I needed a place to put all my gardening notes. Thought it would be fun for other people to see my input on various items of interest. I'm particularly fond of roses, fragrants, and flowering vines. Hope you enjoy.

Daylilies - The Best of the Rest
I'm putting in this post the rest of my daylilies that have bloomed thus far. Above is one I just planted this year and it made only one bloom. I expect much more from it next year once it has grown more. It's called Little Deek and is a deep, golden yellow variety. I didn't have any yellows and wanted to get Buttered Popcorn. However, the place where I went to get it didn't have Buttered Popcorn and suggested this variety as a reasonable alternative. We'll see.
This is another unknown daylily that I have. I used to think it was Strawberry Candy, but when I compared it to the real thing it was obvious that it's another variety. It's a darker shade than my Strawberry Candy. Still, this is one of my best performing daylilies and it always puts on a great show.
This last is a pink daylily that I don't know the name of either. The pink fades quickly in the sun and is hard to capture well with my cheap camera. This is a nice daylily, but isn't as vigorous as some of my others. I may move it to a more favorable location this fall.

Your unknown daylily looks like Always Afternoon---it is the photo that has a hydrangea on the left side
Also I have one called Final touch that looks like the bottom photo---actually died and was not very strong plant.
It's a daring deception reblooming lily. I have some and love them.
