Shelby has been a favorite of mine for awhile. Smug is high on my list too, loved the photos of it this past season.

Cat Dancer, an oldie but a fairly recent addition here.

Claudine’s Charm will always be in the garden.

Moonlit Masquerade another oldie here that performs well.

Quasar Cutie had first blooms this season.

Some beautiful daylilies are being posted, but I would consider some of them watermarks and not eyes. For example, the very lovely Vintage Wine, Night Moves and Claudine's Charm have watermarks and not eyes. Eyes are darker bands than the petal colors. Watermarks are lighter in color than the petal colors. We do have a category for watermarks coming later.

Debra, I'm confused now. So what is a halo?

Brad - An eyed daylily is one with a dark circle around the throat AND the same color markings on the sepals. A halo is a dark circle around the throat WITHOUT sepal markings of that color. I didn't pay attention to the distinction until I started hybridizing. On my initial post, the only one with a halo rather than an eye is I'm Gonna Love You Through It. Your bee pod seedling has a halo.

Debra

Celeste - For someone who doesn't like eyed daylilies that well, you certainly have a lot of pretty ones! I especially like I Do Voodoo, Oktoberfest and Bob Faulkner.

Brad - Solomon's Robe and Pinhill Claret Symphony caught my eye.

Sherry - Quasar Cutie is very cute!

Debra

Thanks Debra. That clears things up for me. Though I have a number of eyed daylilies, they are not my favorite; however I really dislike halos. I had been vaguely thinking of watermark and halo as the same thing. I really like watermarks a lot.

Well, Houzz does not like me today, the submit button would not even show up, usually meaning I am not logged in, but I am. Let me try this and then will try posting more photos

I really like Smug, Trance, and Shelby, lots more too, but I think I am into spidery UFs at the moment.

Terry Lyninger, probably should have put this in a previous post for patterns

Tikal Maid

I’m with Brad, not understanding the distinction. I’m probably gonna make a mistake or two with this, just sayin! Thanks for the explanation, Debra!

Sherry

Nancy - Thanks for posting yours! I'm always drawn to your Westbourne Easter Egg Hunt. Tikal Maid is very nice too!

Debra

I've been absent for a few days. My computer crashed and it's so much more difficult using my backup computer, which is just a tablet with a keyboard.

We love eyes but in looking through my pictures, most of ours have edges too. Here are a few I found.

I am beginning to love many of Jamie Gossard's small diploid ufs. This is Pixie Dragon.

This is Greywood's Roseberry Sorbet. It hasn't been here long, but it looks like it is a nice plant.

Heavenly Bengal Tiger is not very tall nor is the flower large, but it's a reliable performer. It often blooms very early on leftover scapes from the previous year.

This is one of our intros. It is called Rocky Top.

Ruby Lipstick's eye is never very red in our garden.

That's all for me.

Nancy

Brad, actually a halo is a darker area just above the throat on either sepals and/or petals that is only slightly visible. A band is a darker color on petals only and the eye is a darker color on sepals and petals.

It's sort of hard to keep those terms straight because many hybridizers don't use them correctly.

Hoosier Nan - I wondered what happened to you. I'm sorry to read about your computer crash. Thanks for furthering our information on eyes, halos and bands! I'm always drawn to Heavenly Bengal Tiger.

Debra

Thanks Nancy. I knew there was a term missing: band. It is the band that I really don't like. I can't even say why. Halos are just ok.

Brad

Debra: I too was wondering about all the various patterns and their names. Wish there was an example of them somewhere. Maybe the AHS?..................... Since I mostly grow solids I enjoy seeing other people's patterns whatever category they officially fall into.........Some of my favorites are: Buddy's Black Eye, and, as always, Shelby . Also Cat Dancer, Christmas in Oz, Eyes That See, and Greywood's Roseberry Sorbet along with Bengal Tiger..........Maryl
