A very interesting group. Is Judgment Day blooming well above the foliage? Venom is a Lewis; Lady Tramp a Georges. Nick Balash I find in pictures to be one of more appealing Kulpas. Korth seems somewhat apologetic about Celestial.

I bought Judgement Day this year. Small plants so it will need time to develop next year. However it did have a couple of blooms. I am not judging the plant yet obviously, but here was the FFE on Judgement Day taken late in the day:

Mantis,

I really like the Mike Georges intros. NICK BALASH is one of only a few Kulpa intros that I like. I like that the petals and sepals are more suturated. I've seen many Kulpa's in person and on Paul Lewis' videos where the petals and sepals have a mottled look, which I find less than desireable. Brent said that he really likes BLOOD OF THE MARTYRS as this was the first bloom he has seen of it, because he is always selling it and he only keeps a small piece. The small piece finally reached maturity. JOHN BENZ had a good plant under it's bloom. I noticed a trend with some of the Benz intros and it is probably with all hybridizers, that they find something that works for them and then they have numerous introductions that are a variation of a theme. For example, I look at BREATHING FIRE, REVENGE OF SHARKNADO, FIRE AND WATER, etc.... they have similar looks: red, teeth, slight halo/watermark, etc... It got to the point while walking Brent's garden, I could identify a Benz red intro before I saw a tag. Speaking of Benz intros, I have been debating on purchasing EARL PORTER, as the images I've seen make it look really black. In person, it is a purple daylily. The bloom is nothing special, but the plant under it was spectacular. It had 4 way branching, well spaced up and down the scape.

Judgment Day looks appealing, and so does Celestial Waters. But I've never had much luck with the Korth daylilies. Lady and the Tramp is a neat one!

I love the teeth daylilies especially Venom. I also like Choreographed Chaos.
