I'll never catch up, but here are some more

Pretty much peak here now and I've given up on catching up. I can't even come close to finishing deadheading or liveheading, but here are some more from the last few days.

English Lavender is a beautiful daylily and has a good bud count, but it has been a slow increaser and I worried that I'd lost it after its first winter. It is a club plant so I'll be turning it in for auction at our club in August. I got in 2009 and it's now only 5 fans. It may well do better somewhere hotter, but I don't know. Enchanting Esmeralda is a fabulous plant. In addition to being gorgeous it has increased well and has a high bud count. Mildred Mitchell can have some amazing flowers,but it too has been a slow increaser--adds about 1 fan a year and a bud count of 9. Mantis--Elisa Dallas is short . It also has only increased by one fan in 2 years and has a bud count of 8. I'm really disappointed in it. Trimmer daylilies usually do much better than that for me Jean--I'm a big fan of Light Motif. Love the look and the performance has been good too.

Love Do the Twist, lovely clump of Flutterby. Brave World looks really good too. Isn't it funny how different plants grow just a short distance away. I have never had Brave World be short, I always have planted it with Arkansas Post because I like the way they look together. Brave World is not that far from the same height, maybe 4" shorter.

You have such amazing seedlings, I especially like the 1st one, but all are so nice. Explosion is really different. I was at a site recently, can't remember what site, but they had 3 or 4 variegated blooms, very neat.

David - I would love to trade with you. Will probably need to wait till the spring now, as Sweet Tart, purchased last fall from the (now admittedly lamentable) Gilbert & Wild, didn't start growing until fairly late. It's looking good now, but is still small. In the spring, hopefully, it will increase. It's a beautiful bloom, and purchased, believe it or not, because of your various plugs on here for the Bennett dls. Alex

Springfield Clan really jumps out, and I'm a fan of Blue-eyed Butterfly. Joan Derifield is lovely, and so are all the rest. Your lilies are beautiful. Avedon

Everything is looking beautiful in your garden, and I love every one of your daylilies. Springfield Clan sure is an attention-getter.

I love each of your daylilies, so it's impossible to pick a favorite. The white lilies really appeal to me too. And the photo of the pink lilies is unbelievable. Lilies never multiply well here for me. In fact only the earliest ones bloomed here. All the buds dried up on my orientals.

Thanks everyone. I'm far enough behind on posting that the asiatic lilies are just about done and the orientals are starting.

SPRINGFIELD CLAN is a big impressive flower and a beautiful clear red color. It took a while to get going here, but has been worth the wait.

JOAN DERIFIELD has been very impressive. Great bud count and good increase and I love the flower.

So very pretty all of them.
We are at peak bloom too and I just finished deadheading and liveheading after not doing it for several days. I treated myself to a big bowl of ice cream :-).
