Thank you Vickie! Love Indigo Edge and Blockbuster, Alex.
The garden has reached peak with 3 wheelbarrow loads of blooms tonight. Always enjoy taking the time to see old favorites and having the opportunity to check out the new ones up close at the end of the day.

A few newer ones....
Glory to His Name, first time blooming for me, a pretty purple with nice form, opened several blooms today and each one was perfect.


Mood Elevator, Paul sent me this one as a bonus a 2 years ago. I moved it last fall to a different bed and was happy to see it ffo yesterday.


Reindeer Antlers, yes, it really is that bright! Gorgeous hot red, another year to settle in and I should see the super br/bc it is registered with.


Alex, remember a few weeks ago we were talking about threatening them with the compost pile if they refused to bloom? Look what I found today.... All I could do was laugh. Smiling

Strikingly Dramatic!!!!! Hurray!


Mercury Lounge, a gorgeous wide petaled pleated sculpted form.


River Ripples, purple relief sculpted form that has done well here.


and two more from the Dog bed...
Unconditional Love, an oldie but goodie, huge blooms registered at 5 1/2" but always bigger here and a super nice plant.


Fit to Command, registered name of my Great Dane.

Most of my daylilies have bloomed in July, but I thought I would post my orange ones.

This is Man Catcher, the brightest orange daylily I have.



And this one is Lady Lucille, which should be called Oakes Lady Lucille since I got it from Oakes Daylilies and it is not the Lady Lucille registered with the AHS.

Love the color of Man Catcher I have a bunch of seedlings of Man Catcher X Tangerine Horses.
Hoping for MC color with shape of TH or a mix of both realy just anything as long as they bloom nodding
If you would have a mind at peace, a heart that cannot harden, go find a door that opens wide upon a lovely garden.

How beautiful they all are! Thumbs up

@blue23rose I honestly do not think that is Beautiful Edgings. BE is a pretty affordable dl I would try getting another from a different source and planting it close by for comparison. I am just certain that is not the correct plant.

I honestly don't know what the story is there. The AHS Lady Lucille was registered in 2012, and I am pretty sure I have had the Oakes variety longer than that. The question is why didn't they register it.

Awesome blooms! Emma's Green Giant is a color I have never seen before. Imagine a patch of it planted with some of the blacker daylilies. That would be an interesting mix.

I'm new to this forum, but I love daylilies. Thanks all for sharing your blooms!
