A Few FFOS To Show

10 years ago

There were some FFOS that I didn't realize were starting, so here they are, plus a some others that are blooming well.

El Desperado-- a small bonus plant that has impressed me by being able to put up a scape. The flower is small, of course, but in time I know this one will get up to speed.

Part-Time Princess--not the first bloom, but so superior to that one, I had to put it in. These blooms are really big, and I think absolutely terrific.

Starstruck FFO today and quite large

Zip Boom Bah--brand new and FFO open. This plant is also very small--I can just imagine how this will look in the future when it gets big.

Okay, finished with the new ones, wanted you to see Jean Swann clumps--this is such a good one for us. The flowers are all double, and look at the buds still left to bloom.

Welcome Mat was also blooming very well this morning

Royal Heritage--I threatened this one with the compost pile and look what happened--it put up 11 scapes and is blooming beautifully.

Closing out with a beautiful clump of Susan Weber--this was yesterday.

Susan Weber--oldie but goodie.

Yes, you really have a lot of Jean Swann. I like those Joiner doubles, and when they grow here (not always), they grow well. Part-Time Princess does indeed look good!

Oh my. You have some beautiful ones blooming. Love Susan Weber. Welcome Mat is beautiful, and I really like Zip Boom Bah. It looks like striped hard candy. My favorite, though, is Part Time Princess.

I went to Daylily manor's website, and they have some great deals! They even have peppermint pinwheel, which ive been dying to have, but its still $50. But that is the cheapest ive ever seen a double fan of that one sell for. I had to save the website under my favorites list LOL! That pic was a FFO on a new plant last year, Mildred was the only plant that was new to me that bloomed perfectly, and rebloomed the first year. So far im pretty impressed. I did cross her with some other flowers, but I just dab, and don't label any of the pods, so some of my seedlings may be her babies! At least I hope so. This is my first time trying to bloom my own crosses. I just have all my seedlings planted in a huge pot, and we will see what comes out of them. Im not real serious about it, just playing around to see what I can come up with. Who knows, they may all turn out ugly! Im just keeping my fingers crossed that some of them actually bloom this year. I planted them last summer, so I don't know we'll see! -Jessica

Thank you all for looking and commenting. Yes, Sherry she is four years old now and throughly rotten. She has leaned to make an approximation to "I love you"and that it gets her treats although she has to roll over twice to get it. Ruby Spider is doing very well this year and Kate, it is only a little more than halfway through blooming. I am throughly en3joying Garden Butterfly this first year. Debra, Lemon shards is reliable to pump out one or two perfect blooms after another. I really am liking it. Nancy, Laura always canoes the first two or three here. Indian Ripple usually has a pretty good clump, Julia. thank you. That was a very lucky shot of Garden Butterfly since it did look like a butterfly, didn't it. kay

what a cute name for a cat: Twinkle. He looks so calm and happy laying on his garden bench waiting for supper.........Can't pick a favorite daylily of this group. They all have something I like.............. Personally I'm getting sick of the rain here and can't wait until Friday when it moves out. Don't remind me I said this when the dry weather returns and I'm hauling around my hose again-lol.............Maryl

I was not happy with Dark Side Julia, until I moved it last year. It has been so pretty and grown so well in its new home. I have enjoyed Catastrophe Waitress since Chris gifted me with it, probably because I had such oohing and aahing over it every time she posted it. I got Vanilla Gorilla because I liked yours so well, Nancy,. And Sherry, I like intense oranges and got Extreme Tangerine because of that. Last year it was okay, but this year, that edge is so pretty and the bloom is larger and much, much taller. Debra, Coronation Day did nothing until I cut down the tree. Thank you all for looking and commenting. kay

the princess and zip boom bah are my favorite. I really like a vivid pink like that and with the lighter eye, very nice. and on Z boombah, the midrib is so cool with a white line echoed in the graceful extension of the pistil. what a nice flower.

Once again, you have some stunners to show us! All are so very pretty and once again, I am in awe of your hubby's superb weeding job....lol. Everything always looks picture-perfect. It's so hard to decide whom is the favorite of these but I do particularly like the clumps of Welcome Mat and Susan Weber and Part Time Princess is stunning. I am glad you gave Royal Heritage a stay of execution because it is glorious.
Wish I could 'borrow' your hubby to come weed my gardens. All this rain lately combined with not being able to get out there and work has the weeds out of control. My DH is terrific but he doesn't weed or garden at all. But he does mow the lawn on his riding mower...haha. And he can fix anything with a motor, so that's a plus.

Thanks, friends, to read what you have to say about the flowers. Looks like the Princess is the"winner" this time out-LOL. Most of you are probably like me, the FFO is fun to see but not necessarily the best one. In case anyone missed the info I posted before, Part-Time Princess is a bonus plant from Judy Davission. I was totally impressed by her doing this, because she lists it at $75 on her website. Celeste, my husband is the best, he is always working on the garden or something else around here. He also fixes everything that breaks, and like your husband, does all the mechanic work on our vehicles and mowers. As far as mowing, we both mow. I have my own riding lawn mower and he has his, and together it usually takes two hours or more--that's both of us mowing --to get everything done here. And, some of that weeding is done by me, at least in the morning before the heat sets in. Avedon
