I love daylilies so I never get bored of seeing them! Very nice collection. I just got El Desperado on clearance in one of the packages at Lowes this year. Hopefully next year there will be some pretty blooms like yours!

Very nice! You have some great colors. Mine finished last month. I sometimes get some more in the fall too.

Very nice selection with lots of variety of colors, sizes, etc. I love daylilies, they really are easy to grow. I know what you mean about the color of Mephistopheles, the very dark purples tend to photograph lighter. For some reason, pictures do not convey the velvety purple color. I have a very dark purple called Bela Lugosi which also lightens when I take a picture. I'll have to try and post my pic and you can see what I mean. Can't wait for some of my new ones to bloom!

Zone9lady, I got a couple from a Florida grower last year that are just getting buds--I will have to see how they perform up here. do you have any problems with rust? That's the one thing that I don't envy about growing daylilies down south--you get marvelous blooms but down south there is the danger of rust.

I just love that Desperado! So unique!
