Larry, the last one I posted is Desert Moon. Only thing I don't like about it is the very short bloom time. The flowers seem to open all at once and then it is finished. Never a rebloom either.

Wow, beautiful daylilies blooms everybody! I have always admired your pics of Ultimate Sacrifice, Debra! I hope that I will get such nice blooms from my new plant this summer. I also love the white edge on Fighting Fire and Spacecoast Night Vision.

Zoia, the lavender shade of Irving Shulman is so lovely! I like it very much.

Larry, love the sculpting on the beautiful Nazca Hummingbird'!

Ina, Heavenly Tiger Tails catches my eye! I love it. It looks similar to Wild Horses but in different colors.

Jill, A&O is amazing! I hope mine will bloom as nice as yours this summer.

My most memorable blooms from last summer are

Ina - I think Desert Moon is lovely!

Jill - Your photo of Alpha and Omega makes me yearn for it. It's been on my want list for a couple of years.

Kousa - I love that red eyed seedling!

Kygal - Linda Gluck is an enchanter. I added it last year, and I hope it will perform better after a year to settle in some.

Tim - A Few Buck More is one I've never seen, but I do like it. Christie's Big Heart is a nice one, and I like both of the seedlings you posted.

Justine - Snow Crystal and One Night in Paris are my favorites of yours, along with Minnie. What a cutie she is!

Her ploidy is unknown but I suspect she's a dip. Very intact crown, and toothy. No dividing! Rolling on the floor laughing

I think the prettiest face in my garden is Aztec Beauty. I've had it for 12 years now and I never tire of seeing it in bloom.

El Desperado is fairly new to me, but I just love the contrast in colors.

I guess I just love sunset colors, because Nell Dean is right up there next to Aztec Beauty. Bought this one a second time after it died a few years back.

Love Voila Franscois! Both pics from Justine and Arlene are fantastic. I also like One Night in Paris and SHakespeare's Red very much.

Vickie, I agree with you about Aztec Beauty. I have been enjoying its beautiful face every year as well.

Arlene - Jared Timothy Bell is gorgeous. SC Francis Busby is a standout here too!

Digger - I was happy to start the thread. Try starting some more threads. Winter is a good time to get participation on them.

Thanks Zoia! I do enjoy them every year that they have bloomed despite their shortcomings. Due to these shortcomings, they will be registered in honor of relatives but won't be for sale. Maybe I will offer them as gifts or bonus.

Kousa - All three of those seedlings are marvelous looking! Here are some of my prettiest seedlings that haven't shown enough buds yet to be registered. I moved them out of the crowded seedling bed last fall, so perhaps they will have at least 15 buds and better branching this year.
