    Audry Elaine McCullough

    Should have left room at the top for names. Next time. The above is one of my core pinks for reliability. Pretty good color retention given later PM shade in our high heat.

    Note the little teeth Audrey Elaine McCullough sports. Kind of neat:

    I really like this one. Got it last year and this is it's first bloom. Seems to be a slow grower, but we will see. Remember it's in a pot not in the ground. So far I'm very impressed with it's face, form, and tallish scapes.

    No Way Jose

    A yellow that managed to cling to life over this past raw winter. Looks a little iffy now, but bloomed well anyway:

    Spacecoast Irish Illumination:

    They all look like big, substantial flowers. Nice, clean colors. I think Nancy also grows Irish Illumination, so it has potential in the North. Vibrant color and nice ruffling on all the blooms.

    Audry is a beautiful pink! Spacecoast Irish Illumination is a survivor that outdid Sweeten Creek for you. Doesn't that one have a green cast? I love the name No Way Jose, but I'm not a big doubles fan.

    Audrey is a really pretty pink. Nice hot color on No Way Jose. I don't normally like doubles, but I have seen several I like this year. Pretty yellow one too, Space coasts generally don't to do well for me though, I have lost several.

    I'm kind of on the fence about doubles. I really like No Way Jose, but often it seems the doubles look either like every other double with only the color being different, or else the petals are wonky and asymmetrical in an unpleasing fashion to me. No Way Jose seems to have a sort of crest thing going that makes it stand out, and that color is wonderful.

    Oh, Maryl, you know I love my yellows so that is the one that stands out for me. Lovely form. But Audrey has such a beautiful color!

    Good news that you can post--like all three but especially Irish Illumination.

    I like your double, Maryl! When doubles start looking like a carnation, then you lose me. Nice orange.

    That is pretty. the surprising thing, Maryl, is I do not usually like doubles, but I really like No Way Jose. Irish Illuminations is a very pretty yellow too, and, of course AEM is lovely and the teeth are a nice bonus.

    If you couldn't tell my favorite colors are orange, pink and yellow in daylilies AND big full faces.......Sam, Kay, Lori: On No Way Jose, I too am on the fence about doubles. I currently only have one other one. HOWEVER, I do love deep orange and after seeing this one bloom for the first time it threw me off the fence. Now I'm just waiting to see about the other stats on it..........Debra: It did surprise me about Sweeten Creek vs SC Irish Illumination. SC Irish Illumination is not the most vigorous grower. Have seldom seen green on any daylily except Sour Puss and it was early early in the AM..........Thanks everyone for your comments. Now onward and upward trying to post pictures.......Maryl
