Love your "triple H", Char! Rolling on the floor laughing Those are some beautiful daylilies, though. Lovey dubby

"H" is difficult, and sadly I do not have much time to play today. Too many errands, also have to make two nursery runs. This weekend we will (hopefully) grade an area so we can put in a small (3' x 8') seedling bed, and I need to get more planting mix and amendments for it.

I also want to get some more Iberis, but let's save that for the Is. (I probably won't have pictures (the garden is a mess right now even though there is scattered bloom among the Iberis), but I can talk about how it contributes to the daylily garden!)

But as I don't think anyone has mentioned Halo yet, here is one of mine (which I have not seen bloom in years, thanks to the deer Grumbling and poor soil in one bed). (Our dog has been diligently chasing deer out of the garden, and the whole bed is being renovated so I hope to see it in bloom again, next year if not this year.)

Editing this to add that I do very small scale hybridizing (the technical term for which, I believe, is "pollen dabbing"). My avatar is one of my seedlings, a tet, but it is not reliably polymerous (I think too much shade is playing into that) and it is only low percent. I do expect to see a couple of seedlings bloom from it later this season, though, and hopefully those will be higher percentage. (Whether poly or not, I like its cheerful small flower which blooms E-EM. I just hope that it doesn't catch the rust that I am currently battling!)
Evaluating an iris seedling, hopefully for rebloom
