Like your registered seedling. Ususual and pretty. I love the color on Purple Twilight. I really am in a purple mood today :-)) But my favorite of the batch is Merry Witch. So pretty.

Thanks! Ngraham - with rain, colors have been deeper and more vivid this year, especially after rain. We had nearly 2" of rain yesterday. So I grabbed the camera - you know bloom season is down and out when you grow 800 + daylilies and you only can find 16 to take pictures of (and some of those were duplicates.) At any rate, here were a few blooms this AM after heavy rain. First, the lovely LOLA BRANHAM, one of my favorites and a perfect example of the twisted cascade form. I have never seen the blooms look so "fat" or such a deep color before. Rain can sometimes have the effect of "fattening up" spiders and UFs. Anyone who can grow dormants and wants a LONG bloomer should look at STELLA'S RUFFLED FINGERS by my friend BJ Crichton. It starts EE and here has put up three sets of rebloom scapes. ( unheard of in this climate!) It is still blooming today and has lots of blooms left. This is a cute little one - great for front of border. Jane Trimmer's MICRO DOTS is another which has put up rebloom scapes. Great little one! HEARTBEAT OF HEAVEN is near the end of bloom, but the color today was darker ( and bloom was huge) after the rain. And a couple I just forgot to post last night. Here's one I can never seem to get a good picture of - Jack Carpenter's ESSENCE OF ROYALTY. And one by Reg.14 hybridizer Jesse George which has been a very reliable performer here. This is COACH'S CLASS ACT.

Vickie, it seems to be my favorite also. I think maybe it's also Ritas because she likes the multiple blooms. Personally, I like them up close so you can see details. I'm glad you like it... Well thanks Kay. The numbers just happened to fall this way... Jean, something Wonderful is one of my all time favorites. She has such pretty babies. Smith Lake Princess is rather new to me. Year before last I think. She is an outstanding cv.. Chris, Snow Blizzard is a favorite in the near white doubles. Not that I have that many but I like it. It's tall and has very large blooms. Somewhat Beautiful is a newly registered this year. One of JRT's from the LA. He has several Somewhat's. I agree, it's a weird name and if it wasn't so beautiful, I would never have bought it for the name. Sharon, SLP is pink her always although she has a slight lav blush sometimes. My Siloam merle Kent is always a clear pink and talk about prolific, he is!! Look again at the pic and see all the buds..Smokey Mtn Autumn isn't that prolific for me. He blooms nicly but not my best bloomer. I will take SSN over Janice Brown and day. It's a larger bloom, it's a nice soft pink and terrific increaser for me. On the otherhand, JB doesn't increase that much...Granted, she's a pretty face but short and not a long bloom time here. Maybe she does better in the north. Neither of those two re bloom for me.. Thank you Natanya. Sister Clara is the whitest I have.. Linda, I also have a few of his intro's and it does take a little time to settle in. Mine hasn't done so yet since I just got her this year. He does have a good eye though and knows what to cross to get what he wants... Rita, I thought you would like this page...All the multiples but also pretty when they are alone... Thank you all for dropping in...Ellie

I'm very impressed with the Open My Eyes clump. Gorgeous! It looks like Born in California is doing well for you too. I love that one! I saw a rebloom scape poking out of one of my fans this morning and was excited about that. Rock Candy has fabulous color contrast, and Charlie's Dream is pretty in a group. The Dominator fell down on the job here too. But at least yours is blooming. Neither of my two fans scaped. All American Chief and Art Attack are stunning clumps. I very much enjoyed seeing all your photos! Debra
