Flower form for Bloomquist Tamara. Dahlia World gives the form as fimbriated. [Bloomquist Tamara M.Fim. R. 2009 bloomquist USA ads12]

My limited photo evidence of the blooms suggests that the petal tips are not significantly split or serrated, but the petals are very narrow, curled or twisted, and revolute through most, if not all, of their length. To my inexpert eye, the blooms appear more like a cactus type than anything else. I offer this observation with the caveat that dahlia blooms do not always behave true to their cultivar standards, either in form or color. The blooms I've seen might be anomalous.

I have now had Earth Music for five years - large flowers on about 2 1/5-foot scapes. For me it flowers in midseason. I had to move it last year, it was in an area where work needed to be on the property, but it did put out a couple of flowers in spite of being moved.

I find this daylily carefree: no rust, no diseases, no pests. I expect it will return to producing blooms well again this year, but time will tell.

Dynamite Returns aka Passionate Returns is a small-flowered daylily, but it more than makes up for the size of the bloom by how prolifically it flowers. It performs extremely well here in zone 3, disease-free and pest-free for the five years I have been growing it. Added plus: it's fragrant, too.

But the real winner is how very long it flowers for me here... it begins around the middle of July (fairly early, as my very earliest daylilies begin the last week of June) - but it continues well into August and, so long as we do not have a dry season, blooms profusely nearly to the end of summer. Not quite as close to 'everblooming' as Stella d'Oro, for example, but much longer than most.

Dimensional Shift is gorgeous! Reliably hardy in zone 3, I think it actually grows a bit taller than the 26-inch scapes it's listed for. It blooms in midseason here in northern NYS mountains but stands out very well in the gardens.

This daylily complements whatever you have planted nearby and, when companioned by deeper maroon or burgundy blooms ... such as Dominic, American Revolution or Midnight Magic ... or against purple foliage (such as Rose Wine barberry, or many of the ninebarks) it really pops!

I've only had Dewy Sweet for two years, but it has done very well here in zone 3. Unlike some daylilies, this plant has had zero issues with any rust or disease in the gardens. The blooms seem to be consistently a deep, rich "caramel cream with bright red eyezone above green throat" as described, though I see pics from other gardens where it is much more pale and more pink.

It is double 'most' of the time but has single blooms on occasion. Smaller than the flowers of many daylilies, there is no fragrance that I can detect. Despite it's zone 5 listing, I find it very hardy here in zone 3. It's charming near the mid-fore section of the border and I would certainly recommend it.

I added 'Destined to See' to my zone 3 gardens three summers ago and I love this daylily. The blooms are in the medium range (nearly the stretch of my open hand), on sturdy scapes (about the 2-foot height noted) ... possibly just a bit under. It flowers well in midseason here, despite the zone 5 listing.

The plant has filled out, begun to multiply - and like so many others here, it has displayed the occasional polymerous bloom. We do have very snowy winters, which offers excellent insulation, but I would suggest 'Destined to See' for other cold-climate gardeners. It's beautiful.
