So Lovely x VT Fondly Kin, 40 inches this year!

Bali Watercolor x Sugar Magnolia plus unusual butterfly or moth. Any ideas of what it is?

Carmen Renee x VT the Last Melon 1

Carmen Renee x VT the Last Melon 2

seedling Sky over Schueller x Spirit of the Dove from Celeste's seeds

Malaysian Monarch clump. It's best year in a long time but still poorly budded. I will mostly let it go out with a bang.

What a nice photo of Zuzu's Treasure! After being moved, mine is short on buds and scape height, and the flowers are smaller than usual. Woodside Amethyst must have liked all that Spring rain as it does look to have a ton of buds. Bali WC X Sugar Magnolia looks pretty. That is a moth. I used to get those sometimes. It might be an 8-spotted Forester.

As always, you have such lovely lavenders and purples. My least favorite daylily combination is off white with an eye. I have Pandoras Box and that oldie is good enough for me in that catagory. But Thomas Tew always looks so good it is an exception............Great color on Woodside Amethyst. I like the white star mid ribs........I think your Carmen Renee x VT the Last Melon #1 seedling the best to my eye just now. Deeper color and the petals show more texture. Nice one.......Maryl

Very pretty Zeus Treasure looks good but Thomas Tew is my pick. Gorgeous clump. Love your Malaysian Monarch photo. Sugar Magnolia is a beauty, isn't it?

Nice group Brad and your crosses look good. South Seas was always a standout in my former garden. . Zuzus Treasure has such a nice soft look to it. I also like Sugar Magnolia with its green throat. We will be dry here for the next couple of days but less humidity for the 4th but the heat comes back again on Saturday and rain/storms predicted for the first half of next week so far.

Woodside Amethyst does indeed look well budded. That should put on a good show! Lovely photo of Spiritual Corridor. I have several plants from that same cross of seeds from Celeste and every one is purple!

Zuzu's Treasure is looking good. I also like Thomas Tew. The Sky over Schueller has a really interesting shape.

Thomas Tew is a great earlier bloomer, and flowers were especially large this year, with every one perfect. Woodside Amethyst is a rich color. Yes, we need an inch of rain a week, and with hot sun, there's a lot of evaporation.
