Seedfork said:I would love to hear the reasoning on which ones are kept and which ones are let go. Wish we could get all those thoughts into the database, it would make very interesting reading.

That is a good idea. I will try to do that. Some have already left, so maybe tomorrow I can can go back and put comments in.

I just want something toothy!

I have Yuma, an older toothy that I was considering getting rid of because it just never looked very good here and I was beginning to think my climate was wrong for the toothiness ' is that a word?' to show. Well it must have read my mind, because when it bloomed this year, it was gorgeous. And toothy! Took four years here to do it's thing, but it did. I'm no longer thinking about getting rid of it.

The ones I got rid of completely were just because my tastes have changed. I want more tall daylilies (over 32") and just want a change of scenery.

I thought one club member was going to be clobbered when she said she got rid of Ruby Spider, lol! WHY??? She said she just wanted something different

Welcome Charlemayne and onekindacowboy!

Teresa, another great thread idea though looking at all of these beauties isn't going to help my pocketbook!

A couple of mine aren't named yet. These are possible intro's coming from Dan Hansen.


These are also his but have been introduced:
Planetary Conversion, Tessa Ann and Twin Souls


I know this is more than 5 but.......from Nancy Eller I'd love to get
High and Dry & World Gone Wild


The last one is by David Kirchhoff, a red called Sister Valerie. I haven't been able to stop thinking about it and it's scape since I saw it at Daylily World a couple of weeks ago.

Lisa - That whole top row of your wants is amazing! Wow! I want them, too! Love the bloom shapes and all that patterning and ruffles! Those are unlike any I've seen before! Thanks for sharing those awesome blooms! I like all the ones you posted, but those first 3 are outstanding!

Holy Moly look at the buds! So do you have some of Dan's or just wishing for those? Nice ones!

I am impressed with Nancy Eller's double with a green throat!

Becky, you take the top row and I'll take the middle row I really like Tessa Ann!!!!

Leslie, is that one called a UF double? That is pretty neat!

Vickie - I definitely agree! I love that top row of blooms. But I do agree that Tessa Ann is a beaut!

Thanks for all the kind words.

I don't have any of those yet, Teresa, but they're on my list. As long as we're wishing I'm wishing big!

Yes, I think the green throated one would be an UF dbl. I know the pink would be.

Leslie, I am coming around to doubles. I planted Vanilla Fluff beside Milk Chocolate this morning. Sounds yummy doesn't it!

Yahoo! Good girl.

You will not believe this list. Implausibility to use with Ed Murray seedlings, Orchid Corsage to try for more EM seedlings- I can't tell if these are diploid but they are difficult. I did get some seeds with a known tet with an Ed Murray X Orchid Corsage seedling. Saratoga Springtime to try with my seemingly impossible early eyed daylilies. Weedy
pod and pollen nearly impossible


one shriveled seed pod but the parent of above eye


no seeds in ten years, all fell off this year

THAT is so sad. I would be heart-broken. I got into daylilies for the hybridizing and would be so bummed out if that happened to me.

Do you have any others yet to bloom that you could keep trying?

This is my number 1 want, for newer Daylilies, I am anxiously waiting until its price enters my budget. I am hopeful that I can find Cherokee Beauty to hold me over, until Red Edition finds its way into my price range.



I hope that using these images is OK.

Well, when it comes to daylilies with some red .... my dream daylily is Bullfrog Kisses:


But I am in the same boat as you, Gale .... not in my budget range and probably won't be for a long time!

GDJCB,
Yes all the images in the database can be freely used here for purposes just like this, it is a great feature.

Larry- Thanks, good to know.

Becky- I have seen and wanted Bullfrog Kisses as well. I received Bullfrogs and Butterflies for a bonus this year, and the first thing I saw on the tag was Bullfrogs and I felt like I had hit a jackpot at the casino, then I saw the Butterflies. From the pictures it looks to be a nice Daylily, but I must admit a feeling of loss even though I never actually had Bullfrog Kisses.

That was a teaser bonus plant!
