They are all lovely. I laughed out loud when I read the name Big Honking Heartthrob. What a hoot! I think my favorite is Inca Prince. It has such deep, rich color in your garden.

Yes, weatherguys were predicting lots of storm showers for this afternoon for us also. Hope it cools things done some. Just too hot around here lately.

All your daylilies look great, especially INCA PRINCE.

Bayer 3 in 1 Before or After Several Days of Rain?

Diane, you are right I did mix the names. I have All-in-One, which I called 3-in-One probably because I was looking at the jug of 2-in-One and asked if they didn't have the one with the fungicide and was directed to another blue jug. Just to make things more confusing, I Googled it and Bayer lables the one bottle "Advanced" and then further down "3-in-1" I'm sure I got All-in-One, but the jug is in the car. I'm going to have to read it again to be sure exactly what it is as Bayer's labels are confusing. They also have on their site: "All-In-One Rose & Flower Care Thank you so much for the input. I do have black spot problems and hope this works. I've never tried it before.

New bed, compost before/after rain???
Q

Tilling soil is not necessary to prepare a planting bed and some research indicates that tilling can be more harmful than not because tilling disrupts the soil fungi and also brings up more "weed" seeds. I would lay down some light impervious material, such as newspaper or cardboard, which will kill off any plant growth in that area now and cover that with the compost and allow the soil bacteria to move the compost into the soil for me.

OK, so here are some shots of my baby 'Jaune Desprez' climbing into the old Japanese maple. The tip of the lateral on the left forked-trunk just hits six-feet tall. There are more laterals lower down which are showing lots of growth, so that one won't be alone for long. In this shot, you can see 'Jaune Desprez' climbing the Japanese maple trunk, and the three roses I planted to go against my front porch. I removed the white azalea that was in the corner by the front steps and moved it to in front of the neighbor's house behind their mailbox. On the left is 'Souvenir du Dr. Jamain' which will be the big climber for the porch railing, and will continue to be trained to grow against it. In the middle is the once-blooming Hybrid China 'Duchesse de Angouleme' which will not get quite as big but will serve as a "living trellis" for a clematis I'll plant there next year. And on the right is the China 'Archduke Charles', which is thornless, and has flowers that open pink and age to cherry-red. This is 'Nouveau Monde' showing its one big fat cane (which sprouted new after the band was potted and grew-on a bit -- the thin stems lower down was what it had when it arrived) which I trained along the deck railing, and it's sprouting lots more along its vertical length. 'Orfeo' is being trained against the Callery pear tree. Its two long main-canes are "hugging" the trunk diagonally, and training them so prompted lots of laterals to sprout. These were previously growing straight-out horizontally, but I tied them against the trunk with string (for now -- as they grow, I'll cut the string back and use something less obviously-visible). All roses mentioned in pics in this post came as bands this Spring -- none were from last year, and none came as 1-gallons. Lesson -- don't be afraid of bands! :-) ~Christopher This post was edited by AquaEyes on Sat, Oct 5, 13 at 15:02

The clump of Apricot Jade is eyecatching, and I see Mexican Magic peeking through the blooms. It looks good with Apricot Jade! My other favorite photos are the clumps of Rose Masterpiece and Bill Norris. Both of those are classics that never go out of style. I look forward to my Bill Norris clump reblooming soon. Mephistopholes looks like a fine, rich purple. I find myself wanting to add it to that hospital bed you tend. It would look spectacular with those gold daylilies and the black-eyed Susans. And yes, I admit I have bought duplicate plants by mistake. Imperial Empress is so pretty I can see why you would buy it more than once. Debra

I love all the bright colors going in your garden now. I wish Worth it All would just give me one bloom worth photographing. I guess it's a bug magnet here, so it's on its way out after the summer.

Debra: Lori Jones has some great names for her daylilies and BIG HONKING HEARTTHROB fits this big red perfectly. :-).

Rita:You should cool down too with this cold front that is suppose to be passing through this afternoon. We need a bit of relief from all this humid weather even if for just a couple of days.

Marg: WORTH IT ALL is lovely but can be a problem with blooms. I get some good and bad blooms from it but I love the color of it so I keep it.

Chris: Sorry to hear that WIA is not doing good for you at all.
I did not spray at all this year. No time to do it and now we are in the full swing of blooms season. Interesting that some daylilies have no issues at all and others just can't seem to do without the bug spray.

Pretty blooms today. I love the brightness of Inca Prince, Mauna Loa and Flaming Wildfire. Worth It All is also my favorite, very pretty color.

Beautiful as always, Julia. Hmmm. I just realized I haven't seen Mauna Loa this year. May have lost it. Worth It All is very pretty as is the aforementioned Mauna Loa. What is the bloom with Sarah Hawes? SC Sea Shells is a beauty, and I would, of course, like Flaming Wild fire. My favorite though is Inca Prince. It is always a beauty.

Kay: CHICO RICO is blooming behind SARAH HAWES. I'm surprised all of the new ones I got have scapes :-)

I've seen some fantastic blooms on Worth It All, but the scapes were almost on the ground. Ed Brown seems to grow very well for you. Inca Prince is always striking; I must pick that one up. Flaming Wildfire looks filled with buds. In fact, on all the pics I see loads of buds.

mantis: ED BROWN does really well here although I do hear from others that they have a hard time with it. It has been here probably 4 years at minimum and has 8 fans. It always is a good performer here. WORTH IT ALL, you have to love it or get rid of it.

This years rain has done a great job of pumping up the budcount. Now I wonder if we will have reblooms too.

Julia, you do have some beauties today, so pretty,
SOMETHING MARVELOUS is beautiful. I love that one. and I use to go to Maryotts website to look at the daylilies and loved this SPACECOAST SEA SHELLS and wanted it so bad, but, never able to get it. but there is hundreds just as pretty,I realized later. OPEN DOOR is a beauty, too. I have scrolled up and down looking and looking and I think that
WORTH IT ALL is my favorite, so pretty.

Very nice blooms. I especially like the color combination of Inca Princess. It is a beauty. I also like Spacecoast Seashells. I am waiting for mine to bloom for the first time.

Ed Brown has been really slow to increase here, I think I'm up to 3 fans after probably 6 years. I did get it in trade as a small single fan. The blooms are so nice though. Your photos all look so nice, but I think my favorite is Inca Prince.

Thanks again. INCA PRINCE is one I think most folks would thoroughly enjoy having. When it blooms, you know it.

Be warned about Spacecoast Seashells. It does have a tendency to not open all the way and then other times, it is fine. I've kept a very small clump here after I sold off my very large clump. I've put the smaller clump in a south facing temporary bed.

I hear you Nancy about Ed Brown. So many have said it and others like me, have no problem with it.
