| I've lost my mind because not only did I add a newborn to go along with my 20 month old twins, 9 and 7 year old, but I also added 33 daylilies (through the trademart, lily auction, Maryott's sale, and other auctions) and one Hot Papaya echinacea. Most of the daylilies are in pots and I will sink them in the vegetable garden for the winter, then I will have the fun task of finding a home for them in the garden. Here is what I added to the collection since the beginning of August:
ASHWOOD DARK SIDE
Can't wait until next year to post some pictures of these new ones. Have a great day. David |

| You got some great ones, David. I added more than I had planned: Bass Gibson Most are in pots, a few are planted already. I have been moving some out to make room, and I will have to do that to a few more. Looking forward to blooms next year. |
|
| When I went to look at my list I nearly fell over. Did I really get that many this year...... Most of what I got were from the hybridizers, a couple from folks as a gift and two I bid on the LA during fund raisers. ISLE OF PASTMOS I definitely won't be adding any this coming year till I assess again what I already have. Now, didn't I say that last year ;-). Julia |
|
| I also added a few more than I had planned to add. All are in the ground but four. I am expanding a garden to fit some of the new ones and gave away some very large clumps to family and friends. Here's what I made room for: Bela Lugosi I'm looking forward to all the new blooms next year! |

| I just have three new ones: REDEFINING GENETICS I'm having to buy replacements for those lost to crown rot, so I'm not to anxious to add many new cultivars. Besides, I have exactly 100 cups full of seedlings that will have to be grown in pots. I will be culling a lot of seedlings from the garden this coming spring. Alas, I am so limited on space now.

| Ah yes, Nancy, that space thing is what is limiting me. I don't want to enlarge my garden beds anymore, so I am moving one out in order to move another one in. I don't know about everyone else, but if I didn't keep looking at other people's postings, my list would be shorter. And there are a lot I really want still. Ah well. |

| I may change my mind after looking at Tommy Maddox's seedling 2012280 at his blogspot. Y'all might like to take a look at it. He probably wouldn't sell it for love or money! Nancy |
Here is a link that might be useful: Tom's Daylilies (blog)

| Sorry Nancy. I'm not looking cause the temptation is just too great. Kay: Exactly what I'm doing here but the worse thing I needed to clean up was the double planting of the same cultivar. Then comes the seedlings. Some just have to go.:-(. Julia |

| That is so pretty, Nancy. Most lovely purples like that tend to be pink or reddish here, such a disappointment. that one is really a beauty. Just lovely. |

| These are plants I ordered before Xmas. On April 5th I lost my Cassie, a Duck toller golden mix to cancer. ALthough I planted every DL it wasn't the same without Cassie following me around. Tollers are so happy and smile alot. I got a new little dog[Trixie] from a shelter in July. Now I have to train her to stay out of the gardens...:).....The following plants were planted this spring. I don't expect to buy much new. April Laquinta Bristling Fury Barney Country Bumpkin Cerise Beauty Florida's Garden Light Fire Coral Heavenly Angel Ice Mike Longo Mary Lena Oh Great One Purple Badger Pinnacle Pink Psychic Trance Princess of Wales Pathway of Peace ,Peace Beyond Understanding Ramming Speed See Me, Feel Me, Touch Me Sword Dancer Spacecoast Black Velvet Band Spacecoast Fringe Benefit Spacecoast Behavior Pattern Shelter Cove Vesper Sparrow Who Day....and a few older plants...What an exceptional summer it has been here in northern Nova Scotia....and I've got a new roof.....so I won't be buying a lot of new plants....:)....but that's okay...cheers, lloyd |

| Bedmaker, All I can say you're in very good company, as I've also lost my mind. This fall I removed another 25 from the garden, but somehow the number on my inventory list didn't go down one little bit. Ugh. APPALACHIAN TRAIL (Reed 10) There are 3 or 4 more potted up that I may not keep - will probably donate to Lilyhemmer. I'm really happy to get more of Hilton Anderson's minis and small flowers. ( he is the hybridizer of 'Coffee to Go' which is just wonderful. His plants are not so well distributed, so it is good to get a few more here.) |
|
| Gee, I forgot to include WHITE EYES PINK DRAGON, another Gossard and one that I'd been trying to get for awhile! |

| This can get *really* addicting... I added: Gerrie Frankenberger When I first read the thread title I thought it would be an easy 6 plants that I planted this fall, and then realized it was for the whole year. Seems like the plants do add up when you start tallying them. :)

| I think I added around thirty more or less got rid of some old ones that didn't do well so I would have room. I don't have my list on this computer so won't list them. Each year I say that is it I will add no more. Well I already have one ordered for next year. |

