Wow, what a wonderful selection of blooms. Navajo Pony clump looks so good as does Spacecoast Francis Busby.

Barbara Mandrell just as Kate said bright and unmarked. Rain is amazing.

I could just keep posting, but I will stop. 794 blooms pulled this evening. surely there won't be many more increases in numbers...The early ones should be stopping soon but I am having rebloom already on a few.

Really nice ones in the clumps! The SC Francis Busby clump is such a standout. Ledgewood Pansy Face looks good-I had my first bloom on that one today. Barbara Mandrell should bloom in the next few days. I hope the blooms are clean-haven’t seen unsplotched ones on it. Alabama Jubilee is bright. They are blooming so fast and furious right now.

Thank you Julia, those are favorites. and thank you Kate. I think our gardens are blooming a lot alongside since one will bloom for yo one day and for me the next and visa versa. I have to count when I pull the blooms as it makes it seem a bit of a game instead of just boring. I have had the occasional clear bloom on BM, but the color is so intense too as well as the whole clump of clear ones. And Brazen Bandit s always spotty too. but not this one.

I love seeing your garden shots! It’s hard to believe your eariles will be done soon. Do you know how many daylilies you have?

How is your tiny dog doing, havent seen any photos for awhile.

Sherry

That's such a colorful post. Everything looks so good. The Perseus seedling looks like a very good daylily..............Maryl

Thank you, Sherry and Maryll. Fancy is fine, Sherry, thank you for asking. Sherry, this morning some of the mids and mid lates have started blooming. All of the rain we have had has been an eye opener for how much is needed for .great and clear blooms.

Maryl The Perseus Sandals daylily has been wonderful in our heat and would likely so well in yours also.

Thanks for posting that shot of the Perseus' Sandals seedling. It makes a stunning clump in a short time. I have more than 20 fans of it now, despite sharing it with you and Brad. If it does well in Indiana, I'll probably register it sometime next year. It's good to see Nile Princess and Gypsy Cats blooming for you, and the SC Francis Busby clump is gorgeous. The pairing of Bluebird Sky and My Chihuahua is so pretty! I love those colors together. The garden shots are fabulous. Great post! Keep the pictures coming!

Debra

Absolutely beautiful!!! Ledgewood Pansy Face really do look like pansies! I always enjoy seeing Navajo Pony & Integrated Logistics [both are on the list I don't have!] & I love the group shots! Stealth Bomber, Francis Busby and Perseus Sandals X Jumping Jack Flash are all gorgeous!

Brad

Thank you so much, Brad. Will all of these, group shots are a good thing. I got Navajo pony on a Buy one Get one sale and I really liked it from the first sighting. Ledgewood Pansy Face has never bloomed in a clump for me before. Stealth Bomber is the one I had to replace when two male kittens used it for their "playpen" and destroyed it. The color is very beautiful to me and I will be glad when it reaches the point of having a dozen blooms again. Francis Busby is such a color and always has many blooms, that I can't understand anyone not liking it. Debra blessed me with a start of it since I drooled over hers every time she posted it. And Perseus Sandals X Jumping Jack Flash is Debras, of course. It is a magnificent plant and I can't wait until she introduces it. Her Gypsy Cat is a wonderful plant too and has just begun to bloom. She is so good at hybridizing.

In fact, so many are blooming so beautifully this season that I am going to have to invest in a series of permeable hoses so they get adequate water when it isn't raining so much. The difference in number and quality of blooms (No splotches either unless it is a very, very rare tiny splotch) and much more intense colors makes it necessary to insure they actually have much more water than they have been having. Overhead sprinkling is not good for them. I hope you don't mind this book I have written to you

Debra, Perseus Sandals X jumping Jack Flash has had big clumps almost since day one...I think it was three blooms the first day. It has already increased to 14 clumps in my garden. I suspect it is because we had a truckload of sandy topsoil dumped in that area about ten years ago and I have mulched it a good bit since then. It must like it to grow so well but it is a fabulous plant. I very much you do introduce it, Gypsy is set to have a really good year with the buds that are showing and the many scapes. Nile Princess is a pretty one and you know how much I loved Francis Busby when you started showing it. I am always so tickled when it starts blooming. It was somewhat lucky to plant MY Chihuahua Bites and Bluebird Sky together and thank you for liking it. It is being quite a year. Tart With a Heart is planted next to Jewel of Jewels and they will just get prettier and prettier together over time. My garden is such a reflection of your, Kats, and Julias generosity.

kay

Awesome colorful clumps. It is hard to believe that I have about another month before I start to see blooms. Thanks for sharing. I have bloom envy! LOL

David

Mantis thei is the first time every blooms is perfect on Barbara Mandrell, the rains have inded created "space hogs. Thank you for commenting.

Thank you, David, it won't be long until your blooming begins but it does seem that way before the blooms start.
