A good rain really makes them beautiful, doesn't it. My favorites today are Fighting Fire and Citrix.

Beautiful again, Kay! Fern stone seems to do so much better for you than me. I guess it just prefers a warmer place. Still loving Geometric Wizard!

We've had a fair amount of rain this year, not too much but plenty. I have 2 with scapes, Belle Isle Sentry, of course, and Waiting in the Wings. Mint Octopus and Citrux are my favorites of all of these. Fighting Fire is nice too.

More beauties kay! I agree with Nancy, Fernstone has been a disappointment here. I moved it, wonder how it will do this season

Today we had a low this morning of 49.F. What a change that is. We have had our share of rain here but also temps going from one extreme to the other. Citrix has always been one I've liked for the color.. Your daylilies have a lot of scapes and buds yet to open. Waiting to see some garden pics. It must be a sea of color.

I certainly like the bloom on Geometric Wizard, and bud count appears decent (plus you get rebloom). However, it appears that several scapes are blooming beneath the foliage. Typical? Sherry, Fernstone never did well here. Enjoy it in Kay's garden. Mint Octopus is one I always like in your posts.

Fernstone has always done well here, and it may be a bit protected by being near the wall of the house.

Mantis, there are three scapes that are shorter on Geometric Wizard and they are o the side of the plant with nothing next to it? I wonder is another plant next to it would eliminate the shorter ecapes. It does put up a lot of scapes and blooms and reblooms and I particularly like the blooms.

Mint Octopus was a very lucky bonus plant.

My favorite of this batch is Spoken in Parables. Citrix was problematic for me as it always lost its substance by noon - regardless of how much shade it got or didn't get, I never found a place it liked. A pity because it was pretty first thing in the AM.......Maryl

Fighting Fire sure looks good! I noticed mine has several scapes coming on it. Geometric Wizard makes a pretty clump. How are you liking Thomas Tew?

Another good looking group! Fighting Fire is a pretty one. Geometric Wizard has another great group. Mint Octopus always looks good. I think mine will bloom next week.
