Love the seersucker pattern on Broacaded Gown's petals. And how can you go wrong with the form on Belle Cook..........I'll add one of my all time favorite oranges to the mix. Unfortunately I don't have this anymore as it is not rust resistant and got the heave ho the one time I had rust. It's a unique shade of coral/orange that I've never seen duplicated. It was recommended by someone ages ago on this forum and I recommend it too for it's unique color if you have reliable rust killing winters......Maryl

Sherry, I really like Bark at Me. Mantis, I recall one of the guys a couple of years ago saying Blue Pink Beauty gave them a ton of buds. Does it do that for you?

Blue Pink Beauty is not a fast grower. It is fairly well budded, as I recall--nothing extraordinary here.

Bela Lugosi

Blackberries and Cream

Bold Tiger

There are some new ones here that I'm liking. I usually don't go for creamy colored daylilies, but that picture of Be Here Now is just luscious. Bold Vision is striking too. Also great pictures of Bela Lugosi. I can never get a true picture of it. One of two pretty good sunfast/colorfast dark purples in my garden.....Maryl

Mantis, does Boundless Beauty open well for you? I would like to add a heavily ruffled one but not sure if they would open well here.

Two really nice posts of Bold Tiger,have to think about that one.

Brad, like your Brooklyn Twist, I'm searching for another spider. Ripped out the only spider I had, was so disappointed with it.

Sherry

Boundless Beauty generally opens well, but there can be some disasters. The percentages are quite good; I am quite intolerant of those cultivars that persistently have problems opening. Of course, you are farther north, but I doubt that your morning temps are that different. Bold Tiger is a nice later one, but not large, and the bud count is not great; it has a good number of scapes and multiplies quite quickly. A reliable show giving a nice spot of color; but one wishes it hung around for longer.

Sherry I see why Belle Cook is a favorite. Love the yellows like Brocaded Gown that are pale without being washed out. All are outstanding from everybody!

Sherry, your Bark at Me does not look like other pics of that one. Perhaps Lake Norman Spider?

Sherry, The best spider by far for me is Carmen Renee. It's a fast increaser, puts on a long great show. One of my top daylilies in general. Brooklyn Twist and Peacock Maiden are next on my list of good spiders.

The first few pictures were taken in Florida last May. I don't grow these now.

Blossoms Blooming has amazing color. It is registered as dust pink with a patterned blue eye. To me it was soft melon with a lavender eye. Whatever you call it, the colors were amazingly clean and pure. It was too expensive for our purse but maybe later when the price goes down, we will try it.

Barbara Mandrell (this one was growing in Georgia) has a nice watermark and edge.

We do grow Bella Isabella, but our first one was eaten by a vole its first winter. Our second one was planted last summer but did not bloom. This flower was at Tim Bell's garden.

I like the fanciness of the edge on Better Half, but I wish the eye color was more saturated. This flower's grandparent is New Paradigm. It has the same faded eye, but better form than its grandparent.

The rest of the pictures come from our garden. This is Bass Gibson. This one just keeps getting better every year. It's a reliable seed setter too.

Best for Last is a pretty late variety. Bob and I like to seek out fancy late tets to extend our season. We do get some rebloom here, but there's a great deal of difference between the display that a rebloom scape here and there makes and that of the first flush. This one is not yet established, but it looks like it will perform well.

This Florida bred daylily, Better by Design, looks like it might like our climate. It's not yet established but is doing very well so far.

Bewitching Eyes, a Florida-bred Petit hybrid, made it through last winter with flying colors.

Bob loves the tall ones. This is Big Bird's Friend. It is probably my favorite of the tall ones he grows. The flower is quite large. My question is why do the tall ones always have to be plain yellow (not my favorite color)?

Here's another plain yellow, but it is probably one of my two favorite yellows. It is Bill Norris and a finer daylily you will not find. It's well budded, tall, flowers that hold up well, and will throw some rebloom scapes. It's a Stout Medal winner too.

Nancy

Bodacious Bite continues to be a favorite of ours. I don't think this one is widely grown, but it should be. It's an offspring of Fooled Me and Forestlake Ragamuffin. It has a nice edge and is a very consistent flower, always giving a perfect bloom that lasts well through the day. It sets seeds too.

This is Bonibrae Seymone. This is not well established yet, but you would think it would do well here because it is Canadian-bred.

Bristling Fury has taken a long time to show us what it can do and I am still not sure it is there yet. In its defense, it was a tiny little thing when we purchased it (and paid a lot too). It is giving us some interesting looking babies.

We love this one. This is Broadway Spotlight. It has done well for us. We wish we could get the intensity of its color in a full-sized daylily.

Bubba on Tour is a beautiful daylily. Bob selected it because of its flower size and flatness, but we usually don't go for the pastel ones. I don't think I have seen 7 inches on a flower here, but you can see from the photo that we let the weeds get ahead of us. The weed in the picture here is Asiatic dayflower. It has a beautiful blue flower, but you do not want it to get started. It is a very nasty weed that is very invasive.

I usually don't like posting pictures with hands in them, but I'll make an exception. I am really excited about this daylily. It was sent as a bonus from James Hall with a tag that said Buddy's Kristi. I could not find the name in the AHS database and thought perhaps someone had make a mistake when writing the tag. We waited for it to bloom so we could contact Hall. Before we could do that, he posted some new 2016 entries on the lily auction and this was one of them. The name was correct after all. I have never had a hybridizer send me a new intro the year before it was introduced.

