I have had trouble starting a post the past few day…….trying again.

Lollipop Kisses started today with four blooms…..it wins for best start.

Smurfette had first bloom today. It was added last season.

Stone Palace Trailblazer likes its new spot, less competition for sun.

Mary’s Baby started this week, blooms have been pretty flawless.

Night Moves has a deep velvety bloom.

To Nancy with Love, a gorgeous bloom but not very vigorous here. The same performance for most of my Hensley and Selman daylilies.

First bloom on Neon Flamingo, yeah!

Upgrade is one of my favorite Gossard daylilies. It is a great performer here, has multiplied well.

Luscious Kiss was a bonus, lucky me. This bloom needs to be seen in person to appreciate it.

Moroccan Sunrise is one of the best performers in my gardens.

Nice group. I like Smurfette for the pattern on the sepals. I'm impressed with Stone Palace Divine large bloom. I wonder why you have trouble with those two hybridizers intros. I can't recall if I ever had a Hensley in NY. I had Selmans Blue Ridge Butterfly which I loved the bloom but can't recall how vigorous it was. Neon Flamingo looks to have more openings coming. Hope your weather has improved. It has here.No humidity and in the mid 70's.

It's very hard to pick just one favorite from among this group, but I think my top favorite is Morrocan Sunrise because it's such a pretty color and there are three blooms. I always like your photos of Upgrade, and Mary's Baby and Night Moves are both gorgeous, velvety purples. Lollipop Kisses is a cutie.

Strange that I have no blooms from Neon Flamingo or Mary's Baby yet, but they are blooming for you. Upgrade looks good.

I was heartbroken that I lost Mary's Baby during the Feb. 2021 prolonged arctic freeze. I had a devil of a time getting her again from a rust free source, and ended up with only 3 skimpy fans in a six inch pot. It's just not the same without her here, but hopefully she will grow and make it next year..........I like Lollipop Kisses, and Upgrade is one I need to look up. Gorgeous picture of it..................Maryl
