This is Spacecoast Pumpkin Power on an overcast morning.
Subtitle (still life with frog). I wonder how he got there? There are no trees.
There is an arbor a few feet away, so maybe he jumped?

See you tomorrow morning at the Mecca. We'll probably arrive at Le Petit Jardin around nine.

Love that "Spacecoast Pumpkin Power" color, John. One of my favorite colors and shapes too.
Yes, I'll be at Petit's during Daylily Mecca then too. Really excited.

"Angel Love" must have open during the night because she was blooming at dawn.
This is the first time for her here at my house. Maybe the color ripples come in later in the blooming season(?)
The flower in my avatar is "Angel Love" as shown on Trimmers 2014 catalog cover.

This was my FFO yesterday, and I couldn't believe how striking and pretty it was -- and quite large too. It really stood out in the garden.
CHRISTMAS IN OZ


MAGIC OF OZ


MY CUP OVERFLOWS - Absolutely huge and elegant - comparable in size to AMETHYST PRISM! You're gonna love it, Mike!


VIVACIOUS SPIRIT


LILLIAN'S WOMAN'S TOUCH - Fred, you've outdone yourself with this one!


RANDOM KINDNESS (Subhana Ansari, 2014) - Last year this small flowered beauty seemed to me to have more pink in the blooms, but this year the first two blooms have been in the lavender range - absolutely love this little one!


MYSTICAL INTUITION



RASPBERRY FROST


MOVING PICTURES


CROCODILE SMILE - Another one that really stands out in the garden


SNOW CRYSTAL


FABULOUS BLACK PEARL


GOD SAVE THE QUEEN


RUFFLED MASTERWORK - I had received this one as a gift plant and wasn't sure I would keep it -- until it bloomed!




And a few more little ones:

CANADIAN BLUES


TET. CRYSTAL BLUE PERSUASION


MYTHIC VOYAGE


LIL' RED WAGON - The color of this bloom was much darker, but I couldn't get my camera to cooperate...

Pat, I just noticed your gorgeous picture of ANGEL LOVE -- what a beauty! Mine has a scape and I'm hoping for a bloom in the next couple of weeks -- how exciting, and thanks for sharing!

I agree

Lovely, lovely blossoms all.
Had one bloom on a new arrival. It was unrecognizable
due to the low night temps we are having. I think winter has
returned. Grumbling

It's too cold to finish planting the seedlings. About 3 more
days of planting left.

Christmas in Oz is a new one for me this year although it's light years away from a scape, let alone a bloom. I sure hope it looks as nice as yours Betty. I always appreciate people's comments on how a daylily looks in the garden, since, as we all know, the camera doesn't always tell the whole story. Someone told me that Christmas in Oz can have rot problems (I grow many of mine in pots where crown rot is more of a problem), and be a bit winter tender. I hope not. Christmas in Oz is my first venture into the UF form........I like that Vivacious Spirit alot too. So many pretty ones. To single out a few is not to say I don't love all the others..........Maryl

Tropical Centerpiece may be changing my mind about daylilies that need to "settle in" -- last year I really did not care for its color or form, but this year, Mmmm, it is Grow-ing on me!! Lovey dubby Hilarious!
