Default My daylily collection

Well, its a small collection right now but they are quite unusual I think. These are my summer hobby besides bonsai/mini lanscape, and I am in the process of hybridyzing these.

Shakkai, I can't wait until next year for my first one to flower! but I didn't record the parentage on any of my seedlings. There was a really nice red one from thelocal grower, but it was on his "DO NOT SELL" list and he already let me buy one from his list so I dont think he would let me have two of them. Dorothy, those do look alot alike but I think yours might be bigger and more rufflled like the little yellow in my first photo (not very clear though).I really like that third one, it's like the perfect triple flower!

Oh!! please join in with us if you have any daylily photo's!

That third one of Dorothy's is a species. H. fulva 'Kwanso' - which also comes in a variegated foliage form. Unfortunately, it is believed to be sterile as its a triploid type. (All the hybrids are either diploid or tetrapoid.)

Tim, not sure how far you are from Lebanon, OH - but a trip to Valley of the Daylilies may be worth your while. Dan Bachman has some wonderful daylilies.

WOW Shakkai! that first one is so beautiful. I have a spider type that I forgot to put on here but it looks just like your fourth photo, called 'Jersey spider'.

Yes .. now that I see the photos close up together .. there is a difference .. oh pooh ..
There are multitudes of the triples growing here .. more than most years
I have had quite a nice run of the 4th photo .. that large pink and white ornamental hybrid .. I don't think it's a daylily per se' but it is a lily
That second one just popped out of nowhere .. I love those unexpected surprises
