And it's wonderfully cool here today. What a great day to do some cleanup on the daylily beds!

Congratulations on good rebloom. Love the eye on the first one. I have worked outside several hours today and it did not feel nearly so cool at 2:30 when it was 87 degrees. At least the humidity is not as high. Hope you get lots of work done.

Very nice reblooms. I love those days when the humidity and temps are low and the sky is blue. Great days for gardening. Glad to see you are getting some bloom :-))

Ann - Did you have any flooding? I know some parts of Williamson County were very hard hit. We are lucky that our place is on high ground, since we are only two blocks away from a creek that flooded and five blocks from the Cumberland River. We only lost some items stores in our basement, so we were very lucky. You are right about some people being in serious financial difficulty now. I have two very good friends who lived in Bellevue condos, which were in a flood plain. One is being denied building permits to rebuild her gutted condo, and the other can't rebuild until the owners of the condo complex do work on the structural elements. Both are having to live with friends and relatives for awhile. I know I appreciated the help from my neighbors. Two young men spent a long time helping us bail the water. None of us had pumps, and no place nearby had any to sell. If they had not helped us, the water would like have risen four or five feet. Debra

Linda - Destined To See is just a great daylily. It's one of those that not matter how hot, it always looks good at the end of the day. I have several seedlings from it, so I'm exciting to see what kinds of kids it produces. Ellie - Texas Blue Eyes is a new one for me. I'm glad to hear it doesn't melt for you. It probably will stand up the heat better after it settles in. I'm having the same problem with Winter Wolf. Gonegardening - Walking In Beauty was a wonderful surprise bonus. Does life get any better than that? I was really impressed with it in Stamile's catalog, but I had so many other Stamile pinks that I didn't buy it. I'm glad to hear it's doing well for you. Mona - It's so hard to stop buying them. I swore I would limit myself to no more than three new ones this year. But somehow I ended up with more than 20 - and I was already out of space. LOL Now I'm going to have to buy more land to keep up with my daylily addiction. Debra

Lovely collection of daylilies for this time of year! Larkspur Blues is a delicate beauty. Too bad Braided Edgings hasn't done well, it is a beautiful flower. Sea Shell Lullaby is a wonderful color, maybe my favorite of these. WOIA is always beautiful, and I like Last Chance too. Like Mantis, I like the white midribs on daylilies. Your hollyhock is really pretty. I grew hollyhocks for a while, but again, Japanese beetles decimated them. I still get an occasional one pop up from seed.

Maryl - Yes, all my mother's problems can be traced to the garden fall. Because of her existing health problems - history of strokes, heart valve replacement, early stages of kidney failure - the fall, the resulting infection, and the antibiotics caused many other problems. Her stubbornness is also part of the chain of cause and effects. She keeps pulling out her feeding tube, IV and other monitoring devices at night. Because of that she had to be restrained. She injured her wrist working her way out of one of the hand restraints, and that led to her surgery yesterday. She still is unable to swallow, and now speech therapy has even taken away her ice chips. She was very mentally alert until all this happened. Now there are days when she doesn't know where she is or what is happening to her. Debra

Some day I would love to have Blue Eyed Bandit in my garden!
But I also like Purple Corn Dancer, and added that one to my wish list. I have nothing that twists that much!

Thanks for sharing your beauties!

I like all three, but Blue Eyed Bandit is really special. Hope your rebloom season continues so we can see more photos.

Yep, BEB does it for me too, but I really love them all. I need to add Ricter to my garden, I think.

Gee Debra, I wish my Ricter would re bloom. I don't know why I haven't re bloom this year. All three of the dls are lovely. I like the PCD. Ellie

Debra, Wow! Love BEB. The other two would stand out ordinarily (very pretty)...but not next to BEB.

The eyes have it hands down. Isn't it wonderful to have a "cooler" day in August? Gives you a little bit of a break from the insanity caused by the hot sun.

Ellie - Hope you get rebloom on your RICTER. It's been a champion rebloomer here. I got rebloom on every fan this time. The flower on rebloom is much nicer than the first time around. The color is deeper, there's no splotchiness, and it even has a gold edge. I've had RICTER three years and have never seen it show a gold edge before.

Everyone else - The eye on BEB is a great one because of the color and because it's so big. Most of the daylily is made up of eye. Glad you liked it.
