    The pictures are very well done as usual, Edward. Shirley's Shangri-La is very pretty. I like the picture of Pigment of Imagination. i especially like the view of Harbour Breezes garden scene.

    Which of the two whites do you prefer? Does Arctic Bear have the great plant habit that Benz claimed? (I don't find much info on SS.) The seedling looks as though it has heavy substance. Personally, I am not a member of the Pigment of Imagination fan club--the colors are often less pronounced than pictured here. But it has hybridizing potential. Debra, if you read this, how has your Super Model performed?

    It is hard to compare because Shirley's Shangri-La has been in the garden 2 years longer. So far It is whiter than Arctic Bear. Big Wayne falls between the two and Ambassador of Peace is more yellow than Arctic Bear.

    I hope you post some more pics of seedlng #8. I notice that not all blooms of Thieving Magpie have opened completely. Is this typical, or just a reflection of coolness?

    Thieving Magpie does cup a bit but not as much as many. That picture was taken at about 10:00 am. The high temp today was about 70 degrees F.

    The white daylilies are beautiful. Pigment of Imagination presents a very interesting color display. I also like your Thieving Magpie. The color is gorgeous.
