    More heat and rain have this group looking fantastic. The pinks are my favorites today. I always like your Half Moon Key, and Count It All Joy looks especially pretty in that photo. Marseilles Watercolor catches my eye today too. Did your Moonlit Masquerade bloom because you moved it? My Moonlit Masquerade hasn't bloomed in a couple of years - I think because of grubs. If it doesn't bloom this year, it's leaving the garden even though my husband has always liked it so well. Precious Liberty is a pretty thing. Is it a new one? I don't remember the name.

    There are even a few multis now, yes, Moonlit Masquerade did get moved last year and now it has bloomed. I moved several others last year hoping to improve their areas Precious Liberty was new last year. The hybridizer was from China (thus the name. While it bloomed last year most of the blooms were quite splotchy. This year, so far, they are not splotchy. Free China was another of his beauties. Marseilles Watercolor is a good plant that usually reblooms. Half Moon Key is another really good plnat that just blooms anywhere you plant it. This particular one was dug up and plopped next to the greehouse where it planted itself and has already bloomed while the one in a very good part of the garden has not yet bloomed...who knows why?

    The blooms are still scattered, but I almost took a photo today, Julia.

    Your season is heating up with some beauties. I like Bullfrog Kisses. Unfortunately, it didn't like our climate. I like the delicate coloring on Marseilles Watercolor, Half Moon Key, and Count it All Joy.

    Half Moon Key here has a nice bloom, but low bud count (6) and low scape density. Count It All Joy is my favorite here.

    I too like Half Moon Key and Count it all Joy. Reason for Treason is pretty too but I couldn't be happy with it with a name like that. I don't understand some of the naming of daylilies anymore.

    I wonder if Half Moon Key is a southern plant, Mantis. It has 12 scapes here which is typical, so a low bud count doesn't matter, and it typically does rebloom as well.

    I vote with the group for Count it All Joy. Such a pretty pink. I always like Half Moon Key too. Don’t these plants surprise you? Moonlit Masquerade always blooms so late here I rarely go out to look at as it is usually heat wave time! I had first bloom open on Bullfrog Kisses but like many it was so low in the foliage I did not photograph it.

    That happened with the first several blooms on Intelligent Design, so not like it. I blame the freeze. It finally straightened up and I expect Bullfrog Kisses will also..
