Lots of first blooms!

Things are really ramping up here, I have a lot of photos from the past two days. Looks like the season will be good now that it’s finally starting.

Great substance on Wanda Lou Lovely, hasn’t been the fastest grower but making progress.

Getting Airborne having its first blooms here. It’s not it’s registered 56” , probably never will be here. It is over 40” and holds up well in its prime spot.

Sunday Gloves first bloom today.

Blue Beetle first bloom today. It needs to be in a better spot.

Mysterious Eyes with four blooms on first bloom, one has double. More in comments.

    Chicago Weather Master, the daylily that won’t leave. It been an underachiever for many years, I’ve removed it twice, it’s still here. First blooms look good. I believe this is the first time it’s ever had more than one bloom open at a time.
    Tall Dark Stranger, what a performer! It’s only in its second season here and doing great. It’s registered as royal purple, not here. It’s more reddish, an unusual color.
    First bloom on Hemstitched. This is a great daylily, great grower, wonderful edge!
    first blooms today on Anzac, an oldie that loves the shade.
    First blooms on Belle Cook, great Substance, good performer.
    First blooms on my mass of Chorus Line. These are planted in the front of a bed that is near the sidewalk. I think of it as a barrier for my “nicer “ daylilies in the back of the bed, don’t have to worry so much about dogs being wAlked by the house.
    First blooms on Little Business, likes a good amount of shade.

    All so pretty it's hard to choose! Getting Airborne is the shape I especially like; Blue Beetle has an outstanding pattern, and Tall Dark Stranger makes me want to get closer - lol

    Looks great Sherry. It is nice to have some that like the shade like Little Business or Anzac. Wanda Lu Lovely is my favorite of all of these.

    Little Business is very appealing and I like Sunday Gloves and Belle Cook too. Getting Airborne has great velvety color.......Maryl

    I'm glad things are really rolling for you now, hopefully they will be for me soon! I did have several more FFOs today. Tall Dark Stranger looks great and I'm glad you're enjoying it! It's more reddish here too, most of the time anyway. Maybe the soil in western Michigan where it was hybridizers makes the blooms more purple there. The deer got half the scapes of it a week or two ago, hoping I get to see some blooms before they eat the rest. I don't measure stuff, but Getting Airborne does get to the registered height here in my garden - or at least close to it.

    Wanda Lou looks good. I also like that velvety look on Getting Airborne. The older ones appear to be performing well. Hem Stitched looks good.

    I like Wanda Lou Lovely, and Getting Airborne is a beautiful color. Nice to have so many blooming, isn't it?

    Belle Cook is a nice one, and it is a bit taller here this year also. As you note, it has great substance in addition to vigor and a glowing throat. Mysterious Eyes seems to be growing well.
