Yes, lots of rain damage this year. But you have some bright ones. You Glow Girl has a trio chorus line, and Rosy Rhino is quite a specimen. Carnival In Brazil is a looker too. I'm beginning to wonder if no one grows Annabelle's Blush with good, fully open blooms.

wren-garden, wish I could answer your question, but this is the very first bloom I've had. Overcast today, with some showers. Predicting rain every day til next week, so I don't know when I will know how it will do under normal conditions. It is about noon now, I just came in & it looks like it did this morning. I've been waiting on this bloom, & was so sure it would storm this morning so I couldn't see it. Kay, Beautiful Edgings is always beautiful, isn't it? One of those older ones everyone should have. I sure wish you could get some of this rain, our backyard was a pond yesterday, got almost 1 3/4" rain in a very short time, makes about 5 1/2" in 4 days. My iris are not looking good.

Every time I see China Bride I like it even more. Looks like it has a lot of substance to its petals. Wonder of it All always looks good too............ Finally I think Tropical Storm Bill has moved on east from us (hopefully it will reach you Debra before disappearing). I'm dreading the return of the heat and humidity now, but all this rain when my daylilies are just starting to peak is discouraging. A little rain is one thing, but Inch after Inch of rain and even the sturdiest blooms start melting..........Maryl

I love SKYHOOKS. Seeing your picture reminded me that I need to move mine to a better spot as I haven't seen it bloom for at least the last year. It is a wonderful plant. I would also agree that GRACE AND GRANDEUR is a reliable one. I also need to move this one as I have it planted next to my shed and my Golden Doodle likes to run next to the shed and knock buds off the scape. She is a great dog but a bull in a China shop. David

Blooming today on the hottest day of the season (so far)

This one has a different look from what you usually see from me. It is Heavenly Dark Knight X (Back Draft X Tet. Rose Kennedy or Heman). This third year blooming seedling has a good scape so it was selected to be moved to an observation bed. It is Stellar Stitchery X Cherry Pie a la Mode. This is Luscious Kiss X Stella's Ruffled Fingers. I wanted one that blooms as much as Stella's RF but with a different color. The color is there so now we will have to see about the blooming. It's just its first flower ever. We really liked this one this morning. It is Curious Cutie X Purple Maze. I could go on but I'll quit. Nancy

Annabelle's Blush looks so pretty next to that hosta, and You Glow Girl just lights up the screen. Even though it has some rain damage, I think Carnival in Brazil is my favorite.

Wild One always gets my attention and You Glow Girl is looking especially fetching..... I'm glad the rain is gone for awhile. But today I had to drag out the hose and water the pots. If it's not one thing it's another.....Maryl

Rosey Rhino looks huge. I like your pic of Carnival In Brazil. I have that one here but over the last 2 years it was less than stellar in increase. It needs to be moved, so this year it will be.

I really like the colors in Carnival in Brazil. I have Rocket City and Lime Frost but they haven't bloomed. A squirrel or dog or something broke Lime Frost plant but it didn't have any scrapes anyway.

Rosey Rhino is blooming more then usual this year,and bigger blooms since I dug it up and put it in a pot.carnival in Brazil has struggled several years, then this year it got dug up and moved, tooIt don't have very many buds this year, less then six ,as I remember.

Maryl, I have to water, too. My daughter watered most of mine today to keep me out of the heat.I just have to go out and water around 25 or so.
