my first daylily bloom of 2013

10 years ago

and out of at least 10 photos of it, this was the best one, which really not any good either.The sun was up bright when I found it,and I could not see with the camera to get a decent photo. going to need some practice, plus get out side before the sun gets up when they start blooming.Hopefully my next photo will be better.

Good Morning Arif, How beautiful your lilies are. I hope you are able to put your hybridizing skills to work this year and set some seeds...or it may be too hot in Lahore to have much success. Kathy, how cool is it to have our seeds doing so well so far from home? Do any of these flowers look familiar? Thanks for sharing pictures Arif and please post more. Regards, Susan

Rita, your roses are spectacular!!!! Mine are just starting and will be in full bloom in about 2 - 3 weeks and I can't wait. I lost a few over the winter, the most I've ever lost so the 'show' won't be as spectacular this year. I have to deal with the horrible japanese beetles all summer so I won't be replacing them. I get tired of fighting the beetles because they always win. It's good to see your daylilies are starting up because we are all in for a treat! Everything in your yard looks wonderful, as always. Lucky, lucky people passing by and your neighbors to enjoy such beauty. Celeste

Nice! We had a hot Feb., cold March/1st half of April, then hot 2nd half of April and May, now cooling down for June. Crazy! Our weather man is amazing. When we were having a hot Feb. he predicted a cool down, then he predicted a warm up and then this coming cool down. He really watches patterns, etc. And he doesn't buy into the climate change garbage at all. He looks at historical patterns and sees we've been here before over and over. We are so fortunate to have such a great guy! It helps gardeners and farmers to have a helpful & practical person rather than a political one.

Looks like a perfect picture to me Kay, a beautiful first bloom! Just enough ruffle & lovely color.
And so it starts for you now. I saw a scape yesterday on Little Rosy Cloud & the common Stella. If I hadn't been weeding & so close I wouldn't have seen them, just barely coming out. Still, won't be long now.

I think the picture is great Jean. It just shows a close up of the throat. Do I see a green throat at the back? Beautiful daylily. Love the color. Marg

WOW you have a really nice one for your first bloom. I know how hard it is to get a good photo when the sun is up, what helps me is that I grow mine in pots and I have a shady spot on the side of the house that I move mine to when I want to take a photo.

HAHAHA MaryL, You learnt me last spring, didn't you with WONDER OF IT ALL. I DO LOVE THAT DAYLILY.I am so sorry I wore every one out last spring with all my photos o f that glorgeous bloom. I promise I will TRY to do better this year.well,I do have some other daylilies I love almost as much, too that has a few scapes and buds already.C:LOWN PARADE has a couple scapes and buds now, and cant think of that other one I love, some thing about MARKETPLACE is all I can remember right now.

Celeste,,Linda, thank you for the nice comments, Linda, about half of mine are in pots.They are easier to take care of in pots, don't you think? but they dry out ffaster.
Julia, nancy, and marg.Thank you for looking and the kind comments on my first daylily bloom of the year.
Today,I had a bloom on a stella, but, didn't take a picture of it... Today, my young daughter that paid for a perm for mothers day gift for me yesterday, came back today with 2 dozen red roses, they are were just beautiful.., hope every one had a wonderful mothers day.

Jean, I hope your Malaysian Marketplace is cranking out scapes like ours is. It is so pretty. What nice gifts you got for Mother's Day, you should take a photo of your roses and post it. Avedon

Avedon.I never even thought to take a picture of my 2 dozen red roses. I will check, maybe they would still be ok for a photo.They don't last a real long time in a vase.I guess why I didn't think of it is because my upper back and ribs and chest at times is hurting really bad most of the day..hard to just move, much less to do some thing.
