I'm doing a litle better. These are only one week old.

Val

Slow increaser and probably marginally hardy here, but a beautiful flower with good bud count.

This picture doesn't do this flower justice-excellent performer.

{{gwi:902047}}

One of my favorites

Love the flower on this one, but the blooms were in the foliage this year.

{{gwi:902049}}

New this year. Not many flowers and the scapes were short, but I'm sure this one will improve.

This one was new, but was fabulous! Great performance and rebloom with very little water.

This one is new too, but has performed well and increased and I love the flower.

{{gwi:902052}}

Another new one that has been very impressive.

{{gwi:902053}}

The only flower that wasn't splotchy on this one. It's new so I'm hoping for improvement.

{{gwi:902054}}

An oldie that always looks good. I moved it last year and it didn't seem to notice.

Clarification looks like a winner, both in flower and in habit. This is a super group, I like so many of them--beautiful watermark on Mabou, your photo really shows it off. Love the pic of Enchanting Esmerelda, it is new to our garden this year, but has not put up a scape. The Band Played On caught my eye, too, looks very good. Avedon

oooh, I like them all! Unusual & lovely blooms. Love the 1st seedling, nice color. Easter Egg really looks like an Easter egg, doesn't it. Vivid Butterfly is appropriately named too. Love the look of Fairy Free spirit. Elfin Magic has a very different look, & Web of Intrigue is so brilliant there. Good luck trimming those trees. Sounds like fun. NOT!

Better Than Ever is my favorite! I love the colors, and got it this spring because of past photos you've posted. Here My Love looks like a real sweetheart. Even though I promised myself I wouldn't add anymore, that one may have to be on the Wish List for if I get more land. Debra

Heavenly Starfire does have a very impressive flower and the plant has increased well for me. Starman's Quest has been quite slow to establish here. I've always liked the flower, but this is the first year it has had a decent number of blooms. Lullaby Baby does look delicate, but it's a great plant with lots of blooms. Wolfpack Kid was another that took a couple of years to get going, but once it did it's been fabulous as you can see from the buds in the picture. Pocket Change has always been a consistently good performer and I really like the little white edge on it. Nat--American Freedom does occasionally hang up here, but most of the time it looks great.

It's going on a week now with this goofy picture posting problem and unless they get it solved by Friday night we've got the "weekend" crew (if there is one) back again and they were a big help before....... Anyway, on to your postings: The red orange one is my favorite. Good color retention in the PM, particularly if the PM was hot. So hard to find a deep color like that in the heat. Me Likee........Becky Lynn always looks nice. A good older one..........Maryl

Val, you have had some real beauties. I especially like Carrick Weldon and Enchanting Esmerelda, and Mabou is always a favorite.

Mantis, for me, The Band Played On has been an excellent plant. It has re-bloomed the last two years.

As you can see, the color is a bit different here (more pink) due to the heat. If you look back at Floota's blog, she has a lovely photo where it has a beautiful color to it. It is a good early morning opener here as well.

You have a lot of really nice ones there. Enchanting Emerelda is always nice but I also really like English Lavender. Marg

Beautiful bloomers. CLARIFICATION is a fabulous daylily and I am sure you will really enjoy that one. My favorite is ENCHANTING ESMERALDA, so very, very pretty.

Mantis-- glad you found the comments helpful.

Avedon, Clarification has been fabulous so far. Great bud count and branching and rebloom too. Enchanting Esmeralda is a great performer for me. No rebloom, but lots of buds so it blooms for a long time.

Kay--I love the look of Carrick Wildon and have heard good things about it so I think I'll love it when it settles in. Glad to hear that The
Band Played On does well for you. Hope it does well for me once it's established.

Marg--I think English Lavender is beautiful and it does have a good bud count, but I thought I'd lost it the first winter. It's been fine since then, but has only increased to 5 fans.

Rita--clarification has been fabulous so far. One of my best performers this year and I just got it last year. Enchanting Esmerelda is one of my favorites.

These are really nice bloom pics (and blooms) :) I especially like The Band Played On and Russian Easter, although all of them are definitely worth looking at :)
