What beautiful Eyes you have! Your Elegant Candy looks much more pink than mine does they are stunning. Purify My Heart and Apache War Dance are my Favs.

I think I need a bed for just my eyed daylilies, I meant to move a bunch around last year & do that. It seems as though they would look too "busy", but yours look wonderful. Love every one of your daylilies!

Great Saturday bloomers! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE APACHE WAR DANCE! It sure is bright and very beautiful. My favorite Dale Thomas intro no question. I was all set to make PURIFY MY HEART my favorite of the bunch until I came to APACHE WAR DANCE. You know there is nothing like the clear white with soft pink like PURIFY MY HEART. So I make it a tie and vote them both favorite for today.

I agree with Rita. Both are beautiful!

Gorgeous! My absolute fav is PERSEUS' SANDALS followed closely by PURIFY MY HEART and the seedling show real promise. They are all very nice

Alexa

Everything looks wonderful my favorites are your seedling,Butter Pecan and Wild Red Heart. It's so nice to see so many blooms my blooms are few and far between so I need my fix.
Linda

I so absolutely LOVE clump shots. These are breath taking.They are photographed so well too. So pretty to see the companion perennials peeking around the edges of the picture. To have so many open at once and still have all those plump buds in waiting. I would have a hard time sleeping waiting for the next morning. I would be running out there at first light.
Elizabeth

wow! YOU HAVE SOME GREAT LOOKING blooms for this very hot saturday, here.I just love I REMEMBER YOU, followed by EL DESPERADO. my two favorites. But, I also just love APACHE WAR DANCE, too.I do love reds.

Jean

You must be nearing peak bloom with all those wonderful clumps shots.
I like them all but COROLLA LIGHT and APACHE WAR DANCE really caught my eye. AWD reminds me of FLAMING WILDFIRE which has that same brightness to it but AWD is much rounder in form.

Julia

Excellent, but the first shot of CRAZY IVAN and I REMEMBER YOU is my favorite.
Kathy

I love a lot of color, and you have it, so that's good.

Apache War Dance is beautiful, and Bohemia After Dark is my kind of bloom. Moonlit Masquerade is cooming to live with me thanks to your pictures, but I Remember You is my favorite, Hands don!
kay

Persues Sandals is my pick but you have many beautiful ones. I love Crazy Ivan and I remember You. They look good together. Wow to them all!! Ellie

Andrea, Rita and Bigack - Purify My Heart and Apache War Dance are very distinctive daylilies.

Ngraham - I like the look of the eyed ones together. But I have a few solids in that bed to ground them.

Alexa - Perseus' Sandal is just a gigantic bloom. It makes a big statement in the garden. Thanks for the comment about my seedling.

Linda - I'm always thrilled when someone picks my seedling! Butter Pecan is one I've tried to get here for several years, and finally succeeded last fall. The photo of Wild Red Heart was my favorite single bloom today. I love edge and the contrast between the petal and sepal colors.

Elizabeth - I'm glad you enjoyed seeing the companion perennials with the daylilies. And I do get out there pretty early most mornings. I'm always anxious to see what's open and looking pretty.

Jean - I Remember You makes a beautiful clump. And it will stay a nice clump for a couple of weeks now. So will El Desperado.

Julia - I'm actually past my first peak. My early-mid peak was three days ago. Because I have so many later bloomers, I'll have another peak of ML and late bloomers sometime within the next week or so.

Kathy - Those two Smith intros really like to show off together.

Kay - I Remember You is without a doubt my best performing purple.

Debra

Apache War Dance grow like a weed. I wonder what Crazy Ivan does in the north. Some beautifully framed pictures; I actually like those that aren't so close up so that I get more of a sense of perspective.

Mantis - Apache War Dance was new to me last fall. It's good to know it multiplies well. A whole clump of that would be like a plant on fire. Have you seen Crazy Ivan grown in any garden up your way?

Ellie - Perseus' Sandals has looked better in past year, but I hadn't photographed it yet this year and this seemed like a good opportunity. I crossed with Grape Twizzler. Hope the pods don't abort. I've got a lot of pods aborting right now even though we've had cooler days and rain this week. Strange!

Debra

Oh My! These are all stunning. So hard to pick just one as a favorite, although the one that stood out the most to me is WILD RED HEART. I also love Worthy Creation, Bohemia after Dark and Butter Pecan. But they're all so beautiful and photographed so nicely. You sure have the most photogenic daylilies! I look forward to your pictures every day.

Celeste

Worthy Creation goes on my look-see list. I also give thumbs up to Corolla Light. Your pictures of your clumps are amazing. The first shot grabs your attention, and then there's another one then another one then another one... Marvelous..Maryl

Mantis - Crazy Ivan does perform well in the North! I saw where Lanny Morry, Zone 4 Ontario, had it listed in her Top 10 for 2008 and mentions it being hardy for her.

Celeste - Thanks! I have a lot of bitone, but Wild Red Heart is my very favorite.

Maryl - I have a lot of nice clumps this year, but most of them have really nasty foliage - thanks to the cicadas. The foliage on the photographed clumps was not as bad. So I will be able to take more clump shots in those beds. Worthy Creation is a marvelous bloom. Unfortunately the plant is one of the slowest multipliers of all time. I got one fan as a bonus four years ago, and I still have only two fans.

Debra

Those first 6 shots with the clump shots and multiples are just all stunningly gorgeous. WORTHY CREATION is the only one of those that I can even begin to eliminate from my list of favorites, but it still looks fabulous with those contrasting balloon flowers.

Trying to be very disciplined with myself and pick a favorite flower without being influenced by the clump shots, I have decided upon BOHEMIA AFTER DARK, but I like so many of these so much I'd be likely to settle on a different one if I look again a little later.

Oops. I forgot I wanted to ask: what is the bi-color in the background of PERSEUS' SANDALS? That one looks very intriguing. Would love to see a more up-close picture of it.
