Since I uploaded them to PB I might as well post today :)

Once again I planted two similar looking together - don't want to disturb either
Carnival in Brazil

and Man of Sorrows

And yet another two very similar growing next to each other - why I do it? :)

Wren's Song. At least there is a big difference in height ;)

Francis of Assisi

Set Free

Two last blooms on Party Pinafore

Better opened flower of The Band Played On on rebloom

Zuni Thunderbird

Kayleigh Cobb - one of my tallest daylilies at 43". Guess where it is planted?
Why front of the border of course ;) I mean to move every year but..

The two blooms on Party Pinafore look quite different from each other! My PP always looks like the second pic.

Hard to choose today between the curls on Zuni Thunderbird and the lushness that is Francis of Assisi. Call it a tie.

So many nice daylilies! I really like Zuni Thunderbird, Man of Sorrows always attracts my attention too. But then you have that wonderful clump of Francis, I would have to pick that one I think. Just beautiful!
You sound a lot like me. I have 2 planted together, took me all season one year to realize they were 2 different plants, I had them planted so close together for some reason. I've been meaning to move them apart at least 2 years, maybe this year I'll do it. I have several tall ones that need to be moved to the back, but I'm not taking the blame for that. I planted them according to the height they were supposed to get. Not like everything gets tall in my garden, I have some short ones right in the middle where you can barely see them. I'm working on that, but I'll be peeved if they grow their registered height next year.

Thanks Statmam, yes 2 PP blooms looked different that's why I decided to post both. Mine looks more like the first one, only occasionally like 2nd - I prefer 2nd look.

Thanks Nancy, I found a garden twin! :) That's exactly what I did - planted them according to their registered heights. It happens a lot here. Also I was a big 'mover' when I first started, moving them here and there with no problems. But since 2012 every time I move / divide - transplant they sulk. So now I am very cautious about that.

Francis of Assisi tends to bloom in the foliage for a lot of people, mine too, maybe just barely slightly above this year, I still like it! Many blooms this year (and previous years too).

Man of Sorrows is my favorite and Carnival in Brazil looks great too.

Zuni Thunderbird seems to have had a lot of buds. Yes, Frances Assissi is a very attractive bloom with a plant flaw. Your Party Pinafores both look good. I have considered this one, but have seen it when it didn't open well at all. How is it for you?

When I first got into daylilies Francis of Assisi was one I looked at to buy. Never did but I still like it. You said it likes to bloom in the foliage and I wouldn't like that but it is still a pretty one. Love Party Pinafore, mine is in a shady place so must try to move it next spring.

Thank you everybody!

Mantis, Party Pinafore was opening well this season. I think I remember it had some trouble opening last year (cool nights).

Jean hope your Carnival improves next year, it's a nice one.

Such a pretty group of daylilies. I love the Fransis of Assis and Carnival of Brazil - the flowers look perfect. Is there a common theme or story behind the "carnival" daylilies?
