Two new and a couple of repeats. We are suppose to have storms rolling through today but most likely this evening. Humidity already on the rise. Hopefully I can get a few garden chores done today.

PIEDMONT PALEFACE - off to a great start giving me another great year of blooms. I moved it this spring as it was crowded where it was. A good height for being transplanted this spring and loaded with buds. Should keep blooming through August. I'll see how it does going through winter in its new spot.

ROUEN CATHEDRAL - another one starting today and should last through August. I divided this one and moved it 2 seasons ago. Last year it languished but this year, tall scapes again and bud count down slightly but it will be moved to its final spot this fall. And that is Carnival In Brazil in the photo as well.

TRULY ANGELIC - just keeps pumping out the blooms. I should have taken a photo of the overall plant but I did not "dead head" so embarrassing to show.

INCA PUZZLE - I thought this one had finished a week ago and found 2 more scapes that came up and had been blooming again. This is from today.

HIGH WATER MARK - highly recommend this daylily. Multi blooms today again.

And here is what the front gardens looks like today. As you ca see, I have a lot of clean up to do since I've not been gardening for a few days and deadheading and scape removal is needed. I'm thankful to have had such a great season. Once the daylilies finish, the other annual and perennials will keep going until the first frost hits.

Time to get out and start some chores before the heat/humidity sets in.

Such nice garden shots! I wish I still had that much bloom in August! High Water Mark and a Rouen Cathedral are looking nice in August.

Lovely post All of them are beautiful. High Watermark does look wonderful. A little instant rebloom on Inca Puzzle is nice, isn't it? Mine did really well this year and I was pleased with its re-bloom. I am still finding plants that thought it might be nice to re-bloom. Strutters Ball put up six of them today. I may have a few blooming through August too, it seems.

Beautiful pictures, thanks for sharing! Your High Water Mark always looks so much darker than mine. I love it too - I was just noticing the other day how nice the bud placement is on the scapes, a great trait.

High Water Mark is sure a winner! And I like the look of Rouen Cathedral. Lovely gardens!

Thanks all. We had several storms pass around us yesterday afternoon but we did get two storms in the evening which did not cause any flooding issues. The garden is now watered by mother nature once again. Cool temps today so a great gardening cleanup day.

One of the things I'm noticing as I'm cleaning up is the amount of bee pods which I quickly snap off as I don't need any seedlings. I also noticed today that Winter Treasure did put up a rebloom scape and opened yesterday. I'm really thinking the lack of rain last year and the over abundance this year has put the daylilies in overdrive.

Hopefully in the next couple of weeks I can start the deconstruction of several beds, eliminate a couple of seedlings beds and still maintain my stamina to get this all done before the first frost.

Only negative of High Water Mark is that the blooms are so upfacing--doesn't look at you.
