Ultra Modern Daylilies
Seriously! For fifteen bucks, you can buy "Hyperion", one of the most
gorgeous yellow daylillies in existence. "Iris Cohen" wrote in message ... These are some remarkable beauties and many will be sold out within the next 48 hours and the $200 prices do not deter the diehard daylily fanatics. $200 for a daylily? Vey is mir.

Robert Lowell (1917-1977) Any new cultivar of any new plant variety is pricy. New hybrids of daylilies are no exception. The serious hybridizer, seller, grower will buy a cutting edge daylily for its genes that produce a new color, new eye pattern, maximum bud counts and branching. They want to use in their own crosses or increase it to sell while the price is still high. Also there are always the elite gardeners that want the first of any cultivar. Have you checked the price of a new, non tissue cultured Hosta, or a new non tissue cultured Iris? Or even any new non tissue cultured perennial? Oh heck, have you checked the licensing price the garden center must pay to be able to grow and sell The Wave petunia? Those $200 daylilies are priced that way because there are only a hand full of that particular cultivar in the whole world. Not making excuses for the prissiness, but explaining why there is a market for those high priced lovelies. Wil |

You're paying too much - according to Eureka ( a daylily price guide)
Hyperion goes for $5 a double fan. Cheryl On 7/21/04 9:19 AM, in article , "Doug Kanter" wrote: Seriously!

If you are paying $15 for Hyperion you are paying about 3 times what the value is among daylily growers. And you will be getting a tissue cultured plant from your garden center that may or may not perform up to what a plant division is of Hyperion that made it popular many years ago. Wil |

Yeah, but I'm thinking even if you DID pay that much, it's still just as
pleasurable to grow as a $200 monster. Maybe even more so. "Cheryl Isaak" wrote in message ... You're paying too much - according to Eureka ( a daylily price guide) Hyperion goes for $5 a double fan.

Not to change the topic, but could you explain why a tissue culture would
perform differently than a plant division? I though tissue cultures were an exact clone. "Wil" wrote in message ... "Doug Kanter" wrote in message ... Seriously!

frankly I prefur the nice clumps of day lilies I get at my garden
center for $10.00 and I get a nice selection of colors and mine bloom quite nicely for almost three and a half weeks and some times I get late stalks with nice blooms after even that if he gets some one to pay that price per plant than those folks are crazy and he's a damn genius On Wed, 21 Jul 2004 14:24:40 GMT, "Vox Humana" wrote: "Robert" wrote in message news:SGkLc.113795$WX.60069@attbi_s51...

I don't like them, they look like diseased mutants~ There were some that I would be happy to own, but not at that price. I can't see planting daylilies as specimen plants. I like them in large clumps that can be viewed at a distance. If you only have a couple plants, they bloom for three days and then are gone. Large clumps give a nice display for two or three weeks. |
