Dug up "remnant" Day lilies.

This is easier than posting separately so here goes.
These were dug up pieces after the collection went. They were dug up after weed suppressing membrane was removed and pieces started to come through. I got quite good at spotting the leaves among the grass although it was over a period of quite a few months. Two “hiccups” so far that turned out to be something else, one a carex and one looking like it could be an Agapanthus.
There are quite a few although some look the same.
I don’t know if any were seedlings as some have some extra bits in the centre that don’t look quite right somehow.
Some have the frilly edges, some are dark and some are pastel shades.
I’m amazed that they survived and now, nearly two years later, they are starting to flower.
The flower in the last photo is a really strange shape but I really like the next one.
If I’ve repeated the pics I apologise but there are so many that I started seeing double!

The two non identical twins are amazing as is the one with your hand in the photo.
Two from last, I saw one similar called Strawberry Candy?

Oh wow! Love these. Image 10 is stunning.
(We have three pots of lilies in a greenhouse and the stems are about six feet tall!!!)

I haven't had problems removing daylilies. I do it in the fall, and then I can see if something regrows before I plant that area again in the spring. Then once I plant, the weeds use that as a signal to start growing - even with mulch.

They're gorgeous ! I didn't think there were such beautiful ones to be had.

Thorney, do you think the first might be Darkest Night, an unregistered British bred Daylily?

Thanks everyone. Siris, I don't know but it's very dark as is another which is similar but not the same. I'll have a look when I get the chance.

If you haven't tried it, go to the AHS Daylily Database and try an Advanced Search. There you can put in the parameters of the flower, hit search at the bottom and see which ones are closest to what you have. It is also excellent for finding out registered offspring of a cultivar to see what it has done - I use it a lot.
