    Garden Butterfly and Mister Mayor are my favorite of the clumps. Your photo of Mister Mayor makes me regret parting with fans of it. I still have good-sized clump of it, but I envy how many fans you have. I love the photos of Green Icon and Child of Bethlehem. Both of those are so striking!

    Beautiful! My picks today are Money Maker (I love the green throat), Green Icon, and Tahoe Snow Blizzard.

    I see that Retreat Beach is a recent Douglas. Plastic Pink Flamingos, a Wilkerson. Child of Bethlehem is indeed supposed to have instant rebloom. Garden Butterfly and Mister Mayor are both huge clumps. Glad that something was left by the bugs.

    Soooo beautiful, Kate. All are amazing but of course that clump of Garden Butterfly does it for me.! Child of Bethlehem continues to look lovely.

    Nobody appreciated my humor with No Boys Allowed grouping!! lol

    Brad-thanks for your kind comments. I love my EMW (early morning walks) every morning and when it is peak time, those walks extend for a couple of hours but I was rushed this morning.

    Debra, Mister Mayor multiplies so fast I am sure yours will be back to a huge clump soon. I love the many blooms it has every day.

    Kay, you know how fun it is to see the clumps showing out! I am just excited to have the one big bed to give me those! This is the first year Pink Flamingos has put on this show. It is not particularly well budded but I will take this flash bloom.

    Nancy, this is the second year for Money Maker but it is coming into its own quickly.

    Mantis, I am glad this bed was left alone for the most part. I do have some damage but nothing like the other beds. I have many huge clumps in this bed-and way too close together!!

    Celeste, I loved the many blooms on Garden Butterfly today. Every bloom is different and twirls in such graceful form.

    You had a walk? I wish I could walk. This stupid banged up knee of mine is making me miss all the daylilies in bloom. Hopefully I'll be out there again soon........Guess what? I have Green Icon too. It was in bud a few days ago and I don't think I've missed it bloom yet. I sure hope mine looks as eye catching as yours. The wide flat petals and that lime green color are so appealing........Speaking of lime, how does the center color on Money Maker hold up? Does it fade out to white? I really like that one too if the colors hold reasonably well.........Retreat Beach is an interesting new to me one. I'm looking forward to more reports on it.............Maryl

    Kate - So No Boys Allowed is keeping boys out of the angel group? Ha ha ha!

    Thanks Julia. I love seeing these flowers early in the morning. Unfortunately I have to carry my hand held mosquito zapper with me!!

    Maryl, bless you on that knee. Hopefully you can get out soon. You deserve medals for your daylily pot gardening! Yes, I knew you got Green Icon. I hope it looks just like what you hope for. I will have to get an afternoon photo of Money Maker. Today would be a good day as it is going to be very hot this afternoon.


    Debra, yes, a weak joke at best!!

    Kate: My husband has 2 of those mosquito zappers. LOL.
