Karin, I love your daylilies and your dog! Is Mari an Australian Cattle dog???

I have Victorian Garden Starbright, too, and I love it. It increases really quickly and is covered with blooms every year, even this year. It doesn't look like drought has affected your plants all that much - I see green foliage. A lot of mine have beige foliage, some are blooming with the beige foliage, and some have sent up dead bloom scapes. I've been telling people not to come look at my poor garden this year!

Garden helper Mari is my pick of this lot.

Victorian Garden Star Bright, Built To Last, and Aeon Flux tied for second.

Stephanie, don't know if you have thought about voice recognition software? I have carpal tunnel syndrome in both hands and used it extensively during retraining. That was in the late '90s and the software has improved tremendously since then.

Hello to all from hot and very humid NH. If I could look one quarter as good as the daylily blooms outside I'd be doing pretty well I'm not fit to be seen in a store right now as I've just come in from doing some weeding and have a shirt on that gives me a great deal of ventilation. Hubby even mentioned that he hoped I would not be going out in public with this particular shirt on and I assured him that I would then just have to stay home and continue to work in the gardens

Lisa, Mari is a Cardigan Welsh corgi. People are not too familiar with them, especially the blue merle. She is one year old now and it such a great dog. I enjoy her so much! Here's a couple more pics of her, the first was the first day we brought her home at 8 weeks and the other is current. Lucky for me she has no interest in eating any plants and stays out of the garden pretty much. I think she knows that it's my domain and she is content to watch as long as I stop and play with her from time to time. You should see what she can do with a ball If she was a flower she would definately be my all time favorite!





Victorian Garden Star Bright will always be in my garden. I couldn't agree with you more as to how it increases and puts out blooms. It also has great substance and looks as good at the end of the day as it did in the beginning.

You are correct, I do have green foliage and I also have a lot of brown foliage as I only have watered once this summer (last week) when some daylily friends wanted to come and see my gardens, weeds and all. We're in the process of selling our house so that's taken priority over everything.

Stay cool!
Karin

to ATP Karin, I'm sure you will love it here!!

You have a lovely collection of daylilies.

Oh, gosh, Karin, who in the world could resist that face, in either shot!

The adorable pup grew into a great looking dog!

Oh, a Corgi! I couldn't tell how big - or small - she is. How CUTE. I have seen Pembroke corgis with the short tails, but never a Cardigan. I have had mutts for the past few years. Here is our Ginny, the brown one, and our late Charlie about 4 years ago. Gin is now a little old lady of 15. I don't have any recent pics of her.



Here are some daylilies from the past week, please excuse the icky foliage!

Debra

All are very nice!!!

Karin, love Isabelle Rose and Crystalline Entity, and all
those gorgeous purples.

Lisa, I love purples too, and you have a very lovely
collection of purple.

Finally I have a couple of blooms to post!!

Moonlit Masquerade, so happy with the FFO photo taken @ 6:19 AM.. The bloom held up well all day, photo taken @ 3:12 PM..


Happy Returns photo taken at 6:21 AM., usually the first to bloom in my garden.

Margaret, Moonlit Masquerade is a wonderful flower.
It is hardy and is a very reliable bloomer here.

Happy Returns is one I don't have. I love that shade of
yellow.

Congrats on seeing your first blooms. I know how that
feels. Excitement!!!!

Thank you Shirlee, it's good to know that MM is hardy, has to be to survive here!

Happy Returns is an older smaller cultivar, very hardy and a nice bright spot in the garden, it blooms most of the summer.

Lisa, I like so many of those, it's difficult to single out even two or three. (I like purples, too. )

I'm mostly just taking in all the beautiful daylily pictures. There are so many lovely ones and my list is much too long now. I also enjoy seeing everyone's special furry friends. It's taken me weeks to look at all the posts and I just hope they continue for awhile yet.....Maryl

Very Nice Margaret, so gladd you are starting to get blooms
