I like a lot of daylilies for a lot of reasons, so I'll try to do some justice for what they did in 2023.
Bitsy can easily be underestimated because it's just a small yellow flower, but it bloomed continuously for 105 days for me this year.
Time is Nigh and Tree Turtles were both dug up and shared very late in the fall of '22, but both recovered and bloomed over 7 weeks for me again this fall.

New to me this year, both Blue Lightning and Crazy Kate managed to lead my rookie performers.

This whole section which includes Clemson Girls, Goldner's Bouquet, and Carrick Wildon was a giant bouquet of yellows, golds, and oranges in later July and into August.

I'm so lucky with my seedlings, but just a couple highlights:
My Keepsake Rosie x Nana Nance seedlings seemed more photogenic than normal.
And first time bloomer, 06-016-03, gave me a large, unusual form (spider-ish?) bloom in colors that are reminiscent of Victoria Josephine. It has some work to do. The scape was thin and needed support of a small maple tree twig this year, but fingers crossed it can get a little more beefy in years to come. But that stupid maple tree provides enough sticks for me to work with it. I did get a small pod to set on it. We'll find out if the seeds are viable in February.

And all my wonderful seedlings that I got from Davi's later blooming crosses are just wonderful looking, late plants.
