Lovely and crisp pics. You have an extensive collection of daylilies. So many nice ones. Nice pic of Flying Trapeze. I have it here and waiting for the next bloom and hopefully, this time, a storm won't blow through.

What a difference in Flying Trapeze in the two photos. I have it too, but hasn't bloomed yet. Also have Tie and Tails, yours is beautiful

All nice pics. I take morning and afternoon pics too. Helps me determine if some need rearranging. I like Mean Green. And of course the clumps look great!

Gorgeous blooms! Great idea to take multiple pictures of Pigment of Imagination throughout the day. Definitely unique! Your Mean Green looks great. Brookwood Black Kitten is a cute bloom, I like the color. Flying Trapeze is my favorite of the day.

I named Pigment of Imagination. I was walking through his garden with Richard Norris when he pointed out a flower to me and described the color change. I told him about an old cartoon in New Yorker - a lady is talking to a painter with smudges of color on her walls. 'Frankly lady, I think its a pigment of your imagination!'. Fun.

Dealing with pictures takes a lot of time, but it keeps one alert to cultivar names. I have a lot of pictures never posted. Perhaps too taking pictures just seems necessary to capture a moment of beauty. The color of Insider Trading is iridescent, but I wish the bloom were a bit larger. And now for the heresy: I have never been a fan of Pigment of Imagination. I view it as a novelty (that many times has funky blossoms).

It's interesting to see your photos from different times of the day. I enjoyed those! But for me, two Emmerichs steal the show: Blood Sweat and Tears and Soli Deo Gloria. I love those rich colors with white edges. White edges are my absolute favorite - on any color. Of course I love Insider Trading, and the baby mantis just makes it that much cuter. In hybridizing, I'm trying to enlarge the size the Insider Trading bloom and put a white edge on it.

Great photos! I especially like Flying Trapeze, Carrick Wilson, and White Eyes Pink Dragon. Thanks also for the day journey of the flowers.

great pics!, to be honest color changers have never meant anything to me, but I do like the way this one fades to a sort of blue. if only we could that to just bloom blue. ha! keep up with the photos :)

Thanks everyone! Debra, I hope you're successful in your quest! That would be a gorgeous daylily. Dick, thanks for sharing the story about Pigment Of Imagination, very neat! I was intrigued by Pigment Of Imagination and knew to see the effect first hand I would have to get it... I found it last summer for $20, thought it was a bargain and jumped on it. I agree that taking pictures is necessary for capturing a moment of beauty - especially in the case of our daylilies, where the look changes throughout the day and every day is a different set of blooms on a plant.

I still am captivated by Get 'R Done and it looks even more amazing in a clump. I love those big happy looking blooms. And Soli Deo Gloria is picture-perfect. Another favorite is that great shot of Tetrina's Grand Daughter.....look at all those scapes! I really love the tall ones. You sure do have some beautiful daylilies.

How interesting to see the color changes, I know some in my garden change drastically. Flying Trapeze, Thistles And Thorns, White Eyes Pink Dragon, Soli Deo Gloria are my favorites, but if I scroll back I would find even more. That is why my collection is getting bigger every year, there is something I find redeeming about every daylily & I have such a hard time downsizing.

Lovely, Laura! So many beauties, but as soon as I saw Carrick Wildon I knew it would be my favorite. It is on my wish list. Flying Trapeze and White Eyes Pink Dragon look really good. They are all lovely
