I am literally at the point of "if a daylily comes in, another has to go out", whether it be thrown away (some plants don't belong in anybody's garden, imho), given away, or a fan or two saved in a pot "just in case". ("In case" meaning that I might change my mind, or (more likely, and as an example), the daylily is not a great garden plant but there is some hybridizing potential, and I know that the plant will be difficult to reacquire.)

That being the case, I am somewhat limited (in the number of plants I will now pursue) and thus somewhat picky (wrt exactly what I am going to purchase).

All of that said... plants that I got from Bill this year (both purchased and bonus plants - and Bill is very generous with his bonus plants!):

DOUBLY HOT
BUSY BEING BLUE
SNOW CRYSTAL (ever in pursuit of the perfect near-white daylily for the Moon Garden, lol)
IMPRESSIONISTIC
CALMING EFFECT
APHRODISIAC
DARINGLY DIFFERENT
PLEATED PUMPKIN

To get the thread back on topic... my 'Oranges & Lemons' Gaillardia plants will ship from Santa Rosa gardens the week of September 16th. That means that the Gaillardia ID mystery will remain unconfirmed for a while; but on the other hand, that gives me time to attend to other garden chores (like what to do with all of those daylilies!).
Evaluating an iris seedling, hopefully for rebloom
