Julia asked for garden shots, so I'm going to start out with one.

Part of the front garden with Sweet Prairie Wind front and center.

Here's a closeup of the Sweet Prairie Wind clump.

Untamed Heart, one of my intros

I was amazed at how many blooms were on my Cowgirl Spurs line-outs today.

Sweet Prairie Wind is such a gorgeous color. Love the big clumps of Untamed Heart and Cowgirl Spurs. I got Sam Abell last year, but so far it just is not looking as good as yours. It might need a different spot, it is next to Remonds me of Fireworks that is towering over it. Buddy's Victoria Jade is gorgeous there!

Nancy - Sweet Prairie Wind was looking much more red than usual. It's usually a mulberry color. Sam Abell always looks good here, so yours may need a different spot. Most of the Buddy's Victoria Jade clumps was covered up by a butterfly bush. That photo is about a third of the clump.

Thank you so much! What lovely compliments. I love the daylilies ad keep running out of room and extending my garden slightly. Chris you will make me blush. Thank you kindly, Jason. Rita, Do you think DH would notice if I planted a row alongside the rose garden extension? It may happen. And he'll notice and gripe for a little while, but I am pretty sure that is in the near future. I am needing to move a few that are not in a good place, so that is what would happen. kay

I guess I am very fussy, but I am the same way about my roses. Some insect damage and chewed leaves I don't even notice but fungus like blackspot in the roses and fertilizer burn on my daylilies really bothers me. I almost didn't even take the picture because of the browned leaves but just could not ignore all those blooms. Then I debated with myself again before posting as those brown leaves really bother me. But in the end, the flowers really looked great and PRETTY GAUDY is a very favorite of mine.

I'm not a yellow fan either but Silaom Amazing Grace is one of my faves as well. Nice shade of yellow, usually a lot of green, perfect blooms with thick substance. Sherry, I've had Pink Lantis for years. It doesn't exist in the daylily data base or anywhere else I can search. A friend of mine picked it up at a Philly area daylily show. Must be unregistered but it is a great performer year after year.

I have Brave World planted beside Arkansas Post, I think they really look good together. Neither has been a great bloomer, but both really did well this year. I really like the color of Brave world, otherwise it would be out of here, such pitiful bud counts normally. On the plus side, no splotchiness & always open bright & early.

Untamed Heart has such nice clear blooms. I see you threw in a pic of Mexican Magic.

Mantis and Brad - Untamed Heart has very clean blooms most of the time. Sometimes after an overnight rain, it has a few imperfections on the sepals. Thanks for commenting on it!

Heather - Sorry I left the name off that one. It's Bill Maryott's Mexican Magic. I got it in a trade with Julia. Thanks, Julia!

Mantis - I guess you were naming Mexican Magic for me.

First I always love garden shots and yours is terrific. So much color, forms and height. I hope you do more of those. Not a bad dayily in all the photos. Cowgirl Spurs and Untamed Heart caught my eye. You must be so thrilled with how well your intros are doing. Glad Mexican Magic is doing okay for you.

I‘m glad you posted that garden shot! So pretty! My favorites are Cowgirl Spurs (what a performance!), Untamed Heart and Sweet Prairie Wind ( gorgeous color).

Julia and Sherry - I'm glad you like the garden shot. I have so many daylilies and seedlings that I don't have time to deadhead entire beds. So I probably won't do too many garden shots. I'll try to get a few more in the next week or so. I am thrilled my intros are blooming so well this year. Cowgirl Spurs barely bloomed at all last year after the fall line-out. So I was happy to see all those buds and double scaping this Spring.

This week is busy because I have so many annual medical appointments. I just got the results of yesterday's mammogram, and it was clear. So I'm two years cancer free now!
