Another beautiful group, Kay. I love the clump shots of the Eyes of Distinction and Jazz After Five. I really like the pansy face of EOD.

Okay, now for the quiz: In the first photo, what's the daylily in the center, just to the right of the birdfeeder pole? Very tall, dark rose?

Chris

I just love the bed shot, things are still going very strong for you there. My favorite of this batch is Eyes of Distinction, it's a beauty.

Beautiful photos! I love the clumps of Eyes of Distinction and Jazz After Five. And the bed shot is excellent!

Debra

wow, I love that Bed shot.Its gorgeous.Glad you got some rain.I got rain here too,I think Thursday evening, but,it done no good.It just ran off and the ground was still hard as a brick..I still have to give everything a drink every day.I need to go out and start watering right now, but its so hot out, 97 and feels like 103.

Jean

Chris, thanks for looking and the nice compliments. The flower you have your eye on is You have your eye on Wall of Fire, another Emmerich, and a new one this year in my garden.

Thanks Rita. I too love Eyes of Distinction and have from the start, but they've been in the ground long enough to form a nice clump and have from the start.

Thanksa Debra, coming form you and Rita that is high praise. I am extremely pleased with Jazz after five especially since this is its first year in my garden.

Jean, I am so sorry your rain isn't doing the job. We have so far, been lucky enough to have a good rain most weeks.

As I promised (threatened) I am going to post more from this magical bloom day.
kay

Kay, you can "threaten" us with pictures of your wonderful blooms anytime LOL. And the more the better.

eyes of disctinction , very nice! and i like the green on island wonder... rain does wonders eh?

I really enjoy your bed shots. You must love all the color. Are all of your dl's approx. the same size?

You are so right, Dean. I don't care how much you water, it doesn't have the same effect as rain.

Kathy, thank you. Nope, I have day lily's that are huge, and some that are much more moderate in size and the heights really vary greatly.

I usually like large daylilies, I like eyes, and bright colors, but I like pinks and even a lot of whites. But Black Fathom Depths is now one of my very favorite daylilies of all time and it is a small one...but gorgeous:

Every one of these is gorgeous Kay! Wonderful weekend for sure!
Nancy

wow, that last photo says it all. its gorgeous.. more, more more....:))

Jean

I really love each and every one of these. But when I got to your additional photo of Black Fathom Depths, I had to pick it as my favorite. Love, love, love it! Eyes Of Distinction would be my 2nd pick.
Michelle

All the daylilies are looking very nice. I like Jazz After Five a lot. Looking at Black Fathom Depths, it's a wow! So happy that I was able to obtain it, too.

Ben

Ben, Jean, Nancy and Michelle. I only bought Black Fathom Depths for a very bad reason and I think it is my absolute favorite bloom.

The Story: I had bid on two plants the auction, and no one else had bid on them at all, and the auction was closing, which meant I would get them for a good price.

At the last minute, a certain bidder placed a bid on the two plants. (Allowed, since it is an auction, of course) but then she didn't bid again, so the end result was that I had to pay more for two plants, and I felt like it might have been a "bid-up" effort.

Just in case that was the case, I checked what this person was bidding on, and I bid up her bid on the two plants...I would return the favor and cost her more as she had cost me more, or I would win the auctions.

I won both auctions with those bids, and I absolutely love both selections, since they were Black Fathom Depths and Butterfly Cove.

The person may have just had a certain point she would bid and go no higher, and she may have just accidentally bidden on both the ones I was sole bidder on at that point with no intent to bid up, just to get a fairly good price, I don't know. I do know she didn't have a forum ID, and I know I was highly rewarded for a questionable motive by winning fabulous plants that I would otherwise not have placed bids on.

And Ben, Lucky you too! You will love BFD.
