Wow! I love that you have so many blooming already. These are all wonderful and pure indulgence for the soul. Just what I needed to try to be optimistic that spring is around the corner.....even if that corner is covered in snow...lol. It is so hard to pick a favorite anytime of the year, but right now being so starved for daylilies they ALL are my favorites. The color of Hot Scheme makes me feel warm all over. And there is no way you can bore me with your pictures. I am starving for MORE so please keep them coming! Thanks Linda. Celeste

Mine i have had for about a year and a half or so i think - I am thinking (horrbile at remembering these things) I seem to think this is the second winter it is going through with me. It is one of the very slow growers, it isn't branching much, just extending its current ones. With great conditions, the flowers are about 6 inches or so - right now they look like minis... On several hibiscus i have, the new wood starts out green, i can usually see this years growth and as the growth gets older it hardens and becomes brown. this is especially apparent in my seedlings. its been interesting watching them change. i think with the slowness that it grows, the wood stays green for a lot longer. it takes about 3 time as long for the spent pods to actually fall off the plant, etc... it doesn't drop leaves that often, they just seem to keep getting bigger for a long time. have to say I had tons of blooms from it this last summer/fall - its not a large plant so i really only have about 2-3 flowering sections on it, but i had i think 6 -7 flowers open at one time for a few weeks.

It is not a perfumy fragrance...more of a musky...cinnaminy..kind of 1950's wanna eat it crayon fragrance (crayons smell different these days). It is unusually delicious...sexy if you will, and I find my self frequently going to sniff...well worth the C note....there is probably four inches of new growth since I got it in early August...it appears to be pushing out new branches already...it still get six hours of full sun and the temps have been in the 90's...it loves it.

Laura, thanks. I meant to put Git R Done on there. It had three huge blooms on it. Thanks for that one. It has done well! Debra, Royal Banner has been gorgeous. New last year and I don‘t remember that it even bloomed. Heartbeat is in partial shade so it tends to open well and actually holds color well during the heat. Winter Romance is huge and has great substance. Sherry, those strong bicolor lilies do draw your attention don’t they? Celeste, GG has been spectacular. That is an untouched shot from my phone. I will attach another shot that is untouched but using the portrait mode on the phone that brings only the subject into focus.
