Your gardens look so pretty and weed free. I rarely take clump shots because of so much grass and weeds invading my beds. My favorites are these are the pink one and Rocket Booster.

Of course I want to look. Well only 3 blooms on Clown Parade but they all are smashingly wonderful. Love that Clown Parade. African Plum is another beauty. Really like it.

It doesn't look like a Gaura to me (except the woody lower stem). The Gauras I'm familiar with all have 4 petals which are held upward, while there are many stamens hanging downward. This looks like a totally different shape of flower: we're seeing multiple flowers rather than petals on a single flower. Gaura flowers aren't spaced so closely on the stem.

maryl, I have plenty of space, but I have more than I want to take care of now. So, I'm looking at every DL with a more critical eye. And yes, LMM is a blooming machine! Debra, Most DL's take a couple of years to settle in after I plant them. The blooms are skimpy and the scapes are short at first. But LMM took off running. You did gooooood - thank you! Arif, Most of us have to wait 4 or 5 years for a daylily to become a mature clump. But at the rate you are going, you may only have to wait 4 or 5 more weeks. ;-) Tell us your secrets! Nate, Good question. I don't know the answer. I've seen the Stamile butterfly collection - stunning. Julia, I'm going to post another photo of BLUE-EYED BUTTERFLY because I feel guilty for the bad marks I gave it for perfomance. This is why I let it stay - I have three more clump pics from today. This one doesn't have a fancy bloom, but it is the perfect size to me (about 30 x 6), foliage is always nice, and it is very vigorous. It's a Curt Hanson daylily that I don't see often. FOLLOW YOUR HEART - DUBLIN ELAINE was showing off today - This one never doubles for me until it reblooms. Fortunately, it makes a pretty single bloom. DARK WONDER - Kathy

Thank y'all for your kind comments. I'm relatively new to daylilies so I had limited ones to cross. I know I used Autumn Wood for several and think Little Grapette is the source of the purple/lavender in some. This could really get to be addictive!

Jean...these were taken yesterday before the rain started. I've not been able to get any new photos today. Hopefully, tomorrow will be a better photo taking day. :) waitforspring....BWW is a beautiful Munson, and really does hold up well in the elements. Kathy and Kay...SB is a real beauty and the only complaint I have with her is she blooms on short scapes. I really wish the scapes were a bit taller. I do love those blooms, however. Michelle...Hey, I don't really care what other folks think, I'm just happy growing my plants. :) Ellie is the reason I grow WN...she posted a photo on here a couple of years ago and I had never seen it at that time either, but it was one of those that reached out and grabbed me, so now, it lives in my garden!

Kay: Love all the clumps shots. Where did you get CLOWN PARADE from and how long have you had it? It just seems to be busting with buds and blooms.

Can't pick a favorite in this group. They are all beautiful. I wish my garden looked as neat as that. I don't see a weed anywhere. I would love to know the name of the pink daylily. Very pretty.

Thank you all for looking.

Debra,
Thank you very much for the kind comments on the garden. When I fix the bed, I dig out all grass and weeds, then spread Preen pre-emergent on the bed. then I mulch and each year, I put out mulch. I pull little weeds when they sprout, but it usually only happens after a rain, and there aren't many, so you are really complimenting preparation, there isn't a lot of maintenance required.

Rita, My impression is that African Plum is a Munson, but I'm not sure. It is a real bloomer, but I didn't get re-bloom last year.

Michelle, the pink one is Icy...don't know why I didn't see the label this morning. That is the prettiest it has ever been.

Julia, I got Clown Parade last year, and it bloomed and bloomed for weeks. It is a fabulous bloomer, but I didn't get rebloom on it last year. I couldn't fuss, because I had as many as 12 blooms on it at once and it bloomed a long time. I got it from Bob Selman at Blueridge Gardens.
