Congrats, Becky! You and many others have fantastic names for this daylily. If I was in Fred's and Kathleen's shoes, I would have a VERY hard time narrowing down to one. THough my favorite from your list is, Rippled Reflections. How did you come up with such an awesome name? It sounds like poetry to my ears. Thumbs up Thumbs up

WHAT??? I can't believe it!!!!! Blinking Blinking Blinking Blinking Blinking

I really didn't think any of my names might be chosen.

I kept going back to look at the photo of the bloom to come up with names. It's whatever came to my mind, so I added to my name suggestions post.

Thank you Fred for giving all of us the fun of naming one of your gorgeous daylilies! Let me know what I have to do to release the name to you.

Now .... I have participated in many of your other naming threads. BUT ... I really loved this one in particular because of the pattern. Very unique and exciting!!! There is "motion' in this bloom! I definitely think you have a winner with this seedling! I am very excited to be a recipient of this new intro by you! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! Big Grin Big Grin Big Grin

I am going to revive this old thread to share with you the first blooms from Lillian's Shimmy and Shake that I won from Fred.

This is not showing the patterning because of the heat. Fred informed me that most of his patterned daylilies don't really show their patterning when the temps get into the 90's. But this is still a gorgeous introduction by him even without the patterning showing off.

Lillian's Shimmy and Shake, first blooms:
