It's getting closer to peak bloom here and there's more daylilies everyday!

Becky Lynn (FFO)

Raining Violets (FFO)

Siloam David Kirchhoff

Musical Medley polytepal (if you flatten out the edges of this flower it is about 7")

Driving Me Wild

Siloam Leo Sharp (the color in this photo is truer than in the first photo I posted)

Rose Emily (the photo I posted yesterday turned out a little too orange)

Mokan Butterfly

Ferengi Gold

Magic Lace (consistently good flowers this first season and has great substance - last night at 8:30 it still looked almost as good as in this morning's photo)

Thanks for looking!

Juliet

P.S. Please let me know if these photos are too big - I can downsize them more next time.

Juliet, your daylilies are gorgeous. I love the Becky Lynn, Driving Me Wild and Rose Emily. I think I have Rose Emily...I need to double check my garden for her. And Magic Lace is just yummy.

Juliet,
Your blooms are looking very colorful and voluptuous this morning. I especially liked MAGIC LACE and DRIVING ME WILD.

Silverkelt, I'm surprised about the Bucks. They do so well for me. I love them, but I guess your weather and soil is quite different than here. Betty, You might not believe me, but I don't feed them.(Well the roses along the front walk do get pond water from when I clean the filter, but none of those are in this pic thread.) I do dig good holes and amend the soil when I plant and mulch well, but other than that they are pretty much on their own. I have added compost to Mme. Ernst Calvat in the past because she seem to have needed it. So once in a blue moon, I'll do that if a rose seems to be losing vigor, but most go for many years without any feeding. I also haven't even sprayed them in years with insecticidal soap or anything. So the foliage is what it is. I really haven't had serious foliage issues in year. Dr. Huey that came with the house (not shown) gets black spot pretty good every year, but he is in such a difficult space to get out, I've left him there. Maybe one day I'll remove him. So pretty much my garden is a tough love garden. I give you a good spot to put down roots, prune you once in awhile, if you seem to be starving, I'll feed you, but other than that, you are on your own, lol. Remy

Yes, thank you very much Mary. Not only did you show us something really neat, you took the time to show us how to do it! I would have never come up with that technique. I'd have looked at it, thought wow, that's neat but waaaaaaaaay too hard to sit at a machine and sew small strips together, LOL. I already have made several quilts where this would have been a lovely finish. Making mental notes to try this. Thanks again.

Prospect, I am just now getting the pleasure of seeing your beautiful kitchen. Couple of questions if you don't mind. How are you liking your soapstone sink? I just ordered samples from MTexeria and originally thinking a Shaw's farmhouse, but I love your soapstone! Also, your pendants, what brand are they? Your kitchen is great, my first thought was "tricked out". LOL Don't know why that popped in my brain, but it has a lot of cool stuff. Love the way you positioned the glass cabs, very good looking. Congrats!

Laminate floor suggestion for this room please! (Lots of photos)
Q

Right now you have a clash between the yellow maple cabs (which are being turned green with your lighting) and the chocolate/washed flooring. Total mismatch of undertones. That being said, the undertones are PERFECT for the fireplace AND the banister. You can look at a European Oak-look laminate. They often have tones of silver AND gold (small amounts of gold) in them. That could be enough to satisfy the kitchen (assuming you wish to update the lighting) and the dark banister/fireplace trim. Right now the banister and the fireplace trim are the STARS of the show in your space. Getting the gold/green in the cabinets to play nice with chocolate/black can be hard. There is one CERTAIN way to deal with this: Tile in the kitchen and laminate flooring everywhere else. Laminate flooring should NOT be installed in kitchens. They have MASSIVE issues with water/steam. The steam from dishwashers has been enough to cause a moderate priced laminate to bubble and peel inside of 3 years. The simplest answer is the obvious answer: split the two floors and allow the colour tones in each room to speak for themselves.

Thanks for posting such beautiful photos -- I know how time-consuming it is. You have lots I grow, but I don't have MUSICAL MEDLEY -- must remedy that!

Your pictures are wonderful. My photography is haphazard at best. What's your secret?

Thanks everyone - glad you liked them!

gdionelli - I try to take photos first thing in the morning before the sun is directly shining on the daylilies and I take several photos of each so I can pick the best one. But I think the camera does most of the work!

They are all gorgeous, and I had no problem with the photo size even with my dial-up.
Thanks. Jane

I buy my daylilies lots of places - I haven't traded for any yet. Some of my favorite daylilies are from my club sale (where they only cost $5). I'm planning (time permitting) to divide Raining Violets, Becky Lynn and Siloam David Kirchhoff (as well as Enchanted Butterfly, Iron Eyes and Sings the Blues) for the sale, but the other daylilies in the photos don't need to be divided yet. Anyone who lives nearby (Washington D.C. area) is welcome to come to the sale at 9 a.m. on August 11 - but be there early - the best stuff sells out quickly! Last year there were a few double fans of Lavender Blue Baby, but I didn't notice until they were all gone. I did get Mystic Mariner, Rainbow Radiance and Ethereal Beauty and I like all of them a lot.
