A pretty mystery

Post by Aud »

Last year Chris had a good Daylily sale of unknown. I was really just looking for different colors not names so I ordered. "The Mysteries." It is fun to watch them bloom then I will place them in their prime spot by color in the garden. This is the first of the Huge Garbage Bag he sent for pennies on the dollar. :D

It reminds me of El Desperado ... but also like a few others ... I love that color combination!
Not bad for coming out of a garbage bag! :lol:

Kind of reminds me of Wild Horses.

Pat this is more fun than buying and knowing what is suppose to bloom. I run out every morning looking for which one is blooming now. LOL

I brought them to put over a hillside, I am trying to cover. I cannot see down the hill unless I go to the edge of the property. I do not think they will go over there. :D

This one looks like Moonlit Masquerade!

And that yellow one with the eyezone? Wow!!! That is spectacular! It appears that not only were the batches of daylilies we bought wrong but they seem to be more mixed up than we even saw last summer...

If I had seen that yellow one I might have kept it :lol:

Now to look through the catalogs to see if we can ID them :D

Well Chris, I will be happy to share. It has good bud count and it looks like it is going to be a good multiplier. It has a lot of leaves and it is holding the flower stem high. :P

You sent a big bag of treasures. I have three more to post. You did so good I feel like going back to my Cheerleader days!!!

Chris, Chris he's our man if he can't do it no one can!!!! Yeah Chris!!!!!

Forget the jumps and splits I am to old to do that at this age. LOL!!
