i am into all flowers but have to say my favorites are honey suckles and morning glories. now my dh is into day lilies. i cant even tell what colors are where now that we moved last year.
now he wants some of those really tall stalked ones. hehe
Just wondering,how many brug lovers are also into daylilies?
Well, I haven't gotten into the brugs as much as Margie but I am now collecting all things tropical, I love the lush overabundant jungle look!. I do have over 200 daylilies and have decided I need to cut out about 75 of them (any takers?) as I ran out of room and have too many in black 5 gal pots, looks too much like a nursery here! I have scaled down my roses a great deal, no room and I am always disapointed after the first flush and the blackspot etc that hits afterwards, I don't want a plant I have to coddle too much. Removed 2 roses yesterday, another died out front for some unknown reason, just totally turned black stems and dried leaves after having it for over 10 years so that one and the monster Ceclie Brunner is coming out to make room for a Queen Palm. But I guess daylilies are my first big love still, even with the rust I am combating. After all, there are so many different looks and styles to a daylily.
and
and this seedling
Sue...good to hear from you! The lower blossom wouldn't by any chance be your namesake, would it? I need a photo of it for your nametag for national! OK if I use this one? Margie
and unusual forms like SPEEDO
I meant your second photo Sue...you slipped in another before my post got posted!! :-)))
I meant Regional...not National...I'd better get out and go shopping...I am getting all confused ;-{

OMG Sue!! I can never get enough of you DL pictures! They are just beautiful.
Yes Margie, Keith took that one, it's my favorite so far. You making name tags, that is so cool! Better than the ones they provide I am sure.
I do love my fragrant double white brug, taken last Nov.
Obviously I have been buying the wrong daylilies. STOP Calif_Sue before I die.
Rylaff, I am off to find your DL!!!
Doh, I forgot, I am wild about coleus' lately! I follow Kell and Happenstance around to all their metioned nurseries to find other goodies as well. LOL
Forget the nurseries, I am coming to your house. I need that one sky blue pink seedling. I need it bad.
He he Kell, yeah, there has got to be something we can convert you with! I blame you for this latest collection below. LOL! And ya better just tell me where that parrot's beak vine is, maybe I will give it a test and see how long it blooms. :-)
kell, have to go to Florida directly to the hybridizer's nursery, Grace Stamile, for that one!
Here is one hybridized by another californian, Kelly Mitchell, named after his siSter, GINNY MITCHELL, bred from his famous MILDRED MITCHELL

Then you got your spideries.
I'll be a taker if you really are getting rid of some!! lol.. I have plenty of room and too much yard!
and doubles
Sue, you are so bad! It appears you guys are starting to corrupt poor Kell. LOL
and your spider double combos-FLUTTERING BEAUTY
HOT colors
Soft feminine colors
Sue, your seedling looks like a winner. Love that eye! Daylilies are my #1 addiction, but Iris and coleus are moving up fast. Clematis would be on my list too if I had more room for them. I do have 3 different ones, but would like many more. I love the fact that daylilies bloom over such as long time if you get some early early and some late late ones, they bloom from early May to sometime in Nov here in my zone 5. I have not grown brugs long enough to know if they will be one my permanent list of addiction, but I would not be surprised! This is King of Masks.
Bold eyes
Chele, save me. I am trying to not come to this thread. One is better than the next. Margie wants me to go to a DL convention. I smell DANGER. LOL
Appliqued eyes
Etched eyes
This is Strawberry Fields Forever, a great pink.
Susan
Oh, nothing dangerous, come over, come...come, you can't resist. LOL!
Spiny edges
No pinks are allowed to be posted. It is Dave's rule. Sadly, we must all abide.
Here's a favorite Iris: Fantasm.
Susan
sharks teeth!
And a favorite coleus: Meandering Linda.
Susan
And big loopy skirts.....off to find something pepto pink, mush on Dave's rules!
Mmmm PINK (Stamile seedling # 2334-A)
Coleus with Miner's Claim, just to keep it proper on the brug forum
Sue...your pictures are just too beautiful!!!
Don't forget your John Peat...a pretty pink for kell, if she likes edges too!
kell...that would be so great if you came to the open house in concord on 6/11....Shirley1md will be here from Maryland, I think it is and you would meet me and Sue and Lilystorm and Sues mother and Keith Miner...who the Miners Claim is named after, probably! and I am sure there will be more !!! I sure hope you will come!
Thanks Margie. I will email you!
Hey you guys are being so mean to me. I am telling you we have rules on this forum and one of them is NO PINK. You are killing me here. Now I have to go find Fantasm too.
And I can't believe Meandering Linda is stalking me from the coleus forum. No fair.
My only hope is none of the DL I am now craving are available. How about Stamile seedling # 2334-A, Sue?? I bet sh eis $1,000. LOL
Won't be too much blooming yet according to the home owner since this drat weather is just not acting normal but there will be plenty of freebies! I am bringing half my garden! LOL! Gotta make more room ya know.
Ha ha, that seedling first bloomed in 2002, hence the number 2 as the first number according to the hybridizer. Not sure if this one made the cut but I do know he is doing some awesome things in rich pinks. Like my daughter's namesake. http://www.distinctly.on.ca/stamile/leslierenee.htm
