One More Bud is one of the new diploid uf's we have obtained.

We really like Priscilla's Dream.

Ron Valente doesn't have a very large flower, but the color is very nice.

This Ruby Lipstick was a nice flower this morning. The eye color is never very intense in our garden.

Here is a seedling that is an offspring of Ruby Lipstick. This is one I have showed before--Empire of Dawn and Dusk X Ruby Lipstick.

This one was new to the garden last year, but this is its first flower. It's Umbrella Cockatoo.

This is Unending Melody.

Whipped Cream and Strawberries is a pretty bitone. It's a southern-bred daylily, but it seems to be doing ok.

There was no time to get seedling pictures today. Maybe tomorrow.

I always like that seedling Empire of Dusk and Dawn X Ruby Lipstick. How's it doing this season? My favorite of the registered ones is Whipped Cream and Strawberries.

I like the watermark and color of Melanie's Smile. Whipped Cream and Strawberries is a neat one. Home of the Free is very nice too.

I wonder if Priscilla's Dream will do for you what it did for me. In the morning it was a very pale color, not very pretty. As the day went on, the color became darker and intense and beautiful, exactly the opposite of most purples. the more sun the better, as if it absorbed the sunlight into it. The picture of yours looks like it would look mid-day here.

For a number of years it did really well, reblooming many times in a year, each rebloom having more branches, up to 7 branches and lasting to frost. Eventually it became a very poor performer and never did do well again, hence the past-tense adjectives.

Debra, the seedling Empire of D and D X Ruby Lipstick has been somewhat disappointing this year. We divided it last fall (a little too late probably) and then had a bad winter. We had 3 df divisions and one 4 fan clump. One of the divisions died and another is very small. It is not increasing as fast as we would like and I'm concerned about substance. It is affected by the heat of the day. I'm not sure if it will be registered, but, if not, we have a lot of similar ones coming along.

Brad, Priscillia's Dream is new to us and I haven't observed a change in color. I'll have to watch it. Maybe it's a color changer before that term was even invented.

I agree that the eye on Cardinal Explosion is more orangish. I think that photos often tend to make it look more intense than it is. I have wondered about adding Melanie's Smile. Ron Valente was a poor performer for a few years; will see what it looks like this year. Your Ruby Lipstick looks pretty much the way it does here.
