The site hates me and my computer does too

My computer is having hiccups so I am trying to post while it seems to be working. Then my post disappeared while I was just starting typing. Better than after, hope that does not happen. I am really enjoying everyone's photos and seeing lots I feel I really need.

Bengali is not quite as dark as Coach's Magic Man, but it has does have some teeth


Coral Fantasy is one I got from Maryott a few years ago. An evergreen that seems to do well here normally, but not so much this year. A bit splotchy here, but may be the most accurate color I have for it.


Giant Terratorn is new this spring. Thought I would try something different for me, this is much bigger than anything I have


Heavenly Angel Ice


Santa's Pants


Hollywood Lights was new last year and seems to be doing pretty well

    I have been having trouble here also. The only thing it will let me post is a comment to a thread? I want to make a post about trading daylilies but have given up trying to figure out how!

    Your daylilies continue to be beautiful!

    Jen, I don't have internet service, it was always lousy so I dropped it. I have been able to post with my phone, but since Houzz updated I can't post from my phone anymore. I have to use hotspot or tether my phone to the computer, but now it is sketchy on letting me do that. Like there is not a good signal or something, but I am not a tech person so can't figure it out. I have Firefox and Google Chrome to access the internet on my computer. Always preferred firefox, and probably needs updating, because I noticed that I could not start a thread with it, although I could post in a comment like you. Started using Google Chrome and no problem.

    Nancy, Thanks...It just should not be this hard to try to trade daylilies LOL!

    I wondered what happened to you since I hadn't seen a post since Friday. I'm glad you're finding ways to work around the problems. I use Chrome and don't have too much trouble here. Debra's Outcast is looking good for you - darker in color than it was here. It seems very happy in your garden. How many buds does it have? I love the really big fang's on Bengali's lower petal! Jerry Hyatt is gorgeous, and I'm glad to see Two Sues growing in your garden.

    So glad you finally got posted. Perseverance is our little groups biggest asset.......I like Jerry Hyatt. Nice coloring and pattern. The color is pretty on Mama Drama too......Some UF's really stand out when they bloom in flushes. Rev It Up is one that's appealing in that great shot you got. Mean Green looks perfect. Can't tell if it's an orange or not. I usually always have to look up oranges on the database..........Maryl

    Good for you. Houzz can be a stubborn host and kick you out at bad times. I have very good internet with fiber optics, but it doesn't help. I suspect their servers are not large enough to handle traffic at time.s Good job, Nancy,.. I am glad you persevered. I especially like REv It Up, Mama Drama and Debra's Outcast. Choral Fantasy was a faavorite of mine and the mean thing died here.

    My eye catchers today are Kierabel and Mama Drama. I always like a good lavender and I like the midrib on Mama Drama. I’m glad you persisted today, Nancy, gotta fight the good fight😉

    Nancy, my Kierabel bloomed its last bloom too. I am liking it, aren’t you? Heavenly Angel Ice is pretty in that photo. Rev It Up makes a great clump. Jerry Hyatt’s color is wonderful. This post was worth working for!

    Nancy and Jen, try using Slimjet instead of Chrome or Firefox. Since I've been using it last summer, I think I've only had trouble once or twice. It automatically resizes the pictures to what Houzz wants and is much faster and very secure, unlike Chrome, which tracks you mercilessly.

    Giant Terratorn is quite interesting. Unusual name. Jerry Hyatt is good too.

    Debra, your outcast plant has 19 buds on one scape and looks like more are adding on, I am sure I counted 16 a few days ago. the other scape has 14. It has not multiplied any, but should be a looker when it does. I am really enjoying it. I got Two Sues last year, I think it would have really shown off this year if I had not had to move it. Some of the plants I moved from the deck never noticed, but Two Sues did not seem to like the transplant.

    Maryl, Mean Green is listed, I think, as an apricot, and it is, but last year I thought of it as a light orange.

    Thanks Kay! Rev It Up started out with a bang, it did really well last year.

    Sherry, Mama Drama really grabbed my eye this morning. I am thinking I am getting too many with that sort of look though. But I like that look!

    Kate, Kierabel has 2 more buds left on mine, boo hoo, but yes I really like that one. EArly days, but it just seems like it is going to be a good plant.

    Brad, I am still deciding whether I like Giant Terratorn. One day I like it, the next I don't, it seems to look different. I imagine it will be much more stable next year. I did download Slimjet on the tabletop computer. To tell the truth, I don't think I could tell much difference, probably because I set my camera to downsize the pictures. I kinda feel like timing does have something to do with it, how busy the site is.

    Julia, Jerry Hyatt did not like its location the 1st couple of years I had it. It did not multiply, and fans were pretty small. Beautiful blooms though. I moved it, and it is a different plant, big fans, big blooms, and it has multiplied. Not tremendously fast, I moved it spring 2019 and it has increased by 2 fans since then. I just can't believe how huge the fans are now.
