I have several FFOs to post today.

Visual Appeal:

Isle of Patmos:

Carolina Sugardaddy:

Ancient of Days: a bonus from Phil Korth, and, unlike many bonus plants, I really like this one:

Rose Fever:

Kay's Faith: bought for the name

Pirate King: A first decent bloom:

Exotic Twister: I had planned to shovel prune it, and it finally decided to have some blooms I like the look of.

Rose F Kennedy:

And Rocket booster has started with a bang!

I live headed 535 blooms tonight. I found re-bloom spikes on Black Fathom Depths (1st time ever for that one) and on the new Spacecoast Devil's Eye.

    Carolina Sugar Daddy is a very graceful blossom, beautifully recurved and delicately tinted with a tightly beaded edge. Size? Performance?

    Lovely bunch. My favorites are the two roses--Rose F Kennedy and Rose Fever.

    I don't know how you have the time or energy to livehead blooms or deadhead. I am lucky if I headhead whatever I am going to take a picture of. I think Rose Fever is my favorite here.

    Mantis, it is an excellent plant. It is a dormant, so should do well for you. It is listed at 33" and & 7", and it at least meets those dimensions here. The blooms are often larger than 7 inches and have no trouble opening properly.

    Val, it is so nice to have you posting again. I think I was answering Mantis when you, Val and you, Rita posted. Rita, I am at peak. To get the photos I like, I have to have the old blooms off, and it is surely easier to do it the evening before than when they are all squishy and messy. And yes, it takes a while!

    Thank you both, I think Rose Fever is such a pretty color, and it is one of the first daylilies I ever bought.

    I thought it was going to be Isle of Patmos for me all the way, but then I saw your photo of Rose F. Kennedy. So it's a tie. I love them both!

    Lots of beauties, I am torn between the beautiful Rose F Kennedy & Ancient of Days. That is a perfect photo of Rose Fever too, lovely, lovely color.

    Thanks, Debra. I don't think many blooms can stand up against RFK. Just a huge beautiful bloom, but Isle of Patmos is a lovely bloom itself.

    Thanks, Nancy, it is so nice when a bonus is a pretty as Ancient of Days, and the blooms seem to be perfect too. Rose Fever was one of the first few daylilies I ever bought. I like that color, and it stnd sthe test of time pretty well, too.

    They are all beautiful, but I think the Rose's are my favorite also. I do seem to favor whites thou, and Carolina Sugardaddy is a beauty. I also really like Ancient of Days.

    As always, more gorgeous blooms and nearly impossible to pick just one as favorite. These are all exceptional. I will narrow it down to 3: Rose Fever, RFK, and Isle of Patmos....but I also love that bright Rocket Booster.
    Not a one here that I don't like!

    Just wondering, does Rocket Booster hold its color all day? I got it as a bonus, and don't know whether to keep it or not. I have All American Chief, which is similar and does keep its color on most days.

    it's the same story, too many beauties to try to pick favorites, but I always love Rose F. Kennedy. Interesting that All American Chief might hold its color all day. In our heat, most reds and purples can't make it. Avedon

    Great picture of Rose Fever, such a pleasant color, and that glowing throat. But my biggest love is Rose F. Kennedy what a stunning daylily, thanks for posting

    Wow, wow, wow, Kay. What a great group from you today. Love Rose Kennedy -- I'm still waiting for the price to come down a bit on that one. Visual Appeal and Rose Fever are the most beautiful pinks, and I don't grow either of them. Isle of Patmos is also a stunner.

    So, I can't find Visual Appeal on Tinker's. Any help with that one?
