I hope you get to feeling better soon. It's lousy to be sick, but at this time of year when the garden is so beautiful, it is even worse.

Your pictures are lovely. I have debated about Ashton's Giggles and Clown Parade for a long time. We grow Philistine Champion too and it has improved over last year's (which was its first year).

Aerial Applique --its best year yet. Liking climate change. A little anemic in growth, but lovely in the early garden.

Lovely blooms today! Hope you are feeling better soon. It looks like Philistine Champion took the threat seriously, it's a really nice one.

Another set of outstanding blooms! My favorite is Gimme Gimme, Gimme....I love the color and form. Just a wonderful looking daylily in my eyes. It looks like you got Isabelle Rose after all....I recall you asking me about it. And it looks terrific for you. That clump of Linda Sierra is amazing. I received a fan of Clown Parade in a trade last fall and am looking forward to seeing it in person after coveting it for so many years. My Free Wheelin may be wheeling out of here soon if it doesn't shape up. It has only increased by one fan in five years and has poor bud count here. I always hesitate to get rid of it after I see those huge blooms because they are so stunning in person and everyone admires those few blooms. Your daylilies are all looking great and hopefully you will be back to feeling great.

Glad you got your rain. I commented on your second post first so did not see your rain statement. I like The Band Played On; it is a striking looking one. And Clown Parade looks so pretty in that clump picture. Is Linda Sierra in a pot, terrace bed, raised bed? It is amazing and the perspective in interesting. Feel better.

I'm always impressed with Free Wheeling. It's too bad our Oklahoma sun fades it out. The sunny yellow base color is right up my alley if it would just stay that way. And btw, that's an exceptionally nice shot you took of it with the red daylily in the background.... Linda Sierra is another one of my favorites. Love the lavender color in your picture..........Maryl

Great pictures. I love them all, but GIMME GIMME GIMME, LINDA SIERRA, ISABELLE ROSE and THE BAND PLAYED ON are great. I have been trying to track down PHILISTINE CHAMPION for a while, but it made it to your trash list. How come?

Thanks,

David

Lovely group of pics. Stunning clump of Linda Sierra. Glad to hear your feeling better.

Philistine Champion in previous years lacked vibrancy. Kay says it takes a long time to settle in.

This particular clump of Linda Sierra is in the estate garden I put in. It overlooks a lower level, but is not a raised bed.

Free Wheelin really needs to be dead headed, as the old blooms are really messy. I don't think Free Wheelin will grow well much north of here. But it is multipying now quite well

Clown Parade is fairly vigorous here. Rita on this forum used to rate her Marilyn Bock as subpar to Clown Parade. May have just been her location.

Free Wheelin looks really good, & I love the look of Asheville Sunlit Rainbow. May be a low bud count, but that might be one I could handle. Love Clown Parade, mine just finished for the year :( My favorite though, might be Isabelle Rose

Gimme Gimme Gimme is wonderful! I'm trying hard not to want more, but it is sure tempting. Great bunch of flowers over all.

Fantastic photos, so many lovely daylilies. Especially love Gimme Gimme Gimme, Isabelle Rose and Linda Sierra. Hope you are feeling better.

Beautiful group of blooms! Very pretty clump of Linda Sierra. Ashton's Giggles is one I have considered adding, I like the look. The Band Played On has produced some nice blooms for you. Clown Parade also looks great. Hope you feel better soon.
