I know most of you have the same weather-so oppressive but blooms look good in the mornings for a short while

Get Jiggy continues to put out clumps like this


Blushing Escapade-have shown before but it continues to impress


Rose Corsage


Astral Voyager


Remembered Kisses


The Tribble With Blue


Linda Sierra has been spectacular


Big Hearted Jim-another one that has impressed

    Here too the daylilies seem to like the humidity. Of course, there is ample moisture in the ground (more than ample). Look at all the patterns on Get Jiggy! Here there seldom was a pattern, and the color I found...bleh. Big-Hearted Jim looks interesting. Linda Sierra is very reliable here. Are there any other Peat cultivars worth growing? I am not aware of any.

    And a few more

    Boundless Beauty


    FFO


    Vanilla Gorilla


    Wayne and Carol’s Love-I don’t do small and this was a bonus and it is tiny!!


    I bet this snail was hot and tired after his climb to the top!!

    I love the picture of LINDA SIERRA. I will second Mantis' comment about LS being reliable. I also don't know of any other Peat daylilies that are worth growing.

    Get Jiggy looks good. Mine pretty consistently put out patterns last year, the best it has ever done for that. Without the patterns there are others similar, but I like it, and as you say, it really puts out blooms. Big Hearted Jim has really been blooming for you! Love Vanilla Gorilla. It is in my bed around my little pond that the guy ran his car thru a couple if years ago. I have finally decided I am going to fill in the pond, getting too old for the upkeep I think. I have really let that flower bed go and my poor daylilies there are crying for help. I cto mention Linda Sierra, it looks wonderful, I do love purples. It looks ore purple there than I remember from other people's pictures, a good look for it!

    Wow, Get Jiggy is a performer! I never knew that about it. I bought it once, and it died in a pot without ever blooming. I love the photos of Remembered Kisses, The Tribble With Blue and Big Hearted Jim!


    Mantis - White Tooth is another Peat cultivar that performs well and is worth growing.

    Wow! Just wow! The clumps keep coming, don't they, Kate? Get Jiggy looks jut wonderful! Look at those blooms! I agree that Linda Sierra is lovely. Vanilla Gorilla is a beauty, and Remembered Kisses and The Tribble With Blue are pretty ones. but Big Hearted Jim is a knock out! Love it. Beautiful post, Kate.

    Blushing Escapade and Rose corsage are my favorites today, guess i am in a pink mood. I like doubles, that is a really nice double. Boundless Beauty is a beauty, I am afraid it wouldnt open well consistently here, will enjoy yours.

    Lots of great purples and lavenders. Astral Voyager is my favorite of the bunch.
