Dizzy Miss Lizzie

Not so well known but lovely- Enchanting Emma

Always reliable- Irish Rover

Blooms in bunches- Edge of your Seat

Talk about substance, you'll get a resounding thwack when you remove the flower- Dazzling Encounter

Shabby Chic

First year in my garden - Purple Kaboom

Barely blooms above the foliage but I cannot resist the flower- Chatham Magic

Another magical flower- Kiwi Magic

This one is just so serene- Glistening Accent

Another sultry day as we await afternoon storms, hope all is well with you.

Those are very impressive clumps of Edge of your Seat and Irish Rover! I love all your blooms here. Wonderful colors.

Faboulous selections! My favorites are Dizzy Miss Lizzy, Irish Rover and Edge of Your Seat. My Edge used to bloom like that but the clump got too big. This year, I divided it, sold about half and replanted. I hope it will look like that next year.

Those clumps are gorgeous! I especially like Irish Rover and Edge of Your Seat, but Dazzling Encounter is quite beautiful too. Lovely post altogether.

Irish Rover has great bud count. Had never heard of that one. What a clump of Edge of Your Seat! Does Purple Kaboom vary in color? I see different shades in online pictures.

Beautiful clump shots! Dizzy Miss Lizzie is my top favorite. Edge of Your Seat looks impressive as well. I also like the soft look of Chatham Magic.

Very nice pictures. We got the storms - almost two inches of rain - we needed that. Trees down all over Central Ohio, however.

Such gorgeous blooms, Heidi! Dizzy Miss Litzy is my favorite today, it was hard to pick a favorite. Glistening Accent is another favorite.

Such good photography by you on all of them makes it difficult to pick a favorite. Purple Kaboom and Dizzy Miss Lizzy will have to tie for first place for now..........Maryl

Thanks, all. This is my best daylily year in the 15 years I've been growing them. Most of my plants are old enough to have achieved clump strength and we've come close to achieving the 1 inch of rain per week they like to have. It;s a full time job live heading!

As for the color of Purple Kaboom. Like most purples it is subject to change. I'm sure that if it grew in Celeste's garden it would be that royal purple we all dream about. In my garden it is a more reddish purple. It does remind me of Munson's Purple Twilight Time, with a much bigger flower. HTH.

These clump shots are gorgeous! All look so lush and healthy. Irish Rover and Shabby Chic really caught my eye but all are just lovely. Rain does indeed make a difference.

Enchanting Emma and Irish Rover would be my picks, but all are so beautiful. Raining here in mid-MI today.
