Wow, I'll take almost all of 'em! Love the whites and polychromes and Hot Tamales and Red Hots. Indy Snowfall and Desert Shore are perfection in my eye.

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.

Thanks all! Yes SISTER LUCIENNE is a Shooter intro, and I really like it. We have had record temps (tripple digits in the Seattle area is almost unheard of, and we have had them for two weeks!) and this DL has held it's beautiful color dawn to dusk. Granted, it is in part shade, but I have learned for the first time this year to appreciated something that is still vibrant when I get home from work! Debra, if your's is redder, I would be thinking that it may not be the right plant, as mine has been one of the more consistant in color of any in my garden. As for PAW PRINT, I only added it last fall, but from what I have seen so far, if you are thinking about it, GET IT! It's first blooms started before our outrageous temps, but it has still been lovely at the end of the day when it has been very hot, and it is totally packed with blooms. I was terribly afraid that I would not get the watermark in my "cool...ha ha ha" world, but every bloom has been wonderful. I am doing a budcount analysis this year for all of my dl's (Thanks Rita, for the inspiration to really SEE what my plants are doing), and I would bet that even as a first year plant it is in my top 20%. The pic of WOW was taken early in the am, so the color by evening was much more washed out...it is not a real good "color holder" when the heat is on I am thinking....

You know that fall is coming when you're already starting to plan for next years yard. I dont know if Im the only one who has already done this, but Im starting to already see what Im planting in the yard for next year and where everything is going to go. But most of my plants are growing better than ever so they havent taken a hit from the shorter days. Cooler weather is on the way here too (Not every day is in the 90s anymore) but fortunately no daytime temps out of the 80s and no night time temps out of the 70s. Summer is really almost over and its sad since it went by so quickly. Fall and winter are my least favorite seasons and my plants arent so crazy about it either! Good luck! -Alex

Knowledgeable Gnome is a small flowered one. My Little Tea Set is one of my favorite small-flowered ones. Tangerine Angel is another small-flowered one. I know I posted Sihir before but I had to post it again. This one is becoming a favorite. It's in its second year here and its scape is a nice height and it's well budded as well. It has a rather unique flower as well. I didn't get any seedling pictures on Wednesday. Bob and I were too busy evaluating seedlings and making some crosses. We are way behind on crosses this year. That just means we won't have many seedlings to plant next season and less work for us. Nancy

Great group today! Love Crown of Creation, Oh Great One, Self Determination, Maui Sunrise, Sculpted Seashells, just to mention a few, but they are all so pretty, it's impossible to pick a favorite.

I like the way you present the flowers at a distance, so one can gauge the actual size of the flower. Sculpted Seashells is very attractive. It does seem to have a bunching of buds on the top of branches; is this ever a problem with opening?

You have so many great ones today. I'll take one each of these: Oh Great One, Evidence of Aliens, Self Determination, and Maui Sunrise. By the way, I looked up Maui Sunrise after I saw your earlier pic, and the hybridizer's photo makes it look more orangey. Do you think the color in today's photo is because of the cool temps? I'm wondering if it would be more orangey in my climate. I'm not as fond of orangey as I am the way yours looks on my monitor (reddish pink).

So many to try to pick a favorite from, but I think I like Evidence of Aliens and Self Determination the best.

mantis: SS hasn't hung up yet like some others did.

Debra: Texas and NY are worlds apart in climate. MS is more red here but I'll watch to see when it blooms this week when they predict our temps will reach upper 80's and possibly 90's.

Maui Sunset is an attention getter as is Best Kept Secret. I remember NY Rita showing Hot Tamales and Red Hots and your picture shows the same vibrant colors. Does the bloom open flat? It looks more V shaped and cupped in your photo........Maryl
