Here are a few from today and some from earlier in the week. There's such a frenzy of photo-taking during peak. Things should slow down some by the weekend.

MIster Mayor ffo - I think I'm going to love this one!

Walk in the Clouds ffo - Thanks Celeste!

Liberty Banner ffo - Celeste, it's red purple here.

Seedling August Frost x Winter's Angel has been blooming for a few days. I loved the flower when it first bloomed last year, but this year I love it for the plant habit. It has four-way branching and at least 24 buds. It started blooming a couple of days earlier than last year, but I would still consider it a late bloomer.

Age of Aquarius - I love the color of this one!

Boundless Beauty - Sherry, this one's another that normally takes three days for the buds to open.

That’s quite a photo of Black Panther, no foliage in sight, how tall are those scapes? Debra, thanks for posting that photo of Boundless Beauty, I see the buds in different stages of opening. The August Frost seedling is lovely, as are all of your seedlings ; ) Sweet Child of Mine, what a great pink!

Sherry - I cropped the photo because there were other blooms and mushies in front of Black Panther. I think the scapes are 44-46 inches tall.

Well folks, for those of you loving that seedling...I'm afraid I can't take credit for it. I won it on the LA last fall. The past couple of blooms which looked like the one pictured above, have been totally different from the first blooms. They were also on a different scape so I'm wondering if it isn't two different seedlings that maybe got planted in the same pot or something. Here's a couple of photos from the first scape that bloomed. What do ya'll think? The first blooms look more like the photo the seller has on the LA. Here they are. As you can see, the edge is very different as is the color. The texture is very different too. I may need to dig this one this fall and separate the fans, don't you think. Jan

Heavenly Starfire does have a very impressive flower and the plant has increased well for me. Starman's Quest has been quite slow to establish here. I've always liked the flower, but this is the first year it has had a decent number of blooms. Lullaby Baby does look delicate, but it's a great plant with lots of blooms. Wolfpack Kid was another that took a couple of years to get going, but once it did it's been fabulous as you can see from the buds in the picture. Pocket Change has always been a consistently good performer and I really like the little white edge on it. Nat--American Freedom does occasionally hang up here, but most of the time it looks great.

Thanks, everyone. It's nice to finally have the season started. Mantis, T&E has gotten less and less sun here as the tree near it has grown taller, so I'm not sure how much more pink it would show with more sun. I did notice that this photo didn't show much of its beautiful polychrome coloration, but it normally does have it. The flower is about 5" (recurved), is nicely branched and a tall one here at about 36". Maryl, that's a great photo and combination with Treasure of the Southwest. Are you planning to replace yours?

Mantis-- glad you found the comments helpful. Avedon, Clarification has been fabulous so far. Great bud count and branching and rebloom too. Enchanting Esmeralda is a great performer for me. No rebloom, but lots of buds so it blooms for a long time. Kay--I love the look of Carrick Wildon and have heard good things about it so I think I'll love it when it settles in. Glad to hear that The Band Played On does well for you. Hope it does well for me once it's established. Marg--I think English Lavender is beautiful and it does have a good bud count, but I thought I'd lost it the first winter. It's been fine since then, but has only increased to 5 fans. Rita--clarification has been fabulous so far. One of my best performers this year and I just got it last year. Enchanting Esmerelda is one of my favorites. Val

I like your Midnight Castle. Your picture makes it look deep purple. Here I'm pretty sure it would end up dark maroon. Nothing really wrong with that, but the purple is appealing. I do have a question about it though. Is it still blooming from early on or is this newish blooms? I ask that because almost all of the deep south daylilies are listed as "EM" and it seems too late for an EM to still be blooming..............Amazing clump shot of Black Panther..........Maryl

Sweet Child of Mine is striking in that clump, as is Black Panther which looks super tall. The August Frost seedling is pretty. Boundless Beauty always looks good.

Maryl - Midnight Castle is a midseason bloomer. It has a couple of buds left. It is the closer to a true purple than most of my other "purples." This purple seedling out of Skin of My Teeth and Midnight Castle is the truest to crayon purple that I've ever seen.

Good grief! What a beautiful seedling! Oh my, I love that one! The Black Panther Clump is gorgeous, of course, as is Sweet Child of Mine, Mr. Mayor is a winner here and the Midnight Castle bloom is lovely, but that Skin of My Teeth Midnight Castle seeding is the absolute winner as far as I'm concerned.

Thank you, Kay! When I posted that same picture before, hardly anyone commented on it except Nancy.

Kate - Did Sweet Child bloom for you this year? Christmas Snow didn't scape, but it looks reallly healthy.

Laura - Glad to read Mister Mayor is a good plant for you. One of my friends on NBA says its the only Davisson she has that doesn't grow well for her.

Mister Mayor is very pretty. I like the polychromey look of Walk in the Clouds. And my favorite are Boundless Beauty and Midnight Castle. The late white seedling is so pretty, and whoa, Midnight Castle's kid is gorgeous!

Debra, yes, Sweet Child has bloomed very well-just so many blooms all over the garden I could not post them all! I am very pleased with it. I am glad the Christmas Snow plant is healthy but sorry it did not scape- mine was lovely again this year!

Nat - Boundless Beauty is pretty and a good performer. I hear it does well in the north. I got mine from Mantis, and he says it grows well in Ohio.

Kate - I'm glad you got blooms on Sweet Child! Who knows, Christmas Snow may scape very late this year.

Once again some really wonderful blooms here . Love the purple seedling! I love the way the white edge around the center splays out like a quasar burst . Midnight Castle is another rich royal purple on my screen ...

I grow Boundless Beauty here ......it does well . I don't ever recall it taking 3 days to open here? I will definitely pay very close attention to it this year to see if that holds true here.

Heather - Thanks for the comments on the purple seedling. Midnight Castle is very close to true purple here. It's a favorite. I just wish it performed closer to its registration stats. Boundless Beauty has always driven me crazy with those partially open buds. I think we tend to pay more attention to the early ones or new ones when they start to bloom.

Thank you, Melle! With your love of the near whites, you might want to add Boundless Beauty at some point.
