Next Year's Daylilies

Happy day! I made it to this year's sale by the local daylily club.

  It is something I look forward to every year.

I finally have everything planted and wanted to show what I am looking forward to next year.

These photos are from the internet, as all I have now are small plants.

Bridgeton Calligraphy. 

It is a prolific bloomer with up to 25 buds per branch.

The blossoms are six inches across.

Love how understated it is. 

 

Little Fruit Cup

This delicate flower is four and a half inches, a short, early season nocturnal bloomer

 (which opens late in the day and remains open overnight until the following mid day).

I could just eat it up.

Without Warning

This lovely creamsicle daylily is another smaller sized beauty (4.5 inches).

I love the burgundy eye and ruffled edges.

 

 I Can Only Imagine

I can't wait to see this 39 inches tall,  huge 6.5 inch blossom. 

I imagine it will be impressive.

It might be my favorite.

Satinique

With a 5 inch bloom, this purple pleaser has a surprise.

It is fragrant! Who knew??

 

Idiot Philanthropist

A newer daylily, from 2013, has a 6.25 inch flower.

The hybridizer (with a sense of humor?) has it listed for $75.

Since I paid ten, there must be a back story...  

 

  Pirate's Promise

 This 5.5 inch daylily is a rebloomer.

Lavender and dark purple!

This may turn out to be my favorite..

.I just can't take my eyes off of it.

 

Pirate's Ransom

Six inch blossoms with a purple edge on the heavy ruffle.

I love ruffles. It demands to be looked at.

 

 Licorice Candy

This may be my real favorite...it's short and has small 4 inch blossoms 

but produces up to 35 blooms per stalk.  Also the most susceptible to the cold.

Will require lots of mulch this winter. I can't wait to see it. 

There is another that I cannot find a photo of. 

Last to the Buffet Line has a 5 inch peach flower with a purple eye and edge.

It might turn out to be the best of all!

 

These are like children. How can you pick your favorite?
 I hope that all of these survive, thrive and bless me with tons of flowers.

We'll find out next summer!!
