Nice! Every one. My favs though are Early Showoff & Man of Sorrows. I like Munsons too, don't think I've seen Etosha before, it is really pretty

Man Of Sarrows gets my vote. Love the rich red color and watermark. How is the overall bud count on it, if you can recall?

Put me down for Man of Sorrows too. And also that Naughty Girl Pet!Both have such wonderful saturated color! Blue Corn Moon has very pleasing colors too. Mine bloomed so light last year with temps in the 100s that I didn't recognize it. Hope is does better this time. At least I Remember You is blooming for you now. Too bad about the thrips. It has deep, rich color in your garden.

Julia, the bud count is good this year, but last year it was overwhelmingly good. A very good tall plant that usually blooms well above it's foliage .

Debra, it has bloomed several times, but the thrips are really liking it. I sprayed again today. The color is beautiful. A garden is always a learning experience, I guess.

Nancy, Early showoff was a bonus, but it is a very good bloomer and an early morning opener. Etosha and Flames Over Africa are my two favorite Munson's, I think.

Linda, I bought it again because it is such a pretty one, and especially when a clump is in bloom.

It seems that many pics of Choral Fantasy show poor opening. Unfortunately, I find that with many of Bill's intros, perhaps a result of an obsession with round, ruffled forms.
Love those Emmerichs!

Heavenly Angel Ice is one that I must get. Love the beautiful color of W. Naughty Girl Pet, but Man of Sorrows is my very favorite today.

I'm joining the chorus with Man Of Sorrows. Carol Emmerich has lots of lovely daylilies. I do like the color of Naughty Girl Pet and Indian Giver is another goodie. Avedon

Mantis, I think Emmerich's do well everywhere. Choral Fantasy likes warm weather to open well.

Val, HAI is a wonderful plant for me. Naughty Girl Pet and Man of Sorrows got lots of votes today.

Thanks, Nancy. It's a great plant here.

Avedon and Jean, Indian Giver is a lovely bloom. I think the voles killed my last plant and it will take a couple years for this one to grow to great blooming size, but the blooms are pretty things.

Rita and Nate, both of them have deep colors and I love them both. Nate, you should try again. I won't give up until I've killed one I really like three times, and it hasn't happened yet. Twice , yes, (Johnny Cash) but not three times.Thanks you all for looking and commenting.

I love both of the vibrant watermarks (Man of Sorrows and WB Naughty Girl Pet. I tried to grow WBNGP once upon a time and never saw a single bloom. Your photo makes me wish I'd replaced it.
