Debra,

Armed and dangerous came from you!

Your Annabelle's Blush looks better than mine (but I did move it this spring)

Liking Frozen margarita too

OK so many MORE on my Wish List

Lisa - I thought I sold it to you. It definitely likes your garden better than mine.

Cindy - Frozen Margarita performs better for me than it did for Bob Schwarz. I get better branching and more bud count. Last year it tied with Grape Twizzler for best branching and bud count from my tet UFs. Both of those beat my Stamiles, Wilkersons and Davissons by a country mile.

Debra

After reading your glowing report, must get both Frozen Margarita and Grape Twizzler!!!

Lisa - Be sure to get them from me! I need to divide both this fall. Those two clumps are about to eat up less vigorous UFs growing around them. By the way, both are pod fertile.

Debra

Oh my gosh, how do you pick a favorite here now. I can't keep up with this post anymore. But I really really like Bullfrog Kisses. But I do love red eyes as you can see by the following:

Dot

Can't Touch This was awesome this morning.


Caesar Augustus first flower open.


Ima Masterpiece, finally decent enough to post. It opened a whole bouquet for me.


Over Heated sure is orange.


Raymon Duane, named for my son, he picked it out of my limited seedlings.


Talladega, I finally sprayed for thrips again and was rewarded with these awesome blooms.


Voila Francois and in clump strength. VF has these awesome widely branched scapes. I have never seen anything like it.


Volaris

There is no way I could pick a favorite, they are all so beautiful!!!

Ducks Dark Side, Bullfrog Kisses, and Raymon Duane are my favorites this morning.

Too many beauties for me to pick one favorite or even 2 or 3.

Here's the first bloom ever on our first ever Herrington--Uncle Henry Of Oz. If you like "hotties" this one's for you. I think it's gorgeous!

Nice Avedon!!! I have been eyeing that one on Lily Auction from Blueridge.

Speaking of "hotties" here is the first bloom on Alabama Jubilee which is a new one for us this year. It may not be a new DL, but it turns up the heat for us--love the color.






Okay, throwing in a freebie This is the second bloom on Alabama Jubilee, which turns out to be twins-gotta love 'em!!

Nice color

I have a question though. I'm still a newbie. Why did you not cut the prolif off long ago & pot it up by itself? I thought that was the way to do it. I just had a prolif on a NOID that I like & cut it off, stuck it in water & when the roots were long enough I potted it up. I have done this many times with prolifs. Am I doing things wrong?

You're not doing anything wrong but you can also air layer prolifs which creates a larger extensive root sytem by securing foil around the prolif and adding soil. There is a how to article by Dan Trimmer in The Daylily Journal winter 2012 issue.

Avedon, Alabama Jubilee was one of my first daylilies bought in 1998. I have a huge clump of it now and will always grow it. It multiplies very well and blooms it head off. If you hybridize, it will set a seed pod on every bloom. It's just such a garden standout. Seems like it glows when viewed from afar..

Now, as far as all the others, WOWOWOW, I'd never be able to pick a favorite. Dot, your's just take my breathe and all the others are just as stunning. I just have to get Viola Frances. It sure is awesome. Lovely all of them.

My eyes are hurting from all the beautiful blooms. So much eye candy.

I don't have time to post pics today but surely do that all of you who did.

Ann, I hope my Get Jiggy will look like yours. It's new this year.

Oh....I just LOVE BULLFROG KISSES today!!

HAPPY RETURNS
