Great shots! I have to agree on Citrix since I grow that one....a picture really doesn't do it justice. Julie Newmar is grown here too, so that one was easy.

Such a lovely group of pictures, I think my favorites are Wyatt Earp & Red Eye Gravy, Marauder is great too.

For you, Kathy, Happy Birthday, a little late! This Hosta is Frances Williams, one of the first I ever bought, and a split of my original, brought here from my other house. I raked up the Cenotaph garden today, took about ten minutes, and a good thing too, as it is absolutely freezing cold, and really windy. The sun is out though, so all is not lost. Gee, Eden, that Bella is a sweetie! I chuckled though, at the egg-hunt photo, because I could tell that you had had many pots on those steps in the past! We got TCS to church on time this morning, shirt and tie, understanding that he has to be quiet and not squirm too much. It was a communion Sunday today. In the past, TCS has always declined, but, feeling very grown up he decided to participate. Who in their right mind would give a seven year old a small plastic cup of grape juice and make them sit there and hold it for 15 minutes? By the time he got to have it, he had split the cup and had to drink out of the side of it. He got his piece of bread and played around with it until it no longer looked like bread. He ate it anyway, and pronounced it delicious. How spiritual. DH and I could hardly keep a straight face through the whole service. Having a lovely quiet day today, counting my blessings and thinking about my gardens. I had lots of stuff I wanted to say to you folks, but I have been interrupted so many times that I forget what I was going to say. So, on that happy note, I am off to cook a wonderful meal of mac and cheese (home made, at least) and hotdogs for the masses. Cheers, Julie

Rita, I like dark eyezones, and you have some terrific ones. I kept writing down names as I viewed them. Then I got toward the end and Born to Reign really got mt. It is such an elegant, sophisticated looking daylily. Love it! Green, great looking seedling. Ann

Julie- I have had Purple Coneflowers around the garden for years. They do seed in the oddest places sometimes but its not a big deal to pull them up move them if its not what I want. I don't dead head as first they attract butterflies with the flowers and then as soon as the Purple Coneflowers set seed, the Goldfinches come and eat on them. The garden here is very much for attracting backyard songbirds, butterflies, hummingbirds and bees. In fact right in back of the daylily plateu in the backyard is another smaller shelf in which I plant sunflowers. Each end of that little tier has a butterfly bush and then sunflowers in the middle going along in a row. I started the sunflowers there last year after I had those garden beds made as I figgured I needed to do something there but it worked out so well that its been picked as the plant sunflowers here spot forever. The goldfinches sure do love to come and eat the sunflowers,even before the seeds are fully ripe. In the picture of GRACE LIKE RAIN that I had above the daisey like things are cosmos and the yellow buds and closed flowers are 4 O'Clocks. They might look funny as the flowers open late in the day and this picture was taken too early for them to be open.

All very lovely, but my favorite of the group is "WYATT EARP on the right and ALWAYS APPIQUE on the left." I wonder what kids would look like if you crossed them.

Thanks for sharing!

I have not had much in the way of clumps or duos in my shots from the past few days so I am just going to add my two latest here (although fourth of July is over I figgure it doesn't matter).

Lovely LYRICAL BALLAD from Melanie Mason

RUSSIAN EASTER just started blooming for me and I just love it. Another very favorite daylily.

Here we are coming up to the last big holiday weekend of the summer. Daylilies are mostly a memory and brown stalks. Made me think of the prior big summer holiday weekend and the bounty of bloom here in my yard.

Rita,

Thanks for bumping! I must have missed all the pics posted around the fourth as I didn't see these either. Posts were coming so quickly then as everyone had blooms that a post could go two pages in less than a day!

These are all wonderful... I really like the clump shots the best, especially seeing what people choose to plant together.

Citrix and Russian Easter are my two favorites of this group. I also really like the plateau grouping.

I though of you when I was making my Maryotts order today... We have talked about climate differences on flowers... did you see the pictures of Pixie Paint Brush on their site? Doesn't even look close to the same flower! It was interesting for me to see a breeder that had fields in two different climates that was willing to post pics with such a radical difference.

Looking forward to more wonderful pics when your rebloom really gets going!

Whew... that was a feast for the eyes! Citrix is really something. Not that the others are slouches by an means, but is really seems to stand out! What lovely clump shots.

This fall I am putting all of my Navy Blues together. Have three small clumps. Same with Strawberry Candy, and Going Bananas. Make a great impact (plus make room for more!!).

Julie, I didn't notice DIXIE PAINT BRUSH on Maryotts.

JEAN, it should bloom unless those darn deer of yours keep coming to your garden :-((

Michelle, good idea putting them together. Last year I ordered lots of the 3-fers from Maryotts, which is why I have many that already are clump size even though just planted last year.
