Chateau Belair looks so pretty with the phlox! I really like that one! I'll have to check into Love Or Else too since it looks like such a nice late. High Plains Drifter is one I'm not familiar with, so I'll have to look that one up too. What a cute little sunflower growing in the gutter!

Those are beautiful today, Chris. I really like High Plains Drifter and Chateau Belair. Catastrophe Waitress has been a beauty all season. As The World Turns is looking great. A really nice late day.

I saw CHATEAU BELAIR and wondered how you managed to get my seedling.

High Plains Drifter is a real standout. Love those bright colors. As the World Turns and Chateau Belair are both beauties and look like they are great plants.

How fortunate you are to have such lovely blooms at the end of the season! I especially like Chateau Belair.

I used to have a huge diploid seedling that looked just like High Plains Drifter. I thought I brought it when we moved, but it somehow ended up in someone else's garden, I suppose.

I like your sunflower picture - reminds me of when I had a pine seedling growing up on the roof.

Debra, Love or Else and Photon Torpedo are two nice lates from Hanson that do well here that you might want to check out. High Plains Drifter was a new intro when I planted it two years ago and has been a slower grower than Chateau Belair, planted last year.

Edward, your seedling does look similar. On cooler days the color is much deeper on CB.

Thanks, Kay, Val and Nancy. It's always a little depressing to tour the garden when daylily season is winding down, so today was a nice day for the lates. Nancy, hopefully someone is enjoying your seedling somewhere. And I probably have a pine tree or two growing on my roof, too.

Your pics have really promoted Chateau Belair and As the World Turns. Good to know what actually performs beautifully.

hese are all beauties, again, sure love CHATEAU BELAIR , that one is so pretty.AS THE WORLD TURNS is a beauty and just look at all the buds you have still to open. gorgeous.I believe CATASTROPHE WAITRESS: is my favorite today. its gorgeous, and I love that sunflower growing way up high in the gutter.Guess it didn't want to be crowded in with the daylilies and wanted to be seen. love it.

Thanks, Mantis. I know we both appreciate hearing the positives and negatives. It certainly helps me make better decisions. I can't just fall for the pretty face alone anymore, as tempting as that may be.

that last pic is great. ha

All looking so good! Including sunflower up in the skies :) I especially like Catastrophe Waitress and As the World Turns which still have lots of blooms to come. And my favorite today is High Plains Drifter, so big and bright.
