2010 - Only been here for one season, but it seems like a very strong grower, increaser and bloomer. Scapes are wonderful. I am really looking forward to bloom season to see what this baby can really do. The flower is very waxy and looks sturdy. Loving it so far.

2010 - This is a subtle beauty, but so far, it does not seem to be a strong grower for me. I am hoping it comes back this year. If it does, I'll be moving it to one of the primo spots in the garden to see if it can perform better for me. I love the flowers, so I'll try, try, try some more.

While I love the combination of colors in this daylily, it seems to be a very poor grower for me and I usually only get a few (as in 3-5) buds. The flowers also seem flimsy, and lack substance. I moved this daylily last fall hoping for better performance.

This is one of the only true pink on pink flowers I have seen. The eye/edge combination is fantastic, and the pink is indescribable. Flower has a ton of substance. The branching, so far, has left something to be desired, but I am hoping this plant settles in and behaves better! :o) Flowers consistently open perfectly, no hanging on that beautiful edge.

What a strange little flower this is. Always changing its face from day to day. Sometimes I just love it and want to keep it forever and ever. It has the most beautiful blend of lavender, blues, violets and greys. Other days I think I must be crazy for loving this plant... what was I thinking? Weird muddled colors, and all browny-grey looking. It is a good grower and increaser. It also blooms its little head off all season long. It is like the energizer bunny!

**UPDATE - 4/13/11** I contacted Dan Hansen to see how much it would be to replace this beauty because I really loved the form and substance, not to mention the lovely coloring... and he replaced it for me! Yippee!!! He sent four giant fans too! Planted it in my new bed...
3/20/11 - LOST THIS PAST WINTER IN OUR HARD FREEZE! I got one bloom season, and only this one picture. It was SO beautiful, and I am really bummed! :o( I wanted it to be part of my breeding program because the background is so clean and the form is beautiful. Waaaaa.....
Fall 2009 - Brand new one from Dan Hansen. Purchased at the Region 6 Daylily Auction. What a beautiful daylily. Can't wait to see it bloom this year.

4/13/11 - I love this little flower, but it really suffered with this past cold winter. It has reduced itself to tiny grass-like fans. I hope it does well, I moved it to the front of the new bed to be a border plant!
2009 - This is one of the cutest minis on the planet. Not only is it a strong grower, but just look at that face! I know there are no all blue daylilies yet, but Grace sure does have a the blue eyes down. It can range from a very light blue-violet to an intense indigo blue. Just amazing. Great foliage, and the scapes are in proportion to the flowers and foliage. Great overall plant.

4/13/11 - Moved to the new bed in the front for a border plant. Can't wait to see how it blooms now!
2009 - One of my cutest minis! But I probably say that about all of them. :o) I really love how the denim blue eye has a dark violet-blue edge. It really makes the eye pop out of the flower. Vigorous grower in my yard, if not extremely floriferous. It is in the "not so good" soil bed, so I will have to move it to give it another shot.

2009 - Just arrived in my yard, and it tried to bloom on its one little fan... Did a good job, but I can't wait to see it really go to town this year. As you can see, all the pollen is gone. I wanted to hybridize with it, but didn't want to stress it out by making it a pod parent in its first year.

2009 -Wow, wow, wow. This one got a lot of press (and still does) and now I know why. What an awesome performer. The flowers are held up on thick scapes with terrific branching. The flowers themselves open perfectly every time and have a thick, wax like substance that really makes them just stand up and shout "Look at me!!" Yes, the flower is small, but sometimes good things come in small packages. I also noticed that I get sculpting in the throat sometimes (as shown in the photo).

2009 - Another new flower to the garden, but I think I am going to love this one. It is very different in color from the other flowers I grow, but I just couldn't resist the beautiful combination of colors. There are some great pictures by Chris (maximus7116) over on the Garden Web of this flower. I can't wait until mine 'grows up', and has more saturated colors.

