Betja said:Wow, Natalie, here I am seeing the very last of my blooms now and yours haven't even started yet -- amazing! I do have lots of pictures to post, but no time right now. So I guess most of them will have to be posted with the July blooms -- along with yours too... Thumbs up

In Utah, I almost never had a bloom before the 4th of July, so it was always a long wait. Last year, a couple bloomed just before that, but we all know that last year was weird! Having moved all of these plants from Utah to Idaho just a month ago, I wasn't expecting any blooms this year. So, I'm thrilled to get a bloom, and it's even earlier than normal! Hurray!

Thanks Debra! It actually looks much better than it ever did in Utah! I've only had it a couple of years at the most, and it's always done well, but seems to be extra good this year! I wish all the gold dust would show up in the pictures!

Congrats Natalie on your first daylily. Bloom season is soooo exciting.

Debra, as usual I simply cannot pick a favorite, your photos are so gorgeous.

Thanks everyone else for taking the time to post. It is so hard to keep up now with all the pictures here everyday.

Thanks for the kind words about Forty Second Street. I moved it to a sunnier spot, and it doubled in height and beauty!

Congrats Natalie on your first baby in your new home. Daylilies never disappoint. Hurray! Hurray! Hurray!

Thanks everyone for your kind remarks. My 1st bloom, other than some newbies that I posted last night, will happen tomorrow with 'Happy Returns'. All 3 plants are popping with buds. And so it begins..... Hurray!

Dot...Yes, I am thrilled with 'Dragonfly Dawn'. What an amazing bloom. An absolute classic. Huge.

I have been weeding my daylily beds all day long. This is the first day in 5 weeks where it hasn't rained in VT. I declared it a holiday! Rolling on the floor laughing
