When you post, there will always be great beauty to be seen. This is a perfect example, all the photos show the flowers to the greatest advantage. I will choose all of them as favorites, but with just that nod to Dancing Flamingo, it's such a standout.

Dancing Flamingo seems to have generated a lot of excitement on picture sites. Certainly the pictures are exciting. But I am sure you will fill us in on any negatives.

Lovely--each and every one--but my picks today are Dancing Flamingo and Black Panther.

Dancing Flamingo is sure my pick, what brilliant color. I'm gonna Love you through It is pretty too, obviously those bright pinks are calling to me. As hot as it is out there, you would think I would be liking the cooler ones. They are really all pretty though. Hope Dancing Flamingo shoots up for you next year, I agree it would be nice if it were taller for that size flower.

Another lovely post, Debra. Dancing Flamings is such a beauty, it has to be the pick, but Divas in diamonds is lovely too. I like Black Panther trio and would really like to se "I'm Gonna Love You Through it in a clump. I also like the looks of Rainbow Dragon. a really pretty post.

Beautiful collection of blooms! Another vote for Dancing Flamingo. Divas in Diamonds is really pretty as well.

Lori

Kay - I'd love to see I'm Gonna Love You Through It in a clump too. It's still in a pot after three years and still two fans. Maybe it will multiply after I get it in the ground this fall.

Debra

Black Panther really stands out with that wonderful purple color. Dancing Flamingo certainly lives up to its name even on shorter scapes. One would think in our southern climate they would be like kudzu but sometimes they just aren't, are they? Lovely pictures.

Kate

Kate - I think Black Panther looks sort of evil, but I like it.

Debra

oH ! oH ! OH! .......i WANT THEM ALL ! This is just too hard to pick a favourite I do grow Breakfast at Tiffany's .......so that means I only need to find the funds to buy 9 more . ( from this post) LOL! I have to look them up to see if they could even survive in zone 6a. I am guessing though that Lust Without You HAS to be a Hanson.

Just looked it up and yup it is a Hanson . I just knew it .

Signet - Who else but Curt would name a daylily something like that? It's supposed to be a throat pincher but has yet to show me that trait.

Debra

Another great group of pics. Divas in Diamonds looks to have many buds yet to show. and I see it is a Judy D. intro. Has it gotten to the registered height? The multiple pics are always a pleasure to see.

Julia - No, Divas in Diamonds is not the registered height this year. One scape is 31 inches, and the other four are in the 20s. It's registered as being in the 40s. Most of my scapes, even on hard dormants, are short this year. Divas just started blooming on Friday, and it is well-budded, compared to other this season.

Debra

Bravo on that shot of Dancing Flamingo. Breakfast at Tiffany's is so feminine with such a soft pink. Every once in awhile I'll see a Munson I like, but someone told me way back when that Munson's don't do well in the south. I don't think I've ever grown one so have no experience with them. But I sure like that delicate pink............All your other pictures are great too, but those two stood out to me this time..........Maryl

Maryl - It's good to see you posting again. Munsons should do better in the south than anywhere. They were hybridized in Florida. Anyway Breakfast at Tiffany's was one of the first ones I bought back in the early 1990s at an Indiana daylily farm, and I will probably always grow it. I used to grow many Munsons, but sold most of them as I acquired newer plants. The other two Munsons I still grow are Betty Warren Woods, an excellent performing yellow, and Henry Lorrain, one of the first pleated throat daylilies.

Insider Trading is a great red.

I'm having a little snit I guess. I had just got some dire health news about the last member of my immediate family and I came here to get my mind off of it. What happens? I have no control over this posting picture business either. You've been through something similar last year. It's just depressing.....Anyway, one goes on and looking at your daylilies is always a treat. I appreciate your information on the Munsons. Maybe it was someone else I was warned about? Moldavian? I'm confused I'm sure...... I keep looking at that shot of yours though of Breakfast at Tiffany's and it is just so soothing. I've got plenty of pale pinks (too many some might say), but that one is singing to me. How's it do in PM high heat?...........Maryl

Maryl - I'm so sorry you are going through health issues with a loved one. This forum was one of my escapes last summer. I really have never paid attention to how Breakfast at Tiffany's looks at the end of the day. If it doesn't rain late in the afternoon, I'll look today. I've got to say MOST of mine have looked horrendous by afternoon during the past 10 days. In the whole backyard, Cameroon Night and some whites are the only ones that really look presentable. I've started to ask myself why I have so many, if they are just going to look this terrible. Many other kinds of flowers look good all day.

Debra

You always have so many lovelies that there is no need to pick a favorite since they are ALL favorites....makes the process simpler....lol. Wonderful, each and every one.

I love looking at your pictures. You always have such beauties.

Dancing Flamingo and I'm Gonna Love You Through It are my favorites of these.

Our temperatures started out in the 90's as soon as May hit. My daylilies barely had time to recover from root pruning or being new additions this year before they started struggling in 95+ degree heat. I have a core of really good daylilies that are both pleasing to me and tough, so last winter I decided to branch out and go back to my first love- just flowers of every variety. I ordered a few plants from a mail order nursery called Almost Eden - both non hardy and hardy. The plant quality and selection was triple A and the prices, compared to daylilies, was almost cheap. Anyway, now I have another catalog to look over during winter when my "experimental" bug starts to bite. You might want to take a peek at them too sometime................Maryl

Dick - Insider Trading is a great one. It's on short scapes here this year. I very much miss its tall scapes of the past two seasons.

Maryl - I'll have to give Almost Eden a look!

Debra

Wonderful group, Debra. I'll add my vote for Dancing Flamingos and Black Panther as favorites in a great group.

Brad

Thank you, Ruth!
