More daylilies that have bloomed:

A colorfast/sunfast yellow: Lisa Apps Sybrandt

Burning Inheritance: Another colorfast/sunfast daylily:

Storm Prince:

Apache Sunrise. A very pretty one for it's first year here:

And finally a much adored Pink Aloha. Somewhat a Diva, but she can throw up the most beautiful blooms:

Goodness that is extreme heat. Beautiful photos Maryl. What a difference on No More Tears. I grow that one here but our temps typically would not reach that high and I only recall a couple of times during mid-late summer where it nearly reached that high. Apache Sunrise. looks to be a nice bright bloom.

I agree about Pink Aloha. Some of the blooms can be breathtaking; others.... Well, Apache Sunrise is really beautiful against your lattice!

Pink Aloha is very pretty, but Apache Sunrise is my favorite, Maryl. I don't believe I have seen it before.

Sunfasts will always get a vote--Apache Sunrise is looking very good indeed.

I love Apache Sunrise! How did it do in the heat? Pink Aloha can be beautiful, and I adore the shade of pink. But I'm thinking about bidding goodbye to mine. Only one of five fans sent up a scape this year, and it is such a sprawling plant with huge fans that it covers up pinks on either side that are producing many scapes and blooms. Right now it's on the move-out list. The only thing that will save it is if those other fans scape later.

I love your sunfast lilies. Apache Sunrise is in its second year here. It is quite pretty. And Pink Aloha is always so pretty in your pics. Haven't had quite that heat yet but have had heat index of 105. Just takes your breath away.

I lost Pink Aloha a few years back over winter. I went for a few years without it until I started looking back at my old photos and, what do you know, I enabled myself all over again. You are right about it splaying outwards Debra. It is what it is, warts and all and I can't make any excuses for it. I've never had any trouble with it blooming though. It reminds me of the Girl with the curl - When she was good she was very very good etc............Apache Sunrise doesn't seem to have a problem with the heat. I try not to expose my first year daylilies to the harsh all day sun until the 2nd year to see if I even like it. On Apache Sunrise, if it proves winter hardy (a big IF), it will be here next year for more trials............Thanks everyone for your comments. I hope the heat doesn't get as high for you all, but if it does you will have a chance to see what sunfast/colorfast is all about...............Maryl

Wow, Maryl….that's crazy-HOT! Some of that extreme heat is coming our way for the next few days. When it gets in the 90's around these parts we can't take it.....everybody's complaining and dying and it's a major news story. COLD we can take, but in dealing with that inferno stuff we are big sissies....lol. I don't know how my daylilies feel about it but yours sure are troopers. They are beautiful. No More Tears looks great in both pictures.

I’ve been waiting patiently for you to post Pink Aloha. If i remember correctly, other than yellow and chicken fat edges it’s your favorite LOL! So it’s a sprawler, don’t remember reading that before. Apache Sunrise is a winner, a great warm color.

Sherry

Your daylilies look great, even in the extreme heat. Pink Aloha is a beauty, always enjoying seeing a photo of that one. Apache Sunrise also catches my eye. Nice group!

Lori

I have to go with the crowd on this group: Pink Aloha and Apache Sunrise are top notch.

Celeste: My husbands son lives in upstate New York and he says when it gets hot people look like fish flopping around in a dry pond gasping for air. Of course it's not something to laugh about really as it can prove deadly for the sick and elderly. I'll take the heat, as bad as it is, to the snow you all get. I hate snow......Sherry: Pink Aloha is one of my favorites. She's like a trophy wife though, strictly for showing off on her good days, then she will be the envy of the crowd........Brad and Lori: Apache Sunrise has really pleased me in the color department this year. Frank Smith's daylilies, of the ones I've tried, have usually been beauties. Just not all that hardy with my small pot overwintering system. Probably do much better in the ground - something I don't have much of............Maryl
