Variegated Daylilies
Note the all-green "reversion" leaves in this Kwanso variegata- they must be culled, or they will ultimately take over, since they are actually more efficient. I dig up the clump every year or two and compost the reverts. 
My variegated Tiger's Eye is still alive, but still one fan. I've moved it to a better spot for next year. The pattern isn't always 50/50, and color varies. But the bloom is definitely Tiger's Eye.
These cheap ($10) trellises I bought from the craft store have been recycled below:
I got this trick from Betty Harwood- she elevated some of her plant labels on (pvc?) pipe. I use the steel tubing from surplus trellis to bring the tags up to readable and photographable height.
My favorite non-daylily new plant this year is this Ligularia- still looks good after a year with alternate droughts and drownings. Labels: Ligularia, variegated daylily daylilies PA

Favorite Daylilies June 30
Chili Spice was a trade from Cynthia Marriott last year; mine bloomed and hers didn't! Hope you're having bettter luck this year, Cyn!
My variegated Tiger's Eye bloom is overexposed, but this shows the variegation, which is only on one side of the leaf.
Geneva Firetruck first bloom today- one of my best light-edged reds, of which I have about a half dozen.
This photo of Bridgeton Calligraphy shows the yellow veining that distinguish it.
Jordan Verhaert is showing an even thicker edge than Raspberry Masquerade in my garden.

Tar and Feather is a stunner.
