    Beautiful pictures, Debra! Bow Tie Affair is amazing and the others are beautiful too.

    Here are my five.

    Geometric Wizard is one of my all time favorites daylilies. Every flower is perfect.


    Curious Cutie is similar to Geometric Wizard. Both are from Elizabeth Salter and my guess is that they are related.


    The next two opened for the first time in 2017 (planted in spring of 2016). They are similar but I really like both and they look like they will be good performers.

    I Don't Kid


    Purple Maze


    Blockbuster was in the vole eaten bed, but I think it has recovered.


    I include the next one because the hybridizer views this as an applique. (I don't think it is.) Whatever you call it, we love Dr Jules Michael Vinkman.


    Ok, that's six, but I just had to include the last one.

    Such gorgeous blooms! Nancy, I love Curious Cutie, it caught my eye with your post this season. Entwined in the Vine is a favorite. Here are few favorites in my garden.

    Lovely Miss Laucious was a bonus plant and new to the garden.
    Little Showman was new this season.
    Cheese and Wine is one of my favorites in the garden.

    I'm officially giving up trying to write any of these down. There are just too many of exceptional beauty. Am really enjoying seeing everyone's treasures.

    Nancy, I just planted Dr. Jules Michael Vinkman and am really excited to seeing it in my garden next July! Other favorites here are Debra's Landon Lee and Sherry's Lovely Miss Laucius. Here are mine:

    This one gets to shine once again (it was also one of my top purples)!

    JERRY HYATT

    CELESTIAL BEAUTY


    SCREEN SAVER


    CAT DANCER


    SPACECOAST DREAMCATCHER

    Celeste, I ADORE Screen Saver, it's that purple again in your garden!

    Hoosier Nan - I do love Dr Jules Michael Vinkman, and I just added it to my garden too. I think it's registered as an etched eye, which refers to the veining, I think. Geometric Wizard is one that always captivates me too.

    Others on this thread that draw me in are Screen Saver and Orchid Octopus.

    Debra, you are right about Dr. Jules. I don't know where I got the idea of the hybridizer saying it was an applique--probably because Spacecoast Seashells, its parent, is. Whatever you call it, we love the veining.

    Very nice! Cheese & Wine really catches my eye, but lots of these are so nice.I only have two, maybe three. Not totally sure what all is called a patterned eye. Maybe it's time to get Cat Dancer since it is only $5.00 most places!

    Priscilla's Rainbow Huge rounded fairly flat flower, heavy substance, excellent bloomer when has full sun.

    Abundant Joy Small flower, very good bloomer.


    Maleny Debutante Not sure if this is a patterned eye or not. Great bloomer, some years reblooms all summer long.

    I don't have many patterned daylilies yet, probably why I'm liking them so well. So many pretty flowers here I would like to have. I have Get Jiggy and Ruffles have Ripples but apparently no photos. This was the first year for both, I got Get Jiggy as a single fan this spring, it was rather small & I was surprised it bloomed this summer. I thought maybe it was just a small plant, but it has grown a lot so I'm expecting it to be much better next year. I have a couple others like Little Showman, but haven't bloomed yet.

    Billy the Kid may not be quite a pattern? I almost ditched this one when I got it as a bonus when I read on one site that stats had it only got 5 or 6 buds per scape. Thankfully I didn't, especially since the info was wrong

    screen Pattern, I've had better photos of it, but lost most of my pics a while back & didn't take lots of pictures this year.

    I really like Bow Tie Affair, Geometric Wizard, I don't Kid, & Screen Savier

    I think I have only three that could be called patterned:


    "Sundown Ripples"



    Little Witching Hour


    Dragonfly Dawn




  • 8 years ago

    Billy the Kid and Dragonfly Dawn are very pretty.

  • 8 years ago

    Avedon: That Sundown Ripples may not have a color that is my favorite, but the pattern combined with the color make it really stand out......Celeste: Every time I see Cat Dancer I wish I had more room. It's always appealing to me....Nan: I'd take any or all of your top 3 in a heartbeat. Really nice ones........Debra: That is some pattern on Bow Tie Affair. Stands out for sure. My favorite pattern though is on Stenciled Infusion. The ring color matching the edge color is just so neat...........Maryl

    Nancy - You get a much better pattern on Billy the Kid than I do. It was a terrific performer for me (18-24 buds per scape) and should start reblooming this week. I wonder if the pattern will be more apparent on rebloom.

    Maryl - Stenciled Infusion always had perfect blooms. It has such huge husky fans. I was surprised it didn't rebloom. I'm hoping it will have a lot more buds next year. It certainly should have more scapes since it's a rapid multiplier.

    Oh yes! I have to agree with everyone's picks! Bowtie Affair, Screensaver, Wine and Cheese are also my top pics as well as Geometric Wizard. I really love the beautiful blue triangular eye on this one. The eye looks like the shape of a Thai temple against a beautiful yellow background- so exotic!

    My top 4 favorite eyed of this year:

    Incandescent

    Westbourne Mama Kirby Grape Jelly

    Tattoo

    Mountain Wildflower

  • 8 years ago

    Dragon fly Dawn is lovely! I like the color and edge on Mountain Wildflower!

    Sherry

  • 8 years ago

    Get Jiggy

    Ledgewood's Jungle Music - first year showing promise

    Rings of Wonder

    Telltale Heart

    Time to Fly - large applique



  • 8 years ago

    I like Time to Fly, Debbie. I think I have one more, based on what I see posted above.

    Do the Twist

  • 8 years ago

    Great flowers, everybody. Tatoo has an amazing pattern.

  • 8 years ago

    Thanks Avedon! Its pattern was very consistent in showing even for a one fan first year plant!

  • 8 years ago

    Tatoo and Time to Fly are outstanding!
