Silver Moon Sparkle!
Your happy Returns looks more like Stella De Oro.

Here are today's blooms:

I think Im really liking the colors in Butterscotch Ruffles. Never heard of LB, looks like a nice deep red, not orangey.

Nothing new in the garden as far as varieties, but I wanted to show these two photos from today.
Jolyene Nichole: Just a perfect bloom. Certainly not the most colorful or bright, but just so beautiful with a thick texture, I just really like this plant, plus it is rust resistant. It is not a tall plant so just perfect for front row close ups.

Even though single blooms are often very pretty, my goal is to have more photos like the one below, and I hope they get much better as the season progresses. I want clumps with lots of blooms, this is the best so far this season.
Parisian Adventure:

Thats what Im after too Larry. Clumps.

Great daylilies! One of the best JN pictures Ive seen.

Lyle627, could you post that Solar Blue Angel poly. I wanna always be able to refer to that beauty. I just loved it.

Felt funny putting the 627, but I thought the system would give you a nudge if your user name was mentioned

I'm jealous . Goes to show how much variance there is from one part of Texas to another, I guess. Last year my earliest blooms were toward the end of May and that is probably going to be true this year as well. Not the same ones though. Those last year were classified as extra early bloomers and they won't be blooming that early this year. I just hope one of them blooms. It's not giving any hint of putting up a scape yet.

I just realized this year, that putting up a scape early does not mean it will be the first to bloom. It seems some daylilies take for ever to bloom after they put up scapes, others put up scapes and then bloom in a short period of time.

May is starting well. I've had a lot of FFo's already!

VELVET THRONE, Petit 2009, new to the garden in fall 2014. This thing has grown like a weed and I'm really, really happy!!



DIFFERENT DIRECTION, Smith-Harry 2011. New to the garden in fall of 2014. Wonderful addition if you like bright colors!


SPACECOAST IRISH ILLUMINATION, Kinnebrew 2008. Big, tall plant with lots of blooms


ROSSEN'S TIARA, Smith-Harry 2011, just the look I wanted!


JEANNE DEAVER'S DREAM, D. Trimmer 2009, last year it had a rough time, this year it's good


VERA MCFARLAND MEMORIAL, Kinnebrew 2010 It's a show off!

DIFFERENT DIRECTION thrives here. It's a great addition with the blooms being plentiful, large, and consistent.

My DD is just about to have its first bloom. I hope it does as well for me, as it has for you both.

Love those pictures..Pretty...all pretty.

Hello again,

It seems that the only ones blooming currently are those I posted last. I have lots of bud on scapes but will be a couple weeks before they share their beauty...

Here are a few recent photo's I took of the same ones again.

Have a trip to moms in a few weeks. Daylily shopping again this year. Hope to add another 20 or so...
Enjoy your day everyone...

I like that pure bright red of Prairie Wildfire, right now I need some bright colors!

Thanks Larry,
It is one of my current favs... Amazingly, it was a last year addition from Wilds.

My last year additions from Wilds are starting to bloom now, Jolyene Nichole, Awesome Blossom and now Rose Emily are blooming so far.
'Rose Emily' FFO:

This is a FFOE, and it is not form Wild's: I feel sure it will get some better as the weather warms up.
