Brad,

I really like Art Gallery Expressionism, but Lambertson intros are iffy in my area. I actually have another one of his marked to leave the garden this year. BELLE ISLE SENTRY and of course JOAN DERIFIELD look great. I know I have done the same thing in assisting certain blooms to open, to only have the petal crack. Thanks for sharing.

Beth, I have been so delighted and educated with all these posts. I love the evolution of your wonderfully charming home! You are an amazing woman! I share several of the decorating dilemmas you've mentioned. My "living room" is about 2' more narrow and 2' shorter than your area. I'm learning a lot from your post. The repurposed gun cabinet idea is absolute genius. Please share a photo when you've installed the shelves and contents. Regarding the non-glare glass for your larger artwork. The price of non-glare glass has become simply ridiculous. I have an entire hallway lined with (Gasp!) a family gallery wall. It includes photos from more than 100 years ago to this year's school pics of the great-nephew. Color, colorized, sepia toned, black and white, all mixed together and mostly in their original mismatched frames. That just about breaks all the rules, but I love my wall. Several of the older photos - Mom's 1954 graduation photo; MIL's 1952 wedding photo, etc. - had plain glass. I can't tolerate the glare either. I made a note in my iPod of all the frame sizes that needed replacement non-glare glass. Every time I'm at a thrift shop or yard sale I check out the "frames" area. You can often find large pictures that may be in horrid frames, but they will have non-glare glass! I buy the frame, take out the glass, and toss the rest. I found one very large print of ballet slippers framed with non-glare that was big enough to cut down into several pieces. It made one 8x10 and three 5x7 pieces of non-glare glass for my wall, all for $1. With their permission, I took the glass out at the shop, tossed the faded print, and re-donated the empty frame back to them.

bella rosa.....I purchased Claudine's Charm back in 2015 from Blueridge daylilies off the lily auction but I'm not sure if he still sells on there. Like so many of you, I fell hard for this daylily when I saw it for the first time! It has lived up to the hype for me. It is every bit as beautiful in person and a great plant in my garden in just 2 years time. If I ever had to relocate and could only take 5 daylilies with me, Claudine would go with me. NancyG.....I fell for Nancy Britz when I visited Harmon Hill daylilies a couple years ago because of the green eye that was very visible even on a sweltering 93 degree day. It isn't a huge bloom, though. My photo is deceiving. Also, to others who asked about it, it is certainly whiter in my garden than I saw at Harmon's and also whiter than photos I've seen. It is pure white here (to match the mildew on the phlox behind it from all the rain we've had....lol). Not sure why mine is so white, just like I'm not sure why my purples are so purple, or why my pinks are so pink. Soil? Mountain conditions? Cool temps? I can't guarantee it will be as white elsewhere but if I could send you all mine I surely would! Thanks for looking everyone!

noid

Webster's Pink Wonder

FFlying Dragon poly

Seedling from 2019. 16 buds, up from 10 last year. Tall, holds up to the weather.

Sibling to the seedling the other day, Indian giver x Siloam Amazing Grace. Only 2 buds. It has a long way to go.

Seedling A. This year it has been hard to tell A and B apart. A is brighter and has the halo.

I'm caught up on posting. I've seen a few of yours, need to look at more later.

Who can keep up with photographing the flowers when they come on so fast and furiously? Art Gallery Expressionism is so lovely and my favorite today. Castle Pinkney, the yellow NOID clump and the Prismatic clump were my other favorites. It looks like Kate's Smile is a winner for everyone who added it.

I really like Art Gallery Expressionism. Prismatic looks fantastic too. So far my Tuscawilla Tigress has not been right thisyear, flowers not as big or as bright

Brad: You know I like that orange seedling. It's just the deep orange color I favor...........Art Gallery Expressions looks great and I always like the color on Bali Watercolor.......Your yellow is sure blooming to beat the band. Is it small flowered? Could it be Happy Returns?............Maryl

My goodness! When you catch up, you really really catch up!! There are way too many pretties here to try to name favorites-Castle Pinkney continues to look good-I always liked the color of Strutter’s Ball-Art Gallery Expressionism looks great in that clump. And I am so glad my garden yellow has performed so well although not surprised-whatever it is, it seems to be an exceptional plant. Wonderful post of lots of color!

Thanks everyone. Maryl, no it isn't Happy Returns. It's more of a gold. And it has to be older than the year 1967 or so, as I was about 12 when I bought it.

Very nice, Brad. I like Rob Cobb and Webster's Pink wonder...Mine is lighter possibly due to the heat, and I really like seedling 'A" That is a terrific color! And Kate's smile is showing out for you. Very nice.

Nice group Brad. I like your pic of Tuscawilla Tigress. Nice and bright. We finally got a storm last night and another predicted for this afternoon. Need much more rain to get back to "normal".
