Didn't have to wait a week for 'Justin Paul' to bloom. Here it is in my garden this morning.


JUSTIN PAUL - First Flower (FFO)

I have Samuel Bell and I love it. Such a pretty daylily.

Very pretty

Justin Paul is pretty good looking for an FFO. Wish they all looked this good!

Vicki: Justin Paul is an established plant. Has been here for 4 yrs. It was one of the first daylilies I purchased before I really got bitten by the daylily bug, and probably the reason I kept buying more each year. I loved this bright bloom gleaming in the sunlight on the hillside of my mountain garden.

Very nice, Fred!

Symphony of Praise is new this year and I couldn't be without it. My attempt to get a good shot this morning was thwarted by the high humidity fogging the camera lens and just as I wiped it off and aim the camera I got stung by a bee the size of an alligator.




The teeth are more pronounced in high temps and I love the heavy substance and form.

and still hangin in at 7:15 pm @ 93 degrees.

That is absolutely stunning!

That's a very nice looking evening photo of SOP. I like the ones with heavier substance too.

We grow quite a few of Tim's daylilies. Here are two that were reblooming today that I took pictures of:

Linda Bell (named for his wife)

Set My Soul Afire

Montez Fausett reblooming. It had 3 blooms this morning but I did not have my camera at the time and no time to go get it.

Symphony of Praise is beautiful! I've heard it does well in the north, too, ...adding another to the ever growing want list.

Time for an AHS Awards update....
