Butter Me Up is a new one for me this year. Nice form, a pale yellow here:

Butter Me Up does fade but it reminds me a bit of JT Davis, so it's still acceptible for now:

This is a new Hensley that shows promise. Does hold it's color fairly well in 99 degree heat. The color is beautiful:

Palmetto Sunrise:

This is another new one for me, and apparently everyone else. What's interesting to me is how consistent it seems to be in various climates. Good color retention and it just threw up a rebloom scape:

Glowing Quasar:

I'm am very impressed with this new one. Has done remarkably well in this heat considering it's from up north. The color is one of those that the camera can't quite capture. It's beautiful:

Glowing in the Wind:

Glowing in the Wind and Dixie Sunrise:

Another Hensley that's new this year. It's blooming as I type and taking the heat like a champ so far:

Reindeer Antlers:

Finally a daylily that David and Avedon enabled me on. It's a small one and I'm hoping it will pick up more vigor next year:

Kiwi Magic: (trying to double)

Spacecoast Easy Rider is my favorite of these. I grew it in a pot for many years before it died. I do recall how sunfast it was in the late season. I'm glad that some of your new ones can take the heat. I especially like the photo of Glowing in the Wind and Dixie Sunrise.

Lots of very pretty ones Maryl.

Sorry the weather is so bad for you. It's been hot here but nothing like yours. We are supposed to cool down here next week, below average. Will you get that relief?

Interesting to see the Hensleys. He now has a separate web site? I think it's Palmetto Pride; so many names to keep track of. Beautiful picture with the lattice background behind Dixie and Glowing! Yes, in many places, not a pleasant summer. Dragging hoses gets very tiresome.

Great photo of the 2 in front of the white lattice, very pretty. I am not going to pick a favorite because I really like them all.

Such nice photos, Maryl! Hard to pick a favorite but I’m up to the challenge today. The top of my list is Reindeer Antlers and Butter Me Up. I also like Palmetto Sunrise, such a gorgeous color.

Debra: Interesting info that you also grew SC Easy Rider.. For a first year plant, it's been blooming for what seems like a long time now...........Brad: I think our weather people got tired of it sitting at 99 degrees every day, so they sent it up to 102 today. On the cool front coming to us too- From your lips to God's ears..........Mantis: Of course you are right. It's Palmetto Pride. Even as I typed it late last night I thought that didn't sound right. Dale Hensley is going to let Faye Shooter at Marietta be his outlet for new intros. I don't know how that will work out. Too bad he and Selman split............Thanks Nancy and Sherry. Considering how the weather has been this year, it's amazing they all just didn't turn toes up............Maryl

I just went outside to start watering pots and found a new one open. It was sitting in full hot sun and it was mid afternoon. I was impressed that it looked so good in 100+ degree heat. The lattice work in the pictures btw are windbreaks we have scattered here and there. In order to get a picture that isn't a giant blur from our famous Oklahoma winds, I have to move most pots next to the lattice.

Sweetest Name I Know:

That is really pretty, Maryl, especially sitting in those temps!

All beautiful pics given the hot temps you are having. I use to grow Spacecoast Easy Rider but moved it out a couple of years ago.

Raindeer Antlers, hands down, Maryl. What a rich color, and not too often seen. I am also very fond of your two "Glowing" ones; Glowing in the Wind and

Nice phone shot Kate. I do like this deeper mauvy/lavender color. I wondered about the difference in colors on the edge of yours, so glad you explained it..........Kay: Reindeer Antlers is a darker red then I expected. Glowing In The Wind in particular appealed to me. It's not one of my fancy ones, as I buy for color first, but I think it will make an impact in the collection if it proves winter hardy..........Thanks Nancy for the comment.....Julia: We will see what the future holds here for SC Easy Rider. It's a smaller bloom at about 5 inches and the color isn't as dynamic as some of the others, but it seemed to bloom quite a bit. However, I have serious space constraints so it will have to earn it's keep to stay. Apparently for you it didn't.......... Maryl

Beautiful collection of blooms! Palmetto Pride really stands out, going to look that one up. I also really like Reindeer Antlers and Glowing in the Wind. Kiwi Magic is a cute little one!
