Black Eyed Stella - I got it a couple of weeks ago and it has scapes so waiting for the buds to open.

Pardon Me - no scapes so far.

Interesting thing is both are rebloomers. :-).

When they bloom I will take pictures.

Rick, I have several nocturnals (although I had to look them up to make sure). I don't think mine fade out any faster than my other daylilies. I rather like them because they are always fully open when I go outside early in the morning. Here are a few of my favorites:

AMANDA'S INTRIGUE (really pretty and very fertile - I've got some nice seedlings this year from it)
{{gwi:714482}}

SPARKLING ORANGE (one of my first daylilies - always reblooms)
{{gwi:822596}}

VEINS OF TRUTH (moved this one into full sun this spring and the color has been disappointing this year)
{{gwi:822597}}

GALAXY EXPLOSION (your picture is much better than mine, but I'll post my new one so you can compare)
{{gwi:822598}}

I also have BEAT THE BARONS, CHOCOLATE CHERRY DREAMS, LIVING ECHOES, APPLE TART, and TOOTH...none of which have bloomed this year (most are new this spring). Ok Rick...your turn...post some of your nocturnals!

Here's Holy Spirit. The stats on it say it's a 1979 intro from Guidry. It's been a beauty...lots of blooms and they've been really pretty. It's slightly fragrant...so nice to go out before sunup and there it is...already dressed for the day!!

The landscape daylily Happy Returns starts opening at night and is fully open the entire next day (& all day). The problem for me with nocturnal bloomers is that the slugs love to munch on the overnight blooms. The next day the slug fest is evident on the blooms. If you can keep the slugs away (or don't have that problem), Happy Returns lives up to expectations.

Thanks guy's for posting some of yours! Kathy I think I am going to try and post some as I take them this season....maybe try and capture some late evening/night shots, along with some next morning shots. Might be very interesting to compare those views. Amanda's Intrigue is gorgeous! and great pic's of them all Kathy! It will be interesting to see how the clump of Galaxy Explosion does this season...:)
Mary, good point...I had not thought od how the slugs and earwigs might get those night time bloomers...will watch for that...:)
Very purdy shot Beth....how tall is Holy Spirit? Interesting that that is also the name of one of our Hospitals here...Hmmmmm
Julia my Black Eyed Stella clump is blooming now and it's right off the deck.....it says HI first thing at light with open bloom....nice view when looking out the first thing in the morning.

Rick

Rick -
Looks like I never really got too many pictures of the night bloom and then the day after bloom, but here are some of my NOCs. These are new blooms opening:

Blue Elf 8pm

Little Blue Bell 6pm

I have some others, but Surf got its scape knocked off by the dog's tail, Stargate Explosion, Catnap Blue, Seeing Blue and Pete Hansen's Memorial don't have scapes this year. Neon Pink, Missouri Memories are new, and have no scapes. Party Pinafore, Forstyth Frostbound, Iddy Biddy Gal, Earlene Garber, Eagle Nest & Come See I haven't photographed at night. Maybe I'll see how they look over the next couple of nights and try to get some pics. I'll have to set up the tripod - as flash does not work to capture the true colors... but I might get some cool shots!

I'm going to second Rick on Amanda's Intrigue! I wasn't going to buy any this year because I already have 10 in pots that I can't fit in the garden (soon I won't have any grass left!)... but I might have to make an exception for that one.

Rick, this lil issue of Holy Spirit I have was a 'rescue' from one of the big boxes...had it stuff in a pot thru the blazing hot summer last year and figured that it was still green so popped it into the ground this year. For all the abuse and neglect it's had, the buds and flowers are sassy fat. It's short, tho....almost stays nestled in the foliage, but turns to be one that I just love. (this is the first year I've had any daylilies in the ground, other than Stella and Bitsey)...got some from the Kinnebrews - they live close by..VERY NICE FOLKS, to be sure and Wow...they have the flowers, now! Got a few others from Mr Selman via Blooming Auction....the most huge fans you can imagine! ...so far, all my plants are happy! and I DO love the nocturnal aspect....being an early riser (before the sun), I love to go out to see the smiling faces early!
