Adorable, Emquinn!

Becky I love the poly bloom on Gleber's Top Cream.

Nice blooms, everyone. Love Gleber's Top Cream, Wild One, Mind Octopus, and Collard Dream. What a wide variety of beautiful colors.

Bold Awakening, FFO in my garden


Carolina on My Mind


Emperor Butterfly


NOIDs

ok... I have to ask... what does FFO mean?




Mayo

It means first flower open.

Wow, South Carolina is far ahead of me! I may have more than Stella open by the end of the week.

Beautiful pics! Thanks

Good morning everyone & BEAutiful blooms!

It's been a week or so since contributing as I was out of town. My DW said she didn't have the time to stand out and take shots of ALL the flowers blooming in my absence. I said to her, be glad I only have 78 and not a thousand or more

Here are a few of today's beauties,

'Triple Cherries' has started opening and this was taken last night after dark.


'Peace Pipe' is new in my collection this year.


'Seminole Wind' again


Another look at 'Hot Secret' the color is remarkable this morning.


'Aztec Beauty' is a little slow opening this morning.


'Night Whispers' is a lot smaller this year.


'Lees Loss' is another new face.


This is the NOID that I've been sharing for a couple year now. I Love this face.

Emperor Butterfly

Stan,
The noid is beautiful, with that soft lavender blush edge!

I agree with both of you!!!

Oops,

Forgot two this morning,

'Distant Star' and another of 'Donna Mead'
Both are new this year.





DS is slow opening and showing canoeing, but I'm sure it'll improve as the season progresses.

Lovely colours on those two. Distant Star is very dark and I like the mauve midrib!

Love the rich color on Distant Star. What does canoeing mean?

@canadanna
Canoeing is where the petals are not opened all the way and resemble the front end of a canoe.

Thanks.I see it now. So not a good thing

Today's blooms:

Wisest of Wizards


Shady Lady


Daring Dilemma again

Oh, Angie! Best time to really be a shady lady! And if not that, be the wisest of wizards! Beautiful blooms!

Thanks, everybody, glad you like the pictures. Anna, I live outside Linden, in what we call the ArkLaTex area. I am wondering just how our flowers are going to respond to the weather coming up. This morning when I went outside, I had to wear a jacket for it was 54 degrees with a north wind blowing pretty well. We are supposed to have rain every day next week so hope the flowers can continue to open.

Here are the three FFOs for today:





Small World Snow Owl--both pictures above. I love this daylily, it produces these lovely blooms with great substance.


Burning Inheritance--sunglasses needed!! This one was moved last fall and is now really coming into its own, it has found the "happy spot".



Lillian's Thin Ice--second season starting, with 11 scapes--fantastic daylily for us.



"Mudbug Madness" my own creation that my husband insisted on keeping, though I said it was muddy, hence the name. It really is a good daylily, has lots of large blooms.
