    You have some amazing clumps, beginning with Philistine Champion, then Clown Parade and Little Light of Mine, they all look wonderful. Love the 3some of RFK.

    Thank you, Nancy. There was actually a clump of JFK, but the threesome made a better photo;

    Never say sorry for showing such great blooms Kay! Always love to see what everyone is growing . Just adding Rose F.Kennedy this year so excited to see what it will look like here.

    Favourites are Philistine Champion and Clown Parade and Laurelwood's Spotted Tarantula and lastly Handwriting on the Wall

    Phillistine Champion is the champ among your clumps for me today. I was wondering when we'd see Little Light of Mine. It always makes a pretty clump. Clown Parade looks terrific too! My favorite of the singles is Handwriting on the Wall. The landscape shot that wows me the most is the Front Right Bed with those bright reds front and center!

    Wow, Kay, peak already! I love those garden shots. Such wonderful clump shots today. I think Clown

    Parade is my favorite today, hard to choose!

    I was wondering how Judge Judy would look in the garden............On your last garden shot what is that tall purple with big yellow center (I think it's a UF)..............Maryl

    Wonderful clumps!! And of course love the garden shots. Once it starts, it really goes by fast toward the peak doesn’t it? I wondered where Pink Tarantula was!! They all look good but that clump shot of Philistine Champion is just wonderful.

    I agree with Signet--there can never be too many daylily photos. Your clumps are amazing! Philistine Champion and Little Light of mine are sure show-offs in a clump. And of course, Clown Parade is always lovely. We just added Rose F. Kennedy (we grow the tet version) and can't wait to see it bloom. I love the garden shots also.

    Keep those pix coming!

    Lovely garden pics Kay. So many lovely ones to see. RFK looks especially good as a trio. Little Light Of Mine looks great as a clump as does Philistine Champion.

    Thank you all for looking and commenting. Sherry my first blooms were very early, then the cool snap slowed everything down. Clown Parade is my spouse's favorite of all. so I am glad it does well here.

    Maryl That is Grape Twister if you mean the single one. Judge Judy s another nice large one.and is in the second of the garden photos, on the left behind the purple clematis.

    Yes, Kate, once it starts it quickly goes on, Today was the first one of Pink Tarantula, and I was glad to see it. Ah yes, a yellow, I see. We all tend to really like our favorite color, but PC does make wonderful clumps.

    Thanks you, Nancy Clumps are always favorites, aren't they? I love them wherever they are.. Thanks you, Julia. Do let me know about PC. I will be happy to send a replacement if you want it. Even though it was northern bred it has always done well here. New York Rita sent me my initial start of it, and you know how long ago she left the forum.

    Philistine Champion can be quite showy. As you have noted, one has to wait though. After five years of waiting for RFK, I think she is adding another fan. At that rate, I will be in the nursing home before she is clump strength.

    Kay, I can't even wrap my mind around the fact that you are already at a peak. What is that tall purple trio in the last garden shot? I love all the garden shots and clump photos.

    And don't worry, you can't overload us with pictures. We'll take all you show and love them!

    I am sorry your RFK is sssssslow to increase, Manits. I started with one fan and gave a few away and there are either 12 or 13 fans now. You are right about Philistine Champion...It is such a large bloom and I will always be thankful for New York Rita sharing it. I am looking forward to seeing how your Stop The Car is doing this year,.


    Brad, it begins early and ends probably while you are peaking. I hope Catastrophe Waitress does well for you.
