ladylovingdove,

Thanks for sharing your pictures! I think 'Goldenzelle' is my favorite of this group, although 'Voodoo Dancer' is a fantastic color. I'm finally starting to see the attraction of doubles.

Dot, thank you for posting those gorgeous pics. Sherry Candy is my favorite and I will have to have that one soon. AA is a lovely one also to add to my list. HAI & LH are a couple more to add to the wish list. I got Pugsley last year as an extra but I still am not sure that I like it. It bloomed here but was not impressive. Thank you again for the lovely color on this very dreary day...Ellie

Excellent photos of gorgeous blooms! I love seeing them on this cold winter's day.

Debra

I'll take one of each, please.

Dot, they are all beautiful. If you had to choose between BORN TO RUN and WILD IRISH, which do you prefer?

Kathy

Thanks everyone.
Kathy, thats a hard question but somehow I think I like Wild Irish a little better. It seems to be a little fancier. Its so hard sometimes to pick a favorite.

Dot

Love lavender hearthrob, so many stars and dang it gotta have Destined to see. Every time I see that one without even seeing the name I am ohh and ahhh over it.
Jill

Beautiful,Dot. Thanks for a break from the winter blues.

Thanks, Dot! I was just debating whether or not to give 'Pugsley' a try - I'd like to breed for some taller, mini-flowered daylilies, and that one catches my eye every time I see it (for its color). It's evergreen, so I don't know how tolerant it would be of my climate. Some evergreens do just fine for me, but I've only got a few to play with. Mostly I have sev and dormant ones.

'So Many Stars' is just gorgeous, too. Another to look up. . . .

Laurel

Pugsley was a gift from the Trimmers when I won a couple of auctions from them. I wasn't too impressed with the first couple of flowers but it got better. It's a really cute mini.
Lavender Heartthrob was the same way, it bloomed when the nights were still cold and the first flower was UGLY. But when it warmed up it became this beautiful lavender color.
Destined to See was another gift plant, it didn't do much the first year. The second year it was beautiful.

You really have some gorgeous daylilies.All just beautiful.I Really love that Sherry Candy,,Born to Run,,Last Snowflake,Victorian Lace amd that Pugsley. I will have to find that Pugsley one day just for the name of it.I dearly love the pug puppies.I had a fawn Pug puppy for about 5 months,until the vet gave me the wrong medicine for it and killed it.Thanks for showing us your photos to brighten another cloudy cold day.

Ohhhhh, Dot, what a feast! That WILD IRISH is really something! Thanks for sharing such nice pictures!

Dot,
What a pick-me-up on this cold winter morning! Thank you for sharing. Gorgeous blooms and really nice pictures.

I purchased several seed crosses with Some Sweet Day and I actually like the color blend better in your garden pictures than those that were posted elsewhere. It looks softer in yours- more rose pink than violet/lavender- so the color contrast is not so overwhelming.

I've been looking at several of the others too. Always nice to see what they look like in someone's garden pictures compared to the carefully doctored pix you sometimes see.

I especially like 'So Many Stars' but don't ask me to pick a favorite either.

Dot, Your pix sure do brighten a dreary, overcast day!!! I love your picture of 'Answering Angels'. I picked up a DF of that one on the LA to be shipped in the spring. Your pix is better than the one the seller had posted on the auction. I never got to see 'Wild Irish' bloom in my garden....lost it to crown rot. I did buy another one, which is also due to arrive in the spring. Hope this time it survives. It sure looks gorgeous in your photo.

Berrytea,
I got HUGE fans of Some Sweet Day directly from the Stamiles last spring. The first flowers looked more like the Stamile pic, but when it rebloomed and the weather was warmer, it became this beautiful soft color which i liked better also.
I'm looking for more pictures to post,,hmmmmm let me see LOL

Crimson Sheen I love this so much I have two clumps, one in a big huge pot on the front sidewalk
{{gwi:647957}}

and last but not least my favorite flower "Gizmo"
{{gwi:647958}}

WOW!!! Crismon Sheen and Gizmo are my favorites. This is my first time to see Crismon Sheen. I'm a huge fan of reds, so this one will go on my must have list.

I have a "Munchkin" cat that keeps the voles on the run in my garden. He rules all of us, including my 2 dogs and all the kids and grandkids. No one bothers him where ever he may make his bed. This maybe the back of the couch, the bed, in the middle of the floor, or hidden in or under any piece of furniture. Don't we all just love our four legged babies??

Blessings to all, Mona

Munchkin looks kinda mean, I do believe I would not bother him either LOL Gizmo is a spoiled rotten house cat. He sleeps wherever he likes too.

Dot

Wow! Dot,
I've been looking for red/orange throat dl all day and Bold Encounter sure looks like a beauty. The description at Tinkers say's it has a "green throat" but I sure can't see it from any pictures I've seen yet. Does yours show any green?

Here is another picture, I never noticed the throat before.
