Killer-it always starts out with this “silver” sheen on its petals

The old Sikes lovely, Delightsome

Circle of Fire

Almost lost Cape Coral, moved it, only one fan and one scape

Prickly Sensation

And magnolias are blooming in the South!

I’m enjoying your blooms today. I so wish I could see Killer in person, looks pretty intriguing. I also like Bright in the Night, I hope you post more photos of it.

Kate, Killer is unique. I like it a lot! Lavender Memories is nice too.

Brad

Very nice. Possession of Obsession does that silver sheen some too. I am very fond of Coral one so Cape Choral is my favorite. It reminds me of Choral Fantasy which I dearly loved and finally lost. Thomas Tew really does well for you, doesn't it? And, the same thing with Lillian's thin Ice, but the bonus from Windyhills, Lillian's Vapor Trail has put up scapes in the pot. I'd bet you are about to have an explosion of blooms.

All are lovely! What an amazing shot of Thomas Tew. The magnolia is beautiful--such a pristine color.

Sherry. Killer is hard to capture the look of that sheen and it is different-Bright in the Night looks the best it has ever looked-it usually hangs up or is splotchy. It is really pretty when blooms look like this.

Kay, I did edit the name on Cape Coral when I saw your comment about Choral Fantasy-I have both and they were planted next to each other! I love the color but it is a Maryott so may not increase more than this!! I did have tons more first bloomers but most are the older ones or noids-they are really ramping up now.

Julia, Thomas Tew is such a stunner in a clump. And you are right about adapting. I talked to the vendor where I purchased Lillian’s Thin Ice and she told me it never increased well for her-I noticed she did not even offer it this year-I think Debra’s performs well so I am hoping this will get better! And 90 degrees plus humidity is a bummer today!!!

Ah! Thomas Tew is back to looking fantastic again. Such good form and now a nice color...... Circle of Fire looks more like a deep mauve pink? I'm wondering if I'm looking at the right one because of the name. I would think it would be red not pink.........My favorite is Lavender Memories. So pretty and feminine. Love the color in your shot.........Maryl

I know, right, Maryl? You have “Fire” in the daylily name and you think red or flaming orange!! And mine is darker than most in the database. You would actually love its description I think as it is described as pink edged with yellow!! And yes I was thrilled to see Thomas back to his normal color, especially since he threw 6 blooms!!

The clump shot of Thomas Tew is outstanding! Maybe Lillian's Thin Ice will start increasing for you now that it's bloomed. Mine increased very well during the years I've grown it. Patsy Carpenter is always such a beauty. That's the one that won't increase for me. It died all but one fan a few years ago, and that one fan persists but will not increase. I moved it this Spring. If it doesn't increase in the next year, it's toast. Lavender Mrmories and Delightsome are such pretty oldies! I like the looks of Circle of Fire. I bought it twice and lost it twice without ever seeing it bloom. Killer's silvery sheen is appealing.

Like you, our temps will be flirting with 90 this week and there will be lots of humidity, so the daylilies should be opening well.

Debra

Beautiful clump of Thomas Tew, I do like the color better here. I have been sort of wanting Lillian's Thin Ice. I do like Lillian's Vapor Trail, which does really well, so probably do not need another white.
