I bought to many Daylilies !!!

Deanna, I will let you know next year when they have the sale and you can plan a trip!! Laughing

It was awesome. I have always seen the ads for the sale, but never paid much attention to it. I will mark my calender from now on!

Toni - I did google the names of a few. Metaphor is lavender. How did I ever get so lucky???? Razz

Many of the other names didn't come up, so I don't know what I really have! Rolling Eyes

The growers around here, get their own lilies ready and tie a colored band of some kind around them to determine price, along with the name. Greens were $3.00, Pink was $4.00 and Orange was $5.00. Then all the money goes back into the East Texas Daylily Growers Assoc.

Maybe Sharon will be familiar with the names and can tell me the colors.

They will be in containers...do they need full sun all day or what? And what about watering?

Will they bloom next year or will it take a year for them to establish themselves and surprise me? Razz

Gaylyn, I searched the AHS database and found these, I didn't search Metaphor since you know the color. With the hybridizer and the year it was introduced you should be able to find pictures of these, hopefully anyway. They all sound beautiful.

What size pots are you putting them in, that depends on if you want to divide them or not. They have a pretty big root system and need room to make new fans. I can't wait to see them blooming, and yes, you should get flowers next year, and maybe a surprise bloom or two this year.
