My Grandmother's Daylily brought all the way from Maine (Thanks Mom!). Does anyone know the cultivar? It would be from before the 80s. This daylily has a place of honor out front in the Roadside Shrub Border.

This is the first year ever that I've really appreciated the daylilies in my garden. This is probably the case because despite all the shade here these daylilies have finally gotten big enough to make a big show-and what a show it is here. I am trying to control the show though as I am slowly getting organized in the garden. My issue is that during each bloom season I am relocating and maneuvering plants around according to how the garden looks at that point. The problem with this method is that I can't possibly take into account how the garden looked two weeks earlier when something that may have gone dormant was blooming in that spot or how the garden will look two weeks later when something new is in bloom. Hence, I have flowers growing everywhere and have no idea what is what. One way I can easily organize my flowers are to post about them. This post is on daylilies. With pictures I can help to remember locations and even names of plants. This is always a good thing for me. Most of my daylilies are seedlings but a few are named varieties. All of the unknowns came from the Tin Barn in Trenton. Not all daylilies are posted here because not all are blooming. Mainly it is the tiny daylilies like 'Stella' and 'Going Bananas' and 'Itsy Bitsy' and a few others. If you perhaps recognize some of the unknowns please let me know what they might be so I can log it. Thanks.

Don't you just love daylilies?

Wow ~ What a crowd of beautiful daylilies. How wonderful to be able to go out and see them. I love the view of the countryside in your first picture too.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy and don't work too hard or too long out in the heat.
FlowerLady
Very beautiful blooms..... I love the dew drops on the petals..... It feels good & kinda soothing..... God Bless!!!!

The daylilies are lovely, but what I appreciate is being able to see some of the land around your garden from the first photo. How lucky you are to have such wide open, beautiful vistas.
ReplyDeleteI have never, never seen this many day lilies! Wow Tina. I don't even know what to say...except BEAUTIFUL!!!
ReplyDeleteThe fence is a perfect location for them and I love the countryside int he background. Ah, garden chess. I play it (and lose!) all the time. I was just thinking yesterday how my garden looks completely different now than it did two weeks ago. Plus, I keep expanding beds and things that were near the edges are now too tall or too short (depending on if it was previously a front or back edge) for the surrounding plants now. I have so many beds, however, I concluded that moving everything is my garden was just too much for me.
ReplyDeleteTina,
ReplyDeleteLovely collection! Makes a great show in larger clumps. We have 5-7 kinds spread out in the garden, I have got a few of them photographed this year.
Now that is a wealth of daylilies! You are rich indeed. Your grandmother's plant is the star of the show. I like the orange cosmos that showed up in the one photo. The seeds you gave me are living on in my garden. I'm working around this year's seedlings that popped up in the veggie patch.
ReplyDeletenice collection....white with dark center, pandora's box?
ReplyDeleteGood Morning All.
ReplyDeleteThat is quite a collection of Day lilies, Tina. I like them all. I only have 4 different kinds. There were orange ones {tall} that came with the house. I've tried to move some of them around to other beds. The other 3 will have to be put in front as they are short.
I really like the pic with surrounding area in it.
Hi Anonymous, Skeeter, Jean, Dawn & Nina.
I hope everyone has a lovely day.
Whatever they are they are very pretty.
ReplyDeleteNew to your blog. I love your daylilies, I'm addicted to their beauty. They do take up alot of space, but worth it. I love your blog and your gardens...
ReplyDeleteFlowerlady, Thanks! We are most blessed to have such a great spot for our home for sure.
ReplyDeleteAshkuku, Good morning! Glad you like the flowers. Those dew drops are nice indeed.
Les, We consider ourselves the most fortunate folks around. We have the best of both worlds with country and kind of a subdivision feel. I try my best to make good use of my neighbor's property and he doesn't' mind. Think daffodils planted back there and who knows where else I'll expand to. Good thing he's a nice guy. Hopefully we'll get to buy some of that land at some point directly behind our house. Then total awesome!! I'm thinking a huge sunny veggie garden. Thanks for dropping by.
Linda, So glad you like them all. I didn't realize I had so many and am finally appreciating them.
Monica, That is IT! Garden chess indeed. I hate it! I'll be doing it again today too but geez, what's wrong that I can't get it right? Too much work. Now expanding beds, I can understand that and that sounds like fun. Glad you like our view. It is mighty special.
Randy, Those daylilies tend to add up and I'm not sure why but they are all lovely in a garden.
