Love the joke Sherry!

PARADISE BAR AND GRILL: Relatively new to me, but I love the color. It is tall and well budded. No splotching.

PARTY PINAFORE: This is a great front of the border diploid.

PASSING FANCY: This one moving up the ranks as being one of my favorite Bud Bennett intros.

PINEWOOD HOLY KISS: Also a relatively new one that has potential. It is a striking bloom. Can't really talk about its performace as it was only planted in the fall of 2021.

PRAIRIE PINK LACE: Never fails to open properly, Many blooms. A favorite of mine during the early season.

That is all from me.

David

You make the day start off so fun and just nice, Sherry! I love your puns, and Pizza Crust is gorgeous, I always admire it. Passing Fancy is a gorgeous color, and that Pinewood is calling my name. I have never had any of the Pinewood daylilies, but I have a couple on my wish list. Good to know this one is a good one. I don't seem to see many people with them.

This picture was taken too early in the morning of Pilgrim on Earth, not fully opened. You really can't tell that it has a bit of blue in it, but it has been a good plant. I had never heard of it til I got it from Celeste. I cleared out a shrub last fall that was imposing on it so it may do even better now.

I like Pleasing to the Eye, one of the bluest eyes in my garden but never seems to come off so in pictures. Grows pretty well and can bloom well, although not so much last year with the drought. It does bloom out fast so lasts less than a month, but puts on a show most of that time.

I have had Palace Garden Beauty a long time. Respectable bloom count usually, the clump is so large it puts on a nice show though and blooms always seem to look good.

Love that joke, Sherry. Pretty daylilies you have there: I especially like Pizza Crust. Maryl, that is one gorgeous colored daylily.

Davis, as always, you have some stunners; It is hard to choose a favorite, but I think that
Pinewood Holy Kiss and Prairie Pink Lace would be my picks.

It was also hard to choose just five "P" daylilies Sherry.

Pea Green With Envy:

Pink Tarantula

Philistine Champion

Please Say Yes

Pink Aloha It would be crushed against the birdhouse pole! this one blooms and then reblooms freely

kay

Sherry, I Myna known you'd do a bird pun! Peach Pizazz is very pretty.

Maryl, Wow that is a great color on Paul Voth even if the picture doesn't show all! Wonderful.

David, Prairie Pink Lace is my favorite of yours.

Nancy, I like Pilgrim on Earth.

Kay, Please say Yes is a nice color.

Primal Scream. A few years ago it would not have been on the good performing list. It was 2 plants forever, mediocre bud count. I pulled it up, put in fresh soil and it took off with great increase, better budded and finally great shows.

Priscilla's Rainbow. You can't really see it in the pictures, but the eye is filled with colors. It is one of my longest bloomers every year, large flat flowrrs.

Purple Riot, always a huge number of blooms per scape and rather late as well.

Prismatic. As long as I don't thin it, it does extemely well.

Peacock Maiden. Has really taken off since I thinned it a couple of years ago.

Brad

Lots of pleasing p's. Making me investigate further were Pizza Crust, Peace on Earth, Pink Flamingo (the name must be different), Purple Riot, and Paul Voth.

Pleasing to the Eye (Korth) is indeed so. Older Korths are often not well distributed.

Pink Aloha can be so beautiful, but here, short and not so vigorous or consistent. Passing Fancy has been slow here. Prairie Pink Lace looks even better in David's NGA photo--and I like the earlier ones. How vigorous?

Pink Panther Paws is nice.

Picture in Picture has modest bud count, though good height. It is a not-so-vigorous Stamile, but can throw some wonderful flowers.

Psycho Circus is colorful, but don't expect the heavy substance of a tetraploid.

Party Pants immediately draws visitors' eyes.

Plumcake Patty is an inexpensive early-blooming Davisson. It is still in her catalog.

Sherry, I love your pun today. And Brad, good follow-up to it.

Lots of pretty P's. My favorites are Psycho Circus (planted it last year), Pink Aloha, Pinewood Holy Kiss, Pleasing to the Eye, and Pizza Crust.

I don't have any Q's, but here are my P's.

