Things are really ramping up in Southern Ohio. Wish it wouldn't rain everyday and destroy my blooms. Not a lot of rain just 5 min down pours to destroy the flowers.

Will start off with some registered ones blooming.

Carved Pumpkin Pie one of my favorites multi blooms daily.

Grandma Rita's seedling. (Undivided Heart x Unknown) 4th bloom from the one I posted a few days ago. Still looking good.

Another seedling from Undivided Heart X Unknown I must have taken 200 pics of this daylily trying to capture the color. This is as close as I could get and the pic doesn't do it justice.

Seedling Larry's Obsession X Spacecoast Royal Rumble. going to throw some Pumpkin Pie Pollen at this one today and hope for some deeper carving instead of just sculpting.

Seedling Golden Throne X Across the Galaxy.

RE: Alliums. They generally multiply. Different species and varieties bloom at somewhat different times, from about Mid-May to about Mid-to-Late-June here for me. Generally seem to be pest proof, but I lost an entire large planting, over 100 bulbs, of the expensive Globemaster to voles a few winters back, just made me sick when I saw NOTHING coming up in the spring, then realized the entire bed was undermined with vole tunnels. I don't know if they ate them or just chewed them up tunneling through. The species A. aflatulence is about the earliest of the larger, purple globe types. Gladiator seems to bloom a tad earlier than Globemaster if memory serves, but not by much, a few days. A good later one towards the end of the allium season is A. christophii or 'Star of Persia' which can have basketball sized heads and which multiplies incredibly freely, since it self-sows seeds and those seedlings will bloom the second spring.

Thanks for all of the compliments! Nancy, don't pack your bags yet... We get some lovely blooms, but a lot of the really exotic eyes just wash out here, and edges more often than not tend to be finicky on opening. But when we do get a beauty, unless it's an exceptionally warm day, we get to enjoy it for the entire day, and sometimes still the next am if you are out early enough! Juliet...My Always Afternoon varies a little between purple and rosier depending on the day. I usually end up having to take pictures in the evening, so that makes a bit of a difference as well. One thing that I love about the daylilies is that they are never quite the same.... you can take 20 pics different blooms on the same lily, and they will all look different! Julie... My favorite DL color depends on the day and what I am looking at when you are asking me! Someone else had written in one of the posts that they found themselves going through a "kick" when they order their plants... and I know that I definitely do! Two years ago, I went through a purple/eye/edge kick, and I do have quite a few. On the other hand, last fall it was an orange/yellow/red kick. I am still waiting for blooms on the majority of of those ( Hopefully I will get to see the FFO on Halloween Hocus Pocus and Volcano Queen tonight! ) Fortunately, when you mix all of those "kicks" into a large planting area, the overall result is delightful! I feel very fortunate that I don't have to chose even 20 favs, as I just don't think that I could! Julie

Here is a few more after last night's rain, and I will finally post the pics I had of the first bloom of Brown Velvet, from a bud till a week later--the petals finally came off in the rain last night. Brown Velvet day one--sorry for the blur, but as you can see it was raining at the time day three--also, the one from the name that rose game was from this day day four day 8--last day before petals fell in the rain. finally looking a bit more brown than orange, though I would still call that color a pale salmon rather than brown.

ESMERALDA was pretty thirsty tonight. I have water all over the pen in different containers besides this rubber tub. Gotta keep 'em hydrated in these triple digits! A buncha the girls foraging around... Gotta have the "chicken butt" shots!! They have the cutest butts... except when they get pasty butt like Josephine... GABRIELLA - one of my beautiful Brahmas. They are huge birds. I have a feeling when they start laying, their eggs will be bigger than Elvira's! More foraging... MORTICIA - Elvira's sister. She's my noisiest bird. She makes all sorts of sounds and practically yells. Sometimes she sounds like a dentist's drill buzzing... My best girl FREDERIKA (Fred). She sit's on me and sometimes falls asleep on my lap. She's so pretty. She has a bum foot and sorta limps when she walks, and waddles so funny when she runs. I love her to pieces!! ROSALINA & HENRIETTA. Miss H is molting on her neck right now, and most of her beard is plucked! Silly birds... GRISELDA (Grizzie) - the sweetest of my two Barred Rocks. Her sister Ezzie bites me.. hard... draws blood sometimes. But I still love her too. They're all my sweeties. I just love them so much. Best thing we ever did... besides growing roses....

Carved Pumpkin Pie really looks good, I like the sculpting & the wide open look of it. All your seedlings are amazing, I especially like Grandma Rita's seedling.

Grandma Rita's seedling is very nice looking. Looks like a winner to me. But my favorite is the second seedling of Undivided Heart x Unknown, even though you said the color isn't exactly right.

I have tried to get an accurate picture of Mister Lucky (which is a vivid red) for the past couple of years and it just never looks like it does in person. I thought it might be my camera settings, but almost all the other daylilies look pretty close to actual color, although I have had trouble with a couple yellow-golds (Mary's Gold and Condilla).

Thanks all for the compliments. The Undivided Heart Seedlings are amazing. I still have 3 more from this cross that haven't even sent up a scape. Not sure if they are going to be lates or if I will just have to wait another year.

Rita - It is good to be back. I so missed everyone and seeing their daylilies and garden shots.

Mantis - the Golden Throne seedling is a first year 3-way branching with 9 buds. The first bloom got caught up with that edge but each one since then has greeted me wide open every morning by 7 am. (and it held up thru the 5 min down pours we have been having.)

Vickie - Usually a white piece of paper (even if I have to have it in the shot) gets me the correct color. But, not that seedling. I sure wish I could capture the color it is amazing.

Found some time to post a few pics!
