And some Bill's...LOL

Rick

Beauties all Rick, the colors are so vibrant with the new camera....but then I thought the ones taken with your old camera were too....LOL Either you just know how to make terrific photos, or your dl's are exceptionally pretty....could be both I guess!!! ;o)
Jan

You have some gorgeous blooms there. If I saw those on my way to the mailbox, I would forget all about the mail. LOL!

I particularly like the softer pinks in the first group and then Forbidden Fantasy and Indian Giver just sat me back in my chair. They are big on the WOW factor!

Thanks for sharing!

Alexa

maryanne

Thanks...I'm glad you guy's are enjoying them....Just Purdy Daylilies Jan...LOL
Thanks Alexa...it's actually enjoyable to take the walk to the Mailbox...:)

And a few more.......

Rick

So beautiful! Thank you for taking the time to post them.

Betsy

Patchy Fog is now at the very TOP of my must get list. WOW! It is awesome!

Alexa

OK Rick, you have all the mail you need. Just be honest now and tell us where you are really goin. Chance Encounter is one I have a problem with. her color is good as is her form but she doesn't open well for me. Breed Apart is one I have marked for the woods. It would be hard to choose a favorite as you have so many lovlies so I'll just say...THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL!!!!! Ellie

Rick

My oh my, I think I need to get 'Patchy Fog.' (AND 'Creative Art,' AND 'Dark Forces,' AND, AND, AND. . . .)

Rick, are you sure you don't have more than one mailbox to walk to?

Laurel

It's the same walkway Laurel...LOL I just pop out the front door...down 4 steps...On the left and right are the upper level flower beds. Then a step down and a curve.....this starts another 85-90 feet of daylily beds on each side of the walkway....these beds range in depth of 4- 12 feet depending on where you are, along the winding walk.....These beds have around 250-300 daylilies. The main larger beds are along the road (set back about 10 feet) They are now about 14 feet wide and the "L" shape runs about 200 feet long. There are about 500 different daylilies in that bed area. Then there are about another 250-300 scattered in beds and holding areas throughout the property..oh and a new bed along the west property line that has about 50-60 in it (Newbies). I guess that is about it. The walk to the mailbox has the Daylilies I have been posting pic's of. I again this year will expand the width of this bed. The increase of about 18 inches should allow me to put another 85 or so along the mailbox walk. I will be taking out about 20 that are now too close to a Kwanzan Cherry tree that is along the walkway. These will be placed out to get more sun. The canopy of shade produced by the Kwanzan will be perfect for some Hosta's. I think I will go for some varigated foliage types under there. There are hundreds blooming this morning but a nice drizzle will delay any pic's. Tomorrow is my Daughter's wedding so no daylily pic's then...LOL ....Hmmmm maybe I can get some pic's in before the rehersal tonight...LOL we will see. I'm glad you guy's are enjoying the daily walks...:)
A water spotted offering....:)
Here is Edith...

Thanks, Rick

Thanks for all your beautiful photos Rick! And congratulations on your daughter's wedding! Your description of your daylily beds on your walk to the mailbox sounds gorgeous. Later, when you have some time, do you have a photo of them?

Thanks again,

Juliet

Yes, please, please post a long shot view of some of your daylily beds. We want to see!

Maybe I can get some ideas for new beds and I love to see garden overviews.

Good morning, Rick! I hope your daughter's wedding goes beautifully. Congratulations!

Laurel

I've been lurking here and enjoying all your posted pictures. I've only seen my early season ones so far.

May I ask what you use for a camera? Also, what software do you use to add the script?

Your daylilies as well as your pictures are awesome!

