Most of you know this is a color I can gush about!!! Debra, I love those clumps of Conspiracy Theory and Miss Goldie Gold Digger! They must love their new home. I always like the look of Victorian Garden Emerald Breeze.
Moon Shimmers-from Debra-I love this form and look
Sarah Christine-the blooms on this one are massive
Moonlight Mischief
Morning Star
Empire of Desire
Mister Green Jeans
True Gertrude Demerest is an oldie and really bloomed well
Mister Butters is an early bloomer
Simplicity in Motion never fails to perform
Butter Cream is another one with huge blooms-blooms early
Banana Popsicle bloomed well
I have lots more but will stop here!
All are so pretty, but I especially like Heavenly Spinosaurus and Sing out Loud.
Most of my yellows have red eyes.
This is a new registration for 2027. I have submitted the registration but haven't gotten the ok yet. It's name should be Hot Time in the City.
Here is another registration for 2027. Hopefully it's name will be Black-eyed Misfit.
Heavenly Green Canary is a yellow with a definite greenish cast.
Sandra Elizabeth is great in the late garden.
Cherokee Pass is another late bloomer.
That's all for me.

Kate - Moon Shimmers does have that wonderful edge. Your yellow clumps just shine!
Maryl - I'm drawn to Who Loves the Sun. I'm glad it still loves the sun when it's over 100 degrees. Sour Puss and Lisa Apps Sybrandt always impress me.
Nancy Your two new registrations look good. The first one is my favorite - good color contrast and great edge!
Brad - Desert Icicle and Siloam Amazing Grace always look so pretty!
Debra
Mr and Mrs Bubbs put up two scapes the first year. This is one of the last blooms on one. Notice the brick underneath the scape to hold it up. I am hoping these are not going to be weak scapes on this plant. As mentioned above, it did not even scape this year.
Debra: All American Chief always catches my eye with its bright cheery red color. Sensational Heart looks pretty with good stats as well.......... Nan: I like Rubies and Gold and Ruby Grandeur quite a bit. Both have a deep red color that's appealing to me.......Brad: I like your Coral Majority seedling and Kent's Favorite Two.............I don't have many reds. I keep having to reduce my collection, so something has to go. Here's what stays this year:
Funny Valentine: An oldie that I just like overal. Performs well for me:
Mexican Maiden: I keep this around because it pairs so well with Orange Smoothie's bloom time, bloom size, color and form. Nothing else has looked as good to my eye in person:
Cherokee Star: Gosh what a pretty color. This picture reminds me of two spacecraft getting ready to lift off:
Beam me up Scotty...........Maryl
Here are some of my favorite red seedlings:
Red Venom X Dancing Flamingo has multiplied really well here but bud count is generally 12-13 buds per scape.
Born to Reign X (Mayans' Dawn X The Ultimate Sacrifice) is tall and had 15-19 buds per scape.
Dancing Flamingo X Neon Flamingo is a pinkish red. The best scape had 17 buds last season.
Roman Cohort X The Ultimate Sacrifice - I'm happy to see this one is finally doubling its fans. It has rebloomed both years here.
Red Edition X The Ultimate Sacrifice has multiplied only a couple of fans here. It rebloomed last year, but not this time.
Debra
Nice color on the iris bloom. I still have several perennials and the Angelonias still blooming even after a couple of mornings with frost.
Julia
Very pretty! I have some reblooming iris but they have not bloomed. No rain in two months and the only thing I have still blooming are my zinnias.
Mantis, for the most part your weather and the weather here were, and are the same. I hope you are on the mend……..I endured some serious health problems the first four months of this year, doing great now. I hope you can say the same soon.
No sale plants for me……I have never had good luck adding perennials at the end of the season.
We hired gardeners twice this season and plan on the same next season. Its getting tough to do ALL of the chores on our own. I enjoyed watching mulch get applied by someone else😜.

I found 3 more scapes on Belle Isle Sentry yesterday [total of 5 this month]. I also have 2 scapes on my Iris! What an extraordinary year!
Brad
I've had a remarkable amount of scapes in my little collection this year that are blooming now. I saw another one that had popped up the other day, but have been too busy to go over and see what it is. Been a hideously hot dry summer for us, but the daylilies for some reason are having one of their best seasons ever for rebloom........Julia: Energy Ribbon is a pretty Reimer. I will say that the form on some of my late blooms has been on the abnormal side, but a bloom is a bloom.......Maryl
Don’ t know what to think……rebloom at this time of year never happens. The potted annuals thatthe squirrels left alone still look good.

Debra: You are the Queen of Pink. You've trialed a lot of them over the years and it seemed you had/have the magic touch with so many of them. The Color of Wonderful is one of my favorites. Always enjoy seeing yours. I'm fond of Zuzu's Treasure too. A little sweetheart bloom in form and color. BTW, do you still have Memphis or are there more to come?
Since my climate makes most pinks a washed out pale color by mid day, I've only been able to find a few that suit me.
Angel Kim: held its color fine, but someone else liked it and it found a new home during this falls downsizing.
Caroline Grace McGhee: I like the looks of this, with it's wider petals, over the Stout winner Mr. and Mrs. Bubbs. Personal taste of course. It performs well for me and usually reblooms.
Yesterday Memories: Recommended to me by someone on this forum decades ago as a true pink color. It has survived 108 degrees to zero degrees planted in ground. This is 98 degrees.
Well With My Soul: This daylily is new this year. It shifts back and forth between lavender and pinky lavender. I'll put this picture with the pinks:
Paradise Road: One of my backbone daylilies and also one of my last to bloom. Rose color in cooler weather shifting to more pink as the heat arrives. Great one by Hanson.
