Glad to see you posting. Sorry to hear about the garden damage.

I am sorry to hear you had damage. I gather no real harm from the storm, which is always good news though, and tsin. We got a little much needed rain here yesterday, more thunder and lightning than necessary for amount of rain.

Lots of nice looking daylilies, and several I don't remember seeing. I like the big clump of Highland Dancer, it does look like they are dancing. Also like Who Dey, Love or Else and Linda Sierra.

That's quite a group of daylilies. I always enjoy seeing Teddy Bear's Picnic. Such a unique color. Stumbling Stone is putting on quite the display for you. And one can almost see the Highland Dancers dancing in your photo of it. ................Maryl

MaryL I was lucky I got that pic of Teddy Bears Picnic . It was one that got nailed big time by that dropped limb.

This is the tree . We have been researching tree removal services but the storm came before we had made up our minds . It did half the job for us.

Pictures of the limb that dropped

Heather, I am so sorry you had such damage. I liked your Highland Dancer clump and that first seedling is really lovely.

Lots to show here and I bet you had tons more! I like the clumps-they just always shine more in a group. Stumbling Stone and Highland Dancer really stand out. Your seedlings look good too. Is the throat of Cherokee Patterns always that green?!!

Oh sorry about the tree damage. Very nice group! I like the clump of Highland Dancer, and how Wild Horses look with a similar shaped flower. Who Dey is very pretty. Beautiful red seedlings.

Heather, sorry about the tree limb falling on your daylilies. Tree removal is so expensive. Sometimes there are handymen who will do it at their regular cost per hour which is MUCH less than the standard fees of the professionals. There are a couple of those around here who will do that for much less, but the tree needs to have a way to fall to not damage a home in order for them to be willing.

Lots of great pictures of the daylilies. Mysterious Ways and Miss Piggy are my picks. Your pictures have a different "look" about them than most peoples. I can't describe how. What kind of camera do you use?

Hi Brad, yes tree removal companies are very expensive and that was part of the reason the tree is still standing . We were trying to sort out which company to use . All we really need is for them to take the tree tops off , we can deal with the rest ourselves but hard to find a company that will agree to that for a decent price . We had 2 other approximately 80 to 90 foot trees come down the same day . They are dead ash trees thanks to the Emerald Ash Borer .however the other 2 trees are at the far end of the property . Both came down during the store and broke right at the base of the trees . Fortunately they didn't do any damage . One just missed an old heritage apple tree and the other came down on a patch of hawthorn so no great loss there . Both were about 3 or 4 feet in circumference at the base and snapped off as if they were twigs . That is how violent the storm was. Sp I am guessing we are lucky that only part of the tree in the back yard came down.

As for my pictures I am not sure exactly what you are seeing in my pictures. I take them with my Iphone and download to my computer to be able to post here.

Lilykate , Cherokee Patterns was only added here last season , so this was a FFO so I am unable to say whether this is the normal color of the throat or not. I will check on the next few blooms and let you know if they are the same brilliant green throat.
