I had some more first blooms today. It was miserable outside today….. I think Kay and Kate sent some extra heat and humidity my way : )

Here Lies Butch had two blooms it’s first day….this one was perfect. I strongly dislike the name of this daylily.

Still the One is fairly new here.

Happy Apache….this is pretty good for its first bloom.

Baby Blue Eyes….love the colors on this one, it was a bonus a few years ago.

Mage Quest is my only applique daylily.

Stone Palace Divine with an excellent first bloom.

Toward the Blue had its first bloom Yesterday.

I had to include this photo, a double for Neon Flamingo the second bloom day, I think this is my new favorite……love the size and ”in your face” bright color.

How nice, Sherry. I hope you enjoy the stinking humidity. WE have had a few days with lower humidity, but that is over tomorrow. I've always liked Happy Apache and Baby Blue Eyes and those are very pretty. Neon Flamingo looks so good, but my favorite is Mage Quest.

I'm glad to see you are getting beautiful blooms on Neon Flamingo. I think that pic may be my favorite. Still the One and Happy Apache appeal to me too. I've always liked your Mage Quest.

Really a good picture of Neon Flamingo. The heat has washed mine out a bit.

Here Lies Butch catches my attention. The edge is what does it for me...... Sorry about your humidity. It makes a big difference in how pleasant or unpleasant it is outside regardless of what the thermometer reads...................Maryl

Nice photos. Mage Quest and Neon Flamingo look very good. Your not alone with the humidity. We are under a heat advisory today as we go to mid 90s. Stay cool.

Sherry, I can take the heat so much better without the humidity although I try to stay out of both! It truly leaves only a couple of early morning work hours out of the day.

You have so many striking ones here. I agree your Neon Flamingo takes the prize. Still the One is pretty and your Happy Apache always supplies a stand out look. I agree with you on the name of Here Lies Butch although I think I remember you have a more personal reason to dislike the name. :( That being said, because of all our rain, it looked the best it ever has in my garden this year. When it is pretty, it is really pretty!

Kate, what a good memory…….my son had a beloved bulldog named Butch…… that plant has never had a name tag near it.

Maryl, you would love Butch in person, that edge is a fat bubbly one
