Luscious and lots more

Luscious Kiss had its FFE yesterday. It’s so nice to have a first bloom look this good.

Still the One had FFE this week. I moved this one and it took an extra season to settle in, glad it finally bloomed. Photos I’ve seen show this daylily with varying degrees of color saturation, this is on the lighter side.

Blue Beetle is not in a great spot but each bloom is perfect.

To Nancy With Love was added last season.

Here Lies Butch bloomed today. He took the season off last year, most likely didn’t like my moving it again. Butch has big chicken fat edges but each bloom it’s had has been perfect every time.

Undercurrent is not fond of the unseasonable heat, loses it substance by the end of the day. It has rebloomed for me twice in past few summers.

Flutterbye is a favorite, it will always be in my garden.

I love Luscious Kiss and Blue Beetle! Flutterbye is a classic because of its beautiful color. Here Lies Butch has a lovely double edge.

I agree with Debra on Luscious Kiss and Blue Beetle. We received Luscious Kiss as a bonus last season and we have been very happy with it.

Lucious Kiss is a pretty one and I really like Still The One (nice name too) Here Lies Butch is quite pretty today. I don't ususally like "chicken fat, but this one does it well. Blue Beetle is an awfully pretty bloom with that name. Lovely large eye too.

Nancy, my Luscious KISS was a bonus too, I bet we ordered from the same vendor.

Beautiful bunch! Love Still the One, so beautiful. And how gorgeous and well open is Here Lies Butch! Blue Beetle is really pretty too. Yes, Undercurrent reblooms sometimes. Losing substance / melting does not bother me as much as splotchiness and poor opening, because most of mine do.

Flutterbye is always pretty. I agree about Luscious Kiss-great color. I am moving my Here Lies Butch this year-has never performed well where it is. You have a great shot of it. Has Blue Beetle doubled for you yet?

I love the bright yellow and pink colors on Still The One. I have to go along with everyone else on Luscious Kiss. It's Luscious. I also like To Nancy With Love. Those peachy pastel colors are growing on me and with the refined eye color of Nancy it just looks sweet...........Maryl

Kate, Blue Beetle was added as a single fan in spring of 2018. It’s growing in a pretty bad place but is two fans this spring. This may sound weird but I don’t need every daylily to grow huge fast, limited room here.

Nat, I agree with you, splotchy blooms is the worst thing for me to see here. Undercurrent has been a great plant.
