Me too, Royal Girls just blew me away! I have not gotten Royal Girls, thinking I need to cut back on that form/color, but wow. May have to rethink that plant. Lots of wonderful plants you have, but that just took my breath.

Thank youJulia. Oh how I wish I could send you ALL of this heat. Its right at 7PM and its still 97 outside,and I have to get off here awhile and go water ,as some are still in pots,so have to watch them close,and as hot as it is,everything is dry and needs a drink. MARYLRITA. Thank you for your suggestion.I had not thought about that, but you are right and I will try not to forget, too.I can't remember names of each one either,is why I keep a little note pad by my keyboard,and when I see a bloom I want to comment on,I write the name on my notepad,so I don't have to keep back tracking to see 'WHAT WAS THE NAME OF IT?"I remember alot of the names, but,might not be the one I want to comment on.so I appreciate your suggestion. now I have to go outside awhile in that blistering heat and do some watering.

Thanks Randy North of Florida palms has the best deals on Princeps I have seen,that's where I got the 3 I have -one is planted. Seeing them up close might leave you a little more torn between the two. That said,I love Waggies too! Here's the One I have planted- chadec I know exactly what you mean about Aloifolia! Mine snapped(in high winds)2 years ago or it would be 6' right now at least! They root easily so,no worries there-mine is secured to a small post now...probably would have been halved anyway when the "G-house collapsed in the blizzard last winter. Here's a picture(s) of the Cactus cover - Note how tall it is in respect to the railing- and check put what it looked like collapsed under 15"+ of snow! Here is a link that might be useful: Princeps

You really have many pretty ones in this batch. Yazoo Elsie Hinton has such a wonderful shape. In the picture it looks like she's trumpet shaped with soft ruffles all along the edge. Wonderful shot of her..........Lavender Stardust is another sweet one. Everyone that grows it likes it. I may need to add it one day..........Creature of the Night still intriques me. Our wind just beat the heck out of my daylilies yesterday that had tall reedy stems. I need to follow my heart on UF's I guess.........Maryl

Laura, I am just excited to see blooms on most all my spring acquired daylilies this year. With the cooler spring, they seemed slow to start off. Ay least that is what I am blaming it on. We have had drier weather this year, not bad, but a lot of the rain has been all around us, and getting worse. I just don't water much unless it gets bad. Of course I have done better with new plants. 2nd bloom looked better on both FGT and Sweet Isabela today. Nat4b, I was surprised to see SI scape, yours may still try a late scape. I was pleased to see rebloom on Dr Jules. It put it out while others still bloomed, so I did not notice at first. This started blooming just as others finished so I finally realized. Scape is a bit taller, flowers a bit smaller, but so nice to see. You should like SdG, I got it from Laura last fall. I have read it is slow to multiply, but mine went from 2 fans to 4 already. I rather like the look of Coach's Magic Man better at this point, but the flower is larger on SDG. CMM rebloomed, and did not have a splotchy bloom at all.

What a difference rain can make, though it can't make up for the low bud count syndrome this year. Tahiti does look very well budded; some are bucking the trend. Royal is a delicious color, though here it does not like the mid-day sun, typical of its color class.

SUPER thread Kate. My goodness what a load of eye candy.. I always say nothing like "liquid gold" to help the garden. Tahiiti Sweetie is one I would not leave behind in NY. It had to come to WV with me. Wish I had gotten more of the Davisson out but it wasn't to be.

Sherry-I have enjoyed Royal Girls so much the last two years. By no design I planted it next to Mean Green and that combination works for me.

Nancy, I know what you mean by purple-I keep saying no more!!

Julia, all the Davissons I have are superb bloomers. I will be glad to share any with you. I don’t blame you for taking Tahiti Sweetie with you-it is hard to capture all the colors in it.

All three of the Davissons at the top of the post are wonderful, But Royal Girls is the most spectacular of all. I love the look of Rich in Mercy. How has it done for you?. I decided not to get it after Laura told me it was a slow increaser and didn't bloom as much as her other Emmerichs. Creature of the Night is so very dark! Kara Louise looks pretty on rebloom.

Kay, thanks for your comments. Some of these clumps have really been great this year.

Mantis, you are right about the purple fades. A trial one endures with reds and purples!

Debra, Rich in Mercy has bloomed fairly well but it is not a fast multiplier. I do have a nice clump of it and of course you are welcome to it if you want some. It is planted next to Megillah which overwhelms it at times!
