Here we go again... almost a dozen this time.  (These are some that I had older photos of, but were not listed in this blog, for some reason.  Any newer photos will have to wait until another time.)

 Ohhhh, myyyyyyy.....  So many new daylilies, plus ones that I didn't have pics for, back when I was more active with the blog.  By the way, this blog, plus my Facebook albums, have been invaluable in figuring out my mystery plants.  Some are still mysteries; some that I thought I knew the identity of are now mysteries, because I was wrong.  But a number of mysteries have been solved and identified!
I can upload several older pics now, but I do need to check first on what's already here, so it'll be only some of what I have.  Also, I don't see how to upload more than a very few, so I'll do more later.  These are some older ones I did not have photos of here on the blog.

Well, the order got reversed, but that's OK.  I'll add more later tonight, I think.  I've forgotten how to do some of this blog stuff, but I'll relearn it. 

Hello again -- I'm finally back!

 My last post was in 2016 -- this is now June of 2021!  I've done very little with the gardens since the accident, mostly due to my energy issues.  I tried last summer to identify as many of the daylilies as I could, since their labels had faded terribly over the years.  Hint: Sharpie markers are NOT permanent markers!  They won't stand up to multiple Maine winters.  Just past the peak of bloom season, I got sick (not Covid!) and just wasn't quite myself for weeks.  Again, energy.  Soooo... THIS year, I'm determined to do better.  Energy isn't terrific (I'm still working) but it's much improved. I just have to stay out of trouble, LOL! 
I've purchased a very few daylilies since the accident, about a half dozen new ones out there, but I didn't make a note of what went where.  I do know where two of them are, and I do have records of the names of the others.  There's also the issue of where the potted ones went, that were planted by those nice, helpful Master Gardener ladies, in the autumn of 2015.  I'll find 'em -- this blog should help a lot!  And this year, I have purchased nearly a couple dozen new or replacement daylilies.  Weather has turned HOT, and I have to get these babies into the ground soon, but perhaps not today.  Supposed to rain for two days, starting tomorrow, so that will prevent my planting anything until later in the week.  I'll have to go out into today's heat. Yes, I'll take frequent breaks! 
I'll have several photos coming soon, but only a couple today, as we are still in the "Extra Early" time block of blooming, and in the past I've posted a couple of those already in bloom.  Last year, I found that walking around the gardens making video notes worked quite well, as I can "label" as I speak.  I won't post videos here, though.  They were also useful through the fall, winter, and spring, to review.  I usually upload my flower photos directly to Facebook now (yes, the accident changed even how I do that!) so uploading to here may take some extra steps.  Let's get started!

Above is a very, very old cultivar, by Yeld, called ORANGEMAN.  It was introduced in 1902!  It's an EE (Extra Early) and was the first in my gardens to bloom, beating out my usual first, Elizabeth. 
I think I'll be moving it to a better spot (or two!) this year.

Now, this one was a mystery for awhile, but I do keep fairly good records, and an Early-mid season bloomer was noted as being in this exact location.  This one is blooming with the EE's, and some other details don't quite jibe with the database.  For all intents and purposes, I have to call this one. 
It's NADA, by Stout, 1934. 
There is a possibility that I was not sent the correct plant, but I really don't want to believe that of that vendor. 
I've been investigating.  The vendor's description works correctly with my plant, but is not in keeping with the official database.  Their photo of Nada does look the the official one, in ways that this one does not.  I might have to move this one to the "Garden of the Unknowns." 

As more of the newer dayliles bloom in my yard, I'll be posting more photos through the summer.  It's good to be back!