W2W, So glad the cosmos are living on. I adore those guys too. I'm a hot color person though. It just showed up with that daylily and I said why not. Your blueberries look great!
Darla, I think you are right on Pandora's box. I'll go update it right away. Thanks!
Lola, Good morning! I bet daylilies do ever so great down in Florida. They are such easy plants every house should come with a few.
Dawn, Thanks!
Good morning, Tina. You have about as many noid daylilies as I do:) It was never important to me until I wanted a name to put with the photo on my blogs:)
ReplyDeleteLove the ruffly yellow one with the white rib below Pandora's Box!!! The white with the very pail lavender eye is very elegant.
I also found that blogs are handy for recording plants and locations. Just went back to last July to find the name of one of the daylilies ordered last year.
Marnie
You do have a lovely selection of these beauties in your garden Tina. I agree with Les, it must be nice to have such a large space to garden. Now I need to remember to add more of these to my garden this fall. I would love to have some purple & yellows for the Shed Garden. Hyperion looks like a good choice for this spot. :)
ReplyDeleteThey are all so darn pretty. The one from Nana's garden could have also been from the early to mid 80's. She gardened thru the 86 season.
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing day lily collection you have. Beautiful. Thank you for sharing them.
ReplyDeleteWow Tina, spectacular lilies -so many pretty colors!
ReplyDeleteI actually did some weeding this morning -it is a never ending battle with the back fenceline. But, I can notice that it looks prettier from the house, lol.
Hi Lola, Jean, Skeeter, Nina and Dawn -have a great summer day:)
Hello tina
ReplyDeleteReally surprised to find those stunningly beautiful daylilies! I have never seen such a gorgeous collection! And your country side is so lovely!
PS I like your Pot Man very much!
Hi Tina, I just LOOOOVVVVEEEE daylilies bothe whe named once and them without any name. WHy do we even bather to remember their names? It's the beauty of the flower that matters and I love all of them! Can hardly wait for mine to bloom again / gittan
ReplyDeleteHow nice to have an heirloom daylily from your family in Maine. You have so many beautiful daylilies. I can't pick a favorite from your photos--they are all winners!
ReplyDeleteGood afternoon everyone! I have been in the yard mowing and weeding today. Whew, it was another hot one but they say it will cool down soon. Calling for rain and hoping to get some as our grass looks so pretty and lush and I would like it to stay that way for the remainder of the summer. Dry grass is the pits to maintain....
ReplyDeleteI have a new love this year as well with the daylilies Tina! I started to add them last year then the huge batch that our neighbor gave us was added to the gardens. I love the things and in so many colors. I have no idea what half of mine are but as Gittan says, who cares what the name as long as we enjoy their beauty....
Time to go relax now, it has been a long hot sweaty day for me.....
Joyce, Hello and thanks for dropping by! It's always nice to 'meet' new to the blog bloggers. Love your blog too! And lucky you to live by the beach and have so much color in your gardens.
ReplyDeleteMarnie, For me my blog is definitely the go to thing to check out things. I seem to forget so fast that geez, it is really sad. I like the Noids but think I like the named ones a bit more too. I don't know but daylilies are all so fascinating that it's like wow on them all.
Racquel, If I had the choice for just one daylily it would probably be Hyperion. Hyperion is fragrant and very easy. it blends in everywhere and multiplies fast. It'd be great for your shed area. The countryside behind our property is awesome. I sneak over the fence and garden there-in a very small way but sure do love the fields in any state. We are lucky to have such a great site for sure. My garden is a bit bigger than normal suburban gardens in that it is one acre, but the view-ah the view.
Mom, I've tried to research it to no avail. It seems this kind of daylily is not real popular right now or not real common. At any rate it is my favorite due to its uniqueness. Its been blooming forever too! I'll still try to research it though.
GSS, Thanks! A little collection indeed. Funny how plants seem to add up after a while.
Anonymous, Good for you! I bet your back fenceline is looking mighty great. Those cedars growing well? Your garden is actually very pretty and it is thanking you for weeding-hard to do with all you do I know!
Sapphire, Hello! Glad you like the daylilies and surrounding area. Tennessee is a pretty nice place to live and garden. Never thought I'd say that...
Gittan, You are so right, names should not really matter-just the beauty. I agree totally. Your goatsbeard rocks!
Cameron, They are nice plants indeed but not deer resistant? I'm thinking here now. That heirloom is special indeed but I sure wish I knew its origin and what made my grandmother chose it.
