Debra, I dont remember seeing Undress my Imagination, love the unusual look.

Love this Goldner seedling, great performer snd reminds me of Jan Zoo.

Tyger River got moved to a better spot and improved so much, didnt skip a beat.

Sunny Intervals is fairly new to the garden.

Savannah Debutante had fewer blooms last season.

Sailor Sky is a wonderful, reliable daylily. It is probably the best performer I have, blooms mid late.

Primal Scream suffered a bit last season, fewer blooms and scapes.

Orange Smoothie is a favorite here. My second attempt with this one has been good.

Mighty Chestnut benefitted from a move. Had a great season immediately.

Sherry

Sherry - Undress My Imagination was new for me last year. I was wanting something peach colored, so I added this Curt Hanson cultivar. Other photos in the database show it with more extreme pinching, but I hope it stays looking like the picture I posted. The Goldner seedling and Orange Smoohie are my favorites of your oranges. Sunny Intervals is one that grabs me too!

Debra

Sherry, I really like the Goldner seedling as well as Sailor Sky! Sailor Sky always catches my attention every year!

Debra, I always enjoy seeing Maui Sunrise.

Bittersweet Holiday

Coral Majority,

Highland Pinched Finger which always gives quite a show. An orange noid in the background.

Orange Velvet and Tuscawilla Tigress

Primal Scream

Primal Scream x South Seas, huge numbers of blooms!

So Lovely x VT Rose Rosy, rose/apricot blend. Lots of buds, bud builder

South Seas

Orange Velvet x Christopher Russell

Orange Velvet x Christopher Russell 3

VT Autumn Fires, always one of the top bloomers [30's].

VT the Last Melon, also a top performer

VT Sophie

Tenn. Sunset

Smoky Mt. Autumn x Jolyene Nichole

Elegant Candy x Coral Majority 2

Brad

Brad, more nice seedlings! Smokey Mtn X Jolyene is my fav…you get nice seedlings from S Mtn. Vt Autumn Fires always looks good…..how late does it bloom for you, cant remember.

Sherry

Sherry, Autumn Fires starts mid-July but has so many buds it blooms through August or early Sept.

Brad .

Nice oranges! My favorites are VT Autumn Fires, Mighty Chestnut and Maui Sunrise.

Here are some oranges in our garden.

Heavenly Fireblaster is a 5 inch flower on a tall scape (registered at 47 inches).

Krakatoa Katie

Brienne of Tarth is one of our 2026 intros. We got the ok on the name just today.

Hares in Paradise is another of our 2026 intros. The color is a bit hard to describe. We used the term 'rosy coral' in the description.

Pineapple Bites X Extreme Tangerine is a seedling we are excited about. It will probably be an introduction when it increases enough.

That's all for me.

Nancy

Nancy, I like Hares in Paradise, would be interesting to see it in person.

Sherry

Nan: Hares in Paradise appeals to me too. Color and form look great.......Brad: Your Smokey Mountain seeding is a looker. Love the unusual color and the fully formed petals. Any stats on it yet?......Sherry: What a nice bloom on Orange Smoothie. It's always a good bloomer for me. I'm so glad it's working out for you too. I think Nan grew Mighty Chestnut many years ago which is where I saw it for the first time. Over the years I always think about it when I order. Just haven't hit the right timing of space and source yet. I'm kind of hesitant about the color being "muddy" with the reported brown tones. Is it clear for you?....Debra: Love the shading of Undress My Imagination. In your cooler temperatures it ought to be just lovely.........Maryl

Nancy, I really like Heavenly Fireblaster, nice and bright!

Brad

I have only 1 that hasn't been posted yet. I have Maui Sunrise but mine doesn't look orange but more in the red tones. I think it may be a soil thing that pulls more red tones.

Bob Marley - love this one for the bright color and it increases fast in my garden.

Julia

That Bob Marley is nice and bright. I really like it!

Brad

Julia: I like the color on Bob Marley. Right up my alley as you will see......for my small garden I have many oranges. One of the reasons I liked daylillies at first was because of roses. Roses were my first love, but the color of orange and yellow that suited my climate were few and far between. Daylilies however have a wide array of yellow and orange shades that can do well here. So here is my first batch. I'll get to the rest later:

Abstract Orange. Tender for me with my pot system, but it's a pretty Salter so this is its second (and last) chance:

This is one of my oldies and goldies. One of my first daylilies.

Coral Corduroy:

A nice orange from our Nancy

Muy Caliente:

That's it for now.............Maryl

Maryl, I always enjoy seeing Coral Corduroy, such a lovely oldie. I call Mighty Chestnut rust, not muddy to my eye. Here are older photos that shows the color better. As always the lighting makes a difference.

Sherry

Here are two I missed while posting.

Peach Pizazz, one of the few Selmans I still have.

Honey Crunch Cupcake was planted last spring ans surprised me with a few small blooms late fall.

Sherry

Nice pictures again of Mighty Chestnut Sherry. I saw it once on a video of some wholesale nursery in full bloom. It was loaded with gorgeous orange flowers that didn't look muddy, but I have seen some pictures elsewhere that made me wonder. I appreciate your comments about it. I understand rust color. I grew a daylily for many years called Bittersweet Destiny and it was a sort of rusty orange. Again, just waiting for the right time and space to try it myself. Thanks for the enabling-just what I don't need-lol.........Maryl

A few more oranges:

Another of my must have deep oranges. Sunfast/colorfast in all but the highest heat):

Burning Inheritance:

If the temperature is on the cool side of 90 (this is at 91 degrees), this one is stunning. Still eye catching when the color is more golden in the really high heat. One of my last to bloom:

Indian Ripple:

A new to me Hensley deep orange double. Pretty color but will need another season or two to evaluate.

