Lillian is a lovely pink. There are so many pretty pinks rather similar, I don't think I have any light pink like it. And I really like the look. I take it back, I have Ed Brown. The blooms always look good, but it doesn't bloom that long & it hasn't multiplied much at all since I've had it. Wonder of it All seems to do so well for everyone, & a beautiful daylily, I've always admired it. And Jay Farquar, AND We are the Champions. And....well, you can tell I don't have many blooms left, I love every one of them. If I pick an absolute favorite though, would have to be Spacecoast Francil Busby.

Very nice Rita. I too have noticed that the rains have really pumped up the blooms. The ground is saturated here. Monday it rained all day, Tuesday we got a break, and yesterday, Wednesday - downpours that didn't stop all day and into the night. Hopefully today, we get another break. I just wish I could send some of this to folks who need it badly. Debra: I'm not too far from Rochester,NY and they are not having, as far as I know, any problems as much as east and south of us which are flooding. Rochester is a very big area. I don't recall a tornado affecting that area recently. When did you hear of a tornado hitting that area? Julia

Julia - Some of the reblooms are on short scapes, and others are not. Rebloom scapes on Pink Lemonade Party have been in the 30s - taller than registered. Rebloom stalks on Promises Kept and Cobalt Rings are exactly the registration height. This latest scape on Grandma's Smile is shorter than the originals, which were about an inch shorter than registered The others are on short scapes. Royal Jester's orginal scapes were a few inches taller than registered, but the rebloom scapes are on short scapes. Debra

I figured as much Debra on River City Pier Surfer. I've grown quite a few of the Buntyn pinks and they all had problems. Only Pink Aloha remains and I think it's probably one of their best as far as longevity in mid south and up goes....I started growing in pots because of our soil. Most of it is solid clay. I mean the kind of clay that can (and has) literally strangled tree roots, wrapping them round and round until the tree falls over. I've seen worse soil on some gardening shows though - Caliche soil in Arizona for instance- where they have to take a giant drill and drill through the "soil" in order to plant the tree in much amended back fill (making in essence a giant container). No wonder they grow so many shallow rooted Cactus and Succulents there. We are lucky compared to that..............Maryl
