It was a cool and windy summer day. I believe the high was 72 degrees.

Here is what was blooming in the garden today.

SPIRITUAL HORIZON - Vigorous grower

CONNIE CAN'T HAVE IT - The deer chomped the first scapes. This is a rebloom scape.

HEMAN

Transylvanian Tango - I love this plant.

HEAVENLY PINK FANG

LUCKY DEBUT

SITTING COOL: one of my favorite Bennett intro.

SOME SWEET DAY

That is all for me.

Nice group. Love the name Heman. Cool here too and windy but excellent weather for gardening.

Transylvania Tango and Heavenly Pink Fang are gorgeous, but I guess my favorite is Spiritual Horizon. I think I'd like to see some spider-flowered petals that were dark as well - are there some?

Nice group. Your Grace And Grandeur looks more white than mine does here. Does it look like that in person or is it the camera? I don't grow Spiderman so can not comment. A chilly 57 degrees here this morning.

MALCOLM DAVID BROOKER Sr.is my favorite. I was just saying I don't need any more with that yellow/almost yellow heavily ruffled edge, and yellow isn't even my favorite color in a daylily, but they seem to call my name. This one looks toothy though, & I don't have any really like that. I like your seedlings, actually of the 2 sibs, I prefer the first one. I like that dusty pink color, although maybe most people would call it muddy pink.

Continued RAM: Big blooms. Always a standout. THIN MAN: Another good one INDIAN GIVER SONNY JAY: An older Bennett intro. He tinker with yellows for a brief period of time. I plan on crossing this into some of Zahler's intros as this one has the start of a gold edge. HOT SEAT once again. It has the blackest edge of anything that I grow. One day I will get a picture earlier in the day. That is all for me. David (If anyone knows of a rain dance, please send me the steps)

Beautiful photos. Transylvanian Tango, Heavenly Pink Fang, and Sitting Cool are my favorites. We grow Transylvanian Tango, but ours never looks like yours. We have been very disappointed with it. I think it's time for it to try another spot in the garden.

I like that Stamilie, Some Sweet Day. If the color would only hold in my climate it would be on my list right now. Heavenly Pink Fang has a nice pair of twins. Connie Can't Have It looks great too............Maryl

Another interesting group. I am still waiting on Connie (after a few years) and here you have rebloom.

Bright bunch today. Best picture of Connie I have seen (in a garden). And I do love the Bennetts!

Would you say that Sitting Cool and Runaway Romance are your favorites, aside from Wild Cherry Wine, the one everyone knows?

Mantis,

SITTING COOL, RUNAWAY ROMANCE, FASHIONAIRE, JUBILEE BALL and WILD CHERRY WINE are my top 5 large bloomed daylilies introduced by Mr. Bennett. My top two pony sized intros by Mr. Bennett would be KIWI MAGIC and TACTICAL CAT. Once bloom season is over, as I am waiting on one of Mr. Bennett's intros to bloom. The scapes were nibbled on by the deer early in the season and it is now sending up new scapes. Once I get a picture of that one, I will post all of the Bennett intros that I grow.

David, I am happy with Salty Skipper. Really a grower too. You should post more pics in the NGA database.

Mantis,

I also have SALTY SKIPPER and that is another good one. I guess I like them all and that is how I have over 500 different varieties. Thanks goodness for having kids, or I might have my entire backyard one giant daylily bed. I will have to work on adding pictures to the NGA database during the off season.

I was curious, so I went to see - F. Bennett's intros are all diploids. Nice to know, since that's what I've started with. I may never produce anything "register-worthy", but there is the potential. And it's just so darn exciting, isn't it?

I always admire Connie Can't Have it every time I see it, but keep thinking I have 2 or 3 that look very similar. Still...may have to get it one of these days. Love that white edge on Transylvanian Tango, you just don't see white edges as often as yellow. Heavenly Pink Fang is stunning.
