    Looks like you got a very nice selection of DLs! I recognize many names of the ones people post here.
    Personally I only grow Cat Dancer, Francis of Assisi and Strw. Candy. I like Cat Dancer, it is a late bloomer here, flowers are interesting and open well (still flowering). Francis of Assisi is pretty too, mid season bloomer. In my yard it is a front of the border daylily, plus people complain that it blooms in the foliage. I just like the flower, and that's why low scapes don't bother me so much. Fades and melts in the sun quickly (in my yard). Strawberry Candy is nice too, not my favorite because it looks kinda orangey and not pink like I'd like, but my DH likes it.
    Fransis of Assisi had its last bloom today

    The only one I have on your list is Coyote Moon - and I love it. I saw it at a daylily show several years ago and was impressed with the scape and bud count, so I bought it. Mine started blooming here on July 3 this year, still has a couple of blooms today and still has some buds. It is one of only two daylilies I have that put up rebloom scapes.

    This picture is from last month...

    Hi, glad that you made it and enjoyed the experience. You made some great choices. Ahem..I need to look to see what I purchased this season.
    Ranger Bob was purchased last season..lovely bloom time and set pollen on Red Volunteer.
    Bug's Hug is a great bloomer here..it also is a very quick multiplier.
    After the clean-up, we had a little meeting (everyone grabbing on leftover food) and the sec.shared that we had had buyers from several states..info met with loud applause.
    Great time had by all. Come back next season!!

    Ranger Bob is a lovely color and a good bloomer here. Big Sur is another very good bloom machine. Nice big blooms. those are the only two I have of yours, but I, too have seen others posted here. Nice selection.