| Don't want to go there. lol I had bought only a few this fall, but a friend in the garden club was evicting some nice daylilies for space and some wandered my way. I may not end up keeping then after they bloom next year, but I wanted to see what they looked like before deciding. And a few wandered over from Dad's house. Awesome Bob Better Than Ever Blue Grass Music Border Blessed Brown Exotica Captain Picard Carved Pumpkin Pie Casa Des Juan Classically Enchanting Connie Can't Have It Clear Channel Coit Tower (a moment of insanity on lily auction, but got for almost 1/2 price) Easy on the Eyes Eccentricity Electric Marmalade Splash For Aunt Marian (bonus with Coit Tower) Forestlake Ragamuffin Free as the Wind Hypnotized Ledgewood Jump Start Lily Monster Lounge Lizard Margaret Tucker Marietta Tilogy Memorial to Steve Neptune's Legacy Pirate King Prickly Sensation Princess of Wales Rainbow Over Marietta Random Thoughts Raspberry Butterflies Red Slippers Rose Colored Glasses Ruby Claire Mims (bonus) Seduced Star Enchantment Sunday Sandals Ted Gardian Thundercat Vivid Imagination Walter Kennedy Woman at the Well Zest of Orange Truffle There were a few more I had got from our friend, but I am still reworking the list. I have several things planted WAY too close together pending what I decide to do with them next year, But as we split the free daylilies between Dad, myself, a new garden club member, and lined some out for the club sale next spring, they were small enough I could crowd them on purpose short term. You can't pass up free plants! Especially nice ones -I got about 20 plants from him. And four from Dad's house -that's my payment for garden labor-lol |

| Congratulations on your new baby! Nothing like the music of a houseful of kids giggling and playing! I have 5 also. Well I just started collecting this year, I was having problems with my on again/off again lantana that I decided I was removing most of it and replacing with a different perennial. Well as you can guess the rest is history...lol Oh my goodness daylilies sure are addicting (however that's what I say about whatever "new" plant I'm into that year.) lol Anyway here goes... Absolute Treasure And a few more I'm bidding on also... hopefully I win them.

| I actually god rid of quite a few between last year and this year. I'd say I got rid of 100 or more by giving them to friends and family. I added back in: Malcolm David Brooker Sr This Winter will not be so great. I'm stalking the auctions. I've got Malaysian Marketplace already purchased and have atleast 10 more I am waiting for. Dani |

| How exciting your lists are, everyone! I added quite a few dayliilies this year; unfortunately, due to enormous upheaval/family issues this spring that have, among other things, rendered roughly one third of our house nonfunctional (STILL nonfunctional! because some rooms are full to bursting with other people's stuff), I have no idea where I've placed this year's order forms and lists. Well, technically, I do know - they're in my office, but they may as well be on the far side of the moon. Off the top of my head, some new ones that I recall: BETH CREVELING (Apps) There are others....I wonder what they are. ;) |

| Those are some amazing lists. Like others, thinking back, I got more than I realized this year. But this morning I gave 11 plants to my mother-in-law to make space for what's coming. Already received: Awaiting by order: Awaiting from club purchase/auction: Nate |
|
| lol-Rena-I thought I had gone daylily crazy this year. I had to get rid of several to make room, some I sold in the spring, some I have divided up and potted for next spring's plant sale. Others that I know I am going to get rid of are still in the ground, but I don't want to pot up any more for this year. The ones I plant and sell are my daylily budget for the next year. |

| Nate I love ordering from Maryott too! I got my 2nd order placed minutes before their deadline of noon (Cali. time is what saved me). So I also have Lida Sierra coming also plus bonus? Well I won a few auctions today on the LA Stella's Ruffled Fingers (from our very own Floota) Water Drops (well technically didn't win this one, but the seller gave me a price I was happy with so I added it to my order with Get Jiggy) Get Jiggy And I'm going to add one more to another order Lillian's Ginger Bred, that's a Buy It Now on the LA as well. And then NO MORE window shopping for me! lol And I have a large trade to complete with a great GW friend and then I'm done! Rena' |
|
| Lisa, is that your club's spring sale or your town's spring sale? Maybe there's the same thing here.. I can't add any new ones until I remove something. Huge lists, everybody! Wow Hostabuff, if you look here, where did you get Rose F.Kennedy? |

| Oops, I forgot 3 from Daylily Bingo! WITCHES WINK JOURNEY TO IXTLAN HUG ME BIG They really add up. Nate |
|
| Nat4b--Our club has a sale in May. We get 1/2 of profit, the club gets the other 1/2-but they use it for local parks so I don't mind. Debating doing a farmer's market or lily auction or something, because I always have more than I sell at the sale. The local greenhouse has been sending out feelers to gardeners that might like to do a farmers market. They sell mostly veggie plants and annuals and have a small florist business. |
