The old but reliable Orange Velvet

Monster (yellow) with Passion for Red

Rim of Fire

Forgive the blurry photo-hubby took with his cell phone through a window. My nemesis returned to finish the job..,this is my back yard

Wow on Blue Swallowtail! I bought that one this Spring, but it doesn't look like it's going to scape for me. Lacey Lavender is my other favorite. So pretty! Winter Romance and Silky Twilight also held my eyes for a long time. My least favorite photo is of your nemesis. Bah Humbug! Did it eat more daylilies?

Debra, Blue Swallowtail is short and blooms are small and I usually walk by it without really noticing it but this morning I could see the blue from several feet away!

The deer had already eaten every bud in the back yard. That picture was two days ago. This morning I surprised it in my roadside bed which I had sprayed-guess it had worn off. This is what I interrupted-it got half of the bloom on one of this one and all the buds on two adjoining ones…ugh..more spraying

I've wondered about Ashwood Inferno Kate. Appreciate the nod on colorfastness......This is a real hard post to pick a favorite from. I like the first one, Silkey Twilight. Not just that beautiful pastel lavender color, but the crinkled edges with white line. Too bad about the splotchy problem...........Your Red and Yellow combo is striking, and I'll have to look up Total Opulence when I get a moment......That's enough for now, but you really have a nice bloom fest going on............Maryl

I saw online Ashwood Inferno when I was looking for orange daylilies. Glad you posted so I see it in someones garden. No Boys Allowed looks wonderful with the color and form. Blue Swallowtail has a lovely pattern. Nice photo of it.Winter Romance is beautiful and also the whitish daylily the deer was after. What is that daylily name?

Hope the deer will finally give up on dining on your plants.

Maryl, in full disclosure Ashwood Inferno photo was taken on day of 94 degrees and not 104!! It is now through blooming so I won’t be able to test it on furnace days!!! :)

Julia, I think the lawn mower driven by an unnamed petson who resides with me chopped up that tag on that lily. I was sure I could find it on my mapping notebooks but apparently it is one I have moved and failed to record because....it had a tag!!!! I am still on the search for it!

Maryl, I hope you check back in on this thread. I wanted to show you a photo of Total Opulence after a full day. It is a Maryott but has performed much better than most. It is planted next to Spice Bomb, another orange Maryott but has much better plant habit. Here it is at mid afternoon after a hot, humid day. It does receive partial shade the rest of the day as you can tell from the shadows.
