Less and less daylilies every day. I found 2 prolifs today though. And collected my first seeds. Don't know what I am going to do with them, but they look good :)

These pictures are from yesterday.
Carnival in Brazil

Beautiful Edgings

Black Lace Conspiracy

White portulaca, those are bigger than usual

Chorus Line - and today it had its last bloom

Cosmos

Late noid and Zena under it

Yellow Titan

NOID

Tahitian Waterfall

Heliopsis

Moon Over Monteray - LFO

Elegant Candy

And here is something I didn't know about when I was trying to take its picture.
Later I googled and found out it's a Cicada Killer wasp :o

It obviously just got that cicada because it was still buzzing.
I couldn't come closer, the wasp is gigantic :) I was afraid

Thanks for looking!

Love Moon Over Monteray and your NOID purple spider! Cicadas have been ready bad this year here...One of the big orb spiders that live in my greenhouse caught one in its web yesterday and I couldn't be happier!

You have a nice variety still blooming. That's an especially pretty photo of Beautiful Edgings, and I do like your NOID purple spider.

I would like to suggest EGGPLANT ELECTRICITY for the
purple spider. This is a good bloomer.

Moon Over Monterey is my favorite of the daylilies, and that wasp photo gives me the willies. I'm not a fan of anything that stings.

Your portulaca is gorgeous, especially those big white blooms. I've never had much luck growing it.

Thanks everybody!
That bloom on Beautiful Edgings was probably the best of the season.
Yellow Titan is so good this year, I like the huge bloom, and it has one more rebloom scape yet to bloom.
Thanks for the suggestion Kay (Phal), it does look similar but I don't think it's Eggplant Electricity, too new to be my noid.
I read those cicada killer wasps do not usually sting unless they tangle in clothes or you attack them. But they sure are huge and intimidating.
Portulaca - don't know why but portulaca is growing like weeds this year. Everywhere, and it is all self-seeded, I didn't buy any this year.
