Two New Apricot Daylilies

I had two brand new blooms today, both apricot-coloured daylilies. 'Peach Magnolia' is a double bloom. I wondered at myself for getting it when I already have 'Vanilla Fluff', but this one is a much deeper colour and anyway I have planted them in different parts of the garden.

The other new bloom is 'Naomi Ruth', a recent purchase. It was a plant that looked like nothing at all, but it tugged at my heart with its wispy foliage. Soon after I planted it and gave it a dose of Miracle-Gro, it sent up a scape and now it has flowered.

And this one is not brand new, but 'Royal Palace Prince' put out two blooms today.

And, for a bonus, here is a pretty little moth that landed on 'My Hope' and stopped long enough to get its photo taken.

Oh my, they're all so beautiful! I think I'll put a double on my list for next year. Royal Palace Prince is such a wonderful shade! I've just spent quite a while looking at all your gorgeous lilies and I'm in awe of your collection! Your gardens are just beautiful. I can see how much you love to create beauty.
Your son really has a good eye with the camera (takes after his mom). I love that garden view...fantastic photo opportunities there! I'd have to have a cushion before I'd kneel on flagstone :)
I can see what you mean about Catherine Woodbury. I'll post a picture of my original unknown pink so you can see how much it looks like CW. Funny how I didn't notice the similarity until I brought CW home.

Your new day lilies are beautiful, even if I do not like this color so gladly

Love Peach Magnolia.
What a unique moth (at least I've never seen one like that around my place).
