    Thank you, Debra. I had given up on their posting this it until I saw your post,! I had been just sitting their in that loop they have. That plant is remarkable! hasn't had less than five blooms any day since it began to bloom and Stealth Bomber on the other end is still blooming and it began to bloom before BFR. Git some of that dry castor oil from Garden's Alive...it runs moles and voles away, but gophers are another animal. Voles are terrible about eating roots. It is miserable when they attack our prize plants too. Hotter Than The Fourth of July is one of Wilkerson's plants, and I who used to like only blgals am liking it. I moved Crazy Ivan since it was in a bad place. It has really bloomed well this year. Remembering Elizabeth is a really good bloomer. Thank you, sherry.

    Nice Kay! BFR and Neon Flamingo are both beautiful!

    BFR is wonderful! Really is beautiful as a clump. And what a gorgeous bloom on Bullfrog Kisses. I have scapes on both those here, seeing yours makes me really anticipate mine bloom

    I so hope yours do really well, Nancy. It took three years for Bullfrog to come into its own, but boy did it ever! Brad and Nancy, BFR was a winner from the word go. I was very lucky in my planting site as it has always seemed to be happy there. Guys, I say today that two big clumps that I dug up and just tossed on the ground have rooted themselves like Malaysian Marketplace did, and they have sent up a bunch of scapes. Daylilies amaze me.

    So glad you are enjoying the garden this year. I find that, even with increasing debility, the pleasures of life do not wane. Bullfrog Kisses is an example of a cultivar that can suddenly surprise. However, I would not seek surprises from it here. Ruby Lipstick is probably just too dormant for you.

    Beautiful bloom on Bullfrog Kisses. I also like BFR, Neon Flamingo, and Crazy Ivan. Hope you’re feeling better now.

    I like the saturated color of the eye and edge on Crazy Ivan and Remembering Elizabeth is a pretty thing too............Maryl

    Kay, your pics are fine. I have Westbourne's Blueberry Popcicle but gave up on it last year as it just didn't produce the bud count even after several years of being here. I've seen the oddity you showed on Please Say Yes on another daylily in past seasons and always wondered what causes it. Hope your feeling better.
