I had first bloom on Hawaiian Swirls this week.

the purple and green edge on Soft Hearted Mother is looking nicer. First bloom on Claudine’s Charm. Red Volunteer is growing in 90% shade, not prolific but blooms are flawless. This is the parent to my bee pollen daylily, it looks nothing like it’s mom. you can see the base on the bee daylily in the photo Sherry

Wow! Hemstitched is superstar this year. My favorites are Hemstitched and Claudine's Charm.

What a beautiful shot of Red Volunteer. It looks perfect with the Hosta. I like Soft Hearted Mother's lavender color too with a small but nice frilly edge......Maryl

I really like Soft Hearted Mother better every time I see it. Claudine's Charm is perfect, and how could you not like Hemstitched, especially when it is doing so well.

Hemstitched is lovely . the Red Volunteers look great. And I like Claudine Chard.

Hemstitched looks great in your garden! Soft Hearted Mother is a pretty bloom. Claudine’s Charm is always a favorite.

I have a feeling you and I grow our daylilies in similar conditions, as in.....some shade for some unfortunate daylilies. I have so many darn huge trees surrounding my gardens that my poor daylilies get less sun each year. And I've run out of sunny real estate so there they stay. They have less blooms but the colors are so saturated and deep....and, with the third summer in a row with drought conditions, they don't dry out as fast. That being said, Red Volunteer looks great with hostas (mine are companions with hosta as well). Soft Hearted Mother is beautiful in a dreamy sort of way. My Claudine's Charm is way behind yours and hasn't bloomed yet but I anticipate it soon.

Lovely pics Sherry. Claudines Charm opened here yesterday but no rollback effect. Temps are back in the 70's till tomorrow and then back to low 90's again. Overnight temps have been in the mid 50's. What a big change.
