The early summer garden is the territory of daylilies. I have made dedicated pages for some hybrids, but for the ones where I haven't gotten around to that, as well as seed-grown ones that don't have their own name, this page is where they go. Let's start with 'Luxury Lace', which has somewhat smaller blooms in soft pink and cream shades. Web references for this one show a number of different color combos, but this is what is was named when we bought it.

We don't know what this one is called - it starts in early July.
|
This one (name unknown) has thick yellow petals, and blooms in early July
|
This peachy variety was grown from a seed trade of 'hand-crossed hybrids'. Not too shabby.

Another hand-crossed hybrid (curve garden back lobe, leftmost), this one pretty in pink

And another (curve garden back lobe, middle)

Visitors to this page have left the following comments| paul | Jul 16, 2006 | Looking for pictures of the following varieties: Morning Plum, Splendora Sunrise, Jamaican Treat. I bought them from a clearance rack and am curious how they will look. If you can refer me to a photo resource I would be most pleased! (And willing to share when I next divide the plants.) ~Paul
I don't know of a single source, but I'd start surfing from the Open Directory daylily category. |
| ACWinOH | Oct 18, 2008 | Love, love, love daylilies! We have about 4 dozen varieties which would amaze you if you knew how small our lot is! I mostly collect orange flowering plants and would love a Kwanzo - wow is that ever gorgeous!!! Thanks for the pics! - Carol |
| M.L. Fromme | May 05, 2009 | Have to comment as you have some unnamed varities of daylilies. I too have some like that, given to me by elderly ladies willing to share hems. I have some that I have dabbed as I go out early to see who is blooming and run around with pollen in my hand and don't always mark who got pollen from whom. Had a beautiful orange that my daughter says to just name Opps as I am not certain how I arrived at it. Have probably 900 plants, lots of Munson. I was always told not to buy dormant ones but have found that with the rust problems that we have in South Texas the dorman have less problems with that. I just found your site for the first time and love it. Sorry to send you so many emails at one time. This is my last I promise.
No need to apologize - I always appreciate visitors to my website sharing their personal experience! I bet your garden must be marvellous in June (or whenever daylilies bloom in Texas). |
| Claire Martin, near St.Louis | Jul 13, 2014 | So happy to have found your page. A friend, knowing I was digging out lots of a double orange, unnamed gorgeous but invasive plant, found your photo of Kwanso for me. Yep, that's the one. Now I can give the plants away free With a Name! In an 80' long driveway garden, Kwanso is trying to be in each and every other clump. Beautiful but pushy. |
