August 24 crop top to bottom, left to right: Panic Button (see below), Big Time Happy, Happy Returns, Metaphor, (2nd row) Harwood seedling HS40, Little Wine Cup, Last Reward, (3rd row) Children of Malawi, Be Thankful, Fox Ears, and (bottom left) Point of View.
Rincon Del Mar (D. Hansen 99) looks a lot more expensive than it is, especially at John Shooter's Marietta Gardens (www.mariettagardens.com) where it's only $8.00 this year. It's $20 or more other places.
Panic Button would not be extraordinary in midseason, but in late August it's a knockout!
Same with Comanche Maiden- only source I know is Flynn Daylily Gardens in Alabama. You've GOT to visit Ida's site for the great photo galleries, especially the Hybridizer Galleries, like the "Candy Shoppe" (Stamile), Munson, Carpenter/Bomar, and the Salters. Click on the link below. Oh, and her quality and selection are as excellent as her site's pictures. http://www.flynndaylilygardens.com/Gallery.htm
Just a review- these are all reblooms except Betty Harwood's "Last Reward", growing in Zone 6b with no rain and next to no watering since July. Send me a list of what's reblooming in your Zone 5 - 7 gardens; my email address is at the bottom of every page of the Garden State Daylily Growers' Club website, www.gsdaylily.org where you can find our schedule, including the September 10 members' picnic, this year at Rosemary & Joe Staba's.
