I'll start off with DESIRE OF NATIONS and a DESIRE OF NATIONS seedling. Petal are wider and it is much taller.

Seedling of unknown parents

Seedling out of Linda Sierra

More great photos! Ultimate Illusion caught my eye today, such an unusual bloom. I really like it. Planet Max is showing off for you this season. Is it always so well budded?

The Desire of Nations seedling does correct a problem with D of N--namely, height. D of N held up well; has that deep purple allure and contrast with eyezone. Fearfully and Wonderfully seems to grow well for you. In 2016, Nancy reported that "Wide Awake is beautiful, but has not done well for us."

The seedling out of Linda Sierra is appealing. I like Linda Sierra a lot, though this was not a great year for it.

Sherry - Planet Max, once established, has always been this well budded. It also seems to be getting taller each year. It is the tallest plant in the garden with the exception of SEARS TOWER, AUTUMN MINARET, and FLYING DOWN TO RIO.

Mantis - F and W M has done very well for me once I moved it to a location where it gets full sun. WIDE AWAKE is a beautiful bloom, but is slow to increase.

I really do like the LINDA SIERRA seedling. It is an improvement on VG Oh Happy Day (which is leaving the garden because it is always short and in the foliage).

The older I get, the shorter scaped plants are leaving.

My favorites are the Truly Angelic clump, Evening Eyeshadow and Desire of Nations. There's just something magical about the Desire of Nations flower. I wouldn't care if it had short scapes. All your seedlings look good. The light one appeals to me the most.

I really like TRULY ANGELIC as well as your seedlings from Frieda and Desire. Great colors.

Many of my short scaped daylilies have left. I may take the rest and put them all in one area. I may appreciate them more.

Ultimate Illusion is quite a bloom! Fearfully and Wonderfully Made is a gorgeous clump. Desire of Nations and you DON seedling are beautiful. Your other seedlings are really good too. Nice post, David.
