Good pic, Alea. Who here has not run out in the rain to take a picture of a flower?

Just beautiful, Dave. Love that one.

Good question, Nan! I've been known to run out at the beginning of a rain so I could get a picture of a bloom before the rain melted it, lol.

We had our little shower of rain this morning, and it wet all the blooms. I picked off all the blooms last night so everything would be fresh this morning. Well, I had been so busy I seemed to be getting behind in everything. But I was determined to get some photos this morning, so here they are even if they are covered in water drops.
My wife is a big Elvis fan, so I bought this one for her last year.

Great blooms, everyone! That DARE TO DREAM looks yummy, Alma!

Beautiful pics, Larry and Alma!

Keep em coming loving everything I see. Can't wait. Have to wait. We have several that will be first time evers. Too many to list. So I go out every morning to see progress and I see wonderful things. Scapes scapes scapes all getting above fans something new to the past couple of years. For the past two years scapes bloomed down in the fans. Getting Airborne is already 27 inches and the buds are tiny. I would be so excited if it made it to the height it is registered as.

Waiting.......

A couple of "classics" FFO today
An oddly shaped 'Schnickel Fritz'

'Happy Returns'

My only FFO today is Frankly Scarlet. This is the one from Oakes Daylilies, not the registered one apparently. But it is a really nice plant.

This is another unregistered plant that happens to be one of my favorites, Lemon Vista. It is so hard to capture the color of this one, kind of a glowing, luminous yellow.

NOID-FFO(from Wild)

Woww, the season has really started, so many beauties already. I have several that are being shown, but at our house it's either just a few scapes showing or no scapes yet. Compliments to all of you for your lovely pictures. Just want to say I am very taken by a Glimmer Of Glamour and Lillian's Katelyn Joy, so glad you showed them Fred. And, I do have one new one to show, Fleur de Mingo.

FDM with sun on it.

FDM in the shade--a little blotchiness, but still it's a first flower,I can stand it.

Here's Katherine Caldwell/Dragonfly Dawn #7 with two nice ones. I really like the light lime green on the petals and sepals.


Katherine Caldwell showed four pretties today.

Glamour of Glamour looks so soft!

Katherine Caldwell and child are very nice also!

This is the plant I ran over last year when it was full of scapes and buds. So happy to finally see it bloom!

I wonder if people seeing that plant with the name plate in the garden think that is a NOID?
