| JESCO - MY FIRST "DESIGNER" DAYLILY |
The beginning of my addiction ... this was the first "designer" daylily I purchased from the local daylily farm (a beautiful place in the country about thirty minutes from our home). The owner of the daylily farm is a fascinating lady named Marjorie with sparkling blue, wise (over eighty years wise) eyes, and she knows EVERYTHING about daylilies. Upon first impression, one would wonder if she's has ever left her daylily farm, but that's far from the truth. She's traveled the world and has many tales to tell. We go there for the daylilies and for the tales!
The name of this daylily is Jesco. I've haven't had very much luck finding any information about this daylily on the Internet since I purchased it. Jesco blooms three or four times per summer. The blooms are quite large and the petals have a tissue paper like consistency upon close inspection. Jesco was my husband's favorite daylily when I began collecting them, but I think he has "eyes for another" now ...

ReplyDeleteThe main differences are:
Bearded iris (there are different types of iris)need a lot of sun and they don't like too much water. They bloom in the early spring.
Daylilies also need a lot of sun and need quite a bit of water during the bloom season. If you have a variety of early, mid and late bloomers, they will bloom for approximately three months in the summer. There are thousands to choose from with different flower types, colors, heights & bloom size.