M-A

Morning Rick, I know you won't see this till later since your daughter's wedding is at 11 am this morning, but just wanted to wish you all the best, especially your sweet baby girl.... ;o) I hope her day is the most beautiful and special day ever for her.....
Oh yes, now that the "big event" is over....how about another walk down that mailbox pathway? LOL
Jan

I hope the wedding was perfect! Thanks for sharing all the pics. They are a joy.
Kathy

Wow, I thought I was doing good putting in a new daylily bed that is 6 by 26 feet and I call it really large. Then I read all the beds Rick has and my new daylily bed doesn't lok so big anymore.

I would love to see your yard Rick, and I know I can't be the only one. Please post some pictures showing the long view and garden shots so we can all drool over your gorgeous daylily gardens.

Good Evening Guy's!
Jan...the wedding went perfectly...The Bride was Gorgeous...even if she is my daughter...LOL LOL It was so nice to see family and friends and share in such an awesome occasion. Everything went off without a hitch...Thank you all for your well wishes for my Daughter's Big Day!
Jan..I'll try to start another Mailbox walk thread in the morning...:)

Thank you Juliet......I'll try again to post a few of the overall type garden bed pic's..they never seem to come out very well...to me...kinda like long blurs of unfocused colour..but I'll give a few beds a try and we can see what it looks like...:)

Laurel...thank you so much for my Daughter's best wishes!

NY Rita....my place is nothing special....just because a few beds are large...well that dosen't make them special..:) But thanks for thinking they might...LOL I'll try to post a few pic's of some of the daylily beds...most of them are too long to get decent pic's..I have found...maybe I can take some in shorter sections and post one on top of the other or figure a way to post some side by side....we will see...:) I'll try a few of the long shots first..but like before, I doubt they turn out very well....will try though...:)

Thank You Kathy...the ceremony was wonderful...even the food was decent....:) The Daylily floating bowl centerpieces were kinda neat too.....I figured they would get lost with all the "Florist Flowers"....but many folks commented that they thought they were "Special".....that was kinda neat...:)

Thank you all again for my Daughter's Big Day Happiness...:)

Rick..."Home Alone".....wahhhhh hehehe

I'm sorry MA....I didn't mean to skip over your post...I guess I'm still a little tired...to answer your question....:)
I use a Kodak DX-7590 with a 10X Optical zoom and I use a Nikon D-80 with an 18-135 lense..it is a 10.2 Megapixel and the Kodak is a 5 MP. I use both the kodak EasyShare software and the Nikons software to post and script the pic's. I find on the Computer monitors the Nikons pic's seem to be just a touch clearer then the Kodak's...but the real difference shows up in prints...the larger ..the better the Nikon becomes.IMHO..:) I'm glad you have enjoyed the pic's and appreciate you saying so....please don't lurk...join in and have some fun...these folks are almost all awesome people...an occasional dull spade in the tool shed..but 99%...are so helpful and nice and knowledgeable....most importantly willing to share their knowledge and friendship.....Join in and were glad your on board...:)

Rick

I'm glad to hear everything went well with the wedding. There were so many beauties on this thread, it's hard to pick some favorites. I love all the purples, all the eyes, all the edges, and well all of them.

Debra

Rick, Glad the wedding was such a success! Did you happen to take a pic of the Daylily floating bowl centerpieces? I would love to see one.
Kathy

All I can say is ... WOW! Thank you for sharing your beauties with us!! Glad your daughter's wedding went well. I would also love to see pictures of the centerpieces.

Thank you again guy's...:) I'll go through the wedding pic's I took...later today and see if I happen to have caught any of the glass bowls with the floating blooms....If I didn't... i'm sure someone did...flashes were going off...everywhere....:) I'll post as soon as I get a chance...thanks for your interest! I'm sure they were dwarfed by the florists flowers..but I had a gal place them on all the tables anyway...thats what my little girl...wanted...and she gets what she wants...LOL..:) Thanks again for your well wishes for her and your interest.

Rick
PS...I'm gona start a new Mailbox thread now and a few Daylily bed shots for those that wanted to see some..I hope they turn out ok...hard to get those long kind of shots and really see anything but a colour blur....LOL
