I think Strutter's Ball is my all-round favourite daylily. It's very reliable and looks great in the garden. And it was free!

First ever bloom on Siloam Ethel Smith, after 2 years of increasing steadily. Many more to come as you can see.

and my unknown red which I am almost certain is Crimson Pirate.

Grandma Jean

Watermelon Man, a short daylily with a very very dark flower.

Prague Spring is probably the greenest daylily I have.

Siloam Merle Kent

Big Smile

Bandit Man

Custard Candy

Jungle Princess

Eenie Fanfare

Children's Festival

Radiation Biohazard. I think this one will be one of my favorites. It is 2 years old and now has 3 fans. Only one fan has a scape this year. The scape has 29 buds on it!! Wow!!! This is the first flower but I will post later with a better flower when another one opens.

Brenda

Ice Carnival had it's first bloom of the season.

And a few more first time bloomers in my yard.

Eternity's Shadow tried to poly I think, as 2 of the petals fused together. Hopefully the next flower will bloom true to form.

Zen Meditation

And a very spidery looking 'Kindly Light'

Laurie

Wineberry Candy

Charles Johnston

Last year Brenda figured that this might be Autumn Red, but I am leaning towards Sammy Russell.

Cherry Cheeks- I really like this ones colors.

Little Grapette

Childrens Festival

Here is another picture of my Fugly(On the right) and my "not El Desperado"(on the left). I'm pretty sure they are both two different types of Fulva.

Shelley

Eternity's Shadow had a better flower today.

And I also noticed that it had a gold metallic edge to it. In the sun it was quite noticeable. Here's a close up, hope you can see it.

I have a couple more today...

Always Afternoon

Cloverdale

Ruth Webster - I got this from Montfort. Their pic and the only other one I could find on the net were WAY darker than this, I mean dark magenta. The form and ruffling are exactly right so I don't think it's mislabeled, but what the heck I like this shell pink better anyway.

Pink Super Spider

Cool It

Pardon Me

Shelley

Here's another picture of Silent Sentry. It looks like a completely different daylily to me this year.

Joan Senior, new this year from Hortico.

Stella D'Oro, looking a little beat up after the rain last week:

Shelley, Charles Johnston is handsome I can see the shimmer, must be really gorgeous in person.

Laurie, I love, love, love Eternity's Shadow, you sure captured the edging in your photo nicely!

Gil, Ruth Webster is so pretty, love the soft pink, I bet she would look good with pink baby's breath.

This is the FFO on Jan's Twister. It's not quite at it's full width of 12" yet, this one was only about 9", but I can sure see the potential for some wow factor here in the future.;^)

And here's Lake Norman Spider making his debute this year.

Laurie

LADY INARA

MATT - blooming its head off, I can't keep count how many blooms I got from this one.....thanks so much Laurie!

CHICAGO RUBY - this one is a true red, again, can't capture the color red in my camera, but in person it is huge and gorgeous!

FOOLED ME

Sharon

Sharon

I love the colouring on Lady Inara. I wouldn't have thought yellow and pink would go well together, but she does it wonderfully!

A couple more opened today.

Autumn Red polyed.

And this is the first flower ever on Siloam Dream Baby.

Yesterday Sabine Baur opened up for me.

And today Trahlyta opened. I love this one.

Shelley

A very pretty noid, that will probably always be a noid.:(

A much darker coloured Eternity's Shadow, than the first picture I posted. The weather has cooled off considerably, so I'm not sure why the drastic change in it.

In the close up, it looks like it's dripping gold. This went all the way around each of the three petals.

The ruffles, or this may be getting close to the chicken fat, are getting much more pronounced than the first flower too. I just can't imagine this one getting any better.:^)

Wineberry Candy is showing off. I can't wait until my daylilies clump up more.

Shelley

And I love how you colour coordinated Wineberry Candy with your dianthus. So pretty!

That pink noid is about 5" wide. I've had it for years. I got it from McFayden's catalogue I believe, but that was back in the time when I didn't keep a record of all plant names. Whatever the name, it's very fertile anyway, as I've got a number of seedlings growing from it.

Shelley

Fire and Fog

Malaysian Monarch with one somewhat wonky petal. Oh well, for it's first bloom, it's not too bad.

This one, i think, is Children's Festival. I remember planting that and Strawberry Candy and one of them didn't survive. It looks more like the Children's Festivals in this thread.

It looks like some of my daylilies may not bloom this year. Destined to See had a couple of scapes but they've gone all dry and brown. Same with Snowy Apparition. Not sure why. I was looking forward to seeing if Destined to See looked better to me this year now that i moved it. Maybe it was afraid! :>

I had a few more different ones open up in the past couple of days.

Here's Xia Xiang.

Too Marvelous

Another Noid.

And my Siloam Ethel Smith did decide to throw up a scape after all, but after seeing the clump that Gillian has of it, I'm really hoping mine will look the same by next year.:)

Does anyone have Newberry Festival so I could compare pictures?

MOROCCO RED

I bought Sammy Russell from the Conservatory sale in the fall back in 2000ish and Autumn Red from the Greenspot about 2002ish. Well, because my yard is so large and not realizing that my two daylilies were identical until this summer when each of them bloomed.... that is why I identified yours as Autumn Red last year when you were looking for a name for yours. It looked identical to my 'Autumn Red' which I now know is mislabelled and should be Sammy Russell.

Laurie had a daylily that was labelled Autumn Red but was the same height as mine. But, not until I stopped in at her place on the garden tour, brought my daylily and compared it to hers did we notice the difference.

So, here is a comparison (which we could not find anywhere on the internet), of both daylilies.

The right one is Sammy Russell (mine) and the left one is Autumn Red (Laurie's)...

Notice how much larger Sammy Russell is than Autumn Red. But also notice that AR seems to be redder than SR and that there is a large yellow center and a yellow line down each petal of the AR.

It was also very frustrating to try to identify these daylilies on the 'net because there are mislabelled pictures of both that look identical to the other.

So, Shelley, you have the same daylily as I do, Sammy Russell.

Brenda

Now its time for more daylilies from my yard. I am away behind on posting my daylilies. So, here it goes...

Frans Hals

Siloam Plum Tree

Siloam Tom Howard

Celestial City

Highland Lord

Siloam Bye Lo

Always Afternoon

Beautiful Edgings

Blueberry Candy

Siloam French Doll

More to come later....

Brenda

I didn't post a picture of the first bloom of Parade of Peacocks because it was a bit deformed, so here's the second flower which looks much better.

And here's a pic of my very first proliferation. It's on Siloam Dream Baby.

Here's a link to my whole daylily album.

More daylilies...

Hall's Pink. I have 5 clumps of this one. Think it is time next summer to maybe get rid of at least 3 of them and plant other daylilies there.

Summer Wine...a favorite.

Obsidian...so dark!

Prairie Blue Eyes ... very blue

Super Purple...another dark one.

Maria Tillsbury...from a friend.

Pardon Me

Romantic Rose

Potentate

Raspberry Pixie

STRUTTER'S BALL

Sharon

Prairie Blossom is sure a trooper, as it's sending up a rebloom scape.

Now, what are the odds that it'll actually get a chance to bloom before f****??
