Debra never said Entwined in the Vine was NOT an excellent grower. She said she had it planted in part shade for hybridizing purposes. Other daylilies were shading it. It never had a chance to be an excellent grower here because it was not planted in optimum conditions. I object to you saying I have bad mouthed that plant in any way. It's gorgeous, and I love it. I merely said mine doesn't perform as well as Kate's. It is a large clump now that I've sold off part of Sangria with Mia, and should have plenty of blooms this season.

Broken Chains looks good to me. Why don't you know what you think of it?

My favorite is entwined In the vine, I will be interested in how it does for you. Now, I know exactly what I think about Broken Chains. I love it, I have a real fondness for dark daylilies, those with watermarks, and those with light edges. Add in tall and good branching and must be a winner. I know that look might be blotchy, that could be a problem if it is one of those.

Interesting that you Entwined in the Vine is blooming and mine just had its first blooms today. Of course, mine is actually two weeks late and I was beginning to wonder about it. If pictures post, I plan on posting the clump shot of it tonight. I also like Broken Chains. Picture looks good to me. Edging looks good and color is striking in your photo.

Some early beauties, Mantis. Entwined in the Vine is my favorite of these. The blooms are really beautiful.

How did you find customer service, Mantis?

Nice group of blooms! My favorites are Jessica Lynn Bell and Broken Chains.

Support.houzz.com Debra, I said that Rita badmouthed it, mainly because of her personal tastes. Yes, I recall your saying that location was a factor in a lesser performance. Entwined is a new arrival, so is blooming in a pot.

The only way I could post pictures is a few at a time, then editing with a few more, then editing with a few more. Frustrating!

Broken Chains is simply too new (in a pot). I would prefer it to open earlier in the morning.

If you want Houzz to make adjustments, you should make your voice heard.

Thanks for sending the message to customer support. If I have any problems I will do the same.

I sent a message to Houzz about my frustrating experiences this week. I've tried to post photos five times today without success. I was unable to even post one at a time.

Broken Chains is lovely! I also like Jessica Lynn Bell and Chico Tim.

Lots of great looking blooms! Broken Chains is beautiful and on my list of wants, but I will wait 'til the price comes down. Sorry to hear that is it not an EMO - I'm surprised, since she lists it as being one.

Your first blooms look terrific. You're off to a good start. I also sent a complaint to the Houzz gods but I wonder if they even care what we think. My daylilies will be starting in a matter of weeks and now I wonder if anyone will even stick around to see them (assuming I can even post!). I would hate for everyone to leave.

Broken Chains looks like it has potential. Form is good and color is solid, so time will tell......Thanks to all who write Houzz. I doubt if anything will happen over the week-end. Hopefully they will rectify the problem of posting. I bet they aren't gardeners even, just tech people. No gardener would change proven picture posting routines during prime blooming season........Maryl

Very nice daylilies, enjoy them all. Favorite is Entwined In The Vine, really looks good. EITV is new for me, way too pale because of the heat, so I definitely like looking at yours. BTW, thanks for the tip about the earwigs.
