And a couple more.

I prefer “hotter” colors. This one is quite large, however.

Calamity Jane. Will flatten out with later blooms.

Willamette Mist again, just because she is so pretty.

And my first scape blast ever. I have read your comments on this event but have never experienced it. Not cool.

I almost ordered Thomas Tew, I have several in that dark eyed look so talked myself out of it. Regretting that, but i will need to get rid of one of those similar, and can't seem to do that either. I have Memory of Morning, but not seen a bloom yet. Almost lost it to crown rot last summer, but the rhizome formed a tiny offshoot. I would be shocked if it blooms this year, but at least it is alive. Very interesting looking flower, but I hope it is not going to be finicky. Bullfrog Kisses looks really good!

Victorian Velvet is gorgeous! Love that color. Thomas Tre is showing out again. I do love Polys and Patsy Carpenter is really delicate and pretty. I do like it. Swedish Girl is one I always love too...it is so pretty. Nice start even with bugs and blasts! And Bullfrog Kisses is a pretty one, isn't it though?

Nancy, I am not sure about Memory of Morning either. I will withhold judgment until after it blooms more. Bloom was small. I love Thomas Tew. I think I have said it will always have a place in my suitcase if I have to move!!

Kay, I should have named the post Blooms, Bugs, and Blasts!! I obviously know very little about scape blasting but two more on that plant may do the same. And yes, Bullfrog Kisses is indeed pretty. I am glad it did not totally wimp out on me!!

Thomas Tew is a beauty and has done very well for you. However, here it was one of only two daylilies that had winter damage. Survived, but not unscathed. I think I like your camera photos better. Some of these look artificially bright and revved.

Yes, Mantis, Thomas Tew has really done well for me. It has just been beautiful since I planted it several years ago. I love the vibrant colors. Sorry yours had the winter damage. It is a Stamile, I think-do those generally do well for you? I did not realize how many Stamile lilies I had until recently when I began attempting to catalog some of my beds. And I do not use a camera-never have on the ones I have posted. All my pics have been phone pics. Just easier for me to carry it around in my garden apron or hop out of the car to snap. I just used the portrait option with these to blur my background weeds!!

Swedish Girl and Thomas Tew are wonderful and my top two here...... I grew Calamity Jane for awhile and it did very well here. It even repeated for me (which is not usual in my garden)............Never had scape blast and hope to maintain that record. Boo on it!..........Maryl

Nice grouping. What daylily scape blasted? I've only seen it, I think, on Rose Masterpiece after we had a very dry period and then had rain over several days.

Julia

I've had many scape blasts over the years. You're lucky this is your first. Lovely lilies - all of them. Thomas Tew, Big Red Wagon and Calamity Jane were my favorites.

Debra

It's hard to narrow these down to favorites. I too typically like "hotter" colors.

Brad

Thanks all. Thomas Tew is just beautiful in my garden. I do love the deep rich color. I don’t think I will move it from that spot! Debra, I thought you had discussed scape blasting. Julia, this was on Fear Not. Other scapes on it are big and flat so I expect them to blast as well. Obviously no drought but too much rain?
