Weather has been gorgeous here at Oakville Farm. A great day for daylilies. As posted last night, we had a nice shower which gave our daylilies the extra push for more buds to open today. And speaking of which, I could not pick out a "favorite" daylily to show this evening. Here are a few more ......
Hemerocallis Doug Mayfield
Doug Mayfield daylily is short, about 16" tall, has a small bloom, about 3.5" and is an early midseason bloomer. It is a rose pink blend with dark pink eyezone and green throat. It is said that the Doug Mayfield daylily is fragrant. We sell this daylily for $6.00.
Hemerocallis Mary ToddThis buff self, 2 1/2' tall , large 5" bloom is a real show stopper in the garden/yard. The color buff refers to a light yellow/brown to a moderate orange-yellow color. Mary Todd has a high bud count and is a very hardy daylily. It multiplies quickly and is easy to separate. We sell it for $5.00.
Hemerocallis Nicholas Leigh
This pretty brick red self daylily is bout 2 1/2' tall, has a large bloom, about 5.5" and is a midseason bloomer. Ours just began to bloom. And it looks so good beside the smaller daylily called Mosel. Our Nicholas Leigh daylily sells for $5.00 per fan.
Just a side note ... sometimes we purchase daylilies for their foliage, their colorful bloom, the bloom time, the size or uniqueness of the bloom or sometimes we buy the daylily for its name, or part of its name. Our grandson and our nephew's name is Nicholas, so wonder why we purchased this one? :)
Hope you have enjoyed this showing of daylilies. Does anyone have a favorite daylily? Please let us know.
