Blooms are definitely winding down here, but still have some to go and of course reblooms! Hope you enjoy the pics and of course feedback is always welcome. If there is repeats, please forgive!

As for these pics, I truly wish I had the "touch" with the camera that Rick, Jan, Ellie and everyone has to truly capture the beauty of the clumps that greeted me this morning from my deck.

I think your photos are just great...those clump shots are spectacular....I love IR...it's always such a cheery dl. I'll be glad when mine clumps up like yours.
I think that's about as pretty a bloom on Startle that I've ever seen. Mine is still just 2 fans, and I didn't get much bloom on it this year...hopefully it'll get better.
Thanks for the show.

All of your daylilies are lovely. Your clump photos, as well as the rest, are just fine. That is the nicest photo I have seen of Startle in a long time. I purchased two pots of it going by the photo on the tag attached, and when it bloomed it was one of the splotchy, ugliest DLs I ever saw. Someone on the Daylily Forum told me it was probably a clone. I haven't tried it again but your photo temps me to try.
Thanks for sharing. Jane

Here's a few more. Village Maid Graham ThomasBurgundian RoseRotkäppchenMaiden's BlushSweet FairyAnother bloom of Barrone Prevost The first bloom of Grus an Aachen and all of the Alba Maxima blooms so far have been too messed up by the rain. The first bloom of the Impressionist is about to open though, so hope to have more by tomorrow--the sun is actually supposed to shine for a change, so that should help.

You got the look of Tall Dark Stranger perfectly. Mine was new last fall, also thanks to Laura, and has been blooming for quite a while now. It settled right in and went to work. I got a single fan of Little showman last fall. It made it through the winter, but sadly, the late freezes got it. I can admire yours though, it is a pretty one. I like Soft Hearted Mother too.

You did a great job. The clump shots especially are divine. I just love Indian Ripple, it is just my kind of daylily (bold and bright). Great idea to take that clump both in the morning and evening.

Nice, I thought maybe Startle was going to be my favorite here til I scrolled down to Indian Ripple. That is just stunning!

Very nice pics! A lot of blooms that I haven't seen and I like them all. Regency Heights is my favorite of the group. I really like your pic of Startle, but I am jaded as mine has never opened right. Maybe this year...

I love the clump shots as well. It is so easy to get caught up in a perfect flower that sometimes we tend to ignore the stunning beauty of a full clump!

Glad you shared them with us.

Love your Regency Heights with that bright yellow-green throat!
My Startle never looked as beautiful as yours! It never gets as much frilly edges as yours, or any internet pics. You sure are doing something right with it!
Almost Indecent and Vanilla Fluff are very nice doubles.
I have Indian Ripple on my wish list already.
I'm glad you showed us your beautiful clumps, and don't ever think they're not as good as someone else's. You captured them beautifully!

Thanks for sharing you wonderful variety of beauties!
