My Moses' Fire, Julie. Not fragrant, but fairly short scapes, really interesting flowers (four-six inches). Increases like crazy, here. I have them planted four or five areas of the yard and each blooming section looks a little different from the others. Fun to observe. Thumbs up

Black Briar Bay, one of my favorite darks. Not fragrant, but visually outstanding and reblooms like a champ.

Irish Elf. The shortest one I have. Bloom is second smallest next to Teenie Girl (below). You can see in the last photo the difference in size. Not fragrant, though. Beautiful Edgings to either side, and Frilly Bliss in the background.

Killer. Largish bloom, but still relatively short scapes, fragrant and very dramatic coloring.

Mary Frances Ragain. If you like pinks, this is a good one. Really tough in our hot climate. Fragrant, six inch blooms, 24-26 inch scapes.

Snake in the Grass Boo. Fragrant. Taller than the others, but this one is what got me started on daylilies and is still one of my favorites. I credit or blame Becky, depending on how much money I have spent buying plants Whistling Sticking tongue out Thank you, Becky. Lovey dubby @mattsmom

Teenie Girl. Cute, and the smallest bloom I have, but has disproportionately tall scapes for the bloom size, I think. It is fragrant.

Texas Beautiful Bouquet. This one was a gift from Lisa @mlt and is an outstanding performer. Fragrant, too. Smiling

Voodoo Dancer. Another good, smallish dark. Reblooms, fragrant, and interesting bloom shape and coloring.
