Here are some pictures from the last few days...

Make It Snappy FFO on Monday, it will improve. I can't believe how big it's gotten and how tall the scapes are this year - I planted it last May. Rev It Up is the bloom in the background.


Redneck Riviera


Mr Skeffington FFO


Butterfly Moon FFO


Fabulous Frieda, my favorite red


Rose F Kennedy FFO


Getting Airborne FFO in a sea of scapes (not all GA)


Black Falcon Ritual FFO - looking smokey. It was 50 degrees here Monday morning and I think 54 yesterday.


Rev It Up, an older gorgeous Davisson


Fried Green Tomatoes FFO


That's 10, I will put more in the comments shortly.

    Everything looks lush. Well, it may not be daylily weather, but 52 sounds very appealing on what has been the hottest day of the year today. (At least, the most uncomfortable.) Fabulous Frieda was a bit better here this year, but scapes are rather short. The color is indeed appealing, but it seems to be performing better for you. While not heavily budded, Grace Like Rain blooms over a long season, and it even has a rebloom scape this year.

    How long does it take your flowers to open when night temps are 52? I like the smokey effect the low temps gave Black Falcon Ritual. You can really see it's Trahlyta heritage in your photo. My favorites are Fabulous Frieda and Butter Cream.

    And that is why I wanted Butter Cream! So pretty!! Cannot even imagine temps like that this time of year but you have been on a roller coaster with your temps! You have a ton of buds in those pics! All these are so pretty and it looks like many shows to come!

    Butter cream is very pretty

    I like Rev it Up. Mine is still blooming, has done great for 1st year. Pretty photo of Grace like Rain.

    I LOVE that photo of Black Falcon Ritual. I love the effect cooler temps have on certain daylilies (esp. Jerry Hyatt and Trahlyta). You are way ahead of me with FFO's. I should have a handful opening within the next couple days, my very first blooms. I feel like I have waited an eternity. You know I adore RFK! Almost every seed you sent germinated and they are growing in the garden now. Mr. Skeffington has scapes and I am delighted that it will bloom this year. I look forward to more of your posts!

    Mr. Skeffington, Black Falcon Ritual and Butter Cream are all my favorites of this group. A really nice selection for a start. 52 degrees huh! Imagine that (I can't)..............Maryl

    Thanks everyone. When temps are that low at night, there are some that don't end up opening well when they do open later in the morning. I enjoyed our cooler nights and having the windows open for a little while! Yesterday our high was 95, I didn't even want to look at the feels like temp. it's supposed to be low 80s for a couple of days then warming up more again. Celeste, I'm looking forward to *your* posts and seeing all your blooms!

    We were 93 yesterday, it is odd thinking of you having temps of 95. My younger son moved to Indianopolis, thinking it would be cooler and less humid. Heat is hard for him.

    This is a weird weather year here all around. I can understand the heat being hard on your son, I really don't take it very well. I hope it is cooler and less humid there for him. We haven't had any rain for several days now and aren't forecasted to get any until at least next Wednesday... I hope that changes! I'm sure weather related, I've noticed several blasted scapes (from too much rain earlier in the season I'm guessing) and have also been seeing lots of bud drop the last few days.
