I really like the look of Mexican Fiesta, it really has that WOW look. Crimson reflection is a really pretty color.

I like Mexican Fiesta. I had very short scapes issues this year too, but things seem to be improving. Of course I am close to peak now/

GLad to see you have a few blooms, Debra.Cool Twister is certainly a beauty. . love that one.Mexican Fiesta is a beauty, too. Love them ruffles.

You always have beautiful daylilies, Debra, so enjoy seeing them

I remember liking Crimson Reflections last year and I've got to say it's still appealing even with the short scapes. Glad to see you posting again.....Maryl

Some nice ones to start your season, Debra! Hope that short scape thing stops soon. Can't wait to see more!

Thanks all! I don't know if the short scapes are due to a lack of rain in April or the temperature swings this spring. Maybe it's a combination of both.

Pretty blooms. I have a few this year that's blooming on short scrapes also. I thought maybe it was because I moved them recently.

Nice start Debra. Always enjoy seeing your blooms.

I dont mind short scapes as long as its not down in the foliGE, where you cant see thre bloom.

Short scapes are a bummer! Here, it's often because a plant is tender. With a mild winter, it is hard to figure out why.

Both seem to have opened well. Euphoric has Sense of Wonder as a parent, and it is known for short scapes.

Pretty blooms! Mexican Fiesta and Euphoric catch my eye.

Mantis - Mexican Fiesta is supposed to have 36 inch scapes. They are 12-14 inches in my garden. Euphoric is supposed to be 34 inches. Mine has scapes 14-16 inches tall. Of the 20 daylilies in my red bed, only seven so far, have normal sized scapes. As I continue to water there, some of the M and ML scapes are growing taller. In my backyard gardens less than 10 out of 600 have normal height scapes.
