At this rate I'll be posting pictures of this summer's daylilies in November. These are probably at least a week old. I hope I haven't posted any of them before.

Wow! You have some beautiful pictures to post today, Val.

Javanese Jewel is lovely, Look at the tentacles on Golden Tentacles! Big Hearted Lady may be my pick, but Margo Reed Indeed is always a beauty. I like the bloom form and the color of Her Best Bloomers. Abba and Pearl Harbor are both gorgeous.

Some striking shots of multiples. Javanese Jewel, which I hadn't seen before, especially caught my eye. I wish it were taller. Knights in White Satin hasn't been a great grower here.

Thank you all for the very gracious & complimentary replies. dreamgoddess -- I couldn't believe it when I got those cherubs for a total of $48.20 from Horchow...orig price was $188. + add'l ship $17.00 + ship + tax. I got them for 30% off clearance($66.00) and completely free ship. bettyd_z7_va & work_in_progress_08--I didn't start until about a week before Christmas because I was down with some bug--I wasn't sure if I would do the big tree or not, and then I got a burst of energy & creativity. I have 4 cats--one is eight months old, so I wanted things on the tree that wouldn't break if it went over or was attacked. ;-) Basically the tree is full of faux flowers. Normally when I do that Victorian look I also use my collection of white china birds too, but I didn't want to risk it--I would also use delicate ornaments as well. I don't buy much new, so I try and re-purpose or re-work what I have. Even though it the same old stuff--it becomes fresh again. Judith....I've had that throw for yrs and just decided to use it on the back of the sofa, normally it's on a chair. Truth is, I wish I had "layered" a bit more like getting bows on my Staff dog collection I store it all in a full attic with full staircase access, so that makes things easier when moving bins up and down, what slows me down is arthritis in hands and knees. I will take it all down over a period of time and don't rush it, otherwise it would be too overwhelming. Again, I don't want to stress my joints. I just noticed--the two cakes are actually 3-wick candles and I forgot to take off their wrappers. Jim

Good call, Mikgag - I have one and had to go look at it to see if it has any all-gold leaves (Dee's Golden Jewel). Mbug, your Antioch is resplendent amongst the other hostas in the photo. Devon Green is perfect, and Paradise Glory has beautiful colours I gravitate towards. Wonderful pictures as usual. Thank you! :-)

I'm picking Her Best Bloomers and Big Hearted Lady. Are they both good growers for you? Nice clump shots of Pearl Harbor and Abba, also. They never looked that good here!

You know, Val, we'll really need to seeing some daylily pics in November. LOL! Your Love On A Wire looks so well budded. I really need to get that one in the ground if it can perform so well. My favorites are Abba and Big Hearted Lady.

Big Hearted Lady may be my favorite, but really hard to pick a favorite from these, I like them all.

Mantis--Javanese Jewel is a beautiful flower, but has a modest bud count and blooms out pretty fast. Knights in White Satin was doing nothing here until I moved it. Now it's doing well.

Chris--Her Best Bloomers and Big Hearted Lady have both done very well here.

Debra--Love on a Wire has had a great bud count here from the beginning. I took off a couple of fans last year for trade and it didn't seem to phase it in the least. Wish all of them behaved like that.

Thanks everyone for your comments.

They all are just beautiful. Like most here have to go with Big Hearted Lady as my favorite, and even though I don't care for UF's that much, the combination of Watchyl Digital spider with whatever that daylily in the background is, really pops for me......Maryl
