Geez, I just compaired the two pictures and it doesn't hardy look like the same daylily! Kay- Not surprised at Philistine Champion as your choice of favorite. Debra and crackingthe concrete- Great choices for favorites :-) You can't go wrong with any of them. nat- That is how PREDICTION always looks here in my garden. mantis- I have had Prediction for years and it has no problems whatsoever. Good increaser and excellent bloomer. maximus- At least half (and I think much more) of my daylily have not had there FFO yet. Scapes with big fat buds are just everywhere! Fabulous Frieda is doing great. Increasing and blooming with those stunning blooms. I have loved it and wanted it since I saw my first picture of it. Julia- The first few flowers of Wisest Of Wizards were much paler and looked like it normally does in my garden. Today's flower had more color. I don't know why. jkaydy, I don't know what the line would be called. annie and Ellie- Thanks!

I did some budcounts on Thomas intros. Some might be off as these are all blooming and its difficult to get an accurant count until you have empty scapes and budscars. So they might be low, but they are deffinately at least what I have counted. S. Sunset 18 S, Friendshp 10 Flamboyant Promise 15 S. Campfire 12 S. Carnival 22 Dancing With Sandra 35 Normans Folly 21 Tomorrows Heartbreak 23 Apache Way Dance 13 Hello Helen 16 Harlans Pride 18 We had that dry spell here of 6 weeks with rain before they started blooming. But since then we have gotten decent rains. So with more water maybe more blooming?

I have some late bloomers scattered in amoung the regular daylilies as I either didn't notice that they were lates or they didn't really bloom late. Seems to have taken them some time to get their acts together. Others just had not yet bloomed like Both North Wind Curly Joe and Up Against The Sun had FFO today. So did GUAVA JELLY, my Melanie Mason late bloomer, and Victoriana, from Brian Culver and Finial Destination from Karol just opened FFO the other day. FFO!!!! On July 28th. That is just fantastic. Anyway. Last year I made a small daylily bed section with some of those late bloomers and the Dale Thomas intros I had then. I finished it this year. It is just really coming into bloom now, in fact not everything in it has had FFO yet. Then I also last fall extended the Snapdragon garden by three rows of Hibbard lates and its ok this year but I can see that its going to pay off big time as sooon as these plants get some more time and size under them. Plus I have some more Hibard lates as a partial row in the front yard so that looks good. Plus I also bought MORE Dale Thomas lates and VL this spring and put in a new daylily section by making that one row in front of the late blooming new Rechamps there in the second row. Again, those two rows barely look like anything but give them some time. And last but not least, I have another garden section that is those extra late blooming Olallie Daylilies I added last August. Some scapes showing there but not yet ready to bloom. I really, really worked on this after bloom season last year because it was just over much too soon. I wanted to change that.

Olallie Mack is very pretty,and so is your Glads.I plantws some mii glads maybe 5 to 6 yrs ago, Din't like them,and pulled them out,and I am always seeing one pop up some where,and I jerk it out too,My young daughter been planting them at her house,when I pull them out here,I just seen another one popped up today.They not as pretty as yours.Mine was yellow with red eyes in them.They wouldnt stand up and was laying on my daylilies, so I jerked them out.
