2nd daylily of season, (pic)

12 years ago

Well, She finally bloomed, but never did open up fully.I waited until 5pm, thinking it will open soon, but, it just never did, but, she still has 7 more buds on this scape so maybe the next one will open up right.I think its still a beauty, anyway, even if it WAS being stubborn.I guess the 42 degree night,it didnt like it.

The RED ALERT lilies look really great. I am sure that the blooms on the next daylily will be much better as soon as it gets warmer. At least it tried!

Vera, your gardens are always a welcome sight. The only planted pot I didn't empty out last Fall had Nicotiana sanderae in it with Zinnia. I've got lots of little selfsown Nicotiana seedlings sitting in that pot to be transferred around. They're the lime green flowers. After looking at the alata I think they'd be more impressive blooms. No fragrance on sanderae and shield bugs constantly sit right in center of flowers. At least critters don't eat those plants so they're worth some space. I know it's backbreaking work to get out all those rocks but I'd have to buy them for garden borders here...and I do want a rock garden somewhere, sometime. The only thing in the dirt here at my father's is gravel. When the shovel hits something solid with a "clink" it's either more gravel or Chinese Wisteria runners the diameter of the shovel handle. Thanks for sharing pics of wide open spaces with sunlight and healthy gardens!

Carolyn - Thanks for sharing your beautiful hollyhocks. Sharon - I have the Nightshade written down as Solanum dulcamara. I got it at the Calgary Hort plant swap a couple of years ago from the table classified as 'invasive'. Doris - Thankfully we didn't get the hail this time. The storm that hit Calgary didn't get this far east but I was watching the dark clouds and saying a few prayers. I hope all was fine in your garden as well. 'Doris' is definitely one beauty of a peony - thanks again :-) Any good plant combos that have happened in my garden this year are just dumb luck. I was just so overwhelmed last year trying to get all my trades, gifts, purchases and wintersowing in the ground that I feel like my entire garden is one big holding bed. There are lots of things to be moved this fall. For example, I wintersowed Nepeta parnassica that I got in a trade with a gal in the UK. It is over 5 feet tall and I fight with it everyday as it planted along the edge of a path : / Susan

Proudgm, you can save any pics to there, if it's in PB already then there is a link that says "copy to my album" and it will put it there. As far as other sites, I know there is a way to upload them to PB from your album, I think you would just put the web address in it, I've never done it before. Also as Tracy pointed out above: Vic, one thing I would like to add about setting up your own photobucket account is that you can create your own folders for it too. I have several different sub albums in my account for family pics, garden shots, then sub albums for each of my individual gardens, clematis, lilies, daylilies and then keep a separate album for all web art I find that I want to use again or edit/personalize. I like keeping them separated so if I do a search I can find what I'm looking for pretty quickly. It is a pretty neat site and they just recently expanded some of their editing tools so you can add comments and funny designs to the pictures too. I've started part 3 so we don't have to wear our mouses out scrolling the page : )

I'm impressed with that temperature it even tried to open :) Gives you an idea of things to come. Love the lilies, I have red lilies, but maybe I need some Red Alerts. I have buds on my lilies, but none that are really thinking about blooming yet. I think some of the Oriental lilies that I thought got frostbit might bloom. I don't know how, the foliage at the tips turned brown & looks pitiful, but it looks like there may be buds forming on a couple of them. Of course, even if they bloom, doesn't mean they will look good, I guess.

These cool temps give them fitds, don;t they Jean? Your lilies are very nice. I suspect the next blooms will be beauties on those daylilies.

Rita;Thank you, I just love them lilies.I have had people stop in the middle of the street when I was outside and yell at me, asking what are them Red flowers.One even parked in my yard and got out to come get a closer look at them and ask what they were.They do attract attention as they are so bright,and so pretty.yes, the Daylily certainly gets a A for effort.I was so disappointed that it didnt open up all the way, but, it has more buds, so maybe next time it will open good.

CINDY, Thabnk you. the days got warmer, was 83 today, and the nights are suppose to warm up, too.
NANCY:MAYBE your lilies will bloom soon, too..I never knew anything like these existed until I seen the pictures that Rita posted of hers.So many gorgeous lilies, that I never knew existed.I guess the orientals bloom around July and August ? I was disappointed in the daylily when it didnt open up right, but, it still has more buds on it, so maybe one of them will open wide.at least,I can see its going to be a beauty when it blooms right. I found a bunch of scapes on the daylilies today, that just appeared over night.
