplex me. I looking forward to fancy edges and teeth growing with the heat. Thanks for the seedlings comments!

Nan - I've had several vistors to the garden recently, and so many of them want to take home Lunar Empire and Garry's Favorite, but those are going with me. My visitors bring their own shovels and dig the daylilies I'm not taking. So far I have moved 30 daylilies out of the garden this way. And my Nashville friends will have something to remember me by.

I can see why you like Lunar Empire. Moon Shimmers is looking good with that edge! Love the blue in Once Bitten and Yoga Man. These cool mornings will do that! The Buddy’s Victoria is pretty in the clump. What a great shot of Garry’s Favorite. Glad you have been able to share some of your plants with friends and they will think of you whenever their new plants bloom!!

The Buddy's Victoria Jade seedling most caught my attention. Is it moving? Once Bitten--I suspect an evergreen that will be moving.

Mantis - I am taking the Buddy's Vic. Jade seedling, even though it's an evergreen. I am not planning to take Wilkerson's Once Bitten, or any of her evergreens that I own. I am taking her Sugar Magnolia, which is a dormant, and probably Sweet Child of Mine, which is semi-evergreen. Princess Charming is semi-evergreen, but it doesn't make my list of Top 125 favorites.

Crowning Fire X Woman in Red is pretty and I alway love the dark ones so Buddy's Victoria Jade X Skin of My Teeth is a winner for me.

I like Browns Ferry Queen of Hearts and Once Bitten Twice Shy in its blue phase. Garry's Favorit is a beauty.
