Yet another satisfied Maryott's customer!!

Well, I finally did it, ordered from Maryotts.

A box of healthy HUGE green fans arrived today with lovely bonuses. Bill was too quick, actually, because I was thinking of adding a few more on but they had been sent.

Oh well, I'll be ready next year.

I got:

Aesthetic Ballet

Gift From Heaven

Marked by Lydia

Mildred Mitchell (thanks to Jessica :))

Big Kiss (for my young daughter who has had a tough time

because her beloved pet died recently- she just loves doubles)

and for bonuses I got:

How Sweet it is

Sunny Perfection

and Southern Coral

I am thrilled. I know I will be ordering from them again.

I know that there has been debate about whether people would like to receive bonuses, extra fans of the cultivars they ordered, or free shipping. I can just tell you as someone who is new and starting out, it is just so thrilling to get bonuses! Like Christmas! It has really helped my collection along. I even got 4 bonuses at a time from my favorite vendor. And only one bonus this year was one I didn't care for (Cousin Charles....)

Those who give nice bonuses will definitely get my business again. But I do understand those who may get repeats of daylilies they already have, etc.

Ok, I went off on a tangent there... so if anyone grows these that I got today, I'd love to hear about them.

Thanks!!

    abbydales, the only one I have from your list is BIG KISS. I think your daughter will love it...lots of blooms, quick to increase, and very fertile.
    I have HOW SWEET IT IS coming at the end of this month. We will have to compare notes next year. Isn't Maryott's the greatest!

    I'm THRILLED w/ Mildred Mitchell. I'm almost 100% positive you will be too. Here is a photo. Keep in mind, this is only the 2nd Flower to Open & I was on vacation when the others bloomed :(

    The only hybridizer I purchase from at the moment is Bill Maryott. I'm extremely happy with my purchases and have been for 5 years now. I grow a good number of his introductions.

    Kwanza Gold,Cameo Luster,Off Beat,Oktoberfest,Winning Note,Golden Honey,Social Graces,Bold Move,Flamboyant Diva & Pandora's Treasure.

    My very favorites are Off Beat,Oktoberfest,Winning Note, Golden Honey and Social Graces. Out of these, Golden Honey is on the VERY top of the list. Bold Move,Flamboyant Diva and Pandora's Treasure are new this summer, so I didn't see them bloom yet.

    I just received my order from them yesterday and received very nice bonuses. I enjoy the surprise bonuses...if its something you already have you can always trade it or offer it up at ebay. I will definitely be ordering from them next year.

    Thanks everyone, your comments double the excitement for me!

    Rick, I'm glad to hear that Southern Coral is such a strong grower, and if it looks even slightly like your photo, I'll be happy. By the way, I always enjoy your pics, you rival the professionals. Truly.

    Kathy, I'm glad to hear that Big Kiss is a good cultivar too, and up for the Stout this year! My daughter always points out the doubles, she really likes them.

    Carlamarie, I love seeing pics of Mildred Mitchell. I know I will love her. It's good to hear that Maryott's intros are so hardy, so many are gorgeous. I'll have to look up the ones you love. What zone are you?

    Barb, I enjoy your photos too, and should really learn how to do it so I can share. thanks!

    Sandy, what did you order, and get for bonuses?
    Thanks everyone!

    As I stepped out on our porch on this lovely September morning, I glanced down the hill toward the new field bed. A bright and colorful blossom beckoned me. I ran and grabbed my camera. So...here she is, in all her glory ... Lori Goldston (from Maryott's)

    Nancy, what a gorgeous daylily and a lovely picture too!
    I had that one on my list from Maryott's, but they sold out of it.
    Thanks for sharing.

    I'm in zone 6b. Email me at pamperdchefcarla@aol.com. I can show you pictures of other Maryott intros. Bill is a good friend of mine. So he'd love to know I'm sharing my photos. Actually on his website if you look at Golden Honey, that is my photo on his site. I think if you type in Social Graces, there is another photo of mine there too.

    I am just crazy about Maryotts. The daylilies are always large fans in great condition. I have many Maryotts intros planted this year but not too many pictures as many did not bloom or I did not get a picture.

    Incendiary


    Because of You


    Pandora's Treasure


    Off Beat

    Carla, an email is on its way.

    Rita, it is hard to pick my favorites from your photos,
    they are all so beautiful. I really love Off Beat and Tic Tac Toe. yours of those two actually look prettier than the ones on Maryott's site. My wish list is getting too long.
    thanks for sharing!
