Shelly, it is your fault if I short out my computer from drooling! Wow, you have some absolutely gorgeous daylilies. Kansas Kitten is a new one to me, but to me it had perfect form and a satiny texture on the petals. Love its shape. I have never seen Portofino, but love the edge and color. I recognized Wild Irish right away. From the several pictures posted here, it seems to be quite consistent in its performance. Please keep posting your pictures - I enjoy them so much.

Lovely pics. I am looking forward to my Gaillardia blooms next year. I was lucky enough to get it as a bonus in a trade and I am waiting for my Canna's. I think the daylily is either Abba, Burgundy Express or Bela Lugosi. These are the three deep burgundy daylilies with which I am familiar and there are subtle differences in the shade of the throat, the presence or not of a rufled edge, and fragrance. Take a look online and compare.

Jill...you must have been posting at the same time I was, I missed you, sorry! :) Glad you enjoyed my dl's. Tammy...I'm sorry, I failed to answer your question about my camera. It's a Fuji Finepix S700. The macro and super macro capabilities are wonderful as is the 10x optical zoom. It really lets you get up close and personal with your blooms. LOL Shelly....I totally understand, my list just keep growing and growing and growing..kind of like that Energizer bunny, you know? :) I've had MM for a couple of years now, and it's really struttin it's stuff this season. FT is brand new and that was the FFO on it. It's one of my brightest dl's. Chris....You're gonna love AS, it's one of my favs, but then I've got so many fav's!! LOL Thanks for the comments, glad you enjoyed looking. Jan

Lrae - EVENING ENCHANTMENT is one of my older ones but I will always have it growing in my yard. It keeps that dark, and yes - Velvety - look all day - something hard to do in our Georgia hot sun. Shive - we need a dance to go along with that daylily.. love the color but admit buying it for the name..LOL Fairysoap - I USED to say I didn't like red daylilies.. now I seem to seek them out.. I probably have 40+ different reds and all of them are different.. nothing like that splash of color mixed in with the pastels. Shelly

Kay, you know I have really gorgous daylilies but these certainly are not them. This was when I was trying to extend the season by getting early bloom. A total failure as far as I am concerned. As soon as I realized what I would get (small yellow flowers) I decided Iris was the way to go and got into Tall Bearded and Siberian Iris. I figgured the TB would bloom first, then the Sibs, then the roses. But they are all blooming now although the TB did start first. LOUISE CLEMENTS and NEW ORLEANS are both Clements introductions from Heirloom Roses. I have lots of Clements roses and I simply love, love love them. They are just so beautiful. May I suggest if you start a rose garden you group a bunch of roses closer together for maximum impact instead of going for the one rose here and there type of planting. Then you leave space around the entire cluster of roses.

Oh Shelly, you have done it now. I am to old to keep adding to my garden. Blue Hippo surprises me. I bought Magnificent Hummingbird and Bird Talk to name the more expensive last year and the year before and was really disapointed until reblomm. BH has a good bloom. I have AF but really like Eternally Grateful & Portofino. Good pix for so late in the evening! Thanks for showing us! Ellie

How long have you had Blue Hippo? How does it perform, bud count, increase etc. Nice shots. Mike.

Wow Shelly, you've got some wonderful dl's. I love Portofino and Wild Irish and all the others too. :) Your AF is much lighter in color than mine, guess it could be faded from the sun and heat though.
Thanks for sharing your lovely dl's.
