We are getting close to the end….too fast. I am looking forward to seeing Kate’s blooms a nd Kay’s if she is still around.

When Pigs Fly left the garden, sooo slow to increase and splotchy blooms.

Woman at the Well….I enjoy the different color combo in this daylily. It has been a good addition, good increase and increasing bud count.


Witch’s Stick is a late bloomer


Witch King of Anamar great blooming its first season here, thick substance. Great work Nancy and Bob!


Wide wide World a nice oldie. it got moved, hope it does well this season.


When My Sweetheart Returns melts quickly in the sun. It is growing in mostly shade and does well under the circumstances.


Winifred Esther had good increase in the three seasons it has been here.

    I think my favorite is Wide Wide World. The blend of colors is so appealing. I like Witch King of Anamars deep velvetty purple. One thing though, where is Anamar? Figuring it's mythical of course..........I have only one W. One of my favorites. A Hensley red:

    Wayah Valley:

    Sherry, I like Winifred Esther a lot.

    Maryl, Wayah Valley is a nice red.

    Waiting in the Wings has been very short in its first couple of years.

    Webster's Pink Wonder with a damsel fly!

    White Eyes Pink Dragon is so beautiful.

    Wilson Spider

    Wind Frills

    Woodside Amethyst

    Wayah Valley is a very pretty red!


    For those who are wondering. the Witch King of Angmar is a character in Tolkein's Lord of the Rings. He is one of the nine ring wraiths, servants of the bad guy Sauron.


    I bought Waves Become Wings because it was late blooming. I am not a fan of these pastel colors, so it will probably leave the garden soon.


    We have gotten some interesting seedlings out of Weasel Teeth, especially when crossed with reds.


    Whatchamacallit is a Stella sized diploid. It's supposed to be a good rebloomer, but we have sort of neglected it so we haven't seen that much rebloom.


    We are into reverse bicolors/bitones and Whoa Mule is a good one. The flower is on the small side, but the scapes are tall.


    Here is our Wide Wide World. I think it has some of the prettiest color in the garden.



    Here is our clump of Wild and Wonderful.



    I wish Wispy Ray's scape was a little taller.




    That's all for me.

    Nancy, I really like Wispy Rays and especially your Wide Wide World--great color & halo.

    Wide Wide World does have pretty color-for both Sherry and Nancy. Nancy, great clump of Wild and Wonderful! Brad, Woodside Amethyst is a pretty color. Maryl, I hope Wayah Valley continues to survive for you-it is one of my favorites!

    White Eyes Pink Dragon recuperating after being divided


    What’s Up Down South


    Wings of Tomorrow was new and bloomed in a pot


    Who Would be Queen was new



    I love Willow Dean Smith


    And I love Wild Cherry Wine


    Winter Romance rarely throws a bad bloom


    Wrenetta Powell


    Women Seeking Men is tall and needy (for garden space!)


    Whirling Rainbows has performed poorly


    Willamette Mist is a delicate bloom


    Wonder of It All


    Which Way Jim has nice dark color


    Winged Migration

    Kate, so many beauties posted! My fav is Willow Dean Smith. I have always admired it for the unusual color placement, love ones that are a bit different.

    Lots of pretty W's - a lot of mine got left behind in Nashville.

    White Ambrosia is an evergreen. I hope it makes it through the winter. It was a good performer and rebloomer in Nashville.


    White Eyes Pink Dragon


    White Tooth


    I brought three White Tooth seedlings with me. I meant to bring four, but things don't always turn out the way you planned. I probably should wait and put these on the seedling posts, but I have so few W's, I decided to go ahead and put them here.

    White Tooth X Skater 4 is the tallest (34 inches) and best multiplying of the seedlings. It's semi-evergreen and shows some blue tones in the patterned sepals on cool mornings.


    White Tooth X Skater #5 is an evergreen. It has the best set of teeth and is a good multiplier, but it is short (25 inches). Whether it will survive the winter is anybody's guess.


    White Tooth X Skater 3 is the best budded (18) and an excellent rebloomer, but it multiplies slowly. A semi-evergreen, it holds its color on the hottest days.

    Kate, Who Would Be Queen, Willow Dean Smith and Wild Cherry Wine are all so pretty. I've had my eyes on the latter 2 for years.

    David, Woodside Lustre, Wren's Song and Westbourne Crying for Teresa are all quite nice.

    Debra, WEPD of course, and White Ambrosia are my favorites of yours.

    David - I really like your photo of Wren's Song. How much taller than the registered 25 inches does it grow for you? If you ever have any extra to sell or trade, let me know.


    Debra

    Debra,


    Wren's Song is about 8 to 10 inches taller than registered. I think it really likes the cold. I also checked with the person I got it from and they said that theirs was also taller than 25 inches..

    Wispy Rays has varied in height here. Progeny Painted Demon is more consistent in height and bloom, though the size and sizzling watermark of Wispy is hard to beat. Aaron Brown, another kid, can also have some off years. No picture this year.

    Woodside Amethyst is an attractive color. I agree that Which Way Jim is a good deep color. Wolfman is quite pricey, I see. Wrenetta didn't do well here.


    Another White Eyes Pink Dragon


    Webster Girls is a big plant


    Written in Stone is one that Karol is rightly proud of. Not the best picture this past year.


    Wine in the Gazebo has a rich color and nice eyezone/watermark. Around 26 -28 inches here.


    Witch King of Angmar is a fairly new plant here that has had to endure two difficult summers. Attractive coloration, but has been so far much closer to 5 than 6 inches.


    Wild Cherry Wine. Like most dips, it takes a while to recover from division.


    I have better pics from other years of Willow Dean Smith.


    White Icon is large and very white, but not a fast multiplier


    Woot Woot. A newer plant. It will be interesting to see its varying forms.

    Mantis - I do like the looks of Wine in the Gazebo. Woot Woot has a pretty bloom.
