Oh such beauties everyone!

Julie Newmar, Red Volunteer, and Victoria Garden Star Bright have me drooling!

Mike, such charming ditch lilies.

Orchid Moonchild FFO


Picasso's Intrigue SFO (I think? Could be the third ) looking much better than the first bloom


Iwanna Piranha SFO also looking much better than it's first bloom. I'm loving this one!


Velvet Onyx first double


War Horse FFO a little splotchy


Blueberry Lemonade clump


Glad I took these early bc we just got a downpour! One inch in 10 minutes. 😳😳 Started just before walking out of the grocery store 🙄 and a cereal box and soda can box are soaked and mushy Hit my pinky toe (and maybe the one beside it) on the grocery cart wheel. I don't have a good history with grocery carts. It's been 15 years, and now it's come back to haunt me

FFE on Siloam Ethel Smith

Heidi, Jean Swann is usually not an earlier one here. Someone told me that her mid-lates were confused this year. Hmm.

Mike, I see that John Hawkins is another tet Peppermint Delight kid. Surprising how well those kids do in the North, though Thomas Tew was one of the few injured by the last winter here.

Susan, the dip Marked by Lydia has a grace that Free Wheelin does not have.
Jill, I've had a lot of trouble with Victorian Star Bright. Slow and splotchy, Hope Tonto's Headband looks as good as yours.

FFOE on PURPLE TARANTULA. I have just a short scape with a few buds on this new plant but I think I am going to like this one.



FFOs:
ALPHA AND OMEGA (terrific plant and I moved it by the patio last fall so I can really enjoy it)



ORANGE CLOWN (vigorous plant — I have to try for a clump shot when it is in its glory)



Bonus picture of CHERRY PEACOCK going to town

We are at peak bloom here and it is glorious! I think I'll sit on the patio all day and just drink it in.

Beautiful blooms Jill !
MantisOH Patrick Stamile plants does well in my garden. Coincidentally, I bought Tet Peppermint Delight this spring.
This is the first Snake that I have seen in my garden in all the years that we have been living here.

Smiling Cobra

Crown Of Creation - thanks for this one Ginny.

Catalina


Jolly Red Giant - getting up there, finally.



Awesome performer here.
Sunshine On Clouds

Wispy Rays




Frogs Eye


Created a temporary spot for Lillian's Vapor Trail
She came with two cut scapes last month. She put up four scapes since then. One appears to be aborting. I am extremely happy with what I have seen so far.

Beautiful, Alpha and Omega is on my want list and Mike I am loving that snake of yours wouldn't mind one of them in my garden either

Jill, you don't get away without naming your patio beauties (though I recognize nearly all).

mantisOH said:Jill, you don't get away without naming your patio beauties (though I recognize nearly all).

Oh my! Lots of Davisson "girls" there -- Loud, Royal, and Sultry Girls,
Isabelle Rose, Silver Sword, Addicted to Love, The Food Channel, and Cherry Peacock towering over it all.

This "girl" is in heaven.

WOW WOW WOW everyone I forgot to look for the July blooms and just found it No wonder no one was posting in June anymore I have a ton, just no time to post right now. Hope to catch up in the next couple days.

ALPHA AND OMEGA is stunning! Mike, your Discarded Beauty is much nicer than mine. I think it does not like the near 100 degree temps here.

I can see the angels on Answering Angels
Bright Sunset and Mary Todd are two oldies a young fellow gardener traded me for a couple he liked of mine. The old, simple ones can be a good reminder of what changes have taken place over the last few decades.

Cruise Control
Lavender Hearttrob
Joan Direfield, not sure of the spelling
Medicine Feather, doubling up the first 2 blooms

Two Sues looking better today
Orange Vols

The first daylily to bloom this year is Frosted Vintage Ruffles. This must be a rebloom scape that started last summer, but didn't have a chance to bloom before the cold weather hit. Usually my little ones such as Mini Stella and Penny's Worth are the first to bloom The bloom is pale, but hey, it is a bloom!

Frosted Vintage Ruffles

Susan on was in the nineties yesterday when Discarded Beauty bloomed. It is shaded by the bee balm in all fairness. Bright Sunset is a fav here from Wild. It is in a terrible spot, yet it continues to perform every year.
Beautiful blooms in your garden as always.

Valerie we cross posted. Beautiful first Flower.
