Panda Bear...

Sometimes called black-and-white, cat-foot; a kind of mammal from the bear family? Well, not exactly.
This daylily is called Panda Bear. A yellow reblooming daylily which is short in stature; grows to about 2 feet tall. It has a maroon/wine colored eye with a yellow throat. The wine color is also found around the edge. Very showy in a late blooming garden.

Starstruck...

I'm back! Having been under the weather lately, I am feeling much better this morning.
We had a nice rain last night. Everything is looking refreshed. The daylilies have a "pick me up " look to them.
Our feature for today is called Starstruck. It is a late blooming deep golden yellow daylily. The daylily is fragrant and grows to about 2 feet tall. It would make a nice lower growing daylily for the front of a flower bed or shrub or shed.

Bonanza......

Remember the show? Hoss, Little Joe, Adam, Ben Cartwright and Hop Sing. They would have all starved to death without Hop Sing! What a great western!!
But, the Bonanza I want to showcase is a great reblooming daylily. Bonanza grows well in full to partial sun and grows to about 2 feet tall. Bloom is orange and is large; 4 inches or larger. A nice growing, drought tolerant daylily that would be showy in any garden!

Near White

We have three late blooming daylilies that are really showing their beauty now. I will promote one each day for you.
Today's beauty is called "White Temptation". Although there are not any true white daylilies, this is called near white. It is a strong, medium bud count daylily. It stands out well next to a dark contrast color daylily. It stands about 3 feet tall and has a large bloom, approximately 5". It is not a rebloomer, therefore the beauty is enjoyed now and for about 3 weeks.

Eyezone

Have you ever wondered what the "colored ring" in the daylily is called? It is called the "Eyezone" of the flower. It is the darker area on the sepals and petals just above the throat. Here it is shown on the daylily, Pirate's Promise.

Bitone

I hope most of us in climate Zone 7 have a garden/yard full of beautiful bloomers. We have over 200 different daylily cultivars here at Oakville Farm and it is hard to choose a favorite. But today the Moonlight Orchid caught my eye. It is a bicolor. A bicolor daylily has petals (inner segments) that are of a completely different color than its sepals (outer segments). The soft colors have a very calming affect.
One of our fellow bloggers likes the Indian Dreams daylily.
Does anyone else have a favorite? Would love to know.....
