Maryl, hope you are feeling much better. You have some that always catch my eye. Sour Puss is so striking and has that round look I like and it’s yellow! Wayah Valley is one I always look at twice. Such a vibrant color. We had parallel thinking this year as I also ordered Helen Reynolds! I posted my blooms in an earlier post but it is still blooming and really performed well for a first year plant. Glad to see your blooms are beginning.

Wayah Valley is a Hensley. So you prefer that to his purer reds, such as Heartless (which you didn't like) and Sips of Sin? I know that Burning Inheritance is a long-time favorite, and I agree that it is very intense (but was not vigorous here).

Nice post? I like Yellow Truffle, not so big into doubles or yellows, but that one looks perfect. And Rudy's Sister looks good, what a green eye. Burning Inheritance really grabbed my attention.

Maryl - What beautiful photos! Burning Inheritance is the one that stands out most to me. I do like that intense color. Rudy's Sister looks so pretty with the flowers in back of it. What are those flowers?

Debra

I love Dutch Yellow Truffle, such a perfect double and a nice yellow. Helen Reynolds was nice addition to your garden, love tht green throat too. Glad to hear you are smitten by Rudy’s Sister, me too. The shape add some dimension to the garden.

Sherry

Dutch Yellow Truffle is a very nice double. I also like the green throat on Ruby's Sister. Burning Inheritance is, indeed, a glowing color.

Nancy

Lovely grouping of pics and vibrant in color. We almost reached 90 here today.

Kate: I'm sorry I missed your post of Helen Reynolds. Great minds think alike. In the pictures I'd seen it looked more true pink, but here in my garden, it's more a salmon shade of pink. Nice enough though..........Mantis: Sips of Sin is budded up but not in bloom yet. I liked the color last year, we will see about this year. Remember, my first love were red roses (eg: Chrysler Imperial, Veteran's Honor et al). Daylilies deal with a different set of genetics to produce their own shades of red. Trying to compete with my "first love" (the red of a rose) is hard. btw: I am trialing another Hensley red this year. So we will see what it does............Nancy: I was surprised to learn that many daylily people don't care for yellow. And daylilies do that color so wonderfully. You spotted the green in Rudy's Sister. You ought to see it back lit - the green mid ribs looking radioactive. It is a yellow with a difference........Debra. Thanks for the comments. The flowers in back are Lythrum Morden's Pink. A non invasive cultivar that is very hard to find now days. The why of that I won't go into. I literally googled all the mail order nurseries I could find this spring trying to find someone who would mail me that cultivar. No luck. If anyone ever sees that cultivar for sale, I'd be happy to give a bird dog fee for the information if successfully purchased.........Nancy: I thought you grew Burning Inheritance at one time. I can't imagine Bob not being drawn to it -lol.........Julia: We've been blessed with cooler weather after reaching 97 Tuesday, but along with that comes rain. So no garden time to use the cooler weather in. I know you aren't a fan of the heat either..........Sherry: You hit the Nail on the head with a different shape adding interest to the garden. But it has to be that shape - I'm still not a fan of floppy or up/down twisted petal formations.............Thanks to everyone for looking...............Maryl

Thanks Kay. I know you and I both like orange. Burning Inheritance at its best is a bit more saturated then Muy Caliente, but both thrill me. As a friend of mine who has BI said, it takes her breath away when she sees its first bloom in the morning.........Maryl
