A few more pictures today:

South Sea Serinade. Earlier pictures were less curved back & open, making for a flower close to 7 or 8". I had decided it wasn't SSS, but more recent flowers have been more like the pics on Tinkers.

Pictures of Birds Nest and/or Crocodile fern pictures ?

I have a fern which I feel must be the kind you inquire about. My friend, who gave it to me several years ago when it was about to die, called it an alligator birdnest fern. Today I was checking to try to identify it more exactly, and your post came up. Is this what you refer to? and it seems to me that it does multiply by clumping, because I am about to have a local nurseryman separate and repot it for me. I do not want to chance losing it now. Actually, the long fronds are greater than 2 feet long. And while we are on the subject, I found a different style birdnest fern at the nursery I spoke of, sort of a clubfoot version, different from my other wavy edged and straight edged bird nest ferns. I am quite fond of these plants, and give them a place of respect in the limited shade of my garden. Hope this helps.

Thank you everyone. Carol, some of my roses looks really bad because of blackspot, I'm seriously considering spraying them this weekend, the big three are GC, Heirloom and Sharifa. Laurie, that columbine was already there when we moved in, I don't know where the previous owners bought it from. I'm glad I kept it, it's so pretty. I've never seen that green lizard before yesterday, my cat drove them up the wall lol. I don't know if lizards are territorial but there seems to be one in every rose bed. Jean, I got that Jlj from Melva, I don't know how old it is, I'll ask her. She's absolutely a beauty. Leslie, thanks! I appreciate looking at bush shots when members posts them too. :)

If it is at all possible for you top post pictures of your plants, please do. This will help us with identification and allow us to see any problems. Also, if you have the original seed packet, please take a photograph of the front and the back so that we can read any information it may provide.

Oops, just checked to make sure the pictures looked ok & realized I didn't actually put in Mardi Gras Parade, the picture for MGP is really New Dawn.
Thanks for the complements :) SSS has been a wonderful daylily especially for the 1st year. Started out with a single fan, I had received 2 nice fans but put the other in a different spot where it has grown to 3 fans, but not bloomed this year. This one is now a large double fan, but has bloomed constantly. I almost liked it better with the 1st blooms, it was SO huge & the ruffles looked more like teeth & more evident. Persian Ruby is a beauty & just a good daylily. Orange Velvet didn't do well last year in our drought, I moved it & I think it really likes its new spot. Nice large flower & just perfect shape.

I wouldn't hesitate to buy Persian Ruby and Orange Velvet!
I think the solid colored blooms are easiest to landscape with.

Your El Desperado is magnificant! I'm very unhappy with mine. In the two years I've had it, the bloom never fully opens. It gets one more chance this year, and if it doesn't perform like yours, I'm giving it away!

Thanks for sharing,

El Despardo is one of my favorite clumps. Poses well for single shots as well. And of course SSS, any flower that is 7-8" and has a good color has to be a great daylily
