A-Z( with a few missing) of my favourite hemerocallis

I only have 6 and I thought I had a lot. golden zebra is a nice one that i have got too,

Beautiful Kathy, you have some beauties. Your Dad would be so proud.

Good blog Simbad. I love them all.

Thanks for showing 'Golden Zebra' - that would look good in my yellow border

Ooohh!! Some beauties in there, Simbad! :-)))

I like them all :o)

You have a beautiful collection there Kathy , I would find it difficult to chooses a favourite :o)

Your photos are wonderful and your collection must be incredible.

Thanks to you i have started my own collection, a fraction of yours in size, but i'm so looking forward to watching them develop this year :-)))

I really like daylilies, with their amazing colours and variety names. A new one in our garden this year will be H. "Crimson Pirate". I like the name "Tide Line"!

:-))

Thanks everyone glad you like them is hard to choose my favourites, do have quite a few SBG over 100 at last count, trying to resist but then keep getting catalogues through the post, also think I've got a twitch in my hand and accidently click on e-bay,lol.
My Dad would have loved my collection Dawn first one I ever got was given to me by him don't know variety but still a favourite.
Would look good in your yellow border Andrew, just love the foliage on that one.
Oh Louise thankyou, glad I've converted you ,lol, look forward to seeing pictures of your collection :-)
There are some strange names aren't there David bought one last year called 'Bellybutton' can see why though its a browny colour and a bit wrinkly at the edges,lol, 'Crimson Pirate' is one I don't have have seen it though lovely red, 'Tide Line' is lovely have sold divisions of that many times on e-bay never fails to sell, there are a few real beauties on e-bay at the moment trying not to look as the ones I have my eye on are £30 and a £50 have to sell a few divisions of mine first.

They are gorgeous...thanks for sharing your pics. Are all these varieties scented by any chance? I've just started a new GoYpedia page. "Scented Flowers"....and if they were all scented....I could just pop your blog in......If not.....could you possible post the scented ones in the picture gallery so I can pic therm up from there.....Thanks xx

Like all of them hard to pick a fav....

all lovely simbad and even though i like to see them im not sure i could grow something thats only there for a day, i would be so upset :o)) lol you have some pretty ones though

I like them all, some more than others, but Malaysian Monarch is a real showstopper!

Amblealice not all these are scented will sort out the ones that are and post pictures :-)
Thanks Clarice:-)
Bit misleading really Sanbaz because even though each flower only lasts a day there are always loads of buds so can flower for quite a long time, and quite a lot rebloom, such tough plants never had one die, not fussy about soil, grow in sun or part shade, not bothered by many pests, although gall midge can be a problem for earlier flowering ones.
Thanks Karen I love that one too :-)

really well that doesnt sound as bad so maybe i will try them, thanx simbad ;o)

Thanks Simbad.......

Yes San! They are really pretty and they flower very profusely. I only have one at the moment, because they do take up quite a lot of room as they spread out, but I would definitely miss having the one I have as it's really cheery. Don't know what it's called but it's one of the purplish ones.

thanx karen i will get one i think, only one though if they spread.

Simbad, where do you get them....can you recommend a good mail order specialist?

Have had some fab plants from petalpower67plants and snapdragonplants on e-bay have to keep your eye open for petalpower as she doesn't always have plants on there but has some really unusual varieties, when she has some for sale will post on here,never had a wrong plant from either, also www.polliesdaylilies.co.uk lovely lady very friendly excellent size plants, www.applecourt.co.uk and www.dorset-perennials.co.uk are all excellent suppliers happy browsing :-)

Thanks! I remembered I actually have two pure lemon yellow ones in the front garden as well...so that makes three!

I started off with just a couple too Karen have 106 now,lol, so beware very addictive.
Just remembered petalpower67plants does have a website, don't think she sells from it but will give you a taste of some of the gorgeous varieties she lists on ebay its www.daylilies.org.uk :-)

Lovely - I like the one you have on this avatar, it's a lovely colour!...right I'm off to do something, I feel like I'm getting drawn in to daylilies! must resist....must resist.....:)

Lol, one of my favourites too Karen 'Malaysian Monarch' that was from petalpower67plants last year, only a couple of fans at the moment so too small to split or you could have had a piece, will see how it multiplies this year some are more vigorous don't know about this one yet :-)

Ah, thanks simbad! I hope it comes beautiful this year!

they are stunning arent they

Great blog Simbad and such a temptingly huge choice. I only have two at the moment (dumortieri and Lilioasphedelus) but I'm sure I can fit (a scented) one of a different colour in somewhere. :-))

Karensusan just thought Id let you know the ebay seller I buy from a lot has quite a few listings at the moment (petalpower67plants) and she has listed the one you liked malaysian monarch, starting price £2, bidding on a couple myself:-)

I have just gone out and counted my lovely Day lillies this cold sunny morning.I think there are 14-15. My only really classy one is Strawberry Candy. I like Corky/i and Frans Hals. The rest are bits taken when I helped people with their gardens in the past, with permission, when I liked the flower. They have to hold their own amid a riot of self sown spring bulbs,aubretias, alliums, apple trees, wandering yellow corydalis, bonariensis, the odd rose bush,tree peony, spirea, eryngium planum. Blue bells are in charge at the moment. They don't get in amongst the day lillies though. My 'island bed' is J shaped and 9 feet by 40. Lovely blog Sinbad.

Thanks Dorjac:-)
Your garden sounds lovely, will have a look at your pictures later, I have Corky and Frans Hals too, not Strawberry Candy though.
Just bought two more daylilies this week,which means I now have 111 oops, I have to keep a plan of where they all are as the magpies have a habit of pulling all the labels out,daylily bed will have to be extended,again, should maybe just dig up all the grass,lol.
