Peppermint Pinwheel really caught my eye...a ton of blooms on that clump! It's been sooo wet here, too in NJ, I wonder if I'll find a turtle lurking..lol. Okay now, how will you store the pollen and how long will they last?

Gorgeous daylilies. I am always in awe of all you daylily collectors. The turtle is awesome.
Lots of beauty and fun over here. Have you posted your endeavors with pollen, etc??
such a variety of daylillies. I buy them, then they all grow orange. got any ideas? Lovely blog.
I had to share your garden via a link in my post today. I'm just ga-ga over your blooms! Thank you so much for faithfully recording the daylilies via photographs!
And I vow soon there will be a garden dedicated to daylilies at my place as well. But how will I ever chose which ones to buy???
(note to self: start a wish list journal NOW!)
Hope you don't mind. I added a link to your site via my post today. :-)
Garden greetings from Vermont!
The rain that you mentioned in mid June has not stopped in Vermont since then. Sunday there was a little sunshine but not enough to make the daylilies really bloom. We have about 50 blooming now but the cold nights are slowing things. Some daylilies are blooming on very short scapes alomost at ground level. Certainly cannot say that the plants haven't grown well although I noticed last night that the tarnished bugs, Lygus lineolaris, have come out of hiding along with the sun.
Hope we all see some real sunshine soon!

What an incredible variety of daylilies you have here. Wow.
I have a mere two, but lots of Oriental and Asiatic lilies, which also have a fantastic range of color, form and scent.
