We have had so much rain here that is is very nice to have a few dry days.

Blueberry Breakfast, one of my later bloomers:

Westbourne's Sunset Romance:

Cosmic Traveler on re-bloom and has put up more scapes:

Spiderman (Strutter's ball in background:

El Desperado (Eye-Yi-Yi in Back):

Shelby:

Orchid Majesty (in area that is leaving)

Some of Garden area in front: Later blooms

Area with Butterfly Season (left) Remembering Elizabeth (top) Icy front and center,(light pink) Sarah Hawes (right)

Possession of Obsession: On re-bloom, has put up more scapes.

Monday, our rain gauge had 6 1/2 inches in it by the end of the day. It rained hard all day long and continued gentle rain all night. Tuesday, it rained again although it was much lighter, only an inch that day, but finally, yesterday and today have been dry. Rain is supposed to be back Monday,but I am enjoying drier weather for a change.

So many lovely blooms! Hard to choose a favorite, but Westbourne's Sunset Romance, El Desperado, and Possesion Obsession are standouts. Great garden and group shots as well!

The penultimate grouping of pinks is my favorite. Icy especially looks appealing, but I can't find a cultivar with just "Icy." Are you pleased with Sara Hawes? Is Spiderman on rebloom? It is an earlier bloomer here. I did pick up Shelby because of your and Debra's pics.

Many years ago someone posted a fantastic clump shot of Blueberry Breakfast and I've always remembered it.. Your picture of it tempts me once again. Also, I didn't realize it was such a late bloomer.....Shelby has wonderful colors. I always enjoy seeing it....I've heard a bit about Obsession of Possession. Seems it has good days and bad. How's it do for you?..........Maryl

Thank you for your comments. Mantis, Icy came from Marietta Gardens. I looked up the original sale slip from 2008 and the name is simply Icy. I suspect that it, like Pink Gingham is another one that they quit selling but have no idea why it doesn't come up in a Google search. I can tell you that the original price for it was $8, and I bought it during my first year of growing daylilies. I am pleased with Sarah Hawes as she is always a nice tall one. Debra's photos of Shelby sold me on it. Maryl, Possession of Obsession has always done very well here. It is a consistent re-bloomer also. Kate, we have gotten so much rain, I was afraid it would kill my lavender which is not happy about the rain, rocks at its feet for drainage or not. I put a little asparagus bed, and it, on the other hand has loved the rain. Go figure. The day lilies have outdone themselves when it rains, I have noticed that but hard to get pictures. Thanaks, Lori

I'm in a pink mood to day. I love Shelby and Orchid Majesty, although I guess OM is more orchid?

There is something not-quite-right about the AHS database. The first time I looked for Icy, nothing came up. When I put Shooter (assuming that one of them hybridized it) in the field for hybridizer, it comes up. It was hybridized by Elizabeth Shooter and they still have it in their catalog for $12.

I love the look of Blueberry Breakfast. Shelby also always catches my eye.

I wish you could send some of that rain our way. After a rainy May, we now are in a dry period.