2009 - While this flower has been in the yard for a few years, it has yet to really strut its stuff. The blooms are gorgeous, I just have not gotten that many of them. The colors are bubble gummy good... just like the name suggests. The color pallet is a reverse of BALLERINA BEAUTIFUL, but without the edge.

2010 - I am not sure if it made it through this winter. If it comes back, I am going to move it. It is such a unique beauty! I have hybridized with it, and I can't wait to see the results.
2009 - This is one of my all time favorite veined daylilies. It has the most beautiful, ethereal halo. Has not been a strong grower for me, but it has not been in the best bed either.

**UPDATE 3/19/11** Finally bloomed in Summer '10!! Yippee!! Here is a photo from its first blooms. I think it likes the new place, because it has pumped out three new fans over winter. Maybe because it is a Dormant, and we had a severe freeze this year??
8/30/09 - Talk about frustrating!! Three years, zero blooms. It has now been placed in the BEST part of the garden... so if it doesn't bloom, I'm bringing out the shotgun!

**UPDATE 3/19/11** LOST TO OUR HARD FREEZE. This was absolutely gorgeous. Even thought it was a huge plant, in a huge pot, I still lost it. It will probably cost me another fortune to replace it, but I just loved this one. It is really, really sad to find mushy crowns....

2010 - Thankfully, 2010 was rust free, so treatments must have worked well, and Chamonix looked great.
2009 - Great bloomer, and lovely scapes, but unfortunately is very, very susceptible to rust. If it gets infected again this year after treatment, I think it is going to have to go. This is very sad, but I can't have rust buckets.

4/13/11 - Ugg. Well, this one succumbed to winter rots, or whatever the heck happened here. Awful. I really liked how this was a bi-tone and had unique petal coloration.
3/19/11 - Well, this is not the best picture, but it was HOT outside when it bloomed! Very pretty TET! Still need to get this in the ground, and see how it takes off. It barely survived our hard winter, so I think it will be happy, happy when it gets real dirt!!
2010 - Brand new bonus plant. Can't wait to see what spring brings!

2009 - THANK YOU RITA! My Garden Web NY buddy offered this to me last year because it wasn't doing well for her out there. So, she very kindly re-homed it to me! It certainly seems to like it here. It has given me some wonderful blooms and is increasing like crazy. It is a spidery form, so the fans are very small. But boy do they produce!

3/19/11 - I don't know why I didn't post a picture here earlier, but this one is really turning out to be a beauty! I think I may use it to hybridize with due to its very clear background coloring. Seems very exciting... we will see what comes!
2009 - THANK YOU RITA!! This is another orphan that I took in from Rita. It was not to her liking, so I thought I'd give it a shot. So far, it has been less than impressive. The color is sort of washed out looking. I'll give it another year hoping that some settling in time will give her a boost!

2009 - Another super cute little flower. Not quite a mini, because it is not under 3". What a lovely, lovely bloomer this is. It has a tendency to bouquet bloom, but that is ok with me, because it usually sends up rebloom scapes.

This CV sure seems ahead of its time... bubbly, diamond dusted chicken fat edge in 1996! Go Larry, Go! Can't wait to see what he will bring to the table in the coming years now that he is back in the game.

2009 - Bouquet bloomer for me here... but that is ok, because it gets tons of scapes. I think I killed this one by moving it at a bad time of year. In my yard, it seems to be a bi-tone, even though it is not mentioned in the CV description.

2009 - Geesh, as I am writing all these comments, I realize that this is another one that has yet to bloom for me. Better be a "leaper" of a third year here...

Scapes are wonderful, bud count awesome, overwintered here in a pot, and laughed at our two weeks of near zero temps, as well as our soaring 100+ degree summers. Wow, wow, wow. Thank you Melanie Mason!! Did you SEE that fuchsia pink??? It really is THAT pink.
Spring '10 - I can't wait to see this bloom! I have quite a few fans I just got last fall, and I wanted this one forever (thanks to all the enablers over on the Garden Web forums.)!
