Hurray, you posted that lovely seedling again! Let’s see what I can come up with for the Fourth.
I’m cheating a bit, nothing close to blue daylily yet, So balloon flowers.

That's a great red, white and blue set. I love balloon flowers and have them growing in several spots.

Here's are some more of my red, white, and blue

Debra, I didn't post Cerulean Warbler, although Kathy did...that was Palace Garden Beauty which has absolutely outdone itself this year. that was another rebloom scape. Your Asian Fairy Bluebird is has determined that it will probably be my next one of Luddy's rather than Hyacinth Macaw. This was a good thread! kay

The lavender roses on the LHS in the 1st picture are (from nearest to farthest) Barbara Streisand, Purple Passion, Rose de Rescht, Intrigue, and the one right next to the pillar is pink Reine Victoria, with a couple of Black Bacarra nodding in from the extreme left. On the other side of the path the roses (Veteran's Honor is one) were devastated by rabbits, they are just now recovering. I had to put up hardware cloth on the gates to protect them. The Endless Summer Hydrangea is wonderful and I can't recommend it enough, and it is perfect for those spots that are a little too shady for roses. YIKES! Water moccasins. I guess I can forgo the acidic soil for a snake free area. We have rattlesnakes in California but not in this particular area, not rocky enough. Lots and lots of lizards instead, and all they do is eat bugs. Here's poor Evelyn, she got blasted by our recent 92F/50MPH wind/7% humidity weather just as she was about to start her flush, she looks bad, oh well...you can see some of the hardware cloth I put up to protect some nearly eaten-to-the-ground roses there on the RHS.

Debra: Hadn't even thought about SF being a bud builder (or any other daylily for that matter). I try and tidy up spent scapes quickly, so the only daylily I've known to be a bud builder was Smoky Mountain Autumn which was hidden back in amongst other daylilies and usually missed my tidying efforts. Glad you pointed that out......Ed: That is a very pretty white. Nice form......Maryl

Here are mini flags in the front bed with the coleus. The 4th of July parade I normally do with the Mustang club was canceled, no surprise, so that’s a little sad. I really look forward to it every year. We are done super early by 10:30. DH is grilling now before it gets to the predicted high of 94. I did 8:30 Zumba step aerobics on the deck, and it was pretty hot already. We have an industrial fan we can use on the deck. It also helps keep the mosquitoes away.

David - The Tribble With Blue is a great choice! I have that one, and it's been an incredible performer this season.

Debra - It exploded from last year. I had 5 fans to now over 10 and it is loaded with scapes. Sometimes, they take a couple years to settle in.

I'm celebrating the 4th of July with MY FIRST SEEDLING BLOOMING EVER!! She opened up bright and early and I was out in my nightgown taking pics. I wanted a green-eyed baby who is tall and lovely and she is everything I hoped for. Her stats are good already. She is a one year old seedling. I have tons more to come so will post the worthy ones as the season goes.

Celeste - Your seedling is gorgeous! Congrats on a great first seedling! The delphinium and clematis are both so pretty!

Nat - I envy you with those gigantic clumps of Arctic Lace and Ruby Spider. They are spectacular! The grubs almost ate my Arctic Lace clump to death. I have it growing in a pot now, and am looking for a sunny grub-free place to replant it.

Thanks, Debra! Arctic is normal size clump, Ruby is indeed gigantic )) I hope you can find a good place for your AL.

Love your pics. Especially the first red - Velvet Throne. I don't have a red with a light border (yet).

Sherry, isn't Ruby Spider great?

OMG, Celeste, your first ever is a stunner!! Way to go!

That's a beautiful grouping of red, white, and blue! Is the white alyssum?

Debra
Maryl (Okla. Zone 7a)

No Debra. Alyssum hates our heat. That is Euphorbia 'Diamond Snow'. Many Euphorbia's can't take heat AND humidity. This one can . A wonderful plant that's an annual here.......Maryl

Heavenly United We Stand

American freedom looked pretty white here, but I thought the name goes well

Freedom's Triumph has sort of a blue eye, maybe reaching.

Celeste, what a great seedling you got 1st time out!
