A first bloom on Bradley Bernard

A first on Fancy Face, thanks Rita!

I don't know what this daylily is. I received it as Raspberry Pixie, but it is close to 4' tall. I don't like small flowers, but just can't get rid of this one, and kinda like the small flowers on tall stems. Look at the buds!

I've had Bahama Butterscotch for several years & it has never been this tall before, less than 2'. Suddenly it is 3'+. Don't really have a lot of blooms open yet, but...

No blooms on My Melinda yet, but look at the buds. I counted buds on the scapes, averaged 32 on several, 45 on one scape. It always blooms well, not a fancy one or huge flower, but it does bloom.

Couple more seedlings bloomed, siblings to the other orange seedling I have.

This one looks a lot like the first one, not as big but brighter.

More spidery looking

Look at all of them buds! And 'My Melinda' is definitely a top performer. Very nice flowers and Fancy Face is looking just real, real good.

I like the first orange seedling.

I just planted Bahama Butterscotch myself new this spring. It has a scape coming up. I planted were I need a short daylily, I hope it doesn't decide to be overly tall. I like your picture, it looks like a very pretty daylily.

Maybe having lots of rain this spring made them taller?

The small flowers on the tall stems looks good to me. Who could get rid of one that makes so many buds.

Fancy face looks great. Mine FF row is all scaped up getting ready to bloom.

Oh wow......just LOVE Fancy Face! I like Bradley Bernard also. Will need to get that one since it has my maiden name in it. Looks like you will have many, many blooms this season. Your seedlings are great. I especially like the first one. Looks like it glows in the sun.

Thanks for the comments! I'm loving Fancy Face too.

Rita, I've had Bahama Butterscotch at least 5 years, probably longer. It has always been much shorter than this. Tinkers says 1'6", mine has always been taller than this though, closer to 2'.

Pretty, pretty, pretty, Nancy. There's not much blooming here yet, but lots of scapes. First Show has opened, as has Prairie Blossoms. PB is always one of the first to bloom and one of the last to stop in the fall. While not a large flower, it's pretty and prolific.

I love your seedlings. And Fancy Face is one of my favorites. I need to look and see if I have any scapes on mine yet.

For what it's worth, all of my plants look like they are on steroids this year. My irises were all taller than normal and my daylilies look taller too. Had to be all the snow we had last winter, along with a rainy May. Local daylily hybridizing friends told me that they went to a presentation given by a national grower, and he said that the best fertilizer for dayliies is water, water, water!

I have Raspberry Pixie and it has always bloomed taller than the registration data. I still love it.

Bahama Butterscotch has been here now 3 seasons. Last year I noticed it was taller too. Blame it on the excessive rain we had. Let me know if yours exhibits bud building as I saw it do this last season here. This one also multiples quickly here.

I got Fancy Face from Brown's Ferry this year and it has several scapes and looks to be blooming this morning. So will go and check it out after the fog lifts here. Lots of rain last night and the dls are loving it.

Your orange seedlings look good. They are opening really good.

Love all the pics.

Fancy Face is very pretty! That first seedling is also especially nice.

You've got some tall ones there:) I am really liking the star-shaped throats like Bradley Bernard.
