I can never choose a favorite when I see clumps. Even those I would not normally care for become winners to me. Wonderful photos. Japanese beetles seem to linger for months here. I think I've heard they only stay about a month, but I have seen them since early June. On the positive side, they haven't been terribly bad here. Knock on wood! I expected much worse with our extra mild winter.

What glorious clump shots! My favorites are Light of the World and Isle of Patmos.

Fabulous blooms! Your Backseat Romance looks great. I have that one as well, hope mine will look like yours in a few years! Rambunctious Rosie really stands out. Light of the World rounds out my favorites.

Love the clump and garden shots. Those darn beetles are here working on the same plants as yours. They aren't doing much damage this year, however, no. more roses here because of those beasties.

I do not understand why after so many years of voracious appetites and lots of damage from the beetles, the last two years they have been here for a few days only a very few instead of the hundreds that used to plague the garden. I am grateful, and hope whatever made the difference works its way up to you. Rosie is gorgeous and so is Isle of Patmos. They are all beautiful. Good to see nice big clumps now.

Thank you all for the comments. I have had a hard time getting multi bloom pics because there are so many buds that open on a given day on some and they appear to be facing in so many directions.

I plan to move Crown Of Creation up near Isle Of Patmos as the contrasting colors will pop....or so I hope.

I plan to dig out the 2 remaining rose bushes here and toss. I envy those of you who can grow roses and not have the "beasts" devour them into shreds.

Gee, these are great shots of your daylilies. No way can I pick a favorite, although Backseat Romance is particularly nice....... I can empathize with you about the roses. I don't have the "beasts" to contend with, but there is always something that is attracted to them - from bugs to disease -, that makes them challenging to grow.........Maryl

I'm partial to Jellyfish Jealousy - love those long petals. But all are very beautiful!

The color of Backseat Romance always catches my eye and Rambunctious Rosie really stands out as well. Great shots as usual.

Kate

Beautiful clumps! Thanks for sharing.

I always look forward to see your photos, especially the clumps, they are so beautiful.

Your Rambunctious Rosie looks good. I gave up on it a few years ago. Tired of short scapes, but since then we got a few warm winters.

We haven't had many Japanese Beetles this summer. Hopefully they all drowned in the floods.
