TGIF! A big thanks to Tootsie, http://tootsietime.blogspot.com/, for hooking us up with Fertilizer Friday! To my wonderful friends who've gotten to know me through this blog, you know that I am emphatically in love with daylilies! So I'm dedicating this Fertilizer Friday post to my favorite bloom. Each clump is lovingly tended to with magic blue crystals and daily whispers of love...yes, sad, but true..lol! Don't you talk to your plants? These are just a few from my growing collection.
Miracle-Gro does wonders...me thinks! An example is the amazing growth on this 'Wineberry Candy'. With 7-way branching and endless buds...
this is how she blooms everyday for weeks!

'Siloam Double Classic'..
First bloom on 'Catherine Neal' yesterday. Those who love Bela Lugosi...this one is even darker! 
'Love Those Eyes' is a great name for this vibrant combination.
''Moonlit Masquerade'...I love the scape height on this and the dark contrasting eye...new this year but surely becoming a...you said it..favorite!
'Elizabeth Salter'...I'm amazed at how huge these blooms are.

A pass-along from Renee, is 'Glowing Delight'. 
Strutting her stuff...'Strutter's Ball'! Opens in a rich, deep burgundy and holds her color pretty well throughout the day.

Late afternoon...Also two views of 'Chance Encounter'...
A new addition last fall, 'Night Embers' has stolen my heart! Bud count not as high as I'd hoped but with only 2 young fans, the blooms are breath-taking. Not shown clear here, but there's a white edge around the ruffled petals.
And living up to her name...'Bright Sunset' rounds off the list today.

I love day lillies too but for some reason we have NEVER done them in the greenhouse :( Maybe we should add them into one of our planters this year!
ReplyDeleteWow! so many different & Beautiful Lilies! love the burgundy colors, Happy FF!

Breath taking! I love daylilies. Mine are done for the year so its wonderful to see some that are still blooming!!! Happy FF to you!!!!
ReplyDeleteooooohhhh your daylilies are GORGEOUS!
ReplyDeleteI'm a daylily fan myself. Yours are gorgeous! I bet talking to them helps - I talk to all my plants. Neighbors think I'm nuts! LOL -Jackie
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! It's amazing how many varieties there are. 'Chance Encounter' is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteWell heck, if mine looked like yours I'd be in love with them too!! Gorgeous...I will post the seeds that I have for trade when the time gets closer. Of course you can have Datura seeds, my pleasure!!
ReplyDeleteOh yes your daylilies are wonderful! I'll have to look for that Night Embers it is truly beautiful. Thanks for sharing, Esther
ReplyDeleteTamara, I have alot of daylilies still in pots as I'm deciding where to place them..they are easy that way! In a mixed container would be a great idea!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting, Cathy! I love the dark colored daylilies too!
Jackie, that's ok if the neighbors think I'm nuts..they're right! Bandit sends a birthday paw to Ellie Mae!
Cindee and DP, thanks, girls! Cindee, are some of yours re-bloomers? I have some late bloomers that are just sending up scapes now :)
All your blooms look fabulous but I am esp. enchanted with your photo of the Siloam Double Classi. How pretty!
ReplyDeleteI talk to my flowers too but they do not like the lecture I give them, nor the threats I give the wisteria. It all falls on deaf vines ;-) I have been known to beg them to "please grow" though.Your lilies are so gorgeous.I am working on mine though. I love the pinks and burgundy's. The 'Chance Encounter'is gorgeous,also the 'Siloam Double Classic and 'Strutter's Ball'. Just beautiful.I have to write their names down ;-)
ReplyDeleteHaha, Lona, you too? Mostly a 'thank-you for being so beautiful' but, yeah, sometimes harsh comments (very unlady-like) are screamed at the weeds! Chance Encounter was one of my first daylilies and the reason why I love daylilies so..she is beautiful all the time!
ReplyDeleteLynn, the daylilies are so beautiful. Do you pluck them and decorate it in your home? Does the deer eat daylilies?
ReplyDeleteHi Lynn, these are excellent. Wineberry Candy is going on the want list. My daughter Semi has all the Candy ones and loves them. We only have Strawberry Candy and it is a profuse bloomer too. Thanks for the tip on Cathine Neal, good for the black garden. Semi has Moonlit Masquerade too. You have the same taste in daylilies it seems. :-)

I have never had a day lily! But I do see some in your garden that would make me very happy to have! What gorgeous shots of such pretty blooms! I am so glad you linked up this week...as always! have a good weekend!
ReplyDeleteTHose make me want to go and get some new varieties to add to my daylillies. They are just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLynn, the bright sunset is amazing! Lovely flower. Everything is just so beautiful... beyond words. Oh, remember to enjoy the weekend!
ReplyDeleteYour daylilies are stunning!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting me, Lynn. Finding your blog couldn't have been better timing--I am going to visit a daylily farm this week with a good friend and hope to come home with enough to satisfy my serious case of daylily envy:) You have some beauties here; it's always great to get recommendations from another gardener.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful daylily blooms! Love them all. 'Moonlight Masquerade' was one of the first to bloom in our garden and still has a few blooms left. It just kept going and going! ~~Rhonda
ReplyDeleteWhat a variety of flowers. So colorful and Beautiful. Love it.
ReplyDeleteCheers!
I love dayliles, too. Yours are amazingly beautiful! I can't pick a favorite.
ReplyDeleteThose are some gorgeous daylilies Lynn!
ReplyDeleteLooks like the Daylillies are loving the regular fertilizing schedule. Gorgeous! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Lynn;
ReplyDeleteI'm loving your daylily pictures! The last one on this page, Bright Sunset, is one we added a couple years ago. It's been around since the late 70's so I guess we're slow on the draw.
When I first saw it bloom, I kind of asked what's the big deal but I have to say that when this reaches clump size, it will really catch your attention. The large bloom size and the fragrance make you stop.
Yesterday we had a whole row of Chicago Arnie's Choice bloom and it reminded me of how Bright Sunset appears so much stronger when mature plants bloom compared to a single plant. Leebea Orange Crush is making the same statement for us this morning. Daylilies are great plants! Thanks for writing and for giving us some great pictures to look at and enjoy!.

I love daylilies too & have some of the varieties you've photographed! I will have to get Night Embers ~ love it! I've been very bad about remembering to fertilize but you've inspired me to become more vigilant about it. Gorgeous photos!!
ReplyDeleteThose flowers are AMAZING!
ReplyDeleteoh my, I think you got me started with daylilies, i have a few right now but I have to keep up spraying them with a home concoction because deer love them too.
