I couldn't pass this one up today at our local nursery. Called "Primal Scream" its an Proven winners type.Huge flowers that remind you of an exotic orchid.Very thick rubbery petals and sepals.The color stands out from a block away!
Kyle :-)
New addition
Mine doesn't pinch like that. I have had it for 9 years now.
PRIMAL SCREAM
Thats what drew me to this one was that unique twist of the sepals, can't even capture the shade of orange, reminds me of a very old hybrid called "Haleakala".

Kyle.. I bought several Teeth daylilies this spring, If you want to get started on some teeth daylilies let me know. I have several colors that I am going to get rid of this fall That I paid good money for but now I have several fans of the same color that you can have. Your only 20 minutes away from me so stop by or call me.

I think I would call it neon orange. It is very unique for sure and I love mine.
My PRIMAL SCREAM isn't pinched like that either Cindy.

I bought three potted from a local garden center for $5.00 each, a really good price compared to some outrageous $$$$ I've seen. After two years in the garden less than impressed they averaged only 7 buds on three scapes and they are not so special. I'm not sure why there is so much hype when orange is such a common color, glad I didn't spend $$$$$.
Everyone have that one but me. It is always at the top of the various region polls.
Linda, welcome back from hibernation. LOL!!
I just bought a new one from Nicole's Daylilies, Here is the picture
Here are a few more teeth daylilies that I have..I want to get Eclipse (Kyle) to get started in these, He lives 20 minutes from me.
Roseman, I sense that you are going to have tons of FUN in the garden in the years to come as you anticipate the blooms from your teeth crosses. You definitely have a great selection to start with. Mike
A word of caution for those who may not know: Oftentimes, the DLs available at the local gardening centers are what is known as "Tissue Culture". It is a process of "cloning" utilized for very rapid increase. They seldom are true to the original. Early on in my DL addiction, I was unaware of this and got burned a few times by inferior quality DLs that were tissue culture. Since I learned about these "Frankenstein" daylilies, I ALWAYS buy direct from reputable DL growers or breeders. Yes, they cost more, but there is a reason for that.
Mike, Your not the only one who doesn't have Primal Scream. I don't have it either. lol It's not on my want list either.
Roseman, Beautiful Teeth you have! lol That is a beautiful lineup there! Can't wait to see some of your kids from them.
I, too, have 'Primal Scream'. I just love everything about it, even though I'm not a huge orange fan. It IS hard to set pods on, but it's pollen is good. I like just about anything of Curt Hanson.
Roseman2, your Nicole Harry DLs are absolutely gorgeous! (However, they are out of my "price" range.) I primarily like UFO's and have been buying many of those of late. However, I am a FOOL for any pretty, full form daylily. Especially toothy ones! I just got my first-ever tooth/fang DL yesterday. It is Benz 'Tooth and Nail'. (Click on link to see it)

Wow - Roseman, wish I lived 20 min from you! I love those toothed beauties..... ok , well, in reality, maybe you need to live 20 min from me because ya'lls winter has been WAYYY too rough for this girl! ^_^ Love those - you will sure have some beautiful blooms come summer.
I don't have primal scream either, but it has been on my wish list for a while now. I just haven't picked it up when I was buying. I hope to get it soon. MAYBE we will be staying where we are and won't have to move all the DLs and I will feel more comfortable about adding new ones!! Wishing now that I had added all those daffodil bulbs I had intended to last fall, but I didn't see the point if I wasn't going to be here to see them. Now, at least, it seems we will be staying in our home, so guess I will plan on adding them in the fall.
Anxiously awaiting DL blooms...................... (one can always dream........)

Just FYI, Blueridge/Bob is selling 'Primal Scream' on the LA. He just posted it.
Here is the address: http://www.daylily.com/cgi-bin/auction.cgi?cultivarshaspider&1397580842
Scandinavia went for $91 on the LA today. I hope my small plant survived the winter. Divided in two to increase the odds last fall.
@ Eclipse (and everyone else), your beautiful daylily reminds me of one from the south. I haven't had enough coffee for my brain to be on track yet. But, the one I'm thinking of, was found on someone's compost pile and introduced by ????. I believe it may be called ' "someone's" Loss'. (I'll post it later when it comes to me.)
Hah! Got it! It reminds me of 'Charlie's Loss' by James Townsend. It is on Tinker's Garden.
Joy, That DL with your name is a beauty!
I just had my 1st daylily bloom today, It was a long winter & when i thought winter was over and with the warm weather the temps got up in the 80's so I uncovered tha daylilies & then the temp dropped down to 16 degrees. The daylilies started to come up then died back down.
Congrats on your bloom...................share it on the June bloom thread - and the blooms to come.
Glad your winter is finally over.....
