hello everyone

Hi my names Kathy new to the site, I have quite a large garden,3rd acre, started from scratch 10 years ago,apart from small wooded area, love growing from seed and cuttings but my real obsession are hemerocallis have 138 different varieties, always room for one more though as long as there's still grass to dig up,lol.

 

Hi

Glad you introduced yourself but 1st was to answer mine

look forward to you being being my day lily mentor:thumb:

I wonder if any one else can beat 138

Only 25 , but I will soon catch up £££ or maybe not why do I always go for the expensive ones without looking at the price.

Armandii has had one of his for over 20 years now thats value for ££££

Hi Simbad,

Welcome to Gardeners Corner.

 

Hello Simbad - and very welcome.
As the others have said there are several members here very interested in Haemorocallis
but you could come and be our resident expert
I grow a few myself, but nowhere near your quantity.
What's your "must have" variety.

 

Two that I want are:



Irresistable and Irresitable Rainbow



Spruce

 

Hello there and Welcome,

 

Thanks for the welcome everyone.
Alice just must have them all, I have such a long wish list there are sooo many to choose from, but have seen one recently that I've just got to have, 'Ledgewoods Calico Blues', so keeping my eye open for that, but one of my all time favourite has got to be one of my first ever daylilies 'Tide Line'.
Ooo just googled yours Spruce Irresistable Rainbow's gorgeous

 

Simbad, very, very impressive! Welcome!

I'm also new to the forum, but I will follow your posts (and especially photos)!

I only have 4 varieties for now: Hemerocallis fulva, another orange double-flowered one, Crimson Pirate and Strawbery Candy. This year I will definitely enrich my collection with Stella d'Oro and Blue Eyes...

But yours must look like a fairy tale scene!

 

Glad you like it but who has it or is it not in the Uk YET ?



Spruce

 

Thanks for the welcome Angelina glad you like the photos, lots more to add yet,lovely varieties you have there the double orange one you have, is yours 'Kwanso'?, one of my favourites very pretty, yes June and July does look lovely when the daylilies are all flowering have a lot of them in a huge bed, getting bigger all the time, take over half an hour to dead head every day one of the jobs I actually love.[hr]

Sorry Spruce I haven't seen it for sale in the UK yet, I bought one similar last year 'Lady Betty Fretz' which is one of the parents to 'Iresistible Rainbow' the colourings slightly different but still lovely, I bought it from www.sddaylilies.co.uk for £12 he did have it on ebay a few days ago don't know if the listings finished yet under, starting price £7.99!!!!

 

Thanks will have a nose , how you missed my pleading hands is a mystery:D

Have you Egytian queen as I may be getting hold of that one , what do you think also I find out tommorow about jellyfish jeolousy if I can have or not
Just noticed on the snap dragon site Lady Betty Fretz , looks fab , I will soon catch up with you £££ here we go , have a plant sale we will all call round

Just seen your pleading hands Spruce very good, no I don't have Egyptian Queen, do have Moonlit Masquerade though which I see is one of the parents so if its anything like that one it'll be good, flowers for ages here, hope you can have Jellyfish Jealousy its a beauty, mine isn't big enough to split yet still only 2 fans or we could have done a bit of swapping, I sold quite a lot of divisions of my older varieties on ebay last year sold them 5 for £10+ postage they went like hot cakes, made quite a bit of money, but just spent it on more still they didn't cost me anything worth thinking about when yours get bigger, good way to fund a habit.
