This ends the daylily season for 2009. It was a good one. Cultivars listed on the daylily page but not pictured either did not bloom, the bloom was broken off by a clumsy photographer, or it bloomed while we were out of town. There is one left with the buds still quite small that will be added later. Some are beginning to rebloom and a list of those will be put together and added to the page for future reference. All of the photos and posts for 2009 can be found on the sidebar on a page titled : Plants We Grow-Daylilies. You can find it at any time on the right column of the blog or click here. Thank you for your interest.

About me
My name is Frances and I am a lifelong gardener, having lived in various parts of the USA over many years. I am now gardening in USDA Zone 7a east Tennessee. From 2000 to 2014 I was gardening on a slope in a small town in Tennessee. I have been blogging about my gardens since December of 2007. Thank you for visiting!

Hi Frances, oh how beutiful they all are. That Lusty Leland looks really different from the others. And the colour of it is amazing. Thanks for charing them all with us, I really enjoyed every daylily post / kram gittan
Frances, ~they are ruffled, diamond dusted, recurved, doubled lovelies that will certainly be missed. Standup and Lusty L ‘s are two of my favorites. Both are nice sherbet colors. Enjoy your day gardening. gail
I still marvel at having all the names of the different cultivars! Many of mine are from friends and come without introductions. Your doubles are really grand.
Hi Janet, thanks. It certainly helped that the gifts from Mae and Mickey were labeled, got us off to a good start. Whether the names are known or not, they are the stars of summer. Those are the only doubles, and Stand Up is only double every third flower or so, but the color and later bloom time make it a favorite.
Frances
What lovely lilies. Princess sure is an eye catcher. I think it’s great that you have the names to all the lilies you have. I’m beginning to dislike not having names for all my plants.
Frances, you must have quite the records to know all the names and the sources for your daylilies! I like ‘Planet Max’ because I’m trying to focus on just the spider types.
I enjoy reading the names of all your lilies, Frances, almost as much as seeing their lovely faces. I wonder about the story behind the naming of “Lusty Leland”:) I’m really interested in seeing your list of rebloomers; I want to add more of these to my garden.
I too am quite impressed by you knowing all the names. Heck, I’m lucky if I remember what type of flower I planted, let alone the cultivar. Can you see me waundering thru the garden, hmmm, is this a daylily or crocosmia. I am so bad, but I am trying to do better. I love all these daylilies and I think knowing the names is important too. Off to the garden! 1/2 of rain yesterday makes it nice.
Oh no, more to add to the want list!! LOL You have a wonderful daylily collection.
Those Daylillies are some of the prettier ones I have seen, they are quite awesome. I alos like you blog, it is so informative and th epictures are great.
Jake
Please excuse me while I pick my jaw up from the floor … Frances you grow such beauties!
Mmmm this is real LOOOOVE!!
Linda
This is great. We’re often trying to figure out what the various hybrids look like, so it’s nice to see the collection of photos. Otherwise, I just end up ordering “Gold Coin” over and over.
Beautiful daylilies Frances!
Love the Spiders and doubles Frances and the red ones really catch the eye. A fabulous collection.
I have joined the crowd to see the finale of your daylilies. Great plants and flowers in a dazzling colour mix. Cheerful, uncomplicated flower power!
Wow your cup really runneth over with gorgeous Daylily selections. I’ve never seen so many different types. 🙂 I’m glad you posted ‘Lusty Leland’, I think I have that one in my garden that someone passed along to me recently.
I am always impressed that you remember most of what you have in your garden Frances. You have such an abundant collection. All are just beautiful.
Beautiful! My favorites are ‘Trahlyta’ and ‘Planet Max.’
What beautiful daylilies! Have you found this to be an exceptional year for them? Chicago Brave is an outstanding color (my opinion). I’d love any of those Spiders! 🙂 Hope you enjoyed a great weekend!
Francis, you had a wonderful day lily season.
I´ll try Frances.. I will try :)!
Linda
Frances, I love the Chicago series! Haven’t been a spider-form enthusiast but getting there! My fav in this post is Ahoya 🙂 Also, I have a beauty blooming with no ID but you may identified Ida’s Magic for me!! I’m slowly working on a post for all my varieties..
Thank you Frances for the lovely show.
Very nice. Of course I think of this as the beginning of the daylily season. My garden is so much later than yours.
Oh Frances…your daylilies are awesome! I too am so impressed with your varied selection and your knowledge of every one. I have been adding more each year to my garden, but still have a long way to go to catch up with you. 🙂
I was in your neck of the woods this past weekend, but was too busy with the kids to try and see if I could make a trip to see you. Hopefully one day soon though! It sure was spectacular weather too!
Have a great time at the beach!
Hi Siria, thanks. It is not a race to see who has the most daylilies you know. Or is it? HA
Pingback: Looking with New Eyes « An Artist’s Garden
Wonderful pictures, Frances — I’m beginning to think of daylilies as I think about books: so many daylilies, so little…room. Standup is a stand-out.