We planted Paradise Road a couple of years ago. It took its time to get established, but it was wonderful last season. It's a late bloomer. Our June was scorching hot (and dry), but by the time the end of July rolled around, the weather had moderated and our late bloomers put on quite a show. I look forward to seeing some seedlings from this one in 2024.

Phil Warbasse hasn't been in the garden very long, but so far it has impressed us. The flower is smaller than that of Rose F. Kennedy, but the scapes were much taller. Phil and Rose are half siblings, both from Emerald Starburst.

Pink Stripes is one of two striped daylilies in the garden. I really like it. Every flower is a little different.

That's all for me.

Nancy

I can't believe I missed one of my favorites P's and that's the same one as Nan. Paradise Road is a winner here too. Even in a pot it is one of my taller ones, lots of blooms, stout scapes and withstands our high heat.

Paradise Road, full sun, 99 degrees, 2:30 PM:

Maryl

Want to comment on a few that I really liked. David: I always like Party Pinafore. One of those if I had room daylilies for me. The other one that was so tempting (and I don't need temptation) was Prairie Pink Lace. The mauve lavender color reminds me of The Sweetest Name I know. Unfortunately it's a sev, and I'm trying to stay away from them........Kate: So happy to see Pink Aloha in a home it obviously likes. I lost mine 3 times before I finally conceded defeat. It can be dynamite............Mantis: Picture in Picture is pretty. Stamile's I've tried in the past usually don't have the petal substance to withstand our heat. Ironic considering where they were bred. Still I'm always open to them as they can be so lovely when it suites them............Maryl

Thank you, Maryl. It is always disappointing when one we want doesn't like our garden. Actually, It was good that you addressed your comment to Kate since she sent mine to me, and it has done well. It blooms here and then late in the season it goes throngh a very good rebloom. It is a pretty one.

kay

I‘m adding another photo of Pizza Crust for Mantis. I see a touch of pink on the petals that doesnt always photograph well. This photo is from 2021.

Sherry

Kay: I'm sorry for letting my fingers think instead of my head. I'm down with a cold, so the two aren't connected as well as they ought to be. Your Pink Aloha knows who loves it though if not my fingers........Good job........Maryl

I really don't think I can post just 5, when P AND Q are together. But I think I may be the only one with a Q. And I have so many P's that are good performers. Pink Aloha didn't make the cut because she faded so badly in the high heat. Promises Kept, Pistil Whipped and Purple Passion's Promise also performed better than many other letters that I've posted. I would recommend all three of those.

Palace Garden Beauty usually performs very well and reblooms. I've had it for a long time, and I haven't bought anything in the lavender range since that is as good a color.

Pink Aloha often has bud counts of 20, but not last year. It is multiplying well now that it gets grub killer. Last year was the first ever it did not rebloom.

Princess Diary made a nice clump show for about three weeks. It's another that usually reblooms, but did not last year.

A single bloom

The Princess Diary clump

Porterhouse was one of the best performers in my front garden. It's a short daylily with a large bloom.

Pretty Desirable had fewer buds than in past years, but it still performed better than 90 percent of my other daylilies last year. This is one that normally reblooms but didn't last year.

Queen of Narnia got attacked pretty bad by grubs three years ago, but it seems to be bouncing back.

Debra

Debra, when I visited Dick a few years ago, his Pretty Desirable had something like 30 buds per scape. It was amazing.

Mantis, I like Plumcake Patty. Very pretty. Purple Riot usually has 20+ buds. It likes a little shade in the afternoon like many dark colors. Sadly it doesn't increase very fast. I've had about five scapes for many many years. They are not crowded together, either.

Brad

Brad - When I first got Pretty Desirable, it was in a good sun spot and regularly had between 25-30 buds per scape and rebloomed Then my neighbor planted a tree not far from that fence, and now it gets far less sun than it likes. I don't think it's rebloomed for at least five years because of the lack of sun. I think Dick got Pretty Desirable from me. We did a trade years ago, and I think that was one of the ones I sent him.

Debra

Lots of pretty Ps here! i had to narrow mine down as well. I have a Q but it did not bloom as well this past season so gave up its spot for another P.

