Sherry - It is marvelous to have some blooming in September. Razor Sharp is hard to beat, but Fighting Fire is always tops in my book. Pink Lemonade Party is a lovely shade of pink. My husband didn't even notice Picasso's Intrigue the first time around. But he was very impressed with the rebloom flower. So many flowers don't get appreciated if they bloom during peak. It's nice to savor these late blooms.

Such a treat to see your rebloom in September ! I'm still a Razor Sharp fan, love the color on Pink Lemonade Party.

There is a butterfly bush near those beautyberry shrubs but you can't really see it in the picture. The beautyberries, winterberries and the viburnums are only afew of the fruiting shrubs I have planted around here that produce berries that the backyard songbirds love to eat. The mockingbirds especially love the beautyberries. Those were the ones I moved earlier this year before the rose planter projects. I actually like them better were they are now but its only afew feet from were they were before. The winterberries provide food all winter long for the birds. Its really a holly and the females are planted here on the hill were I can see them from the office window. The poor male is stuck way in the backyard since he has none of those lovely berries but without him, none of the girls would either.

Michelle- We must have cross posted. Her pictures, to put it bluntly, are terrible. When I was there last year picking up my daylilies (only 20 minutes away) she showed me newer pictures of many on her computer and you would not believe the difference. If I remember correctly, most of the pictures are scanned in from copies of copies because thats what she had to use at the time the website was done. I know personally that they are truely lates and not just listed as lates as her garden is local to mine and that bloom in August there will be August here. Not sure how it would work out way down south but at least they would bloom after most of the others.

I suggest you dig it up, cut it back,soak it for 30 minutes in a solution of 9 parts water to 1 part Clorox, and then replant it elsewhere. I'm afraid in zone 8 rust may be inevitable. The first plant I had that showed signs of rust was purchased from a well-known vendor in a area where there is no rust! I'm sure something else in my garden had it, but it wasn't visible enough to notice. Rust has been especially bad this fall in some areas of our property. So far, as I am weeding/grooming in our field bed, the only tetraploid that I've inspected up close has been Kent's Favorite Two ... and it was surrounded by rusty plants. Of course, the year-old diploid seedlings planted there are almost all without rust. Those few that do have it are not much affected by it. I even have rust on those that are listed as rust-free! I do have one long raised bed full of red dayliles, both tets and dips, that hasn't shown any sign of rust ever, plus about 14 diploids that are planted along the road 8' apart that have never had any rust, either. All of these beds are about 200 to 300' away from the field bed. Nancy

Kate - August Fire usually blooms the second week of July here, so it was more than a month late this year. I figured all that Ida rain would yield more rebloom for you. We didn't get much more than sprinkles from Ida. Sherry - It's really strange that Last Chance hasn't bloomed for you in the two years you've had it. I would move it to another spot. Mantis - Those are the darkest red bloom on Bite of the Apple I've had in two years. It's normally more of a pinkish red here. Debra

Debra, Fighting Fire is tops among these for me too! I'm so glad you still have some. I usually have a couple til Oct. but this was a poor year for me for reblooms.

Picasso's Intrigue is stunning. I like the teeth and the saturated eye on "The Thing That Ate the Seedling Bed." What is its parentage?

You are correct that during peak bloom it seems we are running around trying to see everything and get pics and soaking all of them in!!! But when the rebloom occurs, we can really enjoy the few in our garden. And some of my reblooms were even bigger and better formed than the first ones. All of these are lovely and Picasso's Intrigue is striking but I have always loved your pictures of Fighting Fire. So many on my wish list, so many new ones in pots yet to be planted and another order on the way that I requested be late-I need to lose the wish list (well, maybe except for Fighting Fire)!!

Kate - I have so many coming this fall. I can't believe I ordered so many and won so many on the Lily Auction. Most of the ones I got on the Lily Auction I hadn't expected to get because I only the bid the smallest increment. But apparently not many people were bidding because I got some great deals. I'm looking forward to next week's cool down to get some new beds made and old beds redone.

These are all stunning and made all the more beautiful in that they are extra bonus blooms. I am still saying Razor Sharp is my favorite of these, but all are lovely. I am really surprised that I got a few to rebloom for me. First, because our severe drought continues and none are watered; and Second, because it is rare to get rebloom here under any condition. I ordered a couple lilies off the Lily Auction too. I guess the drought has reigned in my spending since I added fewer than usual this year. Which is a good thing since I don't know yet where I'm going to plant these two....lol.

Lovely group of blooms. It's great you have so many pretty blooms in September. Glad to see another picture of Picasso's Intrigue, it is striking.

You are right about getting lost in the shuffle during prime bloom. I don't remember seeing your Picasso's Intrigue until now. It's a doozy as they say. My favorite remains Razor Sharp though. You have got to let me know how it holds up in the heat next year. It's so unique. The color looks more violet purple then just plain maroon. Is that how you see it in person?......Maryl

I don't remember Picasso's Intrigue either, but then, I do have my senior moments. And so many beautiful faces! I love the ruffle on PI. Your daylilies all look so wonderful. I only have one reblooming right now, Little Rosy Cloud, & I think one of the cats pushed against the scape. Not quite broken, but it was laying on the ground. I braced it up, hoping to get a few blooms from it.

Maryl - Razor Sharp is more of a red violet in direct sun. This photo of was taken in early morning shade, which gives it more of a blue violet look. The eye is a gray lavender. It is definitely not as "purple" as the hybridizer's photo.

Celeste - Glad to hear you're getting rebloom -especially with those drought conditions.

Maryl and Nancy - I did post several photos of Picasso's Intrigue the first time it bloomed back in late June. I think other faces in those posts must have grabbed your attention.

Debra, you said you have a lot of new plants coming. Too much to ask what all of them are, but what are you most looking forward to?

Nancy - Well, some of the new ones are replacements for plants I lost two winters ago, and several of them are pinks I want to use in hybridizing: Geneva Pinkalicious, Keepsake Rosie, Princess Diary, True Beauty and Old Time Italian. Edward's photos inspired me to get Martha Chamberlain, which has been on my wishlist for several years, and Heavenly Snow White. After seeing so many photos here of White Eyes Pink Dragon, I impulsively bid on that one on the Lily Auction. I'm excited about everything I have coming, but I'm embarrassed that it's so much.

Ah, White Eyes Pink Dragon is on my wish list, I'm excited to see you got that one. I'll be watching for your photos. I got/getting about 25 new ones. Half are to fill in spots from those I lost to crown rot, voles, & just plain determined to die daylilies. Most excited about Teddy Bear's Picnic & Spacecoast Francis Busby! I keep saying I'm only going to add something new & that I really want, but did some trades for some I didn't know I really wanted til I saw them :) I want most to add some patterned or toothy daylilies, since I don't have many of those. I will have to look up those you got, I know when I see your photos of them I will want them. You should offer to sell your photos to the hybridizers, often yours are so much better.

Nancy - I also have some patterned ones coming. Dragonfly Dawn is the main one that's been on my wishlist for a couple of years. I also have some toothy ones on the soon to arrive list.
