Daylily explosion

So many first blooms in my back gardens this morning. Had some rain last night, it is cloudy this morning.

This is Fernstone first season in my garden, thanks to Laura! The firust couple blooms were absolutely ruined by two days of heavy rain and wind. Got a great bloom today.

Tyger River, first bloom today, this one always looks great, not grown in an ideal spot.

More in comments, don’t want to push my luck.

    I’ve added a few “ Returns” daylilies in my gardens in an effort to extend bloom time here.

    Stephanie Returns, I really like this small flowered one in the front of the border here.
    passionate Returns is a wonderful roses red.
    first bloom on Wanda Lou Lovely on a heavy dew morning. The look of this one will change, the eye is bigger sometimes.
    Mysterious Eyes looking good today. The first bloom this season was really pale and a mess from all day rain and wind.
    A poly, first bloom on Destined to See.
    First bloom on Orchid Octopus, looking for better ones later in the season.

    It's a two-way tie for my favorite today: Tyger River and Wanda Lou Lovely. Mysterious Eyes and Destined to See are also beautiful!

    Orchid Octopus is an oddity and I like it, Sherry! Polys are always a pleasure and Destined to See is a lovely bloom. Fernstone is usually my first to bloom and a wonderful plant. And Stephanie Returns is a neat little bicolor. Nice post.

    I really like Wanda. I remember that one from last year, right? And although not usually a fan of smaller ones, Stephanie Returns looks pretty.

    Yes, Kate Wanda had her first blooms here last season, she took two seasons to bloom here, worth the wait!

    Stephanie Returns is a neat little flower. You don't see many reverse bicolors. I also like Mysterious Eyes.

    Love Stephanie Returns, best picture I have seen of it. Does it return well for you?Fantastic poly on Destined To See.

    My Destined to See have been rather pale, so that weather may have been a factor in producing your rich colors. Your clean Mysterious Eyes reminds me that this is a good year for many Stamiles.

    Avedon, I added a Stephanie late last summer, got it at my favorite local nursery so we will find out this year about rebloom.

    Mantis, Destined to See has been here three full seasons and has never been pale for me.

    Those are some really nice ones Sherry. I like the bold colors the best. Wanda Lou and Tyger River are in my top 2, with Stephanie Returns bringing in 3rd. She is an unusual color...........Maryl

    Stephanie Returns is very different. I like it. Wanda Lou catches attention

    Looking good, Sherry. You are ahead of me again this year.....lol. I got a couple first blooms but there's a gap between the real deal so I have to wait. So happy for you that your off to a great start!

    Fernstone is my favorite of these. Glad you finally got one that didn't get ruined.
