Hi Leslie. It must be like 'opening night' feels (only in the day) when we go see what show are DLs are giving us. The only problem I have with morning visitation is that I need to get to work by 7:30 AM. My DH works nights so he gets to see them in all their fully opened beauty. He takes photos for me sometimes, and they are usually still looking pretty good when I get home at 5:15 PM. My Ruby Spider has never spooned if I remember correctly. Siloam Double Classic is one of my top 5 or 10. Thanks for sharing. Jane

Thank you all for looking and commenting.. Weedless beds are the goal, but it is one that I keep aiming for,,,haven't actually made it I am always "freshening my beds as I walk in them but thank you for the encouragement. I will need to mulch again when the season is over and weed along throughout the winter to have any chance at all. Mantis this is the first time I have had good bloom on Johnny Cash, Shake the Mountain has always done very well here. It is one I got from CT daylilies. It is planted close to Barney and they look good when they bloom together. POOis a single plant and very tall this year.Brad,and Nancy, I do occasionally have people go slowly to look at the flowers...and sometimes people will tell me they have worried because they hadn't seen me lately. Sherry it had been over a month without rain. Debra, i is becoming colorful and I like garden shots ao decided to take a few today. thank you all for looking and commenting. kay

Maybe I got sent the wrong plant . I do grow Green Rainbow here but it is planted about an acre away from this plant . Just did a photo comparison and you folks are right the plant shown is Green Rainbow which other than colors matching does not look anythign like Navajo Princess. I have written to the seller to ask about the possibility that my order for NP somehow got sent to someone else and I got their GR by mistake. These things do happen .

Mantis, I don't have that many Bonibrae cultivars. Besides Bonibrae Black Mist I do grow Bonibrae Jack Laundry and I just added Bonibrae "The Freak" . Most of the daylilies under the moniker Bonibrae are out of my price range so I look for them from secondary sellers. Prices on the Bonibrae cultivars on their website remain very high and really out of my price range that I am able to pay for a daylily , unless I only wanted to order and add a single solitary daylily to my gardens for the year. The quality and performance of the daylilies is really quite fantastic though. For example , the cultivar Bonibrae Black Mist sat in water for at least a month and a half this spring . Ground was so saturated the water couldn't dissipate . That poor plant took I don't know how many freeze and thaw cycles and never batted an eye .
