America's Most Wanted, Simply Sensational, Preeminent, Bicentennial Queen... AWESOMELY STUPENDOUS! I just love the name Party Popper, that's a good one and what a great looking double. How did I miss this post? Jan, I am looking at these during my lunch hour and I just don't know if I'll be able to work this afternoon:) Not only are these blooms gorgeous, your photography is great too. I wasn't going to go back to the open gardens this Saturday, but my son's girlfriend is coming down from Northern Indiana and she wants to go. I am going to have to see if the local daylily garden has some of these. Vickie

Maryl (and Mantis), Festive Fall does remind me of Citrix. Maybe it's that round eye. Citrix used to live here but was too tender, so I sent it a little further south to live. Festive Fall is a terrific performer -- great bud count, the flowers always fully open, and it's had a lot of increase. Debra, they do look similar. JKS gets plenty of sun here, but has never really taken off. Maybe Roaring Fork is an improvement in that area.

Years ago when I first started flower gardening I just used to stick things here and there willy nilly. I was never satisfied with the results. In the end I had to redo all the hodgepodge anyway. Much better for me to plan it out. Then I actually lay it out using a combo of edging, sticks and bricks (for spacing and making were plants actually go) before I start planting. Things turn out better this way, at least for me. I don't start much from seeds (too busy) and I usually buy the mix colors cosmas by the flat at the nursery. Got those also but got lots of seeds of things I wanted to try. These are Cosmic Red Cosmos and I really like them. I have other colors of reds and yellows cosmos but I never got around to starting them. The Portulacas I bought plants but the other side of the cosmas are some Zahara Double Fire Zinnias that I also started myself from seed. Notice I picked really easy things to grow from seed. Cosmos and zinnias are about as easy as one can get LOL! That front yard gardenbed that I call the planterbox (were I just put the iris) I have been working on. I put the front part which is two rows of daylilies and needed to do something for the back. I decided the iris would be good because most of the time you really would not notice the row of iris (leaves only) back there but they get plenty of light by the terrace wall. Then in the spring they would be easy seen when they bloom.

They are pretty Carla - I still have to see blooms on my Lady Emma this year, there are buds, just nothing looks set to open any time soon! Love the colour of Rotes Meer. Love the Clematis too. I just bought a few from Koi after seeing a thread about their sales, hope they do well. Last time I attempted to buy Clematis it was from Wayside and out of 10 only 2 have made it with only one blooming. I also got some from Costco - that was a mistake! None of them made it either. Thanks for sharing. Aprille

I don't know what the color is supposed to be on CK, but the color in your picture is very attractive. Blessing is a good one and, as always, Wild Horses is an eye catcher....Maryl

Wild Horses looks wonderful. Wish I could grow it. I tried but it never blomed for me.

Jason--Eternal Charms has been a really good consistent performer for me. It always seems to look good. Destined to See is one of my favorites this year. It has been fabulous.
Maryl--Cimarron Knight is a little more orangey than it looks here.
Lisa--This is the best Wild Horses has ever looked for me. I've had it 3 years and I don't think I ever had 2 blooms open at once before. Hopefully it just needed to settle in because I've always loved the flower.

Destined To See is my favorite of this group. I think I will always have that one in my garden somewhere. Mine has now got too big for the spot I put it in so I'll be dividing it and Mystical Rainbow sometime in early fall. Linda

OH Well thought I could pick a favorite until I saw the next photo and so on and so on. I guess they all are my favorites.

Elisa Dallas is probably my favorite, but you have some really great daylilies. Great picture of Wild Horses. I had mine 3 years before I really saw what everyone was raving about. It had nice blooms, but not a lot, but last year it did quite well, & this year it was just covered. My Destined to See never showed up this year. I thought I had moved it & was sure it would turn up, but nope. Same with Malaysian Monarch. Both were decent sized clumps, they were there last fall, I don't understand how they could just vanish.

Elisa Dallas looks like she's happy being a New Englander. Love the veining and color of Blessing.

I did enjoy seeing the picture of Wild Horses. Now I know what mine will look like when it grows up! I also liked Eternal Charm, a very delicate soft pink with a gorgeous throat that just seems to make stand out. Marg

I love reds and I love clumps, and you have some lovely pictures. Can't choose a favorite, but I like Cimmarron Knight, Elisa Dallas, Wild Horses and Gillian really well. Blessing is a lovely pink, and the two reds in the last one are gorgeous.

Love Gillian, just love that large eye. Elisa Dallas is a nice one too, I just planted it last summer, and it is doing great here.
