Little Red Dragon has struggled in our garden, but we finally get to see some blooms.

Lydia' Royal Robe is fairly new to the garden.

Off to See the Wizard is a diploid that was a gift plant.

Priscilla's Dream is a small-flowered diploid.

Ruffled Nuggets is small flowered tetraploid.

Something in my Teeth is putting out some nice blooms. The plant is still very small though.

Sonoran Desert Rose is a late bloomer (just is starting). We registered this one at 20 buds, but today I counted 34 buds on one scape.

Tangerine Angel is a lovely little thing.

Tears of a Clown is relatively new to the garden.

We have had the most trouble trying to grow Wide Awake. It is a beautiful flower, but the plant is rather puny. This is the second one we have purchased. I hope we can keep it going.

That's all for today.

Nancy, Wandering Werribee is really nice, and so is Crimson Stories, but the Bass Gibson clump s my pick.

You do love those toothy ones which are quite stunning. Interesting is the one name TEARS OF A CLOWN. Looks similar to CLOWN PARADE so I looked it up and see that its parent is Clown Parade.

The bloom on Wide Awake is so pretty! I've had it three years. The first year it didn't scape. Last year it only had three or four buds and bloomed while I was out of state. This year it hasn't scaped so far. I don't think it's worth keeping in this climate. I hope this plant makes it for you. Glad to read your registration is doing so well in the bud department!

So many beautiful ones. For toothsomeness, Something in my Teeth looks lethal. Wide Awake is sure pretty, I hope it makes it. I really like Crimson Stories, and the Forestlake one has such a nice color

Sonoran Desert Rose looks great, glad to see it sdoing even than registered. After SDR I m really liking Wanderng Werribee. I, too, hope Wide Awake does better for you.

Nice, Nancy. I had Priscilla's Dream for years. It was very unusual and opposite the usual daylily patterns. On a hot sunny day it always turned from light purple to a rich deep purple. Some years it bloomed just fair one time, other years it would rebloom over and over until frost. And each set of rebloom scapes had more buds and branches than the last. The final set might have 25 or 30 buds and many of the blooms deep rich purple and sometimes no eye, darker than what I'm about to post. Here's what I mean:

I love SDR. Do you have enough to sell yet?

Tangerine Orange is such a nice bloomer - always perfect flowers. We planted it at the foot of the steps leading to the garden. It does stop the visitors.

So many interesting ones! To compare a few notes, God Save the Queen is having a great year here (and not many are), with perfect flowers. Blizzard Bay also short here. Lydia's Regal Robe is a rich color, but bud count was not impressive. But how many are impressive this year?

Wandering Werribee and Dave Chase Golden Glow--any comments about plant habit, bud count, scape height? I've wondered about Something in My Teeth, so will follow your future posts.

Lots of eye candy in this post! My favorites include Wandering Werribee, Crimson Stories, Sonoran Desert Rose, and Something in my Teeth. Lovely collection.

Hard to sort out the favorites with so many bright colors. Something in my Teeth looks good, wonderful shot of Bass Gibson in bloom, and Tangerine Angel is a great color.........Seems like there was a run on Glowing Quasar. I had my last bloom on it today. It's done very well in our 99 degree heat for a first year plant..........Maryl

Dick, I sent you a private message about Sonoran Desert Rose.
