Some from yesterday:

BARRACUDA BITE


LUCK BE A LADY


RASPBERRY PRISM


TAVARES LEMON LIME - The color is better on this one. I think the last bloom was too light.


LINDA TOUCHSTONE

First daylily bloom of the year!
I think it might a species daylily.
Anyone know what it is?

I don't know, but looking at the bud I would have been surprised by the yellow flower.

A few more blooms:
A much prettier Red Apparition Bloom than yesterdays:


The FFO on Jolyene Nichole:


NOids:

Jolyene Nichole is such a pretty daylily. If memory serves, that was named for Calif_Sue granddaughter.

Wow, I didn't know that, I also have a daughter named Nichole.

I do too...but its just Nicole.

I love the bloom on Joylene N but at 14 inches tall with a 6 in bloom I thought it look a bit odd.

Ashton your daylily does look like a species that I have called Middendorfii. Not sure I spelled that correctly.

You all have some wonderful April flowers and I just thought I would let you all droll for a few minutes

kidfishing, I don't know what you daylily is but it is beautiful! Love the second photo of it showing the back of the sepals.

I think that it is H. Dumortieri:

beckygardener said:Ashton/Terry - I have over 300 seedlings. I lost count last year. LOL! Some were seeds I won on the LA but most were shared wth me by 3 members here, and of course I created many of my own crosses from existing seedlings. I had wanted Paper Butterfly because of the genes (and I saw all the children it has produced), but I can't always tell which cultivars show resistance to rust. I've read conflicting information on many cultivars concerning rust. Regardless, I really am attracted to the unknown genetics of seedlings. I have one currently that was so-so last year when it bloomed. Beautiful blooms, but not many buds. This year it has 3 and perhaps more scapes and just loaded with buds. It is a cross of Stippled Statement with unknown pollen parent. It is my favorite one so far of all that I have grown. When it starts blooming I will post a photo on the April Seedling Blooms thread. That one is MY cup of tea! I got the seed from Sandi (seedsower).

I have found as you mentioned very reasonably priced daylilies on the LA and elsewhere, but the shipping is a deal-killer for me on many of them. I am not cheap, I am on a very tight budget annually for my gardens. So seeds work out the cheapest for me. Even if I only get a few worthwhile crosses, they multiple and can be planted around my yard in other places in the future. I will eventually cull many of my seedlings because of the rust issue, but it sure is fun to see what you get from seeds!

I got paper butterfly last year,can't wait for it to bloom.
I don't buy daylilies off LA unless shipping is included like a box full I just bought" LANDSCAPE SPECIAL 30 Fans" total $30
That $1 or $2 added to each plant shipped is a deal breaker for me.Wish they would just up the price of each plant instead or do flat rate.

I was thinking H. Dumortieri or H. minor.

You could be right about that. Here is my H. Middendorfii.
