Still hotter than usual here. Guess the daylilies like it more than I do. Here are a few that were blooming today.

Both of these are still fairly new here so I'm still evaluating them.

Love the look of this one, but it could use more buds.

This one seem to have hit its stride this year.

Love the flower, but not the best performer for me.

High bud count and long bloom season--a real "doer"

One of my favorites

Radiant Ruffles is a cute one, and the colors of Reforma Blvd. are very appealing!

I like the green throat of Star over Oz so will pick it as my favorite. Classic Romance is a pretty rose pink to my eyes even if bud count isn't up to snuff. Maybe bud count will improve???.....Maryl

Nice grouping. Star Over Oz looks to be quite a large bloom with a nice green throat. Does it hold straight or does it lean?

Nice photos. Really like Star Over Oz, and Reforma Boulevard which has done well for us so far. Wild Horses is so pretty and such a dud here, will be leaving soon. Avedon

Nat, I'm glad to hear that Wild Horses is doing well for you. Here it has increased will, but the scapes average 7 buds which is too low for me. Most of my bud counts seem to be down this year but this one has always had a low count. I have put up with it because its so pretty, but I'm running out of patience. Sounds like I'm not the only one.

Julia, the scapes on Star Over Oz lean slightly, but not enough that I find it a problem. I love the green throat too and it is big.

Maryl, I wish the bud count on Classic Romance would improve. I don't think I can make any decisions this year because lots of the counts are lower.

I counted 20 buds on all early scapes of Wild Horses. I will count on the later shorter ones too. But how many scapes it has? I think even if those early scapes are an anomaly I'd still keep mine with 7-10 buds if there are a lot of scapes. I just don't have anything similar and this one opens well, and seems to be looking ok after a day in the sun (one of veeery few)

I love your 1st photo! That must be a beautiful sight in person!

Radiant Ruffles is stunning! I am not familiar? It performs like a rock star too?! I need to look that 1 up. Not like I got much time right now so if you could help me out that would be fantastic.

Beautiful flowers! I think my favorites are Radiant Ruffles and Reforma Boulevard. I tried to grow RB for years without success, but it looks beautiful in your garden.

Nat, I'd be thrilled id Wild Horses performed like that for me. Maybe Ii should try moving it and see if its happier. I do love the flower.

lalalandwi, Radiant Ruffles is an oldie registered in 1987 --registration info diploid, 24", 4.75" Midseason. In my yard the bud count is in the mid 20s and each of the last four years it has bloomed for over 6 weeks.

Chris, sorry that Reforma Boulevard didn't do well for you. It's not the performer that Radiant Ruffles is for me, but it's done fine and I love the flowers.
