Thursday Blooms from Oklahoma (pics)

16 years ago

I was running early this morning (will wonders never cease!) so I actually had time to run around with my camera and take some pictures...and a notecard to write down names!

I discovered I must have a fascination with red daylilies...I have a bunch of them. Unfortunately my camera does not capture them well at all, so I didn't take any of those. However I had a bunch more.

I love Wildfire Tango, it just glows:

Beautiful Daydream:

I've been lusting over this bloom every time I see it in the catalog and I was smacking myself for not ordering it this spring...I guess I already ordered it last fall :)

Jedi Dot Pierce:

My unknown daylily from the other day turned out to be Chorus Line...I found the tag.

And a couple unknown pinks:

Kay you are right I thought Cosmic Traveler was the wrong color also. It was a bonus plant from the grower and that's what was on the tag. I guess I just have to add another Niod to the list. Thanks to everyone for all the nice comments and Caramel says thanks to. Caramel wandered into the yard one day with Little Boy and after a little trip to the vet to change their outlooks on life they both joined the cat family. Linda

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.

Thanks for the comments. Geechee Sunset was recommend several years ago by a former forum member. It has an unusual way of blooming very deep colors here in the beginning and then as more blooms open, they become lighter. It is a workhorse but this year it needs dividing along with Bahama Butterscotch and a few others. They start to crowd out other plants. No More Tears really surprised me this year with so many multiple blooms in the beginning. Julia

Hey, does that last one look like Hush Little Baby? I think I might be.

I know it was ones of those ones I kept putting on the list to order....

Beautiful - especially the pinks! That last unknown looks a lot like my Becky Lynn.

Juliet, that's a possibility, I think I did have a Becky Lynn at one point. Thanks!
