Wow, so beautiful daylilies, Betty and Lisa. Thanks Betty for posting pic of Sharyn Lianne. I hope mine will bloom this year and as nice as yours. I really like your I Am So Excited, Angel on Board, and Dragonfly Dancer too.

Lisa, love your Paw Prints on my Heart and the color pink and darker pink eye of Dancing with Julie.

bluegrassmom said:Wow, Betty those are impressive!

Too many beauties to add to my wish list.

Betty - I just love your photos of Sharyn Lianne! Is it blooming 8 inches or more for you?

Here are some from my garden over the past two days.

The Ultimate Sacrifice


Aztec Headdress

Love your The Ultimate Sacrifice, Debra! It is a really gorgeous daylily!

Ocean Spirit---FFO yesterday


Dublin Elaine clump shot--I believe there are 10 flowers, all double


Ada May Musick--bloomed four in a row yesterday, so neat.


Flying Trapeze--twins and showing off the watermark


Jellyroll Truffle--does not want to double until the fall. I have been threatening to toss this one, but yesterday, the clump of singles did look really pretty.


Joan Senior Clump--love the look of this one.

New yesterday and today.

'Tornado Alley', I hope there will be an undamaged bloom, but doubt there will be. A couple just had too many aphids and (I think) thrips. I think those are clearing out now, but there is residual damage on some plants.


'Biloxi Memories' photographed too green. It's what I'd call a clear lemon yellow as opposed to a canary or a butter yellow tone. Like lemons from the store that have been freshly dyed and not been sitting around on the shelf very long.



And here comes the judge! 'Judge Roy Bean'.

Just a couple:
All American Chief

Mr. Lucky

All breathtaking, I will have to come back and look more slowly, but wanted to share these while I have a moment.

First, this just bloomed for the first time today and I am embarassed to say I've forgotten who I got it from as well as its name, but it's just lovely.



I got this one and a few others when I was really running out of space! sohaven't sited them very well, but I did some thinning of an area in front of them so I hope they will be okay.

And my Nyiagongo are blooming like crazy! Still coming out a bit splotchy but I have hopes that as the season progresses they will even out. Love these! Many buds on each plant, too.

I had to mow the lawn today so it was mid-day before I got to take any photos, and my then some of the blooms were looking a bit glossy.
A Beautiful NOID

A couple of plain seedling blooms


The first bloom I have been able to see on Victorian Princess since I returned. Looks like some beetle or grasshopper damage on it.

A large beautiful bloom on Laura Harwood that I finally got to see.

Feliz Navidad looking a bit glossy.

My red NOID cranks out the blooms almost everyday.

Brocaded Gown, I didn't realize I had so many nice yellows.

A tiny Lullabye Baby bloom:

All three of these dark ones are almost next to each other, I need to spread them out a bit more.
Purple Rain Dance:

Bela Lugosi:

Nosferatu: I think that is german for Vampire, and it looks a lot like Bela Lugosi both of these are related (Grand Masterpiece) and are by the same hybridizer(C. Hanson). My Nosferatu has much thicker scapes than my Bela Lugosi.

This dark one is much further away, and this photo was taken yesterday, but it is my favorite dark bloom so far:
Night Wings:

This is the first bloom I have ever seen on Mexican Sunrise that was not totally splotchy. Maybe the blooms are finally clearing along with the weather.

Gorgeous, Larry!

I managed to find the tag on that pink bloom, it's Sugar Dandy, and here's a latge afternoon picture (the first shot it wasn't fully open.)



@Lilydaydreamer, did I get this from you perhaps?

Karen - I've been very pleased with The Ultimate Sacrifice. I got it last year, and It has multiplied well and wintered over well. This year most of my daylilies have stunted scapes, but not The Ultimate Sacrifice. It's scapes are nice and tall. The blooms always open well here and hold up in our heat.

Debra

fiji was finally able to open today without any issues I think the rain and overcast may have been the problem. the diamond dusting is very heavy all over and the edges even more so. The whole plant was shimmering in the afternoon sunlight as I took the picture. I love the tropical colors also The little ants in the photo must like it too

I pollinated it with forestlake ragamuffin pollen and used it to pollinate forestlake ragamuffin I think the colors will blend well together

Debra, I have noticed that I have several blooming shorter than the norm. Some were put in last Fall but others are established plants

Awesome pictures, I'm starting to get more and more blooms. These were taken when I got home for work at 4, temp 97, so not the best. I had some beautiful blooms this past weekend, but was busy with yard work, and didn't get any pics.

Mason's Mark, the eye is washed out, but still good substance.


Cat's Cradle, holding up pretty good from the heat. This is one of my divisions from thinning last year, and I hope to have my wife list them on her face book in a couple of weeks, to earn a little cash for two Judy Davisson Daylilies I really want to add.

I'm sorry to post twice about the same flower but you all have to see these edges

FIJI




and after a closer inspection of forestlake ragamuffin I noticed it also has gold edges with diamond dusting so I hope I get some pods!!

Forestlake Ragamuffin

Exactly what causes the diamond dusting appearance on daylilies?

? but I like it

Thanks Debra. It is definitely one of the most beautiful red that I have ever seen. The white edging on it makes the red really pop.

Avedon. your Ocean Spirit is just exquisite even for its first flower. Would love to see more pics of this beautiful daylily!
