Wow. What a nice group of daylilies in your border. I can't name a favorite, although Creature of the Night and American Chief are really showing off. Congratulations on a great set of bloomers for Independence Day...............Maryl

Your border is beautiful! Thanks for sharing your photos!

Spider Man had a great year here. One often forgets how noteworthy are some oldies. Vampire Fish looks good too.

Spider Man is definitely the most vigorous Daylily I have.

These just had first flowers today, July 5:

Heavenly Bombshell

Giant Armadillo

Yes, this is cottage style, in the genre of anything I like that is large and bold.

These are all looking good. Spider man is showing out. Heavenly Bombshell is a bright one. What a great border bed!

Brad, of the purples and lavenders, which in your opinion are the largest and brightest of them? It seems to me the few bright ones I have seen online have some kind of gradation in color from lighter insides to darker outsides that makes them seem brighter. Otherwise, even the richly colored purples still seem matte to me.

I like your fireworks! Since I am almost always partial to bicolors, your Heavenly Bombshell really appeals to me. And I do like Flamingo Kisses. Probably, your first photo, the one with Vampire Fish, is my favorite but bed shots always take the prize.

Kay, I agree that bed shots are the best. I kind of wish more people would do them instead of closeup full-frame pics. Context matters.

Chamae

Chamae, Laura Harwood, though for me not real tall, really shows up well because it has a large yellow throat to contrast with the purple. Liberty Banner is a reddish purple that does the same. Since you have a lighter color brick for background, a large dark purple might work too, like Applique. Or even Bali Watercolor.

Brad

You have a nice assortment. The yellows and red always catch my eye. .From Brads suggestion, i am in zone 5 , Laura Harwood is a great performer here.
