The Mask of Time clump is impressive with five nice blooms, and Bass Gibson has enough teeth to gnaw through a deer in no time, but my favorites are Crimson Edges and Wild Apple Autumn. Mississippi Memento is very nice too!

Carnival In Brazil shows it will hold up in the rain. I have that one too and l love it. Mississippi Momento is so pretty with that big watermark.Bass Gibson is showing its teeth like a shark ;-). Crimson Edges is very striking with just the edges showing the purple /reddish color.
All pretty Kay.

Punk: The candles are actually a cheat. I took a plain blue gift bag, chopped it up and covered ordinary white candles in it. I've done that several times for colors that just aren't available. Of course this wouldn't work if one actually wanted to light them I don't think. Can we say "fire" , eek. ((Luvs)) , it's good to "see" you.Thank you! Yes, I generally do all of my own florals :). Very rarely do I find something I can leave alone. lol

I purposely do a scrappy every few quilts to use them up. I got serious last winter about throwing really small ones, or too narrow strips. It got ridiculous. They go into a big bag and when I feel like being in the sewing room but not working on a project, lately I've been cutting them into a standard size block to save them. It's how a couple quilts got most of its material. Here is one reason I save them..............several times I have messed up on a block or ran myself short a block or two by miscounting. My scrap bin saved the day, where I'd tucked a few salvageable pieces of that material and I'd find a match.

There are so often recipes that call for a tablespoon or two of tomato paste, that I keep a tube in the fridge. The stuff in the tube is "double concentrated" so it gives a lot of flavor. I've not used any recipes that call for half a clove of garlic. Garlic cloves in any case vary in size so much with the largest ones being more than twice as big as the smallest ones so it seems strange to try to be very exact in calling for a number of cloves. Perhaps the recipe called for a quantity like a tsp of minced garlic and a clove made more than that? In that case, unless it is something where I want the garlic flavor to be very background, I would just put the whole clove in. For vegetables, I generally round up or down to what I have - it usually isn't that exact a thing. With COVID limiting our shopping, I've becoming even more comfortable with adjusting recipes to what I have. I do wonder what it means when a recipe calls for a shallot. When I buy shallots, they usually come in a bulb that has two sections/cloves. Is 1 shallot the whole bulb or just one of the sections? There are some pretty absurdly specific recipes out there. I recall one recently that wanted a cup of San Marzano tomatoes crushed up. The cans they come in at my usual grocery store are 28 oz. It was a bit player in the recipe (a bean dish with lots of spices) so no way would the tomato variety be detectable in the result. I just used a can of diced tomatoes (and I may have thrown in the whole 14.5 ounces). It's just calling for San Marzano because that's "in" now. Or all the recipes that call for EVOO in something that is going to be cooked a lot and have other strong flavors that hide any difference between that and regular olive oil. I think if something called for one half of a chicken breast, I'd either make a double recipe of I'd cook up the other side to use for sandwiches or a small meal.

27 is still a good number of rebloom. And I bet you will be getting more. I don't know what to pick for favorite as they are all so pretty. Maybe pick Mississippi Momento.

Another great group. Crimson Edges and Mississippi Momento are going to have to go on my list.

Thank you for looking and commenting. Crimson Edges has had some beautiful blooms, Debra, and Wild Apple Autumn is putting out some pretties after I got the Sluggo put out and killed the slugs. It was the third type of slug bait I had used and the only one that worked at all!

Carnival in Brazil is a pretty one with good substance, Julia, I agree. And I am really enjoying Bass Gibson this second year.

You were right, Rita. It is up to 35 re-blooms now. Every time I look, I find new ones it seems. Philistine Champion is putting up re-blooms this year, and it is doing it like a good many of them with 4 or more scapes!

Rita and Chris, I got Crimson Edges from Debra, and Mississippi Momento is probably my favorite bonus plant of all time. the blooms are so pretty! And it is in a horrible place. I have got to move it this fall.

What a fabulous selection today! I especially like Mean As a Snake, Bass Gibson, Carnival In Brazil and my very favorite is Crimson Edges, love that ENE look.
How many rebloomed last year?

It's hard to pick a favorite among so many fine daylilies. I'm torn between Crimson Edges and Mississippi Momento.

And of course, Bird Talk is truly exquisite. Mine has not bloomed this year after moving it. (sigh)

I think they all look great. I think Bass Gibson has enough teeth to sink a ship. More teeth than I anyway..Ellie

I've got to go with Mean as a Snake as my favorite again. I almost always perfer the round ruffly ones, but the color of this in your pictures is just an attention grabber. Placed next to Crimson Edge and they compliment each other. The others are nice too, but that pairing is really attractive to me......Maryl

There is absolutely no way to pick a favorite. Your pictures are always so beautiful, I just enjoy all of them. Glad there is rebloom starting, we want to keep the DLS with us as long as possible. Avedon

thanks, Nat4b. I knew it was a lot, but didn't remember how many, so I looked up the list of them that I kept. I had 103 daylilies that re-bloomed last year, some of them had as many as 4 sets of scapes. I have only 35 so far this year, but I knew last year would probably be a record. That was about a third of them that re-bloomed last year.

They often pout when they are moved, Nancy, don't they?

Darobi and Maryl, that is the deepest purple I have here. so often purples are actually maroons or reds. Indian Giver is the closest I have to MAAS.

Thanks, Ellie. He is toothy.

It is a pretty one, Ikayd.

Thanks, Lida, and Avedon. Well, when bloom is over, I do get to sleep longer, Avedon. Since I post so many, it can be hard to pick one. The thing is, it's hard when so many are showing off.
