    Oh Kay, I am so excited about Choral Fantasy because as I said before I got it as a bonus this year from Bill Maryott. Thanks for posting the picture of Delayed Arrival, I am almost sure I will get it. I got Sarah Hawes this spring and she had a few small blooms on her so next year she should be beautiful. I'm going to look up Pirate King, have seen it here a few times but don't know anything about it. Thanks for posting, really enjoyed your pictures. Judy

    Nice blooms today. Your Choral Fantasy looks amazing. I bought it last year from Bill and mine has really not done much of anything, a very few blooms on short scapes and unfortunately never lived up to its pictures on Maryotts website. It is deffinately going to be moved when I do some moving of daylilies up in the plateau. Maryotts intros are a mixed bag for me. They either do so poorly that I have to dig them up and send them away before they die completely or they are strong robust plants and great bloomers here in the garden.

    SOUTH SEAS also looks good and is a favorite of mine here. I know last year so many people posted pictures of SOUTH SEAS and it always looked amazing so I broke down and just had to have it. I am so glad that I did. I think its a GREAT example of older daylilies being as fabulous (or more so) than the very newest intro!!!

    Same here about South Seas. Got it this year and also gave some to my Mom because everyone bragged on it so much here.

    Chroal Fantasy is awesome! I bet it would glow in the dark:)

    Thank you to all for your kind comments.
    jkayd,
    Delayed Arrival was a bonus, so I didn't really think much about it, but it is lovely and it is very late blooming which is great. I would reccommend it.

    Rick,
    Thank you kind sir for your kind comments.

    Rita, Don't give up. when Choral fantasy bloomed originally, it was pretty, but not too impressive. I guess the little extra time has made the difference, because it is a beauty now...and it is a very large bloom too with fancy edges.

    Rita and Vickie,
    South Seas bloomed well initially, and the rebloom started very quickly with as many rebloom scapes as original scapes. Great plant!

    Wow, I have to agree that CHORAL FANTASY is just stunning! What a glorious color! I also added SOUTH SEAS last year because so many people were raving about it, and I have loved all of the pictures of it. I planted it in a new bed that I haven't been able to control the slugs well in yet, so won't get to see it bloom this year, but can't wait until I can see it in my own garden as well. In the meantime, I love to see the pics of it in the gardens of others!

    SOUTH SEAS is one special daylily and does really well here. I've taken photos of it in the cool mornings and hot afternoon sun and it still stands with the best of them.

    I just got PIRATE KING this year as a gift plant and it seems to have taken well so we shall see if it can winter over here.

    SARAH HAWES is quite eye catching even with all those raindrops.
