Another one with drool factor for me is



The dramatic UF characteristics of 'Fred Manning', combined with it's texture and soft colors, simply takes my breath away! Along with 'Helix' the twisting of the sepals reveals a soft solid yellow on the underside, and that seals the deal for me!

When the sun hits South Seas it really takes off.

Craw, I've had my eye on 'South Seas' for quite a long time! Colors that look like yummy sherbet is a top fave of mine!

The color of South Seas is outstanding! A long time favorite of mine.

Where are you getting yours from? I had a hard time finding it!

@legalily
Ginny, I placed an order with MaryAnn Pruden at https://lilyhouse.plantfans.co...

Just discovered these two after checking out https://lilyhouse.plantfans.co...

The story on the name hit home for me. The color and texture represents the name impeccably, and most likely, it'll be the first near white that I'll have in the gardens!

and....

....but they're sold out of this one.

A beautiful white

Really like "FRED MANNING"

Gorgeous daylily- any chance the "name" helped that love @spunky1

I'm sure most who post here, like Fred Manning too. The CV is wonderful as well!

Edit to add this one, is probably the one I've drooled over and that had me gasping for some time. Arrived from Fred a couple weeks ago.

Can't wait for mine

A nursery near here has Africa... It was sold out last summer. I bought "Which Way Jim" - another deep shade... Still want Africa though

Diana ask Dana if there's any left She found it today.

Ginny, I just can't thank you enough for bringing yet another daylily nursery to my attention..... .......but your attempt to enable has failed thus far! Mwaahaahaaaa!!!

@ShakespearesGarden Diana, Nature's Melody Nursery does have 'Africa' for $10. I didn't buy any bc I owe Blue Ridge enough money, as it is! So, there should be a fan or two for you to snatch right up!

Every last one of them and that is how it becomes an addictive hobby!

good point David. I keep thinking stop, no more, then oh look another pretty face

Just have to give you my answer to the original question posted.

Have you ever seen a daylily that made you gasp?
Most all of mine make me gasp with their beauty, that is why I bought them in the first place in that they grabbed my attention and still wow me.

Betty It's better than opening Christmas presents for me - first thing in the morning go see what opened up today
