    Third try on this post I hope is a charm:

    Another of my core yellow daylilies. A goofy name but a really good daylily

    Googies:

    Hard to capture the color on this small flowered daylily. Rouge Red in hot weather with more orange showing in cooler weather. It has never failed to rebloom. The color really stands out in person:

    Mexican Maiden

    The nurseries around here seldom have anything that's different, but on a day that was 101 degrees, sitting on the pavement was this little gem. Faded a bit, but still acceptable by my standards considering the temperaure and it already has rebloom scapes up.

    Orange Smoothie:

    Blooming up a storm my favorite "purple" which really is more a deep maroon here. Takes the heat exceptionally well and blooms profusly:

    Mary's Baby:

    Finally a new pink with yellow edges. A Stamile, so good pink color, but so far does fade to paler pink. I bought it because it was supposed to be a good rebloomer. We will see:

    Dixie Sunrise:

    All of these look marvelous! That shot of Googies is my favorite....it's so cheerful, as all good yellows are. You can't help but smile at the name too. Mary's Baby is really putting on a show for you. Mia Bella of Gascone is a stunner. I don't know what the 'bad' blooms looked like but that one is perfect!

    Does Googies have some peach infusion? Grass is green in background, so you have had rain? Nice bright colors. Mary's Baby always a winner.

    You know I don't care for yellows. Google is an exception, what a nice one. I like Orange Smoothie. For some reason Mary's Baby has very few buds here this year, and they are short. This is its 3rd year for me, I think, it did wonderfully well last year. Must be short scape syndrome. I probably already mentioned, but Dixie Sunrise was new for me last year. It did dwindle from 3 fans to 2, but bloomed well, and rebloomed. No idea yet if it will rebloom, but it has been blooming for 2 or 3 weeks now, and still loaded with buds.

    Oh, love Ma Belle, don't you hate those bugs? I never had a real problem with them til this year, seems like the cold weather stimulated them. Or maybe because I added enough daylilies the last couple of years they just noticed.

    Maryl: These are all wonderful. No favorites as I like them all. :)

    Mia Bella looks gorgeous, but I though she was a red last time. I guess the temps have faded it to a really pretty pink. Your clump of Mary's Baby is a stunner. Is that one planted in the ground? And what are the tall lavender/pink spikey flowers in back of Mary's Baby? I like the looks of those! Orange Smoothie is a cutie and looks cheerful and bright.

    Googies is a winner. I love that yellow (and that is not typical) Mexican Maiden is beautiful. Mia Bella of Gascone is real beauty, Maryl. This is a lovely post.

    Oh Oh Oh Mia Bella is really Bella ! If I were being truthful, I would have to say I haven't met a daylily I didnt like......but there are definitely some I like more than others. Mia Bella of Gascone gave me a real shake and I dont usually react to pink/yellow combos or chicken fat for that matter but this one really reached me. Orange Smoothie is a color I love

    Maryl, I like them all!! Great shot of Mary’s Baby. But what I am most impressed with is how you got 14 letters past the 15 letter policy!!

    I’m in agreement, Mary’s Baby is fantastic! I added a Orange a Smoothie last fall, still waiting for mine to bloom, I loved the color. Mia and Dixie are very, very nice.

    Mia Bella is gorgeous. I'm glad those nasty thrips went bye bye so we could see your lovely bloom. Mexican Maiden is a luscious color and Mary's Baby is always a favorite. Mary's Baby hasn't bloomed for us yet, but the scapes are shorter than it usually is. Must be the weather.

    Lovely collection of blooms! Great photo of Mia Bella. Googies catches my eye and Mexican Maiden is beautiful. Impressive clump of Mary’s Baby as well.

    Celeste: I'm with you on the sunny yellows. BTW, Just for Breakfast should be blooming any day now. Thanks for the vendor info on that one......Mantis: No peach to Googies that I can tell. Just a nice medium yellow. We had a little over 4 inches of rain for all of June and can't remember any in July yet. Bermuda Grass (standard grass around here) will brown out, but it's water wise so stays greener longer on smaller amounts of rain.........Nancy: I'm sorry to hear about your Mary's Baby. Maybe it's my pot system, but I don't seem to be plagued by erratic scape heights that Debra and others fall victim to occasionally. Interesting info on your Dixie. We will see how it does here.........Debra: Almost all of my daylilies are in pots, including MB. The pink wandy plant is Lythrum Morderns Pink. A sterile variety of the species Lythrum.....Signet: Yes, too many daylilies that I like too......Sherry: Neat on your Orange Smoothie. We can compare notes on it in different climates. I'm hoping it will be a mass bloomer as opposed to individual blooms. You know, as in effective in the landscape.....Kate: I didn't count the letters. Do you think they have fixed that?.............. Thanks to everyone for your comments.......Maryl
