These all look great! It's hard to find one that doesn't appeal to me. I guess my top favorites would be Dragon Nation, Song of the Sea, and Morning Mood.

Is that Crintonic Painted Desert per chance? I can't tell from the glare of the sun on the middle, but some of the pictures on the NGA show intriquing color variations. I always assumed the variations vanished when exposed to the sun for any length of time. Still it looked different in print (so to speak).....I like that deep maroon/red and the golden yellow throat on I See Stars.... I always want to like Mean Green. It just needs a deeper orange for my taste.....Sultry Girls sure makes a statement. Nice one.............Maryl

Dragon Nation would be my pic because of the color combination. Different. I will go and look up Mal and White Chocolate as I could use another white/near white in the garden. I just don't want a "leaner" in the garden if you know what I mean. Mean Green was one of my favorites in NYS as were so many that got left behind.

I saw your response on Boundless Beauty and it has been blooming here this past week but the first 2 blooms did not open fully when they did finally open. Do you find for BB in your garden the buds seem to appear they will open but it takes several days to actually open fully?

I will have to take a closer look at BB when it blooms? It definitely does hang up sometimes (sometimes quite a bit). Yes, it's "Crintonic." A number of Curt's cultivars at some point changed to the preface "Crintonic." In Living Color is another one. Too bad a lot of good names were used for very antiquated cultivars. I think that if you click on the picture you will see color variation. It is not as pronounced as I saw at Crintonic on one occasion; it does vary. Houzz pictures are really meant to be clicked on.

Pray Without Ceasing is one that looks intriguing. I like the look. Morning Mood is one I did look up-obviously not readily available. Song of the Sea is another one I like. You are correct about Mal-I had it at one time but it disappeared one season and I suspect voles.

Pray Without Ceasing is very appealing when it is clean. So far this year, Every Knee Shall Bow has looked much better. But not easy to get pics in this hot sun.

I had Mal several years ago, it never bloomed and then disappeared. Just saw it is an evergreen, not surprised it didn’t last here. my favorite white here Is How High the Moon, yes it is tall and pure white.

Wow, just another wonderful post, Mantis!!! Tiger by the Tail was exciting me, thought maybe it would be one I could replace Parrots of the Caribbean. Unfortunately, same problem. Parrots is very short, plus it is evergreen, I think it is Marrott's, which are almost always doomed here, gain a fan, lose a fan. I have always liked Crintonic Painted Desert. I got Pray Without Ceasing last year and its blooms all looked good to be planted early June. When it first started blooming this season, with all the rain, it was horrible. Suddenly it started clearing up and looking beautiful. Had its final bloom yesterday and in the heat it was faded, but still beautiful. Large flowers for such a beautiful daylily. I always admire Every Knee Shall Bow and will probably get it one of these days.

Wow, so many wonderful blooms! Crintonic Painted Desert. and Goodbye Blue Sky are my favorites. Great forms and colors.

Mountain Orchid is a lovely edge no eye daylily. It's too bad it's not more vigorous. I also like Song of the Sea and White Chocolate.