Buzz Saw is supposed to be a good rebloomer but does not for us. It's a sibling to Heavenly Pink Fang and Puffer Fish but is quite short in our garden.

Butter Me Up is another of Bob's yellows. It is a nice flower, quite large and flat.

Richard Norris's But Wait, There's More usually is single at the beginning of the season and doubles on the rebloom. It's a vigorous plant with nice tall scapes.

Burning Inheritance is one Bob picked. I like orange but am not crazy about orange selfs.

We also grow Butter Pecan, which does very well for us. I won't post a picture since Mantis already did (and I'm out of space).

Loving the orange and yellows Nan. I got Burning Inheritance last year too and it's a keeper in my garden. Sunfast/colorfast. A big big plus for brighter/darker colored daylilies. Broadway Spotlight is neat too and Bass Gibson draws my attention. I don't know what the price is on it now, but it was way too rich for my blood when it first came out..............Maryl

Mantis , I agree with you that my Bark at Me doesn't look like the database pictures. I didn't investigate it when I ordered it, just liked it. I ordered it from Oak Hill Daylilies in central Illinois, all I can say is mine looks like the picture from her gardens. I don't feel it is Lake Norman Spider either. Sounds like I need to send them a note and ask about it.

Sherry

Mantis, (or anyone else who is interested) Oak Hill Daylilies got their original Bark at Me from Gary Colby an AHS officer and very knowledgable. They have been growing it for 12 years and there was never any doubt of its identity. They are going to check out the data for it, they want to know what they are selling is correct. I also know that conditions play a part in flower appearance etc. I did find a nursery in Ohio that has a plant that looks like mine for purchase. Gosh, I love this forum!

Sherry

Nancy: Yes, I like the coloration of Bodacious Bite. Unfortunately, it is very hard to locate. The growers still just invest in the cultivars of big-name hybridizers. Do keep us updated this summer on the performance of some of the newer Southern ones.

Sherry: I see one picture from Maple Gardens that looks like your Bark, but all the others have narrower segments and a prominent eyezone.

Berma Abercrombie is one of my favorites.

Bill Fall a later one, very bright, but not high bud count

Bill Fall is really nice. Later blooming is always a good thing. It seems a great percentage of the late bloomers are some form of yellow.

Sherry

So many pretties! Love Blazing Saddles, Bella Isabella, Bass Gibson, Blue Eyed Butterfly, and so many others... I don't have any new B's but the old reliable oldies that did very well last year:

Blueberry Candy

Blessing

Um...That Blessing is a new one to me. I like it............Maryl

I really like that purple of Bela Lugosi. a beauty. BALLERINA ON ICE is a very pretty one, too.I, too, like that Blessinglove that color.Love that eye on BLACK FALCON RITUAL, soo pretty.some really nice blooms here.

Another pic of Big Snowbird, a nice older dip.

Hardly worth a separate post, but here is old Beloved Deceiver, a nice small flower that grows fairly well here, but is nothing to get excited about.

No one posted Beautiful Edgings. While it took too much space in my main garden, I put it into the hospital garden.

I found a couple more B's.

This is Borders on Bordeaux, another one from Richard Norris. It is fairly new to the garden but I expect it to perform well.

This is a better picture of Best for Last.

We fell in love with this one at Nicole DeVito's garden last May. This is Bites Like a Thousand Teeth and I am happy to say we now have one in our garden. I hope it comes through the winter ok.

Good to see you back on the forum, Dean. I missed your posts last summer.

Thanks mantis, I was undecided about the gardenweb -> houzz change, decided to check on the "forum" today and it gave me a nice reason to look back over last summer's flowers! ha :)

Bold Awakening (Carpenter 2008)

I wish I could grow those Carpenter evergreens. Blue Valentine is a great name. Looks somewhat pansy-like in the eye pattern.

How could I have forgotten Betty Ford? Great performer here last year.

Dean, I really like your seedling--what a beautiful eye and clean colors too. Bold Awakening is beautiful too.

thanks hoosie!

I'm compelled to add two more after weeding the garden some today in the nice weather after work, what light I had, I noticed some names that were with B that I failed to include before:

Baby Dragon's Tongue, it's a basic small red, but if anyone landscapes, it increases like crazy!

Balloons Rising (M Skinner 2010) photo doesn't do it justice, but it's a nice little one that recurves and thus the name....

An update on my Bark at Me. The nursery I got it from checked the AHS website, etc. and agreed it wasn't BaM. They have removed it from their website and are trying to get in contact with the AHS officer they got it from, no answer so far.

Sherry

I like Big Snowbird in both your photos! The B's are all beautiful! Here's a few more from my garden.

Baja California

Barbara Mandrell

Bullfrog Kisses

Border Blessed

Biltmore Style

Debra

Hi Debra! Glad you are posting! Great photos as always.

Sherry

Debra, Barbara M. & Bullfrog Kisses are really nice!

I love Bullfrog Kisses. We added it last spring but it didn't bloom. I hope it's hardy.

Forgot about Back Draft. Doesn't open all the way quite frequently. One last chance is a new spot this year.

I haven't met a daylily I didn't like ! Here are a few of my "B" daylilies .

I like Buttercream's color and open flat form very much.
