| Which are your favorites? I think they are actually pretty rare. The only one I have now is a pastel bicolor Parfait. |

| I added LILLIAN'S VAPOR TRAILS this year. It tried desperately to bloom in the terrible spring weather so the scapes were shorter but the blooms were lovely. I have also eyed SCANDINAVIA but never could get my hands on it (not that I tried all that hard). |

| I added Frostbite Falls this spring it is 38" tall with 6.5" blooms looking forward to seeing it bloom. If you want to be happy for a lifetime plant a garden! Faith is the postage stamp on our prayers! Betty MN Zone4 AHS member |

| I have August Frost and it is very nice, opens well, diamond dusted, large and sturdy scapes too. It blooms late as the name implies. I don't know that it gets really tall though, I think height varries alot for different people. |

Didn't measure it but Heavenly Snow White is quite tall with large flowers and has grown extremely well for me. I bought it last year, single fan and it now has four fans, most of my other single fan purchases from last year are still single or now double fans. |

These are a few that I have and love. Some are more "off white" than others.  [edited : sorry, missed the Tall part, not all of these are tall, but they are pretty. Have added the heights.] Angels Flight (Hall-D.F., 1969) 28'  Carolina Sugar Daddy 33"   A NOID that I call Dunloe Wild White  I rescued this one from an overgrown patch of woods. Here is what it looked like (picture from 2008 taken with my old phone)   Ice Cream Dream, a bit pinkish. 22"  Joan Senior 25" Lillian's Thin Ice 36"  Ladybug Pathfinder , more cream than white, but close. 30"   Margo Reed Indeed 28" Old Mount Vernon 32"  Westbourne Miss Personality 28"  Westbourne White Christmas 24" |

| They are so pretty! Laura, you have a great collection going on. I need to add some white ones. I only have Joan Senior and I don't think the substance is very good. Also Victorian Lace but it is more a creamy color. I think they do look nice with the darker purple shades. The contrast is stunning. |

| Lillian's Vapor Trail's first year bloom for me was only about 20 inches off the ground. I will look forward to seeing it next year when it more than likely will be taller. Lighthouse Gardens |

Hemlady said:Lillian's Vapor Trail's first year bloom for me was only about 20 inches off the ground. I will look forward to seeing it next year when it more than likely will be taller. Was yours new this year? Mine came north and I think was ready to bloom on a southern schedule before falling smack in the middle of much cooler weather. Has rebounded beautifully though.  |

| 'Gadsden Icicle' is registered at 38"; I never measured it so I'm not sure that it gets that tall here, but it *is* one of my taller near-whites. This year the 30" rose-edged cream 'Beautiful Edgings' was about as tall as the recently moved 'Gadsden Icicle'. (I think that GI was shorter this year due to the spring move.) It's daylily season! |

| I will have to measure my BE. It always seems very tall to me! |

| Yes James, LVT was new this spring so I was surprised it got a scape. It is growing nicely. Lighthouse Gardens |

| The height is the problem I am finding. I have Heavenly Angel Ice and Heavenly White Lightening. But so far they are way shorter than I thought they would be. Blizzard Blast is my tallest but it is more yellow then near white. Last Snowflake has yellow/green in it and again it is way shorter than I had thought it would be here. “Once in a while it really hits people that they don’t have to experience the world in the way they have been told to.” - Alan Keightley |

| 'Heavenly Snow White' is 43" tall and impressed me! It's a dormant diploid. |
