Mantis,

Kingdom Bound and Every Knee Shall Bow really catch my eye. Any problems with EKSB openning? How vigorous are they?

David

No problem with opening. Every Knee Shall Bow is new. Initial blooms were splotchy, but then very nice. Too early to evaluate in first year.

I like edges and you can't miss them on Every Knee Shall Bow. They look white in the photo. What color do you see in real life?..............Existential Avatar has my attention as does Tina's Siren Song. Mrs. Peepers was the name of a much loved cat of mine. I know it's not a full type bloom which I favor, but how does it do for you?........Glowing Quasar was one I lost to the Arctic front that stalled around here in February. Great picture of it Mantis............Maryl

I agree totally on Tahiti Sweetie, a wonderful plant, it is orange, but a stunning color. 2nd year here and it has become a nice clump, and really pumped out huge blooms. Interesting about Dr Handsome, I may have it coming here soon. Hope I don't regret that one. I like Drew Hoo, and of course, Every Knee Shall Bow is absolutely stunning. May have to have that one at some point. That may be the best picture I have seen of Tina's Siren Song, which has always tempted me. Mrs Peepers looks lovely. I love the color of Regina Sitko, but not been overwhelmed with it's performance so far. Maybe I have not given it enough time, but I will keep this in my notes as a possible replacement.

No fair on being able to get so many photos in 1 message! I have to edit to get what I thought was the limit of 10!!!

I think Every Knee has a double edge of light yellow and lavender. Another pic. Too early to say anything more about Mrs. Peepers.

I was surprised that Houzz just kept letting me add in edits. Nicer to see the pics in larger format rather than in the smaller format of comments. In frankness, Every Knee has more edge than I prefer, but it has opened quite well. Tina's Siren Song is difficult to photograph; blows out easily. Regina Sitko is not great in terms of sun fastness.

So many gorgeous blooms here, i would welcome all in my gardens. Like Maryl, room for more is a problem. I tend to like Drew Hoo and A Lot Like Love the most at this point, i love the form. my eyes need a rest from the rufled edges

I know Julia took Tahiti Sweetie as one of her suitcase daylilies when she moved, and Nancy raves about it. But when I look at your picture, it has such uneven coloring on the petals. Does it often look that way? You must really like Carolina Cool Down this year since you posted multiple photos of it. That one remains my favorite Davisson. Crintonic Rain Dances is short here too, but I really love the colors. I'm wondering about your Strawberry Alarm Clock. Hanson registered it as EM, but it always blooms ML here. When does yours bloom? Mine is putting up two rebloom scapes for the first time in the three years, so I'm looking forward to seeing it again in late August and September.

Strawberry Alarm Clock is always later here. Tahiti Sweetie varies in its lighter patches on the flower. I like it either way. Here is a pic where it is quite solid.

Carolina Cool Down had exceptional performance this year. I had some the opposite too.

O wow, Mantis, your post hit all my buttons! So many are outstanding, but my favorites include Carolina Cool Down, Logically Implied, & Rapture at Sea, all 3 are one of my favorite colors and these have great design as well, and Tahiti Sweetie--so bright! Also like Shout From the Mountaintops a whole lot! Winners all!

Mantis - Thanks for the second photograph of Tahiti Sweetie!

I love every knee shall bow, have never seen that one before. would like to have that one in my glory garden.

Obviously a lot to like here. I have scrolled back and forth several times-you always have some I have not seen posted.

Tahiti Sweetie seems to look good for everyone. I remember Julia’s posting of it. Your Carolina Cool Down looks amazing. My Utmost for His Highest was outstanding here-lots of blooms for a long time. I will be looking forward to seeing more of Mrs. Peepers-lovely color. Wonderful post.

mantis, I haven't had time to post but certainly am enjoying your photos. Wow.....there are so many to love here! Those that stand out to me the most are the pastels. For some reason they appeal the most to me today. Logically Implied and Rapture at Sea are lovely. Every Knee Shall Bow is impressive looking.
