Thursday's Pics with One New DL FFO

11 years ago

One of my favorite DLs bloomed today. I love the color and form of this one, and it is an oldie from Moldovan from 1982, I believe. Also, quite a few were looking good today, so their pictures were taken.

Turkish Turban--wish I could capture the colors in this one. This is bloom #1.

Turkish Turban #2.

Custard Candy showing 4 in a row, how neat.

Golliwog Clump with six big blooms--love this one.

Huge flower on Small World Snow Owl

Moon Over Monterey looking pretty today

My seedling I plan to name Renoir something if I ever make up my mind as to what it should be.

The unknown double orange putting out twins today. Such a pretty color.

Beautiful Edgings--another goodie

A really lucky butterfly shot--this one is loving our pink and yellow lantana blooms.

Closing with Zeke taking a break from doing the garden tour with us.

Everything is very lovely. Always like to see butterfly pics, and so many pretty ones it is hard to choose, but I think I like Turkish turban the best.

The daylilies all are beautiful, I especially love the color of the first one.
Lots of people pooh pooh Custard Candy I think, pretty common I guess, but I'm very fond of it. How can one not like a daylily that the blooms always open nicely & look good. Same with Beautiful Edgings, hardly ever a bad bloom.
Beautiful clump of Golliwog! & Zeke is looking especially handsome today

Oh, how BEAUTIFUL everyone! I love daylilies and irises, so this is a lovely treat on a dreary gray morning. My daylilies and irises are still just doing foliage - no blooms for me for a month or so. Meanwhile, I can dream of 'Cordoba' and 'Epicenter,' and 'Waiting For Peace' and 'Wispy Rays.' I have a large bunch of seedlings that should bloom for the first time this year, and I am SO excited.

Well now, have mercy! All those lilies were so pretty but then I saw that photo of Clown Parade and nearly fell off my chair. When you're that drop-dead gorgeous how can you not show off? Where oh where can I buy myself a Clown Parade? My next favorite would be the first one, the Westbourne one. I am enjoying all your postings and can never get enough so keep them coming! Celeste

Marg, you will love BEAUTIFUL EDGINGS. I just planted her last spring (2 or 3 fans) and this year she has 7 fans and put up 5 scapes. The flowers this year are much larger than last year. I truly love this flower. Rita, do you grow SANTAS LITTLE HELPER? I think you would love it. It's supposed to frequentlly have proliferations, but so far I havent' detected any. I would love to proliferate this daylily around my yard, and the way it increases this looks like a sure thing. The color is riveting. Kay, CIMARRON ROSE makes a real statement. Today was cloudy and the large deep rose blooms were beautiful all day. Debra, yes they're all opening now, we've have a few days of 'normal' June weather which may be helping. Thank you all for commenting. Christine

Thank you everybody! Speaking of scapes. Some are so tall this year, for instance on S.Doodlebug. I also found a.. rebloom scape, wow! So excited. The normal ones aren't even ready to bloom, and there it was, little rebloom scape :) That's on 70x7. Also found another broken (blasted) scape. Two on Linda's Magic. They are very very thick. And found a fused scape or whatever it would be called, looks like two stuck to each other, weird. Kay, thank you. It was very sad :( Here they are: Blood sweat and tears*, Cast Your Net, Cherry burst, Chicago apache, Daringly different, Filled to overflowing*, Gwin Leman, Handwriting on the wall, Healing touch, Iowa girl, Kitty Wells, Linda Beck, Man of sorrows*, Rachelle Agin, Russian Temple, Song writer, Sp cranberry kid, Vanilla Lace, Xia Xiang. #20 would be No more tears, but I had another one, 2 yo, which died too, but remarkably came back, and looks ok now, but won't flower. The ones with * are re-ordered :) And I will definitely someday reorder Ru Temple, because it was the reason for one of the last year's orders. Thankfully the price came down even more.

Lovely butterfly picture! Zeke is sure a lovely kitty. My favorite daylily here is the unknown orange double. And I usually don't much like doubles. But it is a beauty.

Custard Candy DOES look very pretty. Wonderful when they line up just right for the camera. Golliwog is just such an interesting flower! And I love it when people post pictures of their kitties. They're the real stars of the garden. :D

I can see why you love the first one so much. The color is so pleasing. I myself love a lot of the oldies and Moldovan sure has some great ones. I have observed my Custard Candy presenting its blooms the same way, all lined up like they're waiting for the bus...LOL. It's not flashy like some but it sure blooms reliably. Every time I see Golliwog I am infatuated with it. It's just so unique-looking. The blooms look so BIG on those short scapes which some people may not like, but I like a lot.
Do you remember where you got it from? I would love to have it in my garden.
All your blooms are gorgeous, and the butterfly too....but ZEKE is the best! That is one handsome boy kitty for sure.
Love him!

Turkish Turban is one I haven't seen before. I love lavenders, and that one is especially pretty. The Golliwog clump is gorgeous, and that is a great shot of the swallowtail. Thanks for including Zeke on the tour.

Thanks everyone, glad you liked the show. Really enjoy reading all your comments, and I know Zeke will be all puffed up to know that people think he is such a handsome fellow--LOL. Celeste, my Golliwog came from the Lily Auction. I believe it cost $6.50 for a five fan clump--what a deal, and it's been a great one to me. AHS lists the height at 25", so I expect in time the scapes will grow that tall, and it will look different than now. Even so, the flower size is listed at 8.25" and that is a big flower. Oh, Golliwog came from a grower in Wisconsin, so it should work in your climate.
About Custard Candy--this daylily was a mistake--had ordered something else, but received CC instead. It's been here about 3 years now, and I was ready to toss it, didn't really care for it that much until this year, guess it's grown on me, and it can stay. It is a Stout Medal winner, I believe for 1999.

I love your Custard Candy and all the other pics, but your seedling is my favorite. Your kitty looks a lot like our cat that died recently. Her name was Trouble, and we had her for over 20 years. I sure do miss her.
