That is a beautiful daylily! Thanks for posting. Marg

Butter Cream is outstanding. I saw it for the first time last summer at a daylily show and could not stop looking at it. I just wish it wasn't so hard to find and so super expensive!

THANK YOU all so much for looking and taking the time to comment. Your feedback makes the effort to post worthwhile! I enjoy all your remarks and input. It seems Stargate Portal was the big hit and it is well-deserved. For many years I coveted this one and swore I would get my hands on it. I feared it wouldn't live up to my expectations but it is every bit as stunning (and a great bloomer and increaser in my garden) as I dreamed. The color is exactly as you see in my photo.....it has not been enhanced. I have well over 400 cultivars now and yet this one is still 'wowing' me. To answer questions, Mantis: Tiramisu is brand-new and just 2 fans but bloomed from being planted in June. Therefore I can't evaluate it this year. The cream spider in the 2nd landscape shot is 'Shaker Dance'. A closer shot of it follows. Nat, Prediction looks fine this year but last year I did sometimes find it looking a little funky now and then. I did add about 30 new daylilies this year, less than what I usually acquire. I am running out of room but that still won't stop me....lol. Celeste

Ok , I don't have the type of daylily listed on my spread sheet so based on that list from Cottage in the Meadow , I went through it and listed ones I have grown here with comments . i.e. does well, died , weak , whatever thoughts I had about them . It is by no means all of the ev's I have or have grown but this was the easiest way and less time consuming to go through the list and when I recognized a name I checked against my spreadsheet . Also a note of interest ......we get very little snow cover in winter and go through cycles of freeze /thaw over and over again combine that with heavy heavy clay that my plants grow in I think I am lucky any survive. I have always said if a daylily survives here it will survive anywhere . So for what it is worth , here is the list : EVERGREENS THAT I HAVE GROWN HERE IN ZONE 6 A ACROSS THE GALAXY DIED ADA MAE MUSICK DOES JUST FINE HERE AERIAL DISPLAY EV ONLY A SINGLE FAN , NOT MUCH INCREASE YET BUT STRONG SINGLE FAN ALTER EGO ......LOST IT ALTERED STATE ......JUST ADDED WILL HAVE TO LET YOU KNOW APRON STRINGS DOES OK HERE ATTRIBUTION DOES JUST FINE HERE AVA GARDNER ADDED 2017 DOING FINE HERE AWESOME BLOSSOM DOES WELL HERE BALI WATERCOLOR GROWS WELL HERE BATMAN HAS ALWAYS DONE WELL BUT THIS SPRING BEAT THE HECK OUT OF IT BE THINE DIED BEAUFORT SLIM PITKIN DOES FINE HERE BEST KEPT SECRET DOES WELL HERE BILLIE STENNETT GROWS BUT DOESNT INCREASE WELL BLACK PLUSH DOES FINE HERE BONNIE HOLLEY DOES OK HERE CAMEROON NIGHT DOES FINE HERE CAMEROONS DOES FINE HERE CANADIAN BORDER PATROL DOES FINE HERE CANYON COLORS JUST ADDED LAST YEAR CHINESE TEMPLE FLOWER DIED CHORUS LINE DOES FINE HERE COLLECTOR'S CHOICE DIED CORFU DOES FINE HERE DAN MACK MITCHELL ADDED IN 2017 WAITING TO SEE HOW IT DOES DESTINED TO SEE DOES JUST FINE HERE DIAMOND GIRL DIED DIXIE ROOSTER DOES JUST FINE HERE DIZZY MISS LIZZY ( SEV) TRIED TWICE DIED TWICE DRAGON KING GROWS WELL BUT NOT A LOT OF INCREASE EDGE OF DARKNESS ADDED 2016 DOING WELL HERE EIGHT MILES HIGH ....WEAK AND THEN FADED OUT EGYPTIAN IBIS DOES WELL HERE EMMAUS GROWS WELLL HERE FLYING TRAPEZE DOES GREAT HERE FOL DE ROL IS WEAK FOOLED ME DOES JUST FINE HERE FORTY SECOND STREET DIED FRINGE