My daughter left her camera with me, she could not figure out how to remove the batteries or the card. So I snapped a few photos this morning with it. She can take far better pics in auto-mode with this little camera than I can with my camera trying every setting on it. These photos are so much closer to real live colors than mine will ever get, plus hers has a 30x zoom and HD video.
Ok, this is not a camera forum, but with out them we would have no pics.

Maybe your daughter will forget to pick up her camera until end of July?! Thumbs up Do you know which cultivars these are, or are they NOIDs? Whatever they are ... they are S-c-r-u-m-p-t-i-o-u-s! Hurray!

Great to view the pics but I must add that July in Ohio wouldn't be nearly as sentimental or enjoyable if we had our daylily blooms now.

It's a great show and I enjoy it as every daylily fan does. I'll stick with my late June thru August blooms. I sometimes get a scape later and that's always welcome. The plants I grow and really favor all peak in July. Makes me feel good about my choice for a homestead. Favorite flowers in my favorite month, I really couldn't ask for more. (well, yeah... more in August and I have a couple but good enough)

Thanks for sharing! Enjoy while you can! I'm at a month + for an impressive bloom but it will arrive and I'll share mine with you for your kindness of sharing yours! The view is appreciated.

Great perspective, Wes. And I'm really thankful for my spring and fall daylily blooms because when yours are going strong this summer my plants will practically be dormant in our 100+ degree dry heat. So please do post pictures of your blooms this summer so we can enjoy them too.

Here are some from today:

LITTLE SURFER GIRL - Our fluctuating temps really brought out the pinched petals in this one today.


EMERALD PRISM


CROWNING LIGHT - In morning shade, and then later at almost dark taken with the flash


BLUE ALERT


PIKES PEAK


TET. DEVIL'S FOOTPRINT


TIDES ROLL IN - This bloom looks different than the ones in the database, but I purchased it directly from the Petits and assume the difference is caused by our fluctuating temps that are also affecting other blooms -- plus this bloom took almost all day to completely open. I do love this look too -- especially in the eye pattern.

All lovely Betty!

Yes, Wes, many of us will be drooling over your July blooms.