Libby Gallion (FFE):

Another new one in the orange range by Tanner. One of our high winds knocked the pot over and left me with only one bud. This is that one bud in bloom. Can't wait until next year.

One Carolina (FFE):

Only of medium vigor and bloom and not all that tall, still this is a keeper for me for the beauty of its bloom alone. The Double form is almost always perfect.

No Way Jose:

An orange sherbet color that blooms late and takes our high heat in its stride. Usually has a triangular form and has repeated it's bloom before (just not this year).

Better Than Ice Cream:

This one doubles often and I like it either way. The colors have almost a neon glow to them. A standout in the front of the border with plenty of bloom.

Contented Heart:

Of course there is Orange Smoothie that I love. Sherry posted a great picture of hers and I'll ride on her coat tails this time. One last orange that I loved this year. Just not a daylily.

Portulaca (moss rose):

Maryl

Love that Indian Ripple! I have one somewhere here. I must have put it in a crumby spot…..dont know where it is, maybe gone :(.

Sherry

Maryl, I really like the brightness of Burning Inheritance; also I always like Indian Ripple.

Debra, I never planned to have any orange seedlings except a couple where I tried to get intense orange coloring, but genetics said otherwise! And it worked out fine.

Brad

Here are some oranges from my garden:

Pure and Simple

CHILLED ORANGE SORBET

Primal Scream

Screamcicle

NEON FLAME

SOUTH SEAS x NEON FLAME seedling

PINEAPPLE BITES

That is all for this category.

David

David, I really like your seedling a lot! It has 2 great parents. Great clump shot of Primal Scream.

Brad

I have carpal tunnel surgery this week. Alas, I think the issue was from too much weeding.

It will be interesting to see the parents of Nancy's intros. Alas, my Primal Scream never looked as good as David's. I have seen it at gardens in its prime, though also have heard that it can be slow to mature. I love portulaca, and so do the deer. A very appealing bloom on One Carolina (a semi-evergreen with Green Mystique in its background).

Tennessee Sunset is a beautiful color--I see that it is a Dougherty.

Mean Green.

Mean Green, as is well known, is a vigorous grower. Years ago, I bought a piece from Julia, and she sent a huge division, saying it was too difficult to divide.

Tahiti Sweetie not looking that great. It was an off year for some.

Crintonic Fireball. Blooms later.

Tangerine Tamale in a pot.

Last Blast. It is indeed a later one. A Davisson.

Desert Flame. It provides a hot spot of color. A Sellers oldie that screams for attention.

Tigrillo Afternoon is a later bloomer.

Carrick Wildon. Lots of color on this older one.

Hot Buttered Rum is tall.

An old Wild cultivar, Garden Majesty, is a neon color described as tangerine. Hard to capture its glow. Later blooming.

Pineapple Bites

Indian Ripple in the sun. A later one.

I tried Desert Flame for the first time about 4 years ago. In the morning the color knocked my socks off. However, by the time I took this picture around 2 PM when it had gone into the afternoon shade, it had lost it's pizazz from the heat. We are talking 99-100 degree heat. If I were in a cooler climate, like you, I can't imagine not at least trying it. Here it was after the sun got through with it by 2PM. Not hideous by any means considering, just not the show stopper I had hoped for later in the afternoon.

Your Critonic Fireball certainly got my attention. I will have to do a search for that one. I really like that saturated color..............Maryl

I have a few more on the screen.

Norris's Belief in Vein can be very showy. Varies in coloration. Often, more reddish orange.

Glowing Quasar, of course.

Tropical Fruit Fight, a Hanson.

and Navajo Warrior

Mantis - You shared some showy oranges. I especially like Glowing Quasar and Crintonic Fireball.

Maryl - Desert Flame still looks pretty good at 2 p.m. to me.

Debra

Mantis, you have several that are really excellent! Critonic Fireball and Desert Flame are really nice and bright. I love the form and color of Tangerine Tamale. And even though it is not its best, I always enjoy Tahiti Sweetie.

Brad

mantis: I'm going to research Curt's Crintonic Fireball. I think that one really pops with color. How did it hold up in higher temps during your season.

Good luck with your surgery.

Julia

Mantis: I hope you will be up and at 'em real soon from your carpal tunnel surgery. I'm assuming you won't be able to type for awhile though...........Best wishes.....Maryl

Yes, typing is a matter of pecking. Not just carpal tunnel but ulnar decompression as well. Meanwhile, we are experiencing the coldest early Dec. weather since 1991 (so they say), with no relief in sight. Lots of glum faces in the grocery store this morning. When I told one fellow shopper about my surgery, she replied, "I've heard that it's a long recovery." But she wished me the best. Thanks for the wishes.

Julia, Fireball is a later bloomer. The color saturation can vary (database pics too dark in my experience here), but I don't recall its fading badly in the heat. This year late July temps were actually more moderate than the oppressive heat (and humidity) earlier. Then in August a long drought period began.
