I still don't have much blooming. But here are a few from the past few days.

GINNY MITCHELL got rounder with more of an edge.

HELIX - Now don't you laugh at my handicapped Helix. I'd been waiting for this ffo for three seasons and the bugs got one of his sepals. But just look at how the other two are curling!

Oh goodie, goodie.... it is starting for you!!! I have a love/hate relationship with your posts! I love looking, but then my list grows....LOOOOONNNNGGGEERRR!

Helix is SO cool. I am not much a spider girl, but those curls just do it for me! No laughing here...

I've gotta get me that Ginny Mitchell... plant it right next to her sis Mildred!

Won't catch me laughing either, I'll feel extremely lucky if Helix blooms for me this year as it went in on 4/5/08. And yep, love dem curls!!!

Thanks for sharing!

Nancy - Thanks for posting your photo of Buzz Saw. Since this was my first bloom on the plant, I was expecting some giant teeth every time. I guess it's just the combination of extreme heat and humidity that grew those choppers extra big. Yesterday I used every grain of pollen that baby had on my other toothy guys. It's too bad it was so hot that pod set is unlikely. Debra

Vickie - Glad I could provide a gateway to the Land of Daylily Dreamin' for you. LOL Kay - Keep telling yourself that. Personally, I think everyone should grow Julie Newmar. Kathy - The camera I use is a Nikon D70 with a Sigma lens. Nancy - I saw your Applique on your thread and it's lovely. Hopefully no deer will scale a 10-foot fence for it. Debra

So yours is a very light pink too. Here's mine from before the triple digit heat wave sucked all the pigment out of it. My anthers look a little darker than yours, but mine was photographed in shade, and the Rice's probably was too. That might account for the difference. Debra

Rita - Edge of Your Seat is the one by Yost that I thought you should grow. I'll post more photos of it as it reblooms. Sharon - I sure hope those kittens can be tamed too. They see that their mother isn't afraid of me, so I think they'll come around soon. Two of them will tolerate being petted while they are eating. Nancy - So sorry to hear you lost I Remember You during that bad winter. Mine has not multiplied very fast, but maybe we can do a trade for something in the spring. Linda, Chris, Val - Thanks for your comments! Debra

Thanks for liking the curls on Helix. I saw so many other garden photos of it without the curling sepals, I was afraid it wouldn't curl here. Guess we have just enough heat and humidity to do the trick. I'm looking forward to another Helix bloom tomorrow.

I look forward to your pictures every year. It gives me hope that some day I can have lots of beautiful daylilies. I assume if they grow well for you in Nashville that they should bloom well for me in Franklin. I don't think I have ever see one curl like Helix. Please post a pic tomorrow so we can see a "normal" bloom. Walking is Beauty is certainly a beauty.

Debra, I loved EVERYONE of those and the only one I have is Helix. ( thank you Chris ). I think the curls are lovely and hopefully, mine will curl too! My blooms are starting a little. I do believe you have more blooms than I though... Ellie

Thanks so much for all the nice comments!

Ann - Today's Helix bloom was not fit for public consumption. The thrip damage was horrific, and once again Helix was missing a sepal. The other two sepals were curling a bit, but they were not as tightly wound as on the first bloom.

May you always walk in beauty and ignore the weeds:)
