Trying again to see if I can upload photos.

UP MILL CREEK- fewer blooms than past seasons.

WHIP CITY BIG HONKING HEART THROB - no problems with scapes or buds.

WHIP CITY OOPSIE (WITH BIG HONKING HEART THROB) - another good performer

KIOWA SUNSET - short scapes and few buds this season.

TOBY VS GOZILLA - gotta love the name and its tall and many blooms.

Can't remember the name of this one

JOAN DERIFIELD - kept forgetting to take a pic of this one. It is a division I have sitting in one of the beds.

JAMIE DOCKERY - multi blooms today. I love this one but always said it resembles Claudine's Charm.

EARTH AND ALL STARS - looks much better this morning and the way it typically blooms here with big bloom. Sorry for cutting off the lower blooms. I got too much glare in the pic second pic.

CORAL MAJORITY - not sure what is ailing this daylily. Seems the blooms don't open like they should.

SELF DETERMINATION - much larger blooms than the first one I posted.

I'll stop here because the pics are loading slow again. Four days of rain really benefited the garden and the blooms are back to normal size.

Great group and beautiful pics! My Self Determination has had really washed out color most days this year, I'm sure weather (heat and lack of rain) related.

I had to go look up Penny Pinsley. It's a little one! I am becoming very enamored of the littles. Your pictures make it very appealing. I'm trying to remember what tour I was on when I saw Lavender Cream Cascades in several gardens. Probably Houston, given it's a Carpenter. Anyway, I remember thinking then how much I had liked it...and had forgotten until your pictures! Haha. Rambunctious Rosie is my kind of gal...big and tall! Kentucky Lucky looks very proud today. I feel your heat...I think Sunday we will get back down to the 80s...sigh. Try to stay cool.

I like all 3 but the one that really caught my eye is 'Belle Isle Lipstick'. I just love pinks and midribs. I also like the soft coloring on 'Autumn Wood' and it's form is very pleasing. Celeste

SdlM repeat bloom performance

For some reason I didn't see this post earlier - strange. Wow, a hundred buds is super. I would say that my SdlM doesn't usually have clusters, seems to be mostly single blooms that I see. That's going to be a feast of roses when all these buds turn into blooms. As for repeat bloom, I've generally had flowers for at least ten months of the year in my mild climate. It could be that your SdlM is just now hitting its stride.

Up Mill Creek may have fewer blooms, but it's still a pretty clump. Joan Derifield is always one of my favorites, and Jamie Dockery and Self Determination are lovely purples. I also like the photo with both of the Whip City cultivars.

I like the Whip Cities, my favorites today. I’ve also had a few blooms that didn’t open correctly this season,gotta think it’s weather related.

We have a big clump of Coral Majority sitting out in front of the house in order to slow down traffic. :-) I noticed while deadheading the other day that the flowers were not opening fully. I think it was a cool night before. I will try to remember to check it after a warm night.

I like the Whip City ones too. Who is the hybridizer?......Earth and All The Stars is neat with that edge. I grew Self Determination because it looked so lovely in your pictures. Unfortunately your pictures and my reality with summer heat did not suite it here. It is a pretty one for you and I do like seeing it out of it's misery.......Maryl

Maryl: Whip City intros are hybridized by Lori James here in the northeast. Isn't always the way that what looks and grows good in one garden may not work in another.

All the Whip City ones are being moved behind other plantings in the front garden bed along the rock wall.

Earth And All Stars is registered to be 33 inches height but I don't think I've gotten that height here since I bought it from the hybridizer Korth a couple of years ago along with several others.

I moved Coral Majority 2 years ago to its current location and it hasn't done well with the openings since the move. It hasn't been cool here but very humid over the past several days with mornings in the low 70's.

We had a very early morning thunderstorm which dumped more rain. Unexpected but glad to get all we can now.
