AUTUMN WOOD

solid as a rock

ROBERT OLIVER FFO

don't know about this one, seems to struggle and the color is a bit muddy

HAPPY HUNTING GROUND

early morning light at an obtuse angle

SILOAM DOUBLE CLASSIC


And this is SILOAM DOUBLE CLASSIC

What a great bloom so I took an early morning shot and then one nearer to mid morning.

HOW LOVELY YOU ARE. FFE


PINK PROMINADE

What a great clumpkin! Thank you Char for getting us into this hem. The colors are very clear and they go together like Fred and Ginger.

CHEROKEE FABLES with a friend.

Only bad photo today, this guy was all over the place. I couldn't get my feet set and the camera zoomed and focused before he would move on. Finally I just went for It and the autofocus grabbed the petal in the lower right corner to focus on, and then he was gone.

SOLI DEO GLORIA

See, it really is getting better. In our garden it is as much claret as purple. I adjusted the color some to bring it close to a match on my iPad screen. Natural light, no sun

California poppy

Yum

Oops, I put today's photos in July

Beautiful blooms Charley!

Gorgeous!

Beautiful blooms Charley and Roger! Love your shot of the butterfly on Cherokee Fables. I also like Soli Deo Gloria Siloam Double Classic.

Roger and Karen, lovely purples - a favorite color of mine!

Although the bloom season is winding down, there are still some exceptional late blooms and reblooms from my daylilies.

My kind of flower. Is it consistent? How's the plant habit? Do you know the pedigree?

Blooms to post are getting fewer. Just a few to post today

Midnight Smoke Rings is new to the garden, planted early last September. It just started blooming now.


Last Flight Out, nicely backlit in the early morning


A nice trio on Isle of Dreams, so pretty.

@CaliFlowers Ken, thank you for liking the seedling pictured above but unfortunately it does not have good statistics. It is from KING COBRA X GASKINS 1305. Scape height is about 3', bloom size is 6", low bud count & 1 branch. Not sure if it will improve next year as this is the first year this seedling blooms.

Slow day;

Slim Pickens - was in a 1968 movie "Never a Dull Moment" (like around here) and describes our bloom today


JEAN SWANN FFO

pretty bloom and nice bud

SOLI DEO GLORIA

This is the same bloom as the one in the first post in this thread. The reason I included this is that it was taken twelve hours after the bloom was picked. The tungsten light changes the color but the bloom sure held up well.

Mullein

and the brick patio garden continues to thrive

Beautiful blooms, Charley.

Pink Promenade is a good one, happy you like it Charley. Red Rocks really made me look, love the color and form. I have a bunch of images from the last week of July that will get mixed in, the plants are still blooming in most cases, makes no sense to rephotograph for an Aug. date.
Starting with a true Aug. image

Little Sumpin, a sweet bloom with a big watermark.


Two nice doubles, Almost Indecent and Siloam Olin Frazier.


Night Flyer, the color is a nice deep dark burgundy purple, but it spots terrible and never really opens well. Took 4 years to get one so-so image.....compost pile.


Small World Laughing Clown, whimsical blooms that twist and stretch in all directions.


Up On the Roof, a tall pretty salmon coral with nicely branched scapes.


Wooster Whispers of Love, a nice surprise bonus plant last summer. This bright rose red diploid is putting on a good show this year.


and a few pleated forms...
Ascending Peculiarities and Catch a Wave


Diamond Diva and Feng Shui Moment


Two images of Impossible Dreamer, one well behaved the other wild and crazy.


Cool Hand Luke and Peaches en Regalia.

A couple daylilies that didn't bloom during the regular season are blooming now, very late.

Sanford Intermezzo


Flash of Mischief - It's supposed to be a double, but I get a lot singles on it.


I'm getting more August rebloom than usual.

Boundless Beauty


Promises Kept


Cobalt Rings


Ice Cream Emperor


The Color of Wonderful


Palace Garden Beauty


A few lates are still blooming.

Royal Jester


Last Chance for Romance with The Color of Wonderful

Glad things have picked up for you, Charley!

Great photos, Debra. I especially like the photo of Royal Jester

Wow all. Great blooms

A pic of 'Flash of Mischief' doubled, please!

I love all the pleated forms on your daylilies, Char! You have posted so many nice ones. Are there a few that are absolutely your favorites?

Sorry everyone! I posted the wrong name for my red daylily. It is Crimson Cowboy and not Red Rocks. I don't know what I was dreaming at the time.

Debra, your photography is amazing! I love Flash of Mischief. I too would love to see its double version if you have a photo of it.
