Hemerocallis

So do i ! Lovely!

They are stunning

oh its beautiful

Its so pretty

I bought a posh dual coloured one last year - a named cultivar. No sign of a bud yet...:-(

It gets my vote! : )

I have the same one and I agree. So reliable and flowers for quite a long time.

Do you get that Hemorocallis gall midge Barbara?

Not so far, Sarah! Fingers crossed...

Glad to hear it....mine seem to be 'out of the woods' now thank goodness...

Strange coincidence - I was at my friend's garden today choosing two new Hemerocallis for the new bed, and she was showing me the damage these gall midges have done!

I hope the ones I chose don't bring them along as a 'bonus'!n lol.

Best to check them thoroughly if they've already got buds on Barbara - you don't want these, believe me :-( If you choose later flowering ones, then they are not effected as the fly is only about May to June supposedly (I think that's what I read anyway). Does your friend live far from you?

Oooohh - about 5 minutes walk, Sarah! Just up the lane.

uh'oh.....

Please don't say that! I shall be too scared to buy them! She has such a lovely selection; she propagates them - all the colours you could imagine - spider ones, doubles, they are soooo beautiful!

Can you ask her for ones that flower late? It's the early ones that are affected. The late ones are ok....

I don't see why not, Sid - she won't mind. As she sells them, she has a set of photos of them all. Very useful!
