SUNDAY.27TH JUNE '10..DAYLILY 'Outrageous'

briiliant colour lovely plant

Lovely Day lily - I like them very much have some double orange ones, someone gave them to me many years ago. Lovely dark orange this one, mine more yellow in them than yours, but love them just the same.

its lovely

It's - outrageous! ;-)

Lol...It sure is David....I love all daylilies....I have a few more varieties about to flower.....Thanks for the nice comments..:>)

Lovely one, I love them too, was tempted by this one myself last year on ebay,you've got me going again now, I was trying to be good,lol, I'll have to search it out :-)
Going to add you to favourites so I don't miss any :-)

Now then Kathy, don't get too excited, you know what happens when you do. lol. it is a lovely one I agree. looking forward to seeing my day lillies opening up, you have lots, not enough room now for more, tend to just divide up the ones I have already and spread them all over the place, mainly because I like the double orange one I have v.much. and it contrasts well in the big border it is in with all the other colours.(bit of a boring gardener me) Hope you and Rob and girls are well. - Barbara

Lol Barbara, too late already searching, always room for just one more,lol, Robs making me new bed at the bottom of the garden, is the double orange one you have 'Kwanso Flore Plena' I have that its gorgeous have bits of it everywhere, one that looks amazing this year and was one of the first I ever bought is 'Big Bird' the flowers are huge, just shows some of the older varieties are better than some newer ones, must take a picture of daylily bed its starting to look great:-)
Rob and the girls are fine thanks, Danielle has passed all her exams at uni, thank goodness, even though she missed three months because of her broken ankle :-)

Tell Danielle well done from me - they make you so proud when they do the right thing bless her - Double orange daylily was a freebie and I have no idea what it is called, it came from down Roses when Paul worked there, they were doing some work and took them out and I put them in. Will put a photo on when it is opened up. Was talking to Janey yesterday about arranging a visit to Silica lodge and all meeting up there if you would like to join us, nothing arranged yet but will love to meet up with everyone in school hols for pottering around and of course cake and coffee or even lunch what you think to that idea? Would love it if Danielle could make it too plus anyone else who likes gardening. Let me know and I will sort it for us all if I can

Oooh that sounds a great idea Barbara, would love too, just let me know when, would be nice to chat to fellow gardeners, think I bore Rob to death sometimes,lol :-)
Look forward to seeing picture of your daylily, been waiting all week for a newbie to open 'Free Wheelin', out there every morning checking, the bud just keeps getting bigger and bigger, going to be a huge flower, maybe tommorrow :-(

Must say Oliveoil and Simbad, i enjoyed that long conversation you had with each other on my daylily page lol....I felt like i was 'earwigging' on a private conversation.....If only i was in Lincolnshire, maybe i could go to Silica Lodge too and have lunch...All sounds like a good day out ...And 'freewheelin' is a beauty Simbad....:>)))

Lol Motinot, Silica Lodge is a lovely garden centre just gets bigger each year, and has a lovely cafe with homemade cakes mmm,sure you can't make it :-).
Freewheelin has just opened today and you're right it is a beauty, huge flowers,going to get a picture later, another couple of lovely ones have opened too 'Jellyfish Jealousy' and 'All American Tiger', all three were new last year so flowering for the first time,like christmas every day at the moment :-)))))

It would be dangerous to let me loose in a place like 'Silica Lodge' Simbad....sounds like a wonderful day out...I know you'll have a great time...I was checking out the Daylilies you mentioned and 'All American Tiger' is gorgeous...I have a few about to open...My favourite 'Saladin'...The lovely yellow 'Hyperion'..'Summer Wine' and 'Frans Hals'...(the last two kindly sent to me by Bigbumblebee, last year)....Enjoy yourselves....not too many cakes mind....:>))

Lol :-)
You have some lovely ones there Motinot I have 'Frans Hals' one of the first ones I bought still love it, 'Hyperion's a lovely one too.
Yes noticed Bigbumblebee has a lot of lovely daylilies.
'All American Tiger' is a beauty just put a picture on of it and the others I mentioned:-)
Look forward to seeing your pictures:-)

Ok Simbad...thanks...going to have a look at your daylilies...

Just been eavesdropping as well, now, Lincolnshire, how far is that ?? :o)) Coffee? daylilies? cake? :o))

Pamd - think it is about 8 hours drive depending on which part of Cornwall you are in - took my girls camping there one year - it was amazing, lovely lovely part of the world, you have some fantastic places to visit in your own county I am certain. But will think of you when we get to Silica Lodge in the Summer hols. Everyone is welcome to join in on the trip it should be good fun, they'll wonder what has hit them in Scunthorpe - may even have to pre-book lol. I have heard what happens when people start organising parties etc.- on facebook -GoY's could be the same, we could hit the town with a storm girls what a laugh that would be.

I have always wanted to visit Cornwall....It would be my kind of holiday destination...I would like to visit Doc Martin's area...:>)

You would love it Motinot - places to really lose yourself in - villages with winding lanes and wildflowers and beaches to die for, so unspoiled. One of my favourites and when the girls were younger we camped near Bodmin Moor, we had a brilliant two weeks, went everywhere - travelled for miles visiting places only thing that really spoiled it for us if spoiled is the right word we took the dog with us and we couldn't visit lots of the places we wanted to visit because we couldn't leave him anywhere. We couldn't leave him at home because we would have missed him too much so one thing outweighed the other if you like. He had a good time and we made the best out of it we could. Gardens were the biggest problem - no visiting with him. Would like to go back eventually and see the amazing gardens down there, would like to see Eden project, now that it is up and running it was still being built when we went down there. Lost gardens of Heligan etc. Oh the dreams lol.

All sounds wonderful....fresh air and sunshine...I love a good relaxing holiday...a good book, good food, plants to see and gardens to visit.....heaven....:>)

Oliveoil, you will have to make some GoY badges, did you see what we made when visiting another GoY garden. The're on my photo's. We live within walking distance of the Eden Project & most of our guests are either visiting Eden or Heligan.

Pamd = Oh you lucky thing - I looked at the Eden Project before it was finished, couldn't go in because we had the dog, too hot to leave him anywhere, so we only peeked and left. It looked pretty amazing then. What a brilliant idea the badges are, will have to have a go at that for our visit to Silica Lodge, hope the weather is holding out for you all down in Cornwall, believe you had some of that wet stuff, we desperately need some here in Lincolnshire, Wednesday hopefully, supposed to be wet, plants are preserving themselves and going to seed so quickly, keep watering but it isn't doing much good. Thanks for passing your brill idea on. - Barbara (Olive is my middle name) just used it for a giggle really. thanks again
