Todaylily is the blog of Terry Oates, past President of Garden State Daylily Growers Club in New Jersey. Terry has since moved from Philadelphia to Verona, PA (Pittsburgh) where he's hybridizing stippled (dotted) and striped daylilies because he likes weird stuff.

Cleopatra, Queen of da Style
Rosy Returns (Apps) is one of only 7 cultivars blooming today. Of course two of the others are Stella De Oro and Happy Returns.
Origin Stories bloomed the second, final bud on a proliferation, so tomorrow I'll cut the prolif off and stick it in water, to hopefully develop roots before winter.
Here's the queen of the day, Cleopatra. New to the garden this year from Florida, it may not rebloom next year, but I'm loving it while it's here. This scape has over a dozen buds.
Darryl Apps' Sunset Returns is a good rebloomer, and has an interesting edge.
Don't look at this single bloom on Big Time Happy today, look at the two scapes full of buds. And there's a third. Why don't more people have this one?
