Had several of my Wild's plants blooming this morning, but will just post these two.
One I have been waiting for, 'Lime Frost':
FFO


Lavender Stardust was absolutely beautiful this morning.


I just can't say enough about how this plant has come along in such a short while, to have such a display of blooms is fantastic for me. The only one of my March order of Wild's plants that has not bloomed yet is Awesome Blossom, it is still lagging way behind and I am not sure it will even bloom this year.

Love that Lavender Stardust!

OMG yeah on Lavender Stardust. In three years I've never had four blooming at one time on a DF! I'll have to check out its offspring to see if there is a semi- or evergreen available.

I took pictures of all of the root systems for the different daylilies I ordered, and uploaded them. They are tagged under their name in the data base. @chalyse

I saw your amazing photos of the root systems, what a great addition to the database! And, many of those cultivars will be first-time photos to build their database pages with. Lots of great choices for filling in a daylily garden, too! Looking forward to the blooms.

I am glad to be able to add to the database. I hope these photos help others. I know some of the photos on here have helped me with ID and ideas. I plan to add more daylilies or lilies to my flower beds later this summer/fall or next spring. I'll post pictures of the roots when I get new plants. I can't wait to see the blooms either. Everyone's pictures have made me anxious and excited to see mine bloom next year.

Reading this thread has given me hope for my GHW daylilies. I ordered a few cultivars from them last year...Lavender Stardust, Putting It Mildly, Strutter's Ball, Jedi Free Spirit, and Bold Tiger. The Lavender Stardust and Jedi Free Spirit did not bloom last year or this year. Of the four Bold Tiger planted only two bloomed. I must say that the rootlets were the smallest I had seen. I was surprised that any of them made it through the winter. I emailed customer service and was issued a credit. I used the credit to order Carolina Pansy Face and Bestseller. The fans were very small again, but to my surprise the Bestseller has a scape and a small bud. The bonus plant sent was Rosy Returns and looked completely dead...just brownsticks and a few roots, but it has started to have a few green shoots. Not sure if I would order from them again, but they did stand by their product as the guarantee is for a year.

But that can be a problem when their guarantee is a year, but the plant takes two to three years to bloom. If it doesn't bloom true to its name, I guess you are just out of luck? Their guarantee must only be for the plant thriving, not if it's true to name, as most Daylily growers guarantee.I've gotten some big healthy looking fans from other growers that did well as soon as it got planted and bloomed much sooner, and i paid the same and sometimes less than what Wilds sells theirs for. I don't buy from them anymore.

Joy, you are absolutely right. The ones that I had didn't thrive so I don't know if they are correctly named or not. Since I"m new to the daylily party it may have been me, but the fans or rootlets were very very small to start with. The fans that I received this season from Maryotts' Garden were big and healthy. I understand that since Maryott's is in California, they may not stay as large in my zone, but there was no comparison to the GHW plants. I'm with you...I'm not planning to order from them again.

I think it would be fun to see a G.H. Wild plant grown next to one of the beautiful huge Maryott plants after two or three years in the garden. I have several of the G.H. Wild plants, anyone want to send me one of their new Maryott plants for a trial? Didn't really think that would work! Darn.

I am in no way suggesting that one of the tiny plants from G.H. Wild would be able to compete with the Maryott plant. I think newbies tend to buy from G.H. Wild then graduate to the higher quality more expensive (especially with freight if you live on the east coast) plants. I think that is mainly because in getting started the Wild catalogs and the web site are the first source we find for daylilies. We don't know the difference in one daylily from another, but we learn as we go. The Wild plants teach us a lot as we grow them to maturity, I actually love growing the little plants up to full size.

lol...maybe I'm just too impatient. I want to plant today and bloom tomorrow. I was shocked to see Bestseller has a scape and bloom...this was ordered from Gilbert H Wild a few weeks ago. I can't wait to see what if it really is Bestseller

If their prices were just $1 Or 2, yes. Fun to nurture and watch it grow. But their prices have gone up like everything else has. And unless it's a complete steal, I'd rather get some faster results with my money. For a time I was collecting old Wild cultivars. So buying from them made sense to me, especially when I couldn't find one elsewhere. But I had a few plants that didn't bloom what they were suppose to be after waiting years to see it for the first time. That was very disappointing.

Well, GHW has done it again. The cutivar BESTSELLER was not BESTSELLER. The bloom was white rather than lavender, as pictured on the website. I contacted customer service again, and they sent me another 'BESTSELLER'....we'll see what it turns out to be. The invoice had a note stating 'make sure this is BESTSELLER'. Now I'm thinking...that is your job to make sure the correct plant is sent. How the heck am I suppose to tell by looking at a plant with four leaves whether it 's the correct cultivar or not....the nerve of them.

they have been rather obnoxious to me in the past, and the customer service is poor. I will never order anything from them again.

the note was probably written on the invoice by the one who took the order for the one who packed the box...not for you.

wait a second...Bestseller is not a daylily, is it? Cause I can't find it in the AHS database anywhere. Is this an Asiatic Lily we're talking about -- Lily (Lilium 'Bestseller') ?. Thought Wilds was pulling a fast one on you for a moment...but then realized you may mean something other than a daylily that you had ordered from them.

Is this the daylily you were supposed to get?

"Best Seller" isn't in any database, that name wouldn't even be allowed with AHS. (I'm pretty sure)
It's probably some hybridizers nice daylily that got re-named.

It is a nice one, and I'm sure someone on here would know the registered name of it

Sounds like Wilds.

Rob, I couldn't find it in the AHS database either. I had a credit to use and chose Best Seller, because of the lavender color and the cream frilly edge. What they initially sent was a cream cultivar. I'm not sure what the replacement will turn out to be as it has not bloomed and I don't think it will this late in the season.
