Mantis and Julia - I think Skullduggery is only registered as having 15-16 buds. Mine, still in a pot, only has 6-8 buds per scape this year. I don't think I've ever had more than 15 buds per scape, and that was probably in the first year I had it. In the past, it's been a very reliable rebloomer. Being in a pot for several years, it has not multiplied very quickly. I have a lot - especially early bloomers - with very poor bud counts this year. We got NO rain to speak of in April, which is the opposite of what usually happens. I started watering my seedlings and the two beds by my seedling regularly in early May. The daylilies in those have much better bud counts than those I only watered a couple of times in May. Jean and Anika - Glitter Gal is a nice one. It is not diamond dusted. Where it glitters is the edge. It has a double edge - gold wire - that does glitter - and a fluffy white and gold edge with some tendrils and knobs. It can melt on a 95-degree day unless it's kept well-watered. It does fade somewhat, but still has a pleasant lavender color at the end of the day. It multiplies very quickly. Debra

I think my favorite is Twirling Parasol. It looks like a huge bloom. The red noid and the Susan Weber clumps are very impressive. Snowflake Empress is a pretty one. A friend here has a very large clump of it, and when I toured her garden it looked very white. Debra

Yes, Snowflake Empress always has perfect flowers. It is not so ornate as Victorian Lace, but a sturdy and reliable plant. I too got Part-Time Princess as a bonus and am glad that it has bloomed well; haven't seen mine yet. (Judy seems to like these girlie names--Pink High Heels, Part-Time Princess.)

Kate, when you build those new beds, they will fill up quickly, I know--it will be "hemaholic heaven" when the blooms start. Sherry, whatever space is available is just fine for the daylilies so we can get those beatiful blooms. To all of you who like Jean Swann, there are four plants and with this many blooms, there is fragrance, too. Jean was ordered about ten years ago from a catalog--I believe the cost was $18 for three plants--I laugh now, for at that time I thought that was a lot of money for daylilies. The fourth plant came when Jean produced a proliferation, the only one we have ever seen. Celeste, I hope Katherine Caldwell does as well for you as it has here. I just wish our Stargate Portal was as pretty as yours. Our plant is really puny for some reason, but we will wait and hope it gets better as it gets older. Kay, I saw the picture of Jan Zoo that Julie Covington posted a few years ago and just had to get one. I actually had some trouble finding a source, but mine came from Bonnie Nichols of Oak Hill Daylilies. I also got Sunny Intervals and Katherine Caldwell from her, plus a number of other of our daylilies came from her.
