Sunday's Best

14 years ago

Things were looking a lot better in the garden this morning. Here's today's picks of the day:

AZTEC BEAUTY

FINISH WITH A FLOURISH which, despite its prime location, still hasn't wowed me with its performance. I think this is its last year here.

VISUAL INTRIGUE had its best bloom today:

HALF MOON KEY had its first bloom (complete with earwig), with tons more to come. I love everything about this plant:

SWEET CHILD OF MINE (thank you, Debra) is going to be a standout once it's established:

MARY TODD, one of my favorite yellows:

And TWO SUES -- what an amazing plant!

Lovely daylilies! Aztec Beauty was one of my favorites this spring, every flower just perfect, & looks like yours is too. Visual Intrigue is very pretty with that pattern. Love Two Sues too, looks like a really large flower.

Really like the pattern on Visual Intrigue so it would be my favorite out of this group.

Tues Sues is a good sized flower, but it's the scapes that impress me the most (especially when they're loaded with buds).

Sweet Child is looking good! Your photos of Aztec Beauty always grab me. Does that one have thick, rubbery petals? Two Sues is wonderfully vibrant, and I'm always under the spell of Half Moon Key.

Thanks, everyone.

Debra, I love Sweet Child of Mine. Thanks for leaving the scape on to give me a preview. Aztec Beauty does have rather thick, waxy petals. I love the substance, even though I don't get a ton of blooms from it.

Aztec Beauty has been on my long list for awhile. If a place opens up, I'll try and get it. Your picture is wonderful of it......Maryl

I too like HALF MOON KEY. Mine is also full of buds this year but we shall see how the blooms do this year.
I do like the TWO SUES and from your description it does well for you. VISUAL INTRIGUE has a wonderful eye pattern. Nice pics.
