Orchids and Gold, and Elizabeth Elaine are my favorites. So pretty.

I understand why you like Rudy’s Sister! McJagger makes a striking photo. Is Burning Inheritance in the ground? You arrange your pots so artfully among the annuals it is hard to tell!!

McJagger is a dormant, I see. How is it for height in the ground? The Burning I photo, with the portulaca and fan flower, is my favorite.

Such lovely photos Maryl. The blooms are gorgeous and I love seeing them with other perenials etc. around them. I dont see any pots! What percentage are in the ground? I think Mcjagger is my favorite today.

Beautiful pics of your blooms. Love the Rudy's Sister one..McJagger is quite unusual in color with the red color with greenish yellow. I enjoy seeing a mix of daylilies with other plantings. I am a fan of Carpenter daylilies which I grew quite a few in NYS. I don't believe I have any here in WV.

Thanks everyone for the nice words. I grow all but 2 daylilies in pots, and most of my annuals are in what I call my "display" garden. There I shift things around as the seasons changes. Pots are a two edged sword. They are portable, but lifting and replacing pots, along with the daily watering can get strenuous in 100 plus degree heat. I do have in ground beds that I have other plants in that are mostly permanent.......Mantis: McJagger is in a pot. Since growth is restricted by the size of the pot and also by every spring being root pruned or divided, I really can't say how tall it would be in the ground on a permanent basis. I usually just compare height to my others and this is somewhere in the middle.......Julia: From what I understand Mark Carpenter made a decision years ago to do away with many of the old Jack Carpenter daylilies due to their susceptibility to rust. I buy from rust free sources when I want one, so avoid the issue. Is rust a concern for you in your new home?.... Very far behind in my chores in the garden. Hope to catch up a bit if we get the forecasted 3 days of cooler weather this week-end (80's).........Maryl

Maryl: Rust has not been an issue here...knock on wood.

Thank you Debra. I'm glad I'm not the only one who smiles at the Umber Ella name. Some names are so clever..............Maryl

Your pictures are lovely with the companion plants. Umber Ella and Burning Inheritance are colors that I like always. But, my favorite is McJagger: and that is such a pretty picture overall.

Kay: I know you are partial to orange too. You grow quite a few that have that stand out color......McJagger is pretty, but it has been a somewhat slow grower for a 3 year old plant. But as everyone knows, where there is life there is hope............Maryl
