The blooms are starting to pick up

Whale Tails today, I am pleased that the pattern is still there with the heat today.

Rudy's funhouse today

and yesterday. A new plant, seems vigorous.

Aztec Beauty never has many buds and few fans even though I have had it over 10 years I guess. I love the flowers though, the sun is on it so hard to see just how pretty it is

Blue Moon Rising

Westbourne Seafoam Candy actually bloomed a couple of days ago, but I did not have a camera when I saw it. Love the texture of the blooms

Got Bragging Rights last spring, this is its 1st bloom. Big bloom, but as you can see, right on the ground. I will give it a pass this year since we had a horrible summer then a harsh cold spell. Then when I got it, it was supposed to be 1 fan. I received 2 but both had been chopped up badly with few root. It has multiplied nicely though.

Malaysian Marketplace

Glory to his Name

Blue Breasted bee Eater, the heat makes a difference

Violet backed Starling again, looks a little different but I like this

Memory of Morning, I crossed this with whale Tails

No blooms for a while on Womanizer. New last year, I remember being pleased with its performance. I think the 3short scapes are on the newer fans, I hope they will all be like the 2 tall ones next year

Blue Breasted BE and Violet Backed S. look so much better with some heat. The colors on both are pleasing today. I think my favorites of these are Malaysian Marketplace and Glory to His Name.

I like Rudy's Funhouse. Goes well with my Rudy's Sister in form. I see it's a Pat Ball hybrid. ....I tried to grow Aztec Beauty years ago. As you say, beautiful blooms, but mine didn't make it over the winter with my pot system...........All your others looking good too........Maryl

I wish I had enough of all of these to send gift boxes, but most are new arrivals this spring. Diamond Star Halo had another bloom today and what totally amazes me is that both blossoms have not been splotchy, not even a littlen plus it is very sunfast. Thanks for the kind comments. Beachlily, how close in color was my photo to what you saw in Lambertson's garden? Mine is not quite the same color shown in the catalog. Hope everyone has a wonderful bloom season and posts their pictures here. It is hard for me to find time to answer the posts because they are coming in so fast. I will try to catch up soon. I enjoy them so much. Ann

Well, let me see if I can pick a favorite. Love the eye & color on Spacecoast C&C, I like big flowers so like the color & shape on Patsy Carpenter, & Tuscawilla S looks similar so I like that one too. I can see where Best in Class can be stunnning red. I adore Tropical Heat Wave & Big Sur. Let me see, I didn't pick Wild Horses, but that is only because I have it here. Nope can't pick one, if I had to narrow it down, might be Tropical Heat Wave & Big Sur.

Rita, when I saw that first bloom on Cosenza, I just stood and stared. It was such a beautiful color of pink that the camera doesn't quite capture. It had another outstanding bloom today. I love it! Debra, I like both of those seedlings too. The first one is a first year plant and #3 is in its second year and looking so much better this year. Several of you liked seedling #6. This was its first bloom so I am anxious to see if that strange shaped eye emerges in all its blooms. I appreciate all the kind comments. The registered daylilies have had wonderful size and outstanding color this spring. I am sure that is because of enough moisture. By the way, I did not play with the color on Sherry Candy - this is what it looked like. I really like it. Ann

Edward, your blooms and your photographs are always lovely but I think your photograph of Cynthia Louise Valente is one of the prettiest I have seen of any bloom. It looks as if it is perfect. I also like the seedlings. kay

Rudy’s Funhouse looks very tall. It will be striking in a clump. I like the looks of Bragging Rights.

Nancy, what a nice post! I really liked several of them and don't know which is my favorite. I always love Malaysian Marketplace, Memory of Morning is a beauty! I really like Braggin Rights. Blue Breasted Bee Eater is a pretty one.Rudys Funhouse and Whale's Tail are both delightful. Beautiful, Nancy.

David will go bananas over Seafoam Candy. It is an alluring pink, ruffled and folded. I see that Memory of Morning is a Screen Pattern kid. Deep fissures here are forming in the dry ground.

Malaysian Marketplace has always been a favorite of mine. I do think Rudy's funhouse is going to be a nice one, It is pretty tall, around 40". I had admired photos I had seen of it, and finally ordered it last year from Pat. Maryl, Aztec Beauty acts like a delicate evergreen, but it is a dormant. Something else going on with it I guess. I do love the flower on Bragging Rights. I know I have heard that Pearce plants don't get as tall as he states, so I was not expecting 40", but really? Maybe he added a 0 accidentally to the 4"? Hopefully, it will be better next year.
