Playing catch up...Part three

13 years ago

Here's one from way back before I was even thought of...an old historical, Hyperion (1924). It's a light lemon yellow, camera fades it out.

I don't remember if I've posted these in another thread a couple days back, if so, well, here they are again!

Couple of bed shots. I'm thinking to move the daylilies along the garage into a new bed, and plant hostas there instead. It's too shady. Poppy is posing for me.

That's all.

Poppy looks happy to be surveying the garden flowers. How shady is it there by the garage? I see blooms on those daylilies there. I don't know if you like asiatic lilies but they thrive in much less sun than optimum for daylilies. Also upright sedums don't need that much sun and look great with hosta or lilies. I bet Catmint with grow wonderfully these too.

If you going to do some redoing of that bed, consider putting some nice sturdy trellis back up near the garage walls and plant some vines. Many of the vining honeysuckles bloom almost all the time.

KEY TO MY HEART is my pick of this lovely batch of blooms.

Hi All, Thanks for all the kind comments... Seedling 003 keeps changing its eyezone... all of them being very cool! First year to bloom, so I need to keep an eye on it over the next year. Seems like the hot weather made the eyezone more intense. Mike - I don't know how you make it! I was going out every day in MARCH... thinking, it is spring already... bloom dang you! :o) I bet they are building up their strength to put on a real show for you. Jacqueline - That Going Bananas is a monster bloomer. If you can ever get your hands on some, you should. Each clump has 10 scapes up at a time. 17 blooms today on three small clumps. Beautiful form, and the picture does not do the yellow color justice - is it super bright and clear. Stands out from the crowd! Missy - Little Blue Belle is right... sorry. Lrae, I took a chance on Earlene Garber... wasn't exactly sure how it would turn out... I could really only find one picture of it, but mine turned out just like the picture. The pink is kind of irridecent in real life, making the color really beautiful. Thanks Barb... been running around like mad in the mornings! Pictures, pollinating, collecting pollen...whew! Had a really nice weekend away in California - but glad to be back with my DL! :o) Barb... hmmm.... have to think of something! Weaknesses - wine, food (especially baked goods), daylilies! Glad you like seedling 003. Can't wait 'till it multiplies and makes a clump!

Chris, It took it some time to settle in. I moved it early this spring so was surprised the blooms looked half way decent on it!. I'm sure glad you gave up on it and sent it to me cuz I sure love the pretty blooms and there are LOTS of buds on it now. Debra, Thank you! I sure wished my shots looked as good as yours...LOL! Your clump shot of Cret. Crunch has a lot more bite than mine, but I sure love it! It took a good two years settling time for it to show it's bite. Purple Side Effects was added to my garden last fall. I ordered Bass Gibson and Ruckus from Throughbred and Annette sent PSE as bonus! Purple Cheetah was added last fall as well. Jean, I would be happy to send you some banned in Boston once it cools down a little bit, email me through my page. Natanya, Adorable Tiger is even more striking in person, can't explain it, but this beauty is bright! I really LOVE IT! Candy Cane Dreams is another of my favorites. It seems to glow to me! Val, Thank you. Clarification has been a proven winner, the deer never seemed to eat it's buds....LOL Now that I have it within a protected fence, I plan to do some hybridizing with it. PSE is too new to comment. ELLIE....LOL...Does that mean that one will be on your list of wants for our spring trade list? Michelle, Thank you for looking, I sure enjoy seeing your beauties too! Been a long day folks, going to bed just before midnight for once! Nancy

Debra, Someplace Special is pretty special when she polys....I love it too! I cannot determine performance of Sink Into Your Eyes other than it has survived a flood, followed by ice storms a plenty in winter 2006 followed by deer relentlessly chomping it season after season! The Lambertson cultivars do well for me here. This is the first year I've seen it bloom since buying it in 2006! Jean, Thank you for your admiration. Michelle, I split a small clump of Summer Star off for a friend year before last and you can't even tell I divided anything off of it! As far as blooming goes, My garden has been so devestated by deer since 2007 that I really can't comment on the blooming part of it. It just started blooming this week so time will tell. THANK YOU all for looking and commenting. Nancy

Playing catch-up: 2009 Bloom season!
Q

Thanks! Ngraham - with rain, colors have been deeper and more vivid this year, especially after rain. We had nearly 2" of rain yesterday. So I grabbed the camera - you know bloom season is down and out when you grow 800 + daylilies and you only can find 16 to take pictures of (and some of those were duplicates.) At any rate, here were a few blooms this AM after heavy rain. First, the lovely LOLA BRANHAM, one of my favorites and a perfect example of the twisted cascade form. I have never seen the blooms look so "fat" or such a deep color before. Rain can sometimes have the effect of "fattening up" spiders and UFs. Anyone who can grow dormants and wants a LONG bloomer should look at STELLA'S RUFFLED FINGERS by my friend BJ Crichton. It starts EE and here has put up three sets of rebloom scapes. ( unheard of in this climate!) It is still blooming today and has lots of blooms left. This is a cute little one - great for front of border. Jane Trimmer's MICRO DOTS is another which has put up rebloom scapes. Great little one! HEARTBEAT OF HEAVEN is near the end of bloom, but the color today was darker ( and bloom was huge) after the rain. And a couple I just forgot to post last night. Here's one I can never seem to get a good picture of - Jack Carpenter's ESSENCE OF ROYALTY. And one by Reg.14 hybridizer Jesse George which has been a very reliable performer here. This is COACH'S CLASS ACT.

It's pretty shady, the sun hits it for only a couple hours and the rest of the time it's shade through the enormous maple. The sections along the fence and the center get more light. So I was thinking of moving the ones against the garage out into the yard where they'll get nearly all day sun (next spring) and plant a mix of hostas, heuchera, etc. They may get moved sooner if the boyfriend plans on redoing the roof and siding sometime this year. But I'm not holding my breath on that one. He's been talking about it for three years.

Knights in White Satin is my favorite. It performs very well here, too. Big flowers and so fertile.

I like the "walkway" through the daylilies, and I especially like Poppy. Folks who own/rescue greyhounds are the best.

These are all great pics. I got some seeds which is a cross of KNIGHTS IN WHITE SATIN x ALBERTA CLIPPER and they all germinated and growing great. So now I know what one of the parents looks like.

Poppy seems to be giving us a tour.
