Francis of Assisi is one lovely reliable purple. Also
Catherine Folker and Lacey Snowflake. Catherine
Folker I have not seen before.

Love those bright colors!

Triple Cherries was new to me last fall, and has been a show off for much of the summer even in this drought. I wasn't as impressed with the first few blooms, but it has surely come into it's own this summer. ~Jan

Recently shared on the spider robin, but thought I would post the pic here as well.

Volcan Fuego is amongst my collection of lates. Tall, bud builder.

With Rudbeckia trifolia in the background. Taken a couple of days ago. Or was that yesterday? Geeze, one day is the same as the other lately! Hot and humid!




Guess it has to be enlarged to be clear!

Nice ones Christine!!!

I'm not liking Francis as much as I thought I might. Guess that was the point, though, of putting in so many similar ones--to keep those "good" ones and rehome the others. Make room to get more next year. Draconian budget constraints now, so I have been resolute in NOT looking at Maryott's or the LA. But I regularly watch Bob Selman's Blue Ridge listings on eBay and did get a Bella Sera from him for our receptionist. One of her cats was named Bella and died suddenly; I wanted to give her a remembrance. So, of courrrrrse, it only made sensssse to maximize the shipppppping cost...and I bought a Jamaican Me Crazy and Sanford Toad Hall for me.

Bobbie, lovely photo. Others have said this before, but it is good to hear it often, I think: You have a wonderful gift for design.

That Vulcan Fuego just glows!

Debra - how wonderful of you, and that is quite a remembrance. And yes of course, we can save money by maximizing those shipping costs! I like the way you think!

This is Jennie Come Lately, new this year, and still in my pot ghetto (it will be planted within the next couple of weeks)


Westbourne Ol' Mining Camp Lights (I may have posted this one previously)

Chicago Apache rebloom after soaking up sun all day


And August Flame, an oldie

I am working at making her a daylily convert and she had it in mind to look for one with Bella in the name, but hadn't done it yet. Her husband's grandfather died last week, they were very close, and Bob had it up (which I hadn't seen from him before), so timing seemed meant to be. And Bob always sends great bonuses, not that it had ANYTHING to do with the decision.

Nice blooms Jan!!
Thanks to everyone for the comments! Same as yesterday blooming today!!

And I LOVE the Blackeyed Susan that always makes an appearance this time of year!

Love seeing everyone's daylilies. Isn't it just awesome that some continue to amaze us with beautiful blooms. I have never had a bud builder, but I think I need to get some. I have heard of some having 100 buds.

It was a little cooler and cloudy this morning when I went out to see what was blooming. The colors were so good that I just had to come back inside and grab my camera.


Crazy Ivan



Cutting Loose



Oklahoma Sand Burr - this one blooms nearly all summer in my zone 6 garden.




Orange Blossom Trail




Parrots of the Caribbean



Sweet Valdosta Memories



Wild Cherry Round Up

Ann, those are beautiful! And I especially love your CUTTING LOOSE -- think I'm going to have to get that one next year. And of course your toothiest...

Christine, does your Black Eyed Susan spread for you. I started with one plant and now I have 5 or 6 plants.

Beautiful

Ivan and Parrots hit the best mark for me today

I have a couple blooming :)

Grandma's Smile from Maryott's



Going Banana's ReBloom



Double Passion ReBloom

Love Cutting Loose, Orange Blossom Trail, and Parrots of the Caribbean.
I don't have much of anything that is a bold color. Need to add some.

Also Grandma's Smile. Going Bananas looks like a sheer party dress.
Love the form and pastel color of it.

I had VT Maroon Branch blooming today, along with a gorgeously large Lilting Belle (if you like pinks, this is a beautiful one) and August Flame again. Didn't have time to get any more photos today and have posted these photos previously.

I need another dozen or so of these late bloomers..... ~Jan

Love the blooms everyone!!

Cindy, Black Eyed Susan spreads really well by underground runners. I have a huge area covered in them, where it's not really practical for other things to grow. It's so easy to share a big chunk because they always fill in again! I gave my neighbor across the street a few plants last year, and she already has enough to share with a bunch of people! I've never considered it invasive though, since it's so pretty, and is easily removed. Mine has been blooming all summer, which is strange, because it usually doesn't get started until now.

Mine bloomed early this year too. I have shared mine with a couple people already too. I plan on digging up a few of the smaller clumps and taking them north to the cottage. I think they will do well there too, unless of course the deer chow down on them.

Cindy, the deer seem to leave our Cottage daylilies alone. Perhaps it is because there are so many? (former daylily hybridizer's farm, have been growing 'wild' for 50 years) but it just hasn't been a problem. Now if I could keep my family from weed whacking the iris I plant up there...... ~Jan

The deer usually eat the buds off. You can go to bed and see all those nice buds waiting to open the next day, and when you wake up they are all gone
