Beautiful butterfly and lilies! I like Dizzy, I have it here also. Really, really difficult to choose a favorite here as these are all looking so good. I am thinking I especially like Fox Point and Herbgirls Cherry Moonshine as those really stand out to me.

hmmm, I think what caught my eye was ANNABELLE'S BLUSH. Love the pink ruffly edge on it.Beautiful butterfly and lily pics too.

Heavens Proclaim is my favorite. Annabelle's Blush is another very nice one. Those are some great butterfly pictures.
Val

Beautiful butterfly pictures and love your lilies. You have an awful lot of really lovely blooms, but Heavens Proclaim had me from the time I saw it.

Nice daylilies, and beautiful butterfly shots!

Great butterfly pictures! And lots of beautiful daylilies, I especially like Annabelle's Blush, Wedding Gown and Stumbing Stone - pretty edge on this one.
Is Dizzy oriental?

Rita, I've been looking more at branching & bud counts this year, Fox Point has really nice branching I think & good bud counts. Pretty flower, so what more could I want! I think Herbgirls Cherry Moonshine may need another year to really see how many blooms I will get, but every bloom has been pretty. I really love it.
Annabelle's Blush was new in fall of 2010, you may remember I broke off my only scape last year. It looks like it is really going to be a great plant though, lots of buds & they are all opening nicely so far.
Val & Kay, Heavens Proclaim is another beauty, huge flower. It is on a shorter plant, but not too short to show its blooms nicely. One of my favorites!
Thanks everyone for your comments! And the butterfly pictures were easy this time. The butterfly was loving the echinacea by my deck, he stayed on that one plant about 45 minutes. He seemed to be posing for pictures, not bothered by me in the least.
Dizzy is an Oriental lily, a bit shorter than most Orientals. The color on this one seems a bit off this year, it may have caught a bit more of the frost than the other Dizzy lilies I have. This one is farther from the house.

Nancy, you have some lovely ones today. Pleasing to the Eye and Woman at the Well impress me for the same reason. I love the delicate edge on the slightly crinkly ruffles. And the purple cluster makes a perfect companion for Wedding Gown.

Another great bunch of DL's no clear cut winner for me.

Herbgirls Cherry Moonshine is the most unusual coloring. I just love it but can't really describe the color. It is one of my very favorite daylilies. But slow to clump up, at least it is here. Fox Point is another daylily I am just nuts about. An absolutely great all around plant with lovely, lovely flowers. That one does like to clump up nicely!

wow is that a swallowtail? beautiful pics! :)

Wedding Gown (& the purple flower sneaking in) & Dizzy Lilies are awesome. Super pretty!

Great butterfly picture too!

Wedding Gown is a great daylily once it gets started, the first few blooms don't like to open. It would probably like it better farther south, but once it gets going, its beautiful here. The purple is a perennial verbena. I've thought about moving it, it winds around the nearby perennials. So far it doesn't seem to be bothering them though, & I kinda like those winding plants :)
Herbgirls CM is a really unusual color, but a pretty one, kind of a smoky lavender pink. Reminds me a bit of Lavender Cascades, a color I just can't describe.
The butterfly posed for me perfectly, the pictures aren't as crisp & clear as I would wish. Probably due as much to cheap camera as photographer ability. I think it is a swallowtail, not up on my butterflies, the main ones I see here are this one & a black one that I think is a different type of swallowtail? Tried to get a picture of the black butterfly, but it was way to busy.

I like Heaven's Proclaim everytime I see it! And your butterfly photo is wonderful.

I like Pleasing to the Eye-and your winged friend

The Butterflies are Eastern Tiger Swallowtails. I think they are lovely and I have been getting snaps of those and the Great Spangled Fritillary.
I think Wedding Gown does it for me but all of the daylilies are beautiful. I like Pleasing To The Eye especially. Looks like it's going to be a good one. Annabelle's Blush is one I have but it doesn't do well for me just yet. Great bunch of photo's...Ellie

Thanks Debra! I have Heaven's Proclaim planted where I see it when I come out the back door. Not too close, but it is so big it doesn't have to be :)
Pleasing to the Eye just has a very few buds, so I won't be seeing too many blooms unless it reblooms. I hope its bud count improves next year. It is supposed to be pretty decent. It may be getting too much shade so I will probably try to move it this fall.
Thanks for the swallowtail ID Ellie. I looked up the Great spangled Fritillary, I have those too, but haven't seen any this year so far. Last year my butterfly weed was demolished by butterfly caterpillars, there were so very many caterpillars on them. They really go for the ugly milkweed so I keep it for them. Looks especially bad when all the leaves are gone. I thought I would have gajillions of butterflies last year, I had quite a few but not as many as I expected.
