4 FFO's and 2 Repeat Clumps for Wednesday

11 years ago

Photos from the last few days:

Lady Lucille FFO The individual blooms on this one aren't all that special, but she is vigorous and floriferous and reblooms.

Swan Angel FFO This one has short skapes.

Born to Run FFO It isn't really this purple, but the camera did capture the blotchiness quite well.

Double Firecracker FFO

Santa's Little Helper Clump

Beautiful Edgings Clump I'm sure you're all getting tired of seeing this one but I just can't help myself.

Thanks for looking.

For me the clump shot of Santa's Little Helper steals the show!

Beautiful Etchings does it for me too! Thinking of purchasing it, especially since I heard it was an excellent performer! Age old question...where to put it.??? Andrea

Jean, I'm glad your favorite is Cimarron Rose, she is a special one. Debra, well you could be right about Notta Butte. I looked at all the photos online, and some are quite close to Mandarin Seas. But this has been such a strange year and the blooms are not all looking like their normal selves. What I like about Notta Butte, AKA Mandarin Seas, is that the orangeness is not really an orange throat, and it's not really an orange watermark, an it's not really an orange eye. It looks like someone took a paintbrush dipped in cantaloupe and brushed outward from the throat, feathering as they went along. So pretty. Happy Daylilies to you. Christine

deb, I'm glad you brought up Kropf double. I do have a few and have been holding off crossing anything with my Siloam doubles becuase I wasn't sure if it was worth the bother because it always runs through my mind that the Kropfs seems to be a hose-in-hose type double and my other doubles are all stamen petals (not sure if I"m terming all that right) so thus I wasn't sure about crossing. although I will say I was looking at Missouri Moon and thinking, well maybe it does have petal formed stamens... hmmm. I guess I'll have to consider that. I did try some crosses with Double RIver WYe but only one of them formed a pod. I have a beginner plant of Jeffcoat's Style planted next to this orangey double in prep of crossing them someday. ha thanks for the comment. oh yeah and M. Smk Rngs is 3 - 4" yes a smaller one.

Intelligent Design is beautiful, I always like it. I'm glad Berry Delicious is doing well for you there. I got mine last fall, the first blooms this year never opened really well. I was worried that maybe it would be splotchy, but didn't seem to be as far as I could tell, hopefully it will do better next year. It didn't have a lot of blooms & was one of the earliest plants to bloom. Maybe they were leftovers from last year & just couldn't finish up nicely :)

Thank you all for the comments, We had thunderstorms late yesterday afternoon and continued through late evening. Suppose to get more storms this afternoon and the humidity will start ramping up. The crosses I need a month or so ago with Spring Mystique and Lavender Blue Baby are looking very good. Some areas of the gardens are completely devoid of daylily blooms while other areas are continuing. Other perennials are continuing. julia

The two clump shots are both glorious. It's too bad they don't all perform like Santa's Little Helper and Beautiful Edgings. Swan Angel is angelic! Poor Born Run. Mine hasn't had the splotchies as bad this year, but it hasn't had nearly as many buds as in the past.

Look at all the buds on Beautiful Edgings. No wonder you want to post pics of it and we love seeing it.

I've heard that Born To Run can be a thrips magnetic. I have seedlings with BTR as a parent and I'm hoping no splotches when they start blooming again.
