I walked around the front yard tonight and picked out a few more of my favorite daylilies.
'Burgandy Babe' is a heavy producer. The dark Burgandy blooms with the even darker eyes are about the size of a half-dollar. They really show off early in the lily season. I have crossed them with 'Little Sioux' with good results.
'Little Sioux' is another mini lily. It, too, has a heavy bloom. The flowers are slightly smaller than 'Burgandy Babe' and they are a dark peachy color. The petals are more rounded and chunky looking than most daylilies. I love them!
'Texas Sunlight' is one of my other minis. It is a sunny yellow, proficient bloomer.
There's another daylily in the same bed as the 'Texas' lilies. When I purchased it, the handwritten tag had rubbed off part way. Therefore I'm not sure what the name is, but it is two words with the first letter being C and the first letter of the second word being J. It has HUGE dazzling yellow-orange flowers that seem to be covered in diamond dust. I can't bring myself to divide them yet since they are so beautiful.
I have a 'Gordon Briggs' in the garden by the greenhouse. I've always loved the color of this dark flower.
Once again, I am not having luck downloading my pictures. When Steve comes over (he is an absolute genius with the computer...I'm envious) I will ask him to help me share my pictures.

Coach. It's a title that means a lot to me. As a child I looked up to my
coaches, especially my father. My asthma was always too bad to be an
athlete. ...
