Miniature Daylilies

H. Baby Jessie (Eller-N  2005)

We attended the annual Mid Winter Symposium in Nashville last week. One of the sessions that I really enjoyed focused on the miniature and small daylilies. I checked my database and found that I grow only 16 of the miniature daylilies. When I checked for pictures, I found only one. I will have to remedy that when this bloom season starts.

 According to the information in the AHS database this cultivar was registered at 18" high with a bloom size of 2.75" and that it doubles 80% of the time.

There were so many beautiful ones shown at the meeting that I will be looking for a few more of these to add to the garden especially some of the ones with eyes that are a shade of blue.

Beautiful Orchids

While visiting the Marie Selby Botanic Gardens we enjoyed the orchids in the conservatory.

There were several in bloom on the day we visited .

I wish that I had spent more time in the conservatory but there was so much too see in this garden.

Phalaenopsis -Moth Orchid

One of the orchids that my husband has brought home for me. I love how long they bloom. Sometimes I am lucky enough to get them to re bloom. One of them is setting buds now and I will share a picture of it when it  blooms.
