As always, I love your photography. That's a terrific picture of Margo Reed Indeed. That one didn't fare too well here. I love the first pic of Piedmont Paleface.

Margo Reed Indeed is beautiful.. As Chris said, it didn't do well for me. That's a gorgeous clump of Longlesson Mango Glow too. All the photos are quite lovely.

Oh, very, very nice. I really like all of them, but Golliwog and Beautiful Edgings always are favorites for me. I can only shake my head about Wild Horses when I see other people's pretty pictures and I think about the pitiful plant of it in our garden, may be a goner next year. Avedon

Nice group of pics. Coral Majority I find is difficult for me to capture the true color of it. Filled to Overflowing has struggled here for many years. Far From The Madding Crowd looks like one of Curt's other intros "Capacity For Wonder". Neon Flamingo is interesting and I've kept it on a wish list but waiting to see how it looks in different gardens during different climate cycles.

This morning when I looked outside, I couldn't miss this--MB/MO Seed.#4 had five blooms. Believe me, this daylily really shows up. The blooms are consistent again in color and they are wonderful--no blotches, and the scapes are holding them up just fine. Mister Butters/Mint Octopus Seed. #4 Another beautiful bloom on Rosabelle Van Valkenburgh. I may make a cross with this one shortly, either Star Child or Little Rainbow. Rosabelle Van Valkenburgh Ruth, we plant our daylily seeds as soon as the pods mature. They go straight into the ground and then we just hope for the best. My favorite lavender: Berma Abercrombie--hooray, no blotches. This is for Debra--Small World Snow Owl/Malaysian Marketplace Seed. #6. It is a large, pale version of Malaysian Marketplace, bloom about six inches.

Thanks all. The purple noid is actually not as purple as the picture, more of a mauve. And David, I have Pastures of Pleasure. Kate, Daveo Holeman doesn't do well, so it is actually planted by itself next to the fencing for our trash can by the road. If it blooms, it is a bonus as it is so pretty. That is the curb in front of it. Christmas Day is one of those choices made because I have too many reds of this plain style. It goes because it blooms quickly and is gone in a couple weeks even if it has lots of blooms. Also it is a bit orangy compared to ones like Kent's Favorite Two or Red Volunteer, and not sun tolerant. The bloom I posted is an exceptional one from earlier in the day. It also opens late in the morning.

Margo Reed Indeed looks lovely in your garden. Mine had short scapes and fewer buds than last year. But the overall clump bloomed up a storm. I like the colors on Indy Magic.

It hasn't been easy and a bit frustrating to take pics but the swelling is down a lot, hand and a few fingers are black and blue and shades of yellow/green. No weeding yet but I'm itching to get back and clean up. Can actually type the "right" way. So many blooms yet but things are finally winding down and the weather is so nice and cool.

Oh your poor hand, hope you'll get better really soon.
Margo Reed Indeed is a beauty! I also like Piedmont Paleface and Indy Magic.

Margo had flowers almost submerged in the foliage here. I was disappointed with her this year. Indeed!
