I love Armed to the Teeth. Pinks used to be my favorites but I'm drawn to the reds now. You have beautiful daylilies Debra.

jakyd - Armed to the Teeth does have plenty of bite, but it's not as pretty as I thought it would be. I'm crossing it with toothy reds I like better and will probably sell it next year. Thanks for the comments! I still love pinks a lot, but I crave reds on hot days.

Debra

You know I love the pinks, so I'm happy to see them...... River City Pier Surfer is a nice Buntyn. Buntyn's usually have substance if nothing else. Yours seems to be especially happy in your garden. Are you liking it?..........Forever Redeemed is an eye catcher. There is a red you show every year that is similar to it and All American Chief. Bright red/big yellow throat. Whatever it is it blooms late for you. Do you happen to know which one I'm thinking about?.......Maryl

Maryl - I know what you really want to know about River City Pier Surfer. It melts on afternoons in the 90s. I do like the bloom, but it multiplies slowly and never has as many buds as I would like. I think the red you're thinking about is Cherokee Star. It started blooming a couple of days ago, but it's on such short scapes that I probably won't photograph it this season. Although it's a dormant, this crazy weather put the whammy on it. Some of the scapes are barely more than a foot high.

Debra

Forever Redeemed is my pick. :) As always, great group of pics.

Debra, my favorite today is your last garden shot, so many nice ones!i like Divas and diamonds a lot, noticed it on previous posts somewhere, Love it’s pink. I’m glad you posted Gently Down the Stream, I got that as a bonus from Bonnie this spring, I like the color of yours and hope it does well here..

Forever Redeemed is beautiful, as always.. I like Divas With Diamonds well enough to have it on my list, and River City Pier Surer is a beauty. I like it even if it does melt i n the heat. Neon Flamingo s always a beauty, and I can see why the Small World Snow Owl is growing on you. Whites are a needed foil for colors and beautiful on their own. Coastal Grand is a lovely clump.

I have been having trouble posting too, took 3 times. And yesterday's post I made has disappeared when I added a comment this morning.

I love your garden shots. Francis Busby really stands out nicely in that first one. Forever Redeemed is beautful, and I like Armed to the teeth, although I would like it even more if it were more true red. Divas in Diamonds is very pretty

Gorgeous garden shots! Dance Again really glows in that last garden photo. My other favorites include Neon Flamingo, Old Time Italian, and Texas Blue Eyes.

Debra: You tickle me. Of course that's what I mean on River City PS..........That's it! Cherokee star! . I wrote it down in my permanent record. I have always looked forward to it from you not only for it's wow power but because it blooms so late for you. I've really never noticed the problem of scape height which you and some others have. Don't know why, but if you have a decent bloom of Cherokee Star, I am not picky about "mug shots" so post it anyway if you can............Maryl

Sherry - I bought Gently Down the Stream from Bonnie. The color is very nice, but it's been short both years I've had it. It does multiply well.

Nancy - It took me three times to post today too.

Kay - Most of them do melt in the heat. Maryl is always looking for those that don't. It was so cool here today I thought I had been transported to Michigan or Wisconsin. I wish it could be like this everyday in summer.

Debra

Debra, thanks for the info on Gently Down the Stream, height isn’t an issue for me, glad you like the color. Nothing gets as tall as stats say for me.

Sherry

Maryl - I'll get a pic of Cherokee Star when some of the taller scapes bloom.

Debra

Oh, no, Small World Snow Owl on the move-out list. Well at least I got to see it growing in your garden, wish it would do better for you, for it is a beauty. Divas In Diamonds has always appealed to me and Neon Flamingo has lots of color. Great clump shots, really show off your flowers.

I love the group shots, especially the first one. Forever Redeemed and SC Francis Busby are my faves.