BENEFIT DOES OK HERE GET JIGGY ONLY SECOND YEAR HERE BUT DOING WELL GINNY MITCHELL DIED BUT MAY HAVE BEEN BAD LOCATION IN GARDEN ...TOO MUCH SHADE GOD SAVE THE QUEEN ...ADDED IN 2017 AND STILL HERE GREEN REVOLUTION HAS SURVIVED 2 WINTERS HERE GREAT SMOKEY MOUNTAIN ....ADDED IN 2017 ....STILL HERE NOT MUCH INCREASE HARBOR BLUE GROWS HERE BUT NOT ROBUST HEAVENLY STARFIRE DOES JUST FINE HERE IDA'S MAGIC DOES JUST FINE BUT NOT MUCH INCREASE IGOR .....JUST ADDED IT THIS SPRING ISTANBUL MAGIC SURVIVED ITS FIRST WINTER HERE THIS PAST WINTER JAN'S TWISTER DOES FINE HERE JENNY BUTTERFIELD DIED JOAN SENIOR DOES FINE HERE JOLLY RED GIANT DOES FINE HERE JULIE NEWMAR DIED JUNGLE PRINCESS DIED LACE COOKIES GROWS FINE HERE LAUGHING SKIES DOES JUST FINE HERE LAVENDER DEW DOES FINE HERE LEEBEE ORANGE CRUSH GROWS LIKE CRAZY HERE LINES OF SPLENDOR DOES FINE HERE LOIS BURNS DOES FINE HERE LONG STOCKING DID WELL HERE FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS THEN DIED (DUE TO DROUGHT AND THEN TOO MUCH RAIN ) LOTUS POSITION DOES WELL HERE MAGIC LAKE DOES FINE HERE MAL .......DIED MARKED BY LYDIA DOES FINE HERE MARSEILLES WATERCOLOR GROWS OK HERE BUT NOT ROBUST MATISSEE DOES WELL HERE MAYLAYSIAN MARKET DOES FINE HERE MILDRED MITCHELL DOES FINE HERE MORTICIA DOES OK HERE MOUNTAIN VIOLET DOES WELL HERE NANUQ DOES FINE HERE NARANJA GROWS HERE BUT NOT FAST INCREASER NIGHT BEACON DID WELL BUT ULTIMATELY GOT TAKEN OVER BY WEEDS AND DIED HAD IT FOR SEVERAL YEARS DID NOT REPLACE AS TOO SHORT FOR MY LIKING NILE PLUM GROWS OK HERE NUTMEG ELF DOES WELL HERE ON SILKEN THREAD GROWS WELL HERE OLLY OLLY OXEN FREE .....DIED ORANGE GROVE .......DIED PAGAN RITUAL GROWS OK BUT NOT A FAST INCREASER PAINTED LADY GROWS WELL HERE BUT NEEDS MORE SUN FOR BLOOMS PALACE GARDEN BEAUTY GROWS FINE HERE PANDORA'S BOX GROWS WELL HERE PATRICIA SNIDER MEMORIAL DOES WELL HERE PATSY BICKERS ......LIVES HERE BUT MAY NEED MORE SUN TO FLOURISH PEARL HARBOR DOES JUST FINE HERE PEACOCK MAIDEN GORWS WELL HERE PIPING ROCK .....LOST THIS ONE OVER WINTER PRINCESS OF WALES DOES FINE HERE PURSEUS SANDALS GROWS OK HERE BUT NOT A FAST INCREASER QUASIMODO GROWS WELL HERE REINE DES VIOLETTES DIED HERE SAHARA SAND STORM DIED SANTA'S LITTLE HELPER HAVE LOST IT TRYING AGAIN SAVE THE CHILDREN DOES WELL HERE SIR BLACKSTEM GROWS WELL HERE SO MANY STARS DOES WELL HERE SOUTHERN CORAL .......HERE BUT WEAK AND NOT DOING WELL SPACECOAST SEA SHELLS GROWS OK BUT LITTLE INCREASE SPACECOAST SHARP TOOTH GROWS WELL HERE SPACECOAST SONATA LOST IT STAR OF INDIA PLANTED FALL 2018 STRUGGLING HERE THIS SPRING STRAWBERRY FIELDS FOREVER GROWS WELL HERE STREET URCHIN DOING OK TANGERINE HORSES ........LOST IT TENNESSEE FLYCATCHER GROWS WELL HERE THIN MAN GREW WELL HERE UNTIL THIS SPRING ( FREEZE THAW AND STANDING WATER THUNDERCAT DOING WELL HERE (2 YEARS) TIME LORD GROWS FINE HERE TOOTH GROWS WELL HERE TROPICAL DISTURBANCE GROWS WELL HERE TUOLUMNE FAIRY TALE GROWS OK BUT NOT A FAST INCREASER TUSCAWILLA BLACKOUT GROWS WELL HERE TUSCAWILLA TIGRESS GROWS WELL HERE TWO PART HARMONY LOST IT VENUS FLYTRAP FIRST WINTER HERE THIS YEAR VICTORIAN RIBBONS GROWS WELL HERE WAY COOL LOST IT WEB OF INTRIGUE GROWS WELL HERE WHITE BASE LOST IT WILD AND WONDERFUL JUST ADDED THIS ONE THIS YEAR WILD HORSES GROWS WELL HERE WINGS ON HIGH GROWS WELL HERE WISPY RAYS GROWS WELL HERE WONDER OF IT ALL GROWS FINE HERE XYLOPHONE JAZZ IS DOWN TO ONE VERY WEAK FAN .FINGERS CROSSED IT CAN COME BACK FROM THIS WINTERS HARSH CONDITIONS Hope this is of some use.