Prairie Blue Eyes-not quite this purple in color but definitely this prolific

Pick Up Lines

Pink Plastic Flamingos

Pointed Perfection-very distinctive-multiplies well and rebloomed twice this year

Prickly Sensation-another good bloomer and good rebloomer

Pink Aloha and Pink Jeans along with Prairie Spirit made the runner up list

Pointed Perfection is indeed distinctive, and it's blooming the way Maryott intends, which usually doesn't occur in my area, where those round ruffled evergreen blooms often hang up.

Pizza Crust definitely shows more of its shading in the 2021 pic. Loaded with buds. Princess Diary is a beauty. Does it multiply well and achieve 30 inches height? Its parentage suggests that it might be hardier farther north, but Debra's pics are about the only ones in NGA.

Some more of these p's have to be noted.

Papaya Gumdrop, not a tall plant, but an unusual shading.

Purdy Rich --nice edge for the north

Penguin's Prom --wonderfully clear bitone

Someone has to include Purple Tarantula. Scapes are quite sturdy.

Kate,
Prairie Blue Eyes is awfully pretty and I do like Pointed Perfection.

Debra Queen of Narnia is a lovely delicate yellow and Porterhouse is my kind of bloom.

Nancy, Phil Warbasse is a looker!

Mantis, both Psycho Circus and Party Pants are real attention grabbers, and Pink Panther Paws is lovely.

Brad, Primal Scream and Purple Riot look really good.

Nancy, I can see why you like Pleasing to The Eye because is is a winner.

I was just looking back through the postings and wanteed to comment.

kay

Here are a few more images of PRAIRIE PINK LACE. I would say that it is a moderate increaser. Blooms over a long period of time. I know I have dug into it twice in the five years that I have had it, It is one that I prefer not to dig into as I have been using it to hybridize with. Maybe I should separate out a double fan for hybridizing purposes and divide the other to sell? Seems like extra work that I don't prefer to do, but I just might.

David

Kate, Your PBE looks great. Mine usually does well too. I guess I didn't get a picture this past year. Mantis, Penguin's Prom is indeed a great color.

Brad

My favorites on this thread are Pink Tarantula, Pink Panther Paws, Pick Up Lines and Pizza Crust (the second photo).

Mantis - Princess Diary is an OK multiplier. It's never been 30 inches tall for me. It ranges from 26-29 here (depends on how much of the roots get eaten by grubs). I have it planted in a sheltered area close to the house, so I don't know how hardy it would be for you. Your photo of Plumcake Patty is so much prettier than Judy's photo. I've always thought it had an odd shape in her pic, but it looks so lovely in yours.

Debra

In regard to Plumcake Patty, Judy does say that it was much admired by visitors.

These are too good not to be mentioned.

Planet Claire is a big Hanson yellow with a lot of flair.

Purple Cheetah. Surely some others grow this one, which seems very reliable

Purify My Heart was very good the past season.

Playing with Crayons has great color and seems vigorous.

I concur with Kay on Please Say Yes. Occasionally, a slightly splotchy bloom. Registered as a bicolor, which is evident in this picture. Rock solid plant.

I'm late to the party but wanted to share mine (of which some have already been shown):

PRINCESS SYNDROME, healthy & hardy, fertile both ways

PLANET CLAIRE, I don't grow many yellows but this one is my favorite. Lots of blooms, nice presentation and a husky plant. Apparently I didn't take it's photo this year but Mantis' photo portrays it nicely.

PINK BRAID, always blooms it's heart out. Flowers are always perfect on a hardy, carefree plant

PINK PRINCESS SLIPPERS, tall, with large blooms and lots of them. The staggered look of the blooms is only because the plant is in a terraced garden

PINHILL TALL GODDESS, lives up to it's name.

PLUMCAKE PATTY, agree with Mantis on this one. It's excellent!

Celeste, I find PRINCESS SYNDROME quite beautiful!! I also like the color, form and size of Pink Princess Slippers.

Brad

Princess Syndrome and Pink Braid both caught my attention.
