Well, that's another 10. Thanks for looking! I will try to do another post tomorrow if I can. Oh, and in case anyone might be interested, I will mention that I and a couple of other GW forum members have sale ads posted over on the classifieds on NGA :) Here is the link, in case anyone is interested: https://garden.org/forums/view/forsale/

T-bone Walker is such a great plant, I really enjoyed it this year. Your Coral Majority is really putting on a show. Mine has multiplied well & next year I think will put on a really nice show. I see a couple more new fans to add to the 4 I have. Each fan rebloomed this year, it may still have one more bud to bloom. The Dream Society is a lovely bloom.

Condilla and Simplicity in Motion are my picks but they all are beautiful. I don't grow any of these so I really enjoy their pics.

A very interesting group for any Northern gardener. Can you comment on Tina's Siren Song? Is it the registered height? Does it consistently bloom above the foliage? Is the bud count good?

I agree that The Dream Society is much nicer than the pic. The purple is much richer, as is the blue eyezone.

Which of the Hansons most excites you, other than The Dream Society?

Such a lovely collection. I love Coral Majority. It rebloomed in spectacular fashion for me. So bright. Holo Deck clump is impressive. And best color i have seen on Ashwood Smokey Joe. Great photos

How pretty! Coral Majority is so lovely in the group like that. Filled to Overflowing is beautiful. TDS is beautiful, and I really like Boundless Beauty.

Gorgeous blooms! My favorites are Coral Majority, Filled To Overflowing, and Tactical Deception but all are lovely.

Laura,

A great looking bunch of pictures. My favorites are CORAL MAJORITY, HONEY ON MY LIPS, SIMPLICITY IN MOTION (never seen that one before), ARROGANT BASTARD and CONDILLA. CONDILLA always doubles and never has a bad bloom.

Thanks for sharing.

Didn't you get more "smoke" on Smoky Joe? Here is a pic in which the smoke is not especially prominent, but definitely noticeable.

And in cooler weather, very apparent.

All are so beautiful, Laura. I'm happy to see you posting again! Your photos are always so lovely. It is always hard to pick favorites of any of yours but of course I am partial to Simplicity in Motion but I really, really wanted to get Jewel of the Oasis this year and I'm not sure why I didn't. I love it's coloration. I love and need more Hansons. The Dream Society is drool-worthy, as is Tina's Siren Song and that group shot of The Holo Deck is wonderful.

Both yours and mantis' photos of Ashwood Smoky Joe are terrific! I love both versions.

All lovely! I'm partial to the clumps, especially The Holo Deck and Coral Majority.

Beautiful, Laura! Too many nice ones to pick a favorite.

So many nice ones, Laura. I think my favorites today are Coral Majority and T. siren a Song. Such great looking clump of Holo Deck. It's nice that you have a good amount of rebloom.

Thanks, everyone! Mantis, I haven't had Tina's Siren Song long enough to be able to really comment on it. I got one fan in May 2016. It is now two fans, but only one scape. I just measured, it's close to 30" tall. I love the flowers and the fact that it has my Mom's name in it, which is why I suggested it as a bonus from Curt last year. I just noticed that one of it's parents is Filled To Overflowing, interesting. My Smokey Joe has more smoke most days, but did not on Friday. I will try to take more pictures of it next year... it starts blooming later than most and by then I am not taking many pictures, plus it's in an area that I can't get to easily, even from outside the netting fence.

People with cooler summer weather get the most beautiful colors during the dog days of summer. It was 100 degrees at noon yesterday when I went out to water and the temperature only goes up. Subtle Beauties such as Far From The Madding Crowd would probably not look as lovely here as it does for you. I'm smitten with it anyway. Honey on my LIps is unique and I like it. Coral Majority does surprisingly well for me even in our heat and your picture of it is great. Self Determination faded here even with afternoon sun protection. Still an alright color, but not as pretty as yours.. The Holo Deck catches my attention. Very nice clump shot...................Maryl

We seem to have many of the same daylilies Laura. A nice group of pics. I've never seen Honey On My Lips before. Is it true to the color in your pics? Just a nice blend.

Julia,

I just got it last year and Laura's picture is accurate.

David

Thanks, Maryl and Julia. Maryl, I can't even imagine dealing with that heat, as a human or a daylily! :) I do not do well in hot temps... I try to stay out of the heat and sun, get inside by 11AM and back out after 7PM. Of course, that's on the weekends, as I work full time. Julia, yes, as David said, it is accurate. That pic was not on a hot day and was not taken in sun. Here is a pic from about a month ago. Like David, I just got it last year also, so it's the first year blooming here. Solaris speaks highly of it on their website.

All so beautiful! And now I'm looking at The Dream Society again, and letting myself dream about the possibilities to come. Next year is going to be exciting!
