    Lovely group of blooms! Allegheny Skyline and Sugar Magnolia are standouts. I also really like the soft color of Snowflake Empress.

    Ocean Spirit caught my eye and Forsyth Flaming Snow is so feminine looking. I also like Beautiful Edgings. A classic beauty........Maryl

    Nice group. Westbourne On Cloud Nine would be something I'd choose.

    Westbourne On Cloud Nine is just lovely. Interesting to see how many you grow down south that I grow up north ! Speaks to the versatility of some daylilies n'est pas?

    I really like W Cloud Nine, rich color and soft pattern. Sugar Magnolia and Susan Weber are favorites today.

    Both WBs are dips. Poor WB On Cloud Nine has suffered greatly, almost killed by moles; otherwise I think it would be a larger plant, for its been here starting fourth year. It is a beauty to our eyes. WB SBWT has that wonderful neon green throat, looks like it is lit from within. Signet, yes, really glad that some daylilies can "travel" and do well all over the U.S. I have a number of DLS from colder climes that do great here.

    Love the Westbourne's. Your Beautiful Edgings is really pretty. The color has been off on mine this year. I think it might be lack of water since I was gone for eleven days.

    Ruth, I am happy to post a picture of Beautiful Edgings. About four years ago, we divided it and it has done poorly ever since. That was a big surprise, we never expected it to "sulk" or whatever made it stop doing much in the way of flowers. This year it seems to be coming on once again as the great plant we thought it was, and now we have two!!!

    Westbourne On Cloud Nine caught my eye too, along with Ocean Spirit and sugar Magnolia. I have had the same experience with Beautiful edgings. It was in a crowded spot between a shrub & a baptisia, but bloomed really nicely. It probably got enough sun there, but I knew if I ever wanted to get it untangled from the roots of the other two plants I would need to move it then. I moved it into a better spot & it has not bloomed as well since. Maybe this will be the year it comes back.

    Avedon , you can go even farther north .....I am in Canada

    Beautiful. My favorites of the bunch are Allegheny Skyline and Sugar Magnolia. Ocean Spirit is interesting even though it is not my favorite style. I used to have Susan Weber, thought it was very pretty, but it often didn't bloom at all, and when it did, it had very few buds.

    Nancy, here's hoping your BE will start to come on for you, it is such a lovely plant.

    Signet, wow, where in Canada are you? I have been fortunate to do a vacation on the western side, just loved it, lovely places to see. One trip was to Buschart Gardens. I am spelling it wrong but you probably know what I mean.

    Brad, we nearly lost Susan Weber last year--looked terrible, my husband dug it up and there were all kind of insects like silverfish and a huge black beetle underneath. Susan came back with two strong scapes this year, and we hope the recovery is complete and we can look forward to much more next year.

    How does Ocean Spirit perform for you? Good, strong scapes? The problem I have with Beautiful Edgings is that flower opening is inconsistent.

    Avedon, yes, Butchart Gardens on Vancouver Island are/is beautiful . Hard to believe it was once was just a limestone quarry. I personally live about 2 hours from Detroit , so South Western Ontario about an hour from the most southerly point of Canada . Detroit is actually just a little south of where I am .

    Mantis, so far I am happy with the scapes on Ocean Spirit. They seem to hold up pretty well. Beautiful Edgings can have trouble opening properly, but for the most part, the flowers do enough to make me happy. BE does not get sun here until noon this time of year, so perhaps if it had more sun in the morning, the flowers would open better, but that's only a guess.

    Signet, my bucket list includes more trips to Canada, so hope to see your area some day.