Skeeter, You and Gittan are right on the names for sure. They are all beautiful. I knew you'd get hooked once your neighbor gave you such loveliles. Now go relax and get a good shower. Lower humidity here-yeah!
So lovely, named or not! My Stellas are blooming, and buds are popping out all over on my others. I can't wait for daylily season!
ReplyDeleteWhat a collection! You should visit the Middle TN Daylily Society and bring your photos. They may be able to identify them for you. They had a booth at the Nashville Lawn and Garden Show you could bring the photos there next year.
ReplyDeleteHi Tina, they are all lovely. I believe the red one with the bug in the Bathtub bed is Pardon Me that I shared with you and the others when we met at the restaurant with Gail a couple of years ago. Shorter in stature, long bloom period, green throat.
ReplyDeleteFrances
I am not able to comment under the open ID after ten tries. Will try something else.
Hey Tina. LOVE love love your pics! I am a sentimental girl so love your "Maine" transplant...keep those family ties going! Also your second pic is smashing! If I sweet talk you can you bring me some of each to a future plant swap?? LOL Thanks for posting your pics. I now realize I don't have nearly enough myself!! :)
ReplyDeleteTina, I love daylilies, and mine have just begun to bloom this week. Yours are beautiful. I see those red and yellow bicolor ones growing in gardens around my neighborhood in Maine, but I don't know their name. There seem to be several varieties that look like this but that grow in different parts of the season. I checked the list of bicolor plants at the Tranquil Lake Nursery website (http://www.tranquil-lake.com/catalog/Color/Bicolor.htm) and a couple of good possibilities might be 'Bicolor' and 'Gay Troubadour', both introduced in the 1940s. -Jean
ReplyDeleteThey're all beautiful, Tina, named or not. With all the thousands of cultivars out there, I couldn't put a name to any of them--except Stella, which seems to be instantly recognizable:) I added some new daylilies last year and tried to keep track of their names, but a few of their tags got lost, so now it's hopeless for me. Taking a photo record for yourself is a great idea.
ReplyDeleteI was looking at Randy and Jamie's daylily photos and a couple look like your noids. The yellow with white rib might be Sweet Southern and the double yellow might be Double River Wye. You could look them up and judge for yourself.
ReplyDeleteMarnie
VW, I seem to remember your beautiful daylilies so I'm looking forward to seeing them this year. I like the way you posted them by color.
ReplyDeleteDave, I'm thinking of joining them so enamoured am I of the daylilies this year. But may bring photos. I do not remember seeing them but will look for them next year.
Frances, I wasn't sure on 'Pardon Me' but have now logged it. Thank you so much and of course I remember the gift. I just couldn't remember where I planted it. Ha me! Sorry about the commenting thing. I haven't changed anything on this blog so not sure the problem. Have a great weekend!
Jennifer, You have quite a few daylilies too-and lovely ones too! The 'Highland Lord' was a very recent swap between a local friend and I. She got some hostas and bee balm. I think I got the best deal though as it is a keeper. Love the heirlooms too! Have a great weekend and we should definitely get together and swap but I don't plan on coming this fall:(
Jean, Thank you so much!! I was so wanted to identify my grandmother's daylily and you've pointed me in the right direction. Awesome to know the name!! I am leaning toward 'Gay Troubadour' but it might also be 'Howdy' on their website. Urgh! Wish I could definitively know but these are close enough and thank you so much for your help. I've not seen ANY of this type down here but can imagine they are fairly common up there. Regional differences again. Again many thanks and enjoy this weekend in Maine. We are right now having Maine weather-think low humidity and sunny blue skies. Love it!
Rose, I so agree. Do you know I get Stella confused with some other early bloomers? I am bad about this but know the little ones are cool indeed. I think this post is going to go a long way to help me. You have a great weekend.
Marnie, I'm going to go check it out soon. It would be so nice to have some identities but now the garden is calling me. Feeling much better today:)
Everyone have a fabulous and safe holiday weekend in case I don't say hi again before it.
That is a zillion daylilies Tina! I have zero so your numbers seem even more phenomenal. and I admit, they are very, very pretty and your photos are first rate too. I am really digging that first photo ~ with the pasture and hay bales in the background. It's so picturesque.
ReplyDeleteThat first picture with the view over the fence is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteYou've got so many Daylilies! I love how different they all are from each other. I just planted 'Pandora's Box' this year and hope the slugs will leave some flowers for me.
