This morning she shines again with 3 more perfect blooms and doesn't appear to stop with the buds either.

Your photos are great. When Worth It All is good, she is very, very good. Here's a shot of one of her good days in Michigan:

I'm so torn by this daylily. The color (whether it's a pink day or a coral day) is great with the green throat, and I love flat faced blooms. But her flaws are just too numerous here. I wish she behaved like she does in your garden.

I've had a few of those not so good blooms too.

Now LAURA HARWOOD is nothing but bad here and I plan to get rid of both clumps I have. More frustrated with that one than WIA. Lots of scapes and buds, increases great but the blooms seem to be always blemished here in my garden. I was going to keep one clump but I'd rather invest my time, energy and space with something that will not be so blemished. This is the best out of 20+ blooms on both clumps.

Hi Ruth Ann. Your brugs seem to be a decent height. How do you plan on overwintering them? Are you just going to take cuttings or are you storing them intact in a cool greenhouse? I have a couple that I overwintered last year at my mother-in-law's. She has a large bank of windows and they faired alright. They are about 4 feet high now and I don't think I'd get them in the truck to haul to her place again (She's in a different city). I'm trying to figure out some way to overwinter them without having to chop them up into smaller cuttings :( Unfortunately I don't have a heated garage otherwise I'd try storing it there. Any suggestions? Thanks

started having the daylily 'crazies' in 2008, and 'Worth It All' was among the top of my wish list. Heard lots of wonderful things about it. It is still very much in demand at the LA. I am still waiting for my turn. :) That is definitely a very good one to have!

StP=I wouldn't stop feeding the birds. What happens with Mother nature, stays with Mother Nature. I have a red shouldered hawk in my neighboring empty lot. He sometimes wakes me with his call. Lately I hear my cardinal pair off it the same lot and they are avoiding the feeders because of the hawks presence. Still, when they can, in the evening they will manage to sneak over and chomp on some seeds. Hawks are amazing critters. I also have a pair of swallow tail kites that circulate regularily. Magnificent birds. The do keep the smaller birds at bay at times, but I love to watch them display their sailing ability.

all clad brand cookware-is it worth it?
Q

So the reason for the copper lining is that copper heats up fast. Think copper wires which distribute electrons so well. Iron/steel isn't a really good conductor. It's slow to heat up. With the copper core or lining, the heat comes through the steel then rushes around the copper and heats up the top layer of steel. Every heat source has variations within it, which makes for hot and less hot spots, and cold food (colder than the pan) cools down the pan as well. The quick reaction of cladding, whether copper, aluminum or both, evens it out much faster. For induction, clad pans also have a tendency to whine. People attribute that to the different layers heating differently--I don't know if that's true--but I think it's less prevalent in heavier pans. I use Le Creuset enamelled cast iron for most things. I have their enamelled steel tea kettle and stock pot too. My skillet, however, is Demeyere, as is my griddle and a new little pot. I use carbon steel crepe pans for eggs because they react so fast, and also for small batches of pancakes of any kind. As Gooster said, the right pan for the right job.

Julia - Worth It All is so beautiful in your garden! Like Chris, I wished it had performed more like that in my garden. Eighty percent of the blooms were splotchy over a three-year period, so I sold my plant. The scapes were always very short here too - 17-18 inches.

That is too bad about Laura Harwood's blooms. You might want to try the late blooming Regal Finale. It looks similar but seldom has splotchy blooms for me.

Now that is a beauty in your garden. Worth It All is a color combo (green throat) that I love too. Laura Harwood huh? I have it new, and hope it does well here, but a couple of constant splotchy ones are leaving here too. Also, if LH is splotchy here it will go. Life is too short, and so is space to have an under-performer taking up rel estate.

I do love your photos though. they are always thoughtfully composed.

Worth It All looks so nice in your garden, lovely color. Too bad about Laura Harwood, but thanks for posting this info, good to know.
Kay, which ones are splotchy for you?

Like Debra's plant, I also have a constant problem with splotchy blooms and the height of the plant being way too short. We've had a lot of dew this year so perhaps that has contributed to the splotchiness. I can't change the weather, though, so I'll have to substitute one that's more reliable.
