I checked this morning and the photo that I took yesterday of Always Afternoon was of the second last bloom of the season. I don't see any rebloom scapes on it. The only one sending up rebloom so far that I have noticed is Little Wine Cup. That one seems to be an instant rebloomer for me.

Valerie--All your daylilies are simply magnificent! The eyes, the pinks, purples throw in some blues and pastels, you have the ultimate collection! And a cute frog too!
Ginny--Your flowers are amazing and I agree with everyone that you have an awesome water feature!
Char--Really unique blooms. Tiger by the Tail and Window of Opportunity are both gorgeous!
LarryR--Nice bright bloom!
Betsy-- that first NOID of yours has such dreamy colors! Love the pinky/lavender and cream!
Mike--Your whites are looking good along with Lady Neva!
Mary Ann-- you have such beautiful colors and eyes on your daylilies! I like the late whites too!
Charley--Nice collection to bring in, but you do not have to say your wife wants them. You should know by now, we understand your addiction to daylilies. You just can not leave them outside. It is OK to bring them in and stare at them in the privacy of your home!
May everyone and their families have joy and peace in their homes, work places, schools, and places of worship!

Bloom is winding down, MABEL Y SHEPHERD is reblooming. This is a truly great, less well known daylily. Here is her flower at FFO.

Worth looking for, on the Lily Auction she goes for $15 or less.

'December Wedding' has been giving me at least a couple of flowers most days recently. I'm really going to miss it once it blooms out. Sad (Did I mention that I had a December wedding?) Today it has 2 blooms open.

This pic is from the 6th (4 days ago?!) after I cleaned up some of the dead foliage and paper tags; there were 3 blooms that day:



Cropped to two of the blooms (I think that it pairs nicely with the Helichrysum petiolare 'Variegatum', but I have to keep hacking the latter back):



'Sacrament of Healing' is also still blooming on a rebloom scape (this pic is from the 7th; there is only one bloom open on it today) but I like the opening and edging better on DW. (I have been trying to cross the better-opening, maybe-sdlg of SoH with DW, both ways.)

Evening image from the 8th on my potted 'Four Eyes' (a 3 x 3 bloom with something funky going on there - a petaloid?) :

I have been reflecting on my daylilies recently, and I think that I need more of a balance wrt their season of bloom. I should probably not get more E or EE ones (unless they are touted as CMOs and for good opening, or unless maybe they are a UF) as the daylilies are challenged by the cooler weather here in late April and in May. On the other hand, the weather now is fine for daylilies, and the garden would benefit from more L or VL cultivars. To that end, I have on order for fall delivery:

(an E, but one parent is 'Osterized' which always opens well here) and , a L.
Evaluating an iris seedling, hopefully for rebloom
