Went to the gym, worked out, walked two mile, then came home and started putting out new mulch after weeding the jungle from all the rain.

But a FFO today, Delayed Arrival puts in it's first Appearance:

Lily Dache is an oldie, but an excellent bloomer:

Handwriting On The Wall had a triple-play:

Red Slippers on Re-bloom:

Songwriter is beautiful on Re-bloom with slugs gone:

Arctic Lace a wonderful Re-bloomer here:

Forsyth's Peekaboo:

    Handwriting on the Wall really jumps out. I also like Peekaboo. What Forsyths would you recommend (other than, of course, Ace of Hearts)?

    I want the pinks -- Songwriter and Delayed Arrival. I love Arctic Lace and can only imagine how much better it would be with rebloom.

    Mantis, I have a number of Forsyth's and they all tend to do well here. Garrett mason is probably the prettiest of his blooms. Ace of Hearts and Eyes of Distinction have done well from the first year. It took Peekaboo a couple of years to put out a lot of blooms. It also re-blooms. I suspect you would like Garrett Mason the best.

    Chris, it has always re-bloomed here, but Debra said it had never re-bloomed for her...and you can see, it really re-blooms here, so it surprises me that it hasn't for her. The slugs had made a splotchy mess of Songwriter, so I am happy to her the pretty blooms now on re-bloom. they were ugly before.

    Arctic Lace always reblooms here too, except last year when the 109 degree temps killed the scapes. Red Slippers however, has not rebloomed for me. Your RS looks even prettier on rebloom than it did the first time around. I really love that ruffly red.

    Nice grouping Kay. Handwriting On The Wall is so pretty as a trio. Arctic Lace is a pretty, ruffly white.
    All nice pics. I know what you mean about the weeds. So much rain here this year I feel like I'm never going to get caught up.

    You always have such pretty daylilies to show us! My favorite is actually Lily Dache because of all those blooms! Anything that blooms well and reliably is a star in my eyes. Based on looks alone, I like Red Slippers and Forsyth's Peekaboo.

    I like your Red Slippers. Songwriter is a beautiful color. I always like Arctic Lace. Marg

    Thanks all for looking. Red Slippers, Songwriter and several others look much better on re-bloom, Debra. In fact, most of them do. I'm not totally sure why,but blame it on the insect life.
    Julia, I cannot believe how tall th weeds got so quickly.
    Thanks, Celeste, between Lily Dache and All American Windmill, I see to have a lot of yellows unusual form/spiders blooming most of the season.
    Red slippers has turned out to be an excellent plant Marric.

    Wow. Kay you sure had a lot of energy and did so much work in the garden plus all that exercise. Red Slippers and Songwriter tie for my favorite today.

    Wow you sure worked and worked out a lot! I only did an hour of weeding yesterday and felt exhausted for the rest of the day :)
    Very pretty FFO on Delayed Arrival, I love those colors. My favorites are Arctic Lace, Songwriter and Wild Child, but the rest are all very pretty too.
