Some pics from around the yard after work and 3/4 of an inch of rain yesterday (yay for rain!)... these were some of the daylilies that still looked pretty great. Lots of others had transparent areas and a lot had rips on them.

Armed for Battle FFO

Getting Airborne - picture perfect after the rain

Rose F Kennedy FFO - so happy to see her again this year!

Grace Like Rain

Mean Green FFOE - new last fall (finally got it!). A little rain battered, but had to share anyway

Worlds Collide FFO

Electric Mist FFO

Her Best Bloomers FFO (one of many)

Joan Derifield

Flaming Flamingo FFOE - new last fall

Time to get to work. Thanks for looking!

That shot of Getting Airborne is outstanding! What a flower! That is my pick for favorite but they all look wonderful. Yay for rain, even if we have to sacrifice a day of blooms. After the severe drought we had here last year I won't complain!

Rose F Kennedy - wow!!! Also, yay for rain, too, though the mosquitoes were bad this morning as a result. Well, can't have everything. Worlds Collide and Her Best Bloomers - lovely colors!

Julia, Truly angelic will be moved this fall. It is in almost total shade from my monster New Dawn rose now, and still put up five scapes I have to scoot undr the rose to get pictures. Brittie, I am glad you like them, they are favorites of mine and both have huge blooms. Patann, I am glad. Thanks Val. It is three now and coming into its own. the shooters intros do really well here. I want to get A Friend to all. Rita posts it and it is a beauty. Jean, I don't know what your problem could be. I haven't done anything for El Desperado, it is just its year. Next year it may do little or a lot, you never know. kay

Sarah, PP is just a gorgeous daylily. I have a fresh bloom today I will post. Time Drifter is a sound one. Never fails me. Jean, you and Sarah seem to be on the same page! Maryl, You and the above two ladies must be reading each others minds..LOL!!! Mantis, Most of the Maryott's have to spend a lot of time getting established here. They usually sulk for 2 or 3 years. Linda, todays bloom is really pretty.. Chris, I know you like purples. I like them a lot but pink is still the favorite. deangreen, it's really something with several blooms.. Soon maybe. Kay, if I remember correctly, you really liked that last seedling, last year. I had several bloom from that pod and they were very similar. Julia, I love the rain in the summer. The flowers need it as do we. Well water, you know. CG is in a kind of protected area so missed the buckets of rain that fell. Thank you all.. more to come. Ellie

I think you've done your homework on this lot. I like Ladies Night Out. Nice full form with a thin white edge. I see it's from Richard Norris, along with Ashwood Dark Side and Mary's Baby. Good hybridizer......Frosted Vintage Ruffles is very nice too, along with Picotee Dream. I think between the two I like FVR the best because it's got a more interesting texture to the petals. ....What a nice selection of daylilies. ........Maryl

Laura, My favorites of these are hard to pick as they are all excellent, and it speaks well of them that they survived the rain. I can see where Grace Like Rain, a 2006 flower, got it's name; Todd Agnew had an incredibly popular song released in 2003 by that name, and it is also one of my favorite songs. [It is on youtube]

Nice photos! how appropriate, a rain photo of Grace Like Rain and it does look great. I like Flaming Flamingo. Electric Mist is nice, I have a friend that has EM in her garden but haven't seen what her's looks like here.

My top favorite of yours (again) is Getting Airborne. I really love that one, and if I could find any room, I'd add it. Worlds Collide and Joan Derifield caught my eye too. How nice that you got that much rain! I rained for four days while I was away, but apparently it as light rain, with the total coming in a just one-third of an inch.

Beautiful photos! Flaming Flamingo and Rose F. Kennedy are my picks today. Electric Mist is cool too. We grow it, but it didn't do well this year.

I enjoy seeing photos with the rain on them. Shows which ones can hold up. Great group but I'm drawn to Electric Mist and Flaming Flamingo.
