Annual Day Lily Post

 
Above, I think this is a seedling cross of 'Butterscotch Ruffles' and 'Elizabeth Salter'. 
In this garden the Hemerocallis flowers commence just as the first flush of roses completes.  I could not have planned that better--how clever I would be if I actually had planned it.
'Elizabeth Salter':  
 It is a let down when the April roses are all dead-headed and left to prepare for round two in late May--it feels like the Spring party is over.  But when the daylillies start to bloom, the party isn't over at all.  It continues.

'Bella Sera'

The exquisite little 'Janice Brown':




'Bella Sera':
'Sabine Bauer':
'Space Coast Starburst':

And when the Hemerocallis take a break, the roses are ready to bloom again.  How cool is that?

    1. Thanks! The purest colors (pure yellow, orange, purple) are my favorites. The ones with muddy colors not so much.

  3. Beautiful display. Even without captions, it's fun to guess their names or the names of their near kin.

    1. I got lazy and didn't put the names. Tired from gardening! ;^)

  4. It's very cool! I have loads of daylilies, too. I'm always forgetting their names but they don't hold it against me. :)

    1. They are so cheerful. The foliage grooming is sometimes tedious, but the new flowers every day with their fresh perfection always renewed is fun, isn't it?

  5. As eerie as roses in March -- daylilies in May! So chilly here today that it feels like late spring (peonies, roses) will never arrive, let alone summer. Came frighteningly close to a frost last night, but hovered just above. Blackberry winter indeed...

    Daylilies here don't think about starting until the second half of June; this should be a great year for them because of all the rain. I'm partial to solid, intense colors and small blooms like 'Pardon Me' and 'Little Grapette', but am in the market for a very tall, near-white "spider" type to lighten up a purple-y area.

    1. I guess I should not mention day lily flowers blooming until Thanksgiving. Consider that unmentioned. 'Janice Brown' is a great small-flower day lily. The flower always looks so pristine--here, anyway. A near-white spider sounds great! 'Heavenly Angel Ice'?
