Finally we are back to high eighties and the daylilies love it:

Here are some of today's blooms:

Karen Stephens Kinn:

{{gwi:711490}}

I love Sinister Minister:

Billy Maryott's Dilemma:

{{gwi:711492}}

Betty Ford:

And a clump of Black Fathom Depths:

{{gwi:680960}}

I will post more after a bit.

Ah heck! I am really loving another brand new one and I have to post it:

Brazen Bandit:

It is a rich gold color, and the eye looks black (the sun distorts it...I have to start using manual again.)

Hurray for the daylily blooms! Not warm here at all, raining again too. That last one sure is a looker, and striking color contrasts. I do love Karen Stephens Kinn. You know I love the red ones.

The last one, BRAZEN BANDIT, is definitely eye catching. Look at the contrasting edge on that one.
Glad to see your dls are opening up again.

Jeff, I miss your beautiful flowers and photos!!!! I keep checking back at the Rose Gallery for your latest, but can't find you alas! I want to stalk again, hee-hee! maryl, I had to laugh, because I too am a midnight owl person, yet still! dragged myself out of bed at 6:00 a.m. in the morning with only 3 hours of sleep, but by 7:45 a.m. I had to stop working in the garden because it was getting to be way too muggy even then! So I crawled back to bed to take a brief snooze...By the time I woke up again, I felt as though I had been hit by a train. I was so groggy and tired. And I still tortured myself with 5 minutes-at-a-time deadheading and checking out my flowers leaves and herbs, then racing back to the shelter of my house...Poor Eluane, she's got long fur, but because she is a busy-body sheepherding Border Collie, she always wants to check up on what I'm doing...she's even more of a masochist than her Mama! and will follow me faithfully out to the garden Every Single Time. And for the rest of our week it will be: 98, 97, 96,97,95 and hurray, a breakthrough turning point of ...91 on Sunday...But I'm sure 91 is nothing compared to the 100s of late July that I'm expecting.

Condilla always does look good, doesn't it Rita. It starts out double & is consistent, every bloom is picture perfect. Great little double daylily, & I'm not big on doubles :) Thanks Kay. The first blooms on that seedling were ok, but the last few have been much nicer. I really like the color of it. I need to get out & water too, Celeste. they are saying we have a remote chance of rain tonight though, so I'm going to wait. I really should water though, that would up my chances of rain, I'm sure. I think you are right Debra, it might be a great bridge plant. I can't think what I could have pollinated New Dawn with to have gotten this height, about all I had then I can think of was Firestorm or Autumn Minaret. And neither of those have this kind of bud count. There are 4 scapes, one has 29, 2 have 37, & one has 39. Hush Little Baby is lighter today than it was yesterday, must be the heat. Part of it though is my new camera. It isn't an expensive one but I would think a Nikon would get better pictures than an older Kodak, but it doesn't. I keep meaning to get my old camera out & charge it up. It had been having problems, but nothing I couldn't work with for this. Of course, it could be operatoritis too.

Viewing your photos is better that browsing through a DL catalog! Your clump shots are wonderful because they show different angles of the same flower. You've sold me on Eagle Nest. On my monitor it looks as if it has a lavender watermark...stunning. I've also added two more to my list: Create Your Dream - love the form & bright y-gr throat! Pink Rocks - The bright y-gr throat and white midribs stole my heart! Thanks for enabling, Julie

In the NO ID Group shot, the only clue I have to the ID of the pinkish UFO type is that its an old Wild's daylily that I brought here from my previous house. Means I had to have had it for 25 years. Edward- You can see why there was the immediate waiting list for HTTT. If it acts anything like STUMBLING STONE, the edge will get more promounced as it settles in. kay- I like my NO IDs and would not part with them. Before I got the daylily crazies and got on this forum, I saw no reason to keep tags so lots of NO IDs.

Hi, Thanks for looking:

Yes, Rita, I know you and red, (me too) and I had three reds blooming today.

Julia and Cracking the Concrete, When I was perusing daylily pictures last fall, I found Brazen Bandit and had to had it. The colors are different than any I've seen. I'll try to get a non=sun influenced picture of it.

Julia, I didn't care for that type of weather this time of year...happy to have normalcy again.

C-the C, No Limbo stick?

Rita we had a week or so of very cool weather, and the daylilies wouldn't open and didn't like it. It will be hot this week, but much more bloom ready. Have some hot chocolate and gget warm.

I was inwardly trying to figure out if your ladder incident while painting the shed was a one-time thing or if you might hurt someone if we had a large stick present. ;) teasing *hugs*

Wow, what a nice group. I love the velvety red of Karen Stephens Kinn, Sinister Minister is very different & I like it. I think my favorite is Brazen Bandit. I have Dilemma, a really great daylily here.

Thank you all for looking.

Debra,Yes, as you certainly know, they love heat.

Kathy, I always feel that way. That's why I buy so many.

Jean, Thank you. It is hot and humid, but good for our daylilies.

We could use the heat, I think my iris need a bit of baking, some are looking mushy. I have BFD and that is a great group shot. I can see why you had to go out and get Brazen Bandit!! I also love Sinister Minister, and that was one I had to go out and get!

Love K S Kinn - that's one fine looking red daylily. I had Dilemma when we lived in the country. It seems to be long gone now. Thanks for posting the pics - I may just buy it again, if it doesn't turn up among the "unknowns" that have yet to bloom.

Cindy, I never realized how hard it is for blooms to open in cooler weather. No wonder some of the Southern ones don;t do well in the north.

Nancy, KSK didn't do much last year(her first, but she is lovely now.

Thank you for looking Christine.
Ben, I am always heavy on deep colors and especially go overboard on the dramatic eyed or watermarked daylilies. Thank you.
