Daylilies - the final count ( I think)

Ok, the count was 19.
Here is the last of the stella d'oros(20):
Here are some labels I found of day lilies I've planted in the yard:
L to R the labels read "Rajah" , "Catherine Woodbury", and "Wine Delight"
hmm. I s'pose I could match those up with some in my yard. The orange 'Rajah' could be any of 3 of them, though.

I did go back and compare two of the dark reds in the yard, which are identical, as you can see, so that brings the count to 19 again.


This one, of course, has no name, but is # 20.


Bad pic here -
but I do know the name: 'Raspberry Pixie' , which counts as #21!


This one is smaller than the other strong yellow. This one is almost green in color, and counts as # 22.

hmm. Could be 'Rajah' . Or not. But # 23, for sure.

I do believe I've inventoried the yard, and twenty three different types of daylilies may seem like a lot to some, but I know there are gardeners out there with many more than this!

Daylilies , how many do we really have?

'Tis daylily season, and thank heavens for them, because they are blooming during a lull in my garden. I do have to say, though, that I like irises more than daylilies, but I do appreciate the variety, beauty, and hardiness of daylilies.
We do have a LOT of different daylilies. I took pics, and there were a few that weren't blooming today, so I'll add another entry in a few days, to try and figure out how many varieties I have.
As usual, I don't know the names of most of them, so if you have any ideas/suggestions/guesses, let me know!
This daylily (above) was here when we moved in. We don't have the traditional orange 'ditch' daylily, but I love this double variation. I saw something similar for sale called 'Kwanzi', so maybe that is what this one is.

These are a buttery yellow, with large blooms. I never get tired of looking at them.

An unknown pk/yellow pastel.

This deep red is another favorite of mine, the picture really doesn't do it justice.


mrp. yellow/pk, unknown.

Hey, this one is called 'Pandora's box!' relatively new in my garden.


This is a lovely intense pink with yellow center, name, as usual, unknown.


Name unknown, intense red. The blooms are thicker than a lot of daylily blooms.

This is a mini bloom, Grapette.


This may be the same red daylily as above. ? don't know.


this is a purple-colored daylily, don't know the name.


A sweet pink/yellow beauty.


hmm. close to the last one, but not the same color. Name unknown.

unknown pastel yellow/peach.

'Naomi Ruth'


similar to naomi ruth, smaller in size, but a double.

large pk and yellow beauty, name unknown.


one of the 'candy' daylilies, I think.

I showed this dark red/yellow spider -type daylily before.

So, how many does this make so far? 19. I'll get the rest in a few days,when I can get some nice pics.

Day-Lily-palooza

Thought I'd post a few of the daylilies that are blooming now. I could use a few more, don't you think? oh, I have a double orange that I don't have a picture of, will post it another day, i had to resize these so they wouldn't take forever to load.
