I like Hard Times, Lemon Shards and Peppy. That Lily though took me by surprise. At a glance I couldn't quite figure out why that "daylily" looked so different. For one thing the base color really is white. Do you know the name of the Lillium?..........Maryl

I am sorry, Maryl. I may be able to look through my huge folder and find it. I put all the garden buys in it. I have had it at least seven ot eight years. The placement just happened to be nice for the other plants behing it in the puppy garden, Thank you for looking and commenting.

Thank you all so much for the comments. Especially thank you for the comments on the photography. I am learning this skill/art, but have a long way to go. (Oh the shots I have to redo for a foot or shadow in the picture.) Connie, hes like that bunny...keeps going etc... Thanks Jean and Jan, what is the number of that PO seedling? I've lost that info, I think. It was the first one I got, and by far the most bodacious bloomer. Debra, If Clown Parade reblooms it would be a wonder. The first bloom was a single, and it has bloomed every day since with no fewer than 3 blooms a day. It is a nice tall one too, good for the back of the bed, because you can't miss the show it puts on. It generally has from 6 to 8 buds. It has very much outperformed it's predicted bloom. I love seeing all of your pictures. They are such an inspiration. kay

I like 1,3,4,5. I love the color of 1 & 3. #3 has everything I like, nice color, slight ruffling, white pencil line edge and green throat. I don't like the wide eye zones, the one here seems to just fit the daylily. Marg

Kate, I posted a comment with a picture of your plant that I will send you,and they held the comment, I suppose because the word Black is part of the name. Spatter really does disappear, doesn't she, Debra? And Nancy, you know how much I am drawn to these forms though I used to not like them at all. I don't know, Kate. A lot of times when one has a great year, the next year is zilch. Some go on and on and Pink Tarantula, luckily seems to be that way. Thank you all for looking and commenting. kay

Thank y'all for looking and commenting. Sherry, it is hard to be as enthusiastic in the heat and humidity which dampens the enjoyment of the long season. When you are have to strip to the skin after 20 minutes outside because of the perspiration, it takes away from going out and drooling over the blooms as my buddy Kate says. Names are a fairly favorite thing to me too, Brad and Maryl. I have bought more than one plant because the name tickled me (My Chihuahua Bites and Hotter Than The Fourth of July) for instance. Debra, I had only seven blooming today and at this point only four more with scapes that haven't started blooming yet; at least, only four I have seen. Yes, and Celeste's Mico had three nice ones again today. It has been a champion on re-bloom. I have only two Whip City plants and they both rebloomed and I do like that. Another of my Ridder's Taming the Tiger is going to, but Peppy has been a joy and finished up again yesterday. kay

Garden Butterfly caught my eye today. I thought RubY Spider Was showing off a bit today. Kay, how is your puppy doing, she’s got to be a year old by now?

Lemon Shards is growing on me. I like it better each time I see it! Garden Butterfly does look like a butterfly, and Peppy is a lively pink. But I think my favorite today is Ruby Spider.

Garden Butterfly is my favorite, but, like usual, lots of pretty ones. Laura Harwood had its first bloom here this morning, a bit of canoeing, but I don't really mind that too much.Your clumps looks so good, especially Indian Ripple.

I too like Garden Butterfly for the color and form. Indian Ripple is pretty in a clump.

Love the clump shots! Your Ruby Spider is still going? Both clumps of mine bloomed our last week! I am still liking Peppy. And Lemon Shards is so striking. Garden Butterfly looks it is taking wing! Lots of lovelies on here!!

Thank you all for looking and commenting. Yes, Sherry she is four years old now and throughly rotten. She has leaned to make an approximation to "I love you"and that it gets her treats although she has to roll over twice to get it.

Ruby Spider is doing very well this year and Kate, it is only a little more than halfway through blooming. I am throughly en3joying Garden Butterfly this first year. Debra, Lemon shards is reliable to pump out one or two perfect blooms after another. I really am liking it.

Nancy, Laura always canoes the first two or three here. Indian Ripple usually has a pretty good clump, Julia. thank you. That was a very lucky shot of Garden Butterfly since it did look like a butterfly, didn't it.

Kay,

I do like GARDEN BUTTERFLY. Does RAINBOW MAKER always look that pale? There was a time I thought about getting it, but it slipped my mind. I thought that there might be some interesting genetics to play with, but if it is this pale, maybe not.
