Hail the Harwood Hybrids- Late Season is Here

Sometimes in the late summer, Harwoods and Apps are over half of my blooms. This is my clump of Laura Harwood, Betty's most widely distributed daylily.
Ora Lee was the first Harwood I bought, because it reblooms in New Jersey, not just south of the Georgia border like so many other registered rebloomers.
Twirling Parasol has the bad habit of "bed head"- most of the time the sepals get stuck together, and must be teased apart before the bloom will open. So it's high maintenance, like many other pretty things.
Cool Cassie, not a stunning color, but 8 inches for those of you that feel size matters.
My favorites for today, gathered just before the rain started: from top left to bottom right =
Peacock Maiden, How beautiful Heaven Must Be, Siloam Double Fringe, Lavender Suspenders. Second Row = Druid's Chant, Bridgeton Icing, Fashion Police and Origin Stories. Bottom Row = Laura Harwood, Point of View, and Jordan Verhaert.
