The lilies were busy today putting out lots of really bright blooms! Someone mentioned on here they can't stop taking pics of Mint Octopus...I'm like that with "Beyond Riches"


Wild Child on it's second day settled down to how it should appear:



One of my NOIDs from yesterday now has a name:" Frequent Comment"

Alexa Kathryn never seems to live up to her potential in my garden; this is the ffo:

A large, very pretty coral pink NOID- one of 4 in an order from last year:

It's getting darker purple as the season progresses- not yet as dark as one in the database from Tink, I believe...

I just checked out the database, Tink's is a little darker, looks like 3 different daylilies there with the different colors. Hilarious!

I think you should add your photo to the db, it's a very good photo. Thumbs up

Hans, thank you. As someone recently observed, it doesn't matter that it's not a new hybrid, if it's pretty, it's pretty.

WC has always done very well in this zone, and I have it under the partial shade of a hemlock tree. Tough plant.

I agree WILD CHILD looks perfect in your picture. It is one that has been on my wish list for some time.

We have been having cooler mornings than usual here in KY but that is ok with me. Here is a bouquet of Rice's

Keith, you are giving me hope. My Wild Child was one of the most ugly flowers I have ever seen! And that was it, just the one flower. Maybe next year I will actually see something pretty.
I had one pretty decent flower on AC but the second flower was a dud. then no more.

Hi, Susan
Yes, I have had a few that I had high expectation for and they turned out to be disappointments. ALEXA K. was one here that I totally sold out of because it just never looked like the pictures for me.


ROAD TO SAMARKAND is a beautiful one. The rich color is not captured well in this picture, it is just lovely.

EUROMAZING
