Here are a very few pictures from Nicole Harrys today. After a couple f pictures, it just become sensory overload along with some chatting and the camera gets forgotten. I wont forget what I saw tho If I came away with anything...it large..huge really. She had more large flowered daylilies than Ive ever seen. They just make you giggle.

This was a flower on the table, I know you cant tell, as I should have backed up to get both flowers, but if you look at the little bit of daylily beside it, the little looking one is really big, this white thing is a monster...its the biggest round daylily Ive ever seen.

Saw Doris and David...Cashigh. They werent as talkative as usual, but sure were looking good.

Your big one looks like MY CUP OVERFLOWS. Could be the tetraploid conversion which I've heard is huge.

James...these last ones are for you. Just in case yours doesnt bloom again this year, I stared at these long enough for the both of us

Sitting on the patio, dreaming of getting to take my favorite giant flower home




Till next year....or maybe tomorrow

Pam - Wow! Those are some sensational blooms! Looks like you had a really awesome time. I think I would enjoy seeing such a show. I've read how wonderful this event is and how many daylily nurseries it entails. Sounds like the place to be! Thank you for sharing such beautiful bloom photos!

That last one is gorgeous! What is the name?

James....I think your 100 correct. Looks like it, and if is suppose to be big...this is it. Ive rarely seen a ufo this big, but a full round heavy substance flower...it was amazing. I was going to call nicole tomorrow after things wind up today and ask Her.

Becky...that last one is a sdlg. Im coming back to put the names, I was just lamed out last night.

Oh, Pam, THANK YOU for posting these pictures! Ours now has two scapes but blooms are weeks away. I know you had a great time. I remember how quickly we were on daylily overloaded surrounded by SO many gorgeous blooms.

Great photos Pam.

That is funny, nice pics and such a beautiful, huge green eyezone.

Those have to be some of the most gorgeous blooms I have ever seen, Pam. Thanks for posting the pics.

WOW..... those toothy ones are gorgeous and love that last one!!!! Thank you for sharing!

I love that last one too! Did anyone see her Monday Night Lights presentation? She posted pictures of the most incredible seedlings!

All your photos are glorious! The last one is my favorite. It looks like a really large flower.

Did Nicole actually give every visitor a named daylily this year, as promised on the Mecca website?

Yes, she does every year. So do the Petits ( I know its not the Petits anymore but...). The bag Nicoles came in said it was going to be Pink with a black eye...yum

Was it a named variety this year? Last year it was a seedling.

must be a seedling...I will ask her about the one from last year. In the years past, they have been registered. Not that I care...I just wanna like it.

Ill go back and look for my registered ones...the only one I can remember is Mecca Madness...I think that was from the Petits.

Mecca Madness has yet to be registered.
Nicole's past gifts (2013, 2014) were seedlings.
The Mecca site this year promised a "named" daylily.

Just curious to see if she kept her promise THIS year.
