Wow! What a fantastic showing of gorgeous daylilies, everybody!

Deryll, I agree with everyone that your black toothy seedling is a knockout! Just stunning!

Avedon, you have so many beautiful daylilies! Too many favorites to name.

Ken, love your walkway and hibiscus! Your Stenciled di Fresco is super nice. Wish mine would bloom like that! It has been struggling in my garden for the past 3 years and had not bloomed. I bought it as a double fan but it had decreased to a single fan over the years.

I bought Stenciled di Fresco last year from TNrocks on the LA. It shipped on April 30, FFE was on August 18. It rebloomed (or had a later scape) on September 3. It's a beauty for sure.
Hardy hibiscus are a hobby, but daylilies are an obsession.

Somewhat tongue-in-cheek, but this is the prettiest face in my yard. Sticking tongue out
He is a Russian-blue (I think). He is not mine. Possibly a stray. But doubtful as he is super-friendly and seems very well turned out.
We have been buddies for a couple months now. I give him cat-snacks and milk, and we both take turns to chase squirrels.
He appears in the morning for a snack, and again before sunset. I make sure not to overfeed him as I have no wish to lure him away from any real owner who may be out there. But a tad worried as winter draws near he may actually be homeless (we have a family member allergic to cats so he cannot enter the house - as he keeps trying to).
Anyhow, usually whenever I am out dabbing pollen he rushes me and tries to trip me up from all his friendly rubbing at my ankles. He purrs like a chainsaw. So now at home I have a massive bag of dry cat-food, cat toys and a cat brush (he keeps rolling around everywhere to scent his new territory - better than peeing which he never does - so gets in a mess with leaves and twigs). It is said from one of the many cat articles I have now read that Russian blues train the owners rather than the other way round. As his friend I can totally understand. Hilarious!

You might say we are gardening buddies. Although he has attacked a few blooms as I was trying to dab, thinking it a fun game. Kids, eh? Sighing!

And he's got the extra thumb on his little mitts! I love that New England mutation, the extra toe is so cuteā€¦he probably has a real home, most feral cats are a lot cagier than that. My cats were friends with all the neighbors, in the days before coyotes were so prevalent. I can't let them out any more. Not after I lost two in three months in 2015. I passed a pile of red fur in my yard today. Don't know what it belonged to but it was obviously a snack for some predator. Coyotes usually move in here in the summer. Lots of rabbit and squirrel dinners running around.

Oh my! Lovey dubby I think I have his 'twin' brother! LOL. I have actually been owned by two of these blue/grey kitties.....sadly, my beloved Kiko passed away in March. He was the sweetest animal I have ever known. But I still have Zeus, complete with the extra toes. I love your pictures and love that you have a new gardening 'buddy'.
