So many gorgeous blooms and clumps! Clarification, Gimmee, Gimmee, Gimme, and Tahitian Waterfall are my favorites. Beautiful Edgings and Arrayed in White also catch my eye.

Beautiful! I love all your Davissons. I got High Water Mark last September, I am looking forward to seeing it in person. We are still dry here, never got any rain on Sunday like we were 'supposed' to. Argh! Maybe Friday now.

Even more I didn't see before! Royal Girls and Forever in Love are standouts, and Addicted to Love really looks a lot like No Boys Allowed. Those three are especially eye catching. Are they new this year?

Wonderful! I'm sorry you went to all the work of getting everything groomed, & just got that kind of response. I can't imagine, wish I had been there. My SIL give me that kind of look though, & says I spend way too much on my daylilies. Or rather, she tells her little granddaughter that, who tells me so :) I just shuffle my feet & explain they are most all in trades or for postage. And her brother is a smoker, my addiction is much healther & easier on the eyes. Anyway, you have so many lovlies here I hardly know where to start. UFs are probably attracting my main attention today-High Water Mark, Royal Girls, Gimme & Addicted to Love are all just gorgeous! But then Becky By, & Tahitian Waterfall are so nice too. Oh, well, not a one I don't like really.

Royal Girls, Addicted to Love, and JP Moneybags were added in the last year or two. It's been hard to take pictures because of all the bright sunny days. Dry and more dry in the forecast. The weather person was exuberant: "You don't have to worry about rain!" Of course, it's all happy talk from people who spend their days in air conditioning and have no idea what it is like to work in ninety-degree weather (with humidity).

Mantis,

Sorry about the poor response you got. I wish I could have been there, too. Lots of nice ones!

Bombay Silk is on my wish list. I have one called Big Smile which is a lot like Beautiful Edgings. Gimmee is very nice.

Your flowers are beautiful and your hard work shows--yes, you need true daylily lovers/addicts like us to give you the recognition you deserve. Everything on this post is just lovely--can't think of a better way to spend time on the computer looking at your fabulous pictures. It's hard to pick favorites with such a stellar group but I must say I love Gimme Gimme Gimme, was trying to get it several years ago, but Judi was sold out then. Now that my Davissons are not doing so well, maybe it is better for me to enjoy seeing them where they are happy. I hope you get rain soon; I'm with you, I just hate it when those weather people say "rain is not a worry". Yes it is, when it is desperately needed.

Well, your flowers and photos are lovely, Mantis. Absolute Treasure is a lovely pink, and I really liked Addicted to Love. That clump of Gimmee, Gimmee, Gimmee is a beauty,

Addicted to Love is my pick today. Lovely photos.

So many beauties, I can't pick a favorite. Sorry for the lack of Daylily understanding you received. I had a customer ask me what my favorite flower is, I told her daylilies! She said really, they would be on the bottom of her list. To each their own I guess.

Note that I have made an important correction. The flower identified as Forever in Love is actually JP Moneybags. Forever in Love is more yellow and not so flat. I do have that one too, but haven't seen it yet. Sorry!

The colors are amazing, I can't imagine anyone not being impressed! It would be lovely to be able to see such a display, wow!

It was a very hot day--bad luck for the humane society that sponsored the tour. So people didn't linger. And I too was stressed out. Also did not keep close enough watch on my potted plants, as a few were stolen.

These are all lovely photos. I give you credit for even allowing folks to tread through your lovely gardens although I can understand your wanting to support your local humane society. Sorry to hear you had "sticky fingers" at at your garden.

So sorry to read some of your potted plants were stolen. That's awful!

How terrible that someone would steal your potted plants, I'm so sorry! Hard to believe that anyone could do that, would take a lot of gall to do it, but apparently there are a lot of people who do it.

Sorry I'm late to post! Can't believe somebody walked off with your pots! I wish I had been there too. Your hard work shows, you always have gorgeous pics. I liked Addicted to Love today and Gimmee Gimmee Gimmee. I also like Marked by Lydia, it's a great yellow.

wow Mantis You certainly have a lot of beauties.. This picture of Beautiful Edgings is the best I ave ever seen of this one. just beautiful.What kind of camera is that, you use?....High Water Mark is one I have never seen before and its a beauty and like every one else I like Gimmee, too and Bombay Silk.I have had people steal plants from me, too, but not the pots they were in.They jerked the plant out and shoved it in a big purse,I assumed they beat the dirrt out first beforer shoving it in the purse

One of my biggest surprises as a new gardener 30+ years ago was when someone stole the big rose book in the reference section from the public library. I just assumed that ornamental gardeners had higher standards. Sorry to hear that people still have enough low class morals (if any at all) to be an invited guest in someone's home and steal from them. Shame!.........Your daylilies are all wonderful. All the pinks are beauties. Beautiful Edgings always stands out.... Can you tell me (if you have both) how Lady Neva and Free Wheeling differ (if any ) for you.......Maryl

Lady Neva has rather weak stems, is much smaller, and is a clearer yellow and rose red. Free Wheelin has a very striking maroon eye, with the base color being more of an amber yellow. Free Wheelin is slow to increase and this year has had a lot of splotchiness. But as I recall Lady Neva does not hold up in afternoon sun.

I I use the Sony RX 100--not the latest model. It's a good camera, but lots of pictures have to be deleted. Low light will distort colors.
