Here they are, some plants we have had awhile and some new ones:

Welcome Mat--this one started blooming June 12th, but I was only able to get a decent picture this weekend.

Reforma Boulevard--new to us this year, and I really like the colors of this one--love the green throat, for sure.

Hudson Valley--a plain yellow, but very large and fragrant.

J. Davisson's Part Time Princess--sent to us as a bonus plant, and this is a very large pink flower.

Grey Witch--brand new bonus plant, and I think this is one you either love or hate. My husband and I are undecided at this point.

"Mom's Seedling" the Carpenter I bought and named for my mother

Red small flowered NOID: this is the only red that we consider sunfast here. It will fade at the end of a very hot day, but usually doesn't turn to mush.

Susan Weber FFO today . I think it looks like a bigger version of Julianna Lynn except Susan's petals are rounder.

Palace Garden Beauty FFO today and it is a beauty for sure.

Royal Occasion--a pretty small flowered plant and very good long bloomer.

Princeton Silky-one we have had several years, and I love it. It is a wonderful blooming plant.

Spanish Fandango FFo today--this one reminds me of Beautiful Edgings as a star!!

Big Sur--a bonus plant and a child of Chance Encounter. The color of the picture of this one on the AHS database looks entirely different from ours.

I am closing with a garden shot--this is Garden No. 3, the south end.

The garden is in beautiful bloom! Love garden shots. I think your bed has as many yellow tones as mine does red tones. Love it!

Susan Weber is just as lovely as it can be. I'm really fond of Part time Princess, and Spanish Fandango is lovely. Lots of beauties today.

Love Susan Weber and Spanish Fandango. SF reminded me of a narrower petaled Beautiful Edgings too!

Cool Hand Luke looks very cool indeed (sorry, I couldn't resist). Slipped My Disco has one of those names that would be terribly hard to pass by and now I see the blooms are also very eye-catching. Because I am in a very bright kind of mood, Apache War Dance looks like a most appropriate flower..very bright! Thanks for a fun little stroll through some of your beauties.

They all look so great, I love your Terry Lyninger. I've been wanting to get it for a couple of years & just haven't, this may be the year. Shelby's Song is gorgeous & may be my very favorite. I think my neighbors must have put out beetle traps. Early in the year it looked like I was going to be overrun by them again, then they just went away. I do see occasional ones, but I can squish them. Guess it is a good thing Rita didn't take me up on the offer of free Japanese beetles, I wouldn't have been able to send them :)

Rita - I'm happy to be getting so many new scapes this time of year. I'm going to be having a few more ffo's soon. Wonder of Wonders, Delightful Design, Purple Corn Dancer, Annabelle's Blush, Indigo Bunting and Rock Candy will bloom for the first time here. When I came back from my trip, I noticed Freedom's Triumph had put up a rebloom scape. It's supposed to rain everyday this week, so more rebloom scapes should be coming along any day. Debra

You have a lot blooming, Kate! So many lovely ones, but my favorite I think is still Diamind shores, so glad to see it blooming in your garden and know it is a good one. I won't see mine for a couple of weeks, sigh...

Lovely garden! My SUSAN WEBER never has come close to the way yours looks. It's gorgeous. BIG SUR is such a beautiful glowing color - I can never get a photo of it that does it justice. REFORMA BOULEVARD has a beautiful combination of colors.

I like the way your daylilies are spaced to give them lots of room. The last photo of the garden is really lovely. My favorites on this thread were Part Time Princess, Spanish Fandango, and Palace Garden Beauty.

Great shot of the garden. Very colorful. You know I like it because of all the yellows showing.....I'm not too sure about Gray Witch either. The color is so close to being muddy. It will be interesting to see how it develops........ Maryl

Spanish Fandango is lovely & Palace Garden Beauty is always a favorite of mine. Reforma Boulevard is a really pretty color, one I don't think I've seen before. I have Hudson Valley, not big on yellows but this one is so huge & impressive that I can't help but love it.

Thanks, everyone, for your nice comments. I need to make a correction--the garden shot is of the NORTH end--not south end. Right now the south end is a kind of work in progress. We are putting in new DLS down there, mostly hot colored one like Alabama Jubilee, Oranges For Christmas, and Screamcicle. AJ bloomed today, so look at my latest post to see the picture. Oranges For Christmas has one scape and I just found another one today, exciting!! Screamcicle is a small plant, may not be able to bloom this year, but I'm hoping it can do one scape because of our longer growing season. I want to answer Jean about yellow being a favorite color--I really don't have a favorite color, that would be impossible for me. There are just too many lovely daylilies of all colors for me to settle on just one. It just happens we put a lot of inexpensive yellows on that end because we wanted the bright color and the fragrance. Avedon
