Some blooms from the past few days

14 years ago

I've been really busy with my kids' last days of school, and I've missed looking at everyone's photos!

Here's a few daylilies that have bloomed for me recently:

Eden's Touch (first flower this year)

Ballerina on Ice (I got this last spring and this is the first flower. It was open perfectly first thing in the morning and has good substance and diamond dusting.

I think I'm really going to like this one - it also sent up instant rebloom scapes!)

Lucky Shamrock

Fanchion

Finally a couple more photos of Visual Intrigue to show how much it varies:

I'm disappointed-I really liked the first bloom better:

Beautiful photos! My favorite from this group would be Ballerina On Ice. That is a huge difference in VI, but I like both looks.

BOI is my fav also, but they are all beauties. VI is very interesting. I have several that will have a different look each time a bloom opens. I think they're fun when that happens, you never know what to expect. :)
Thanks so much for sharing your dl's.

mantis: I can only assume the lack of water and perhaps the late snowstorm and hard freezes we had this spring set SS back. It was doing so good when we had the spring warm up and then downhill. It is one of the ones I plan to move to the back garden. Linda: I'm willing to sweat a bit to get the pounds off from all the ice cream I've been eating the past month LOL. nat4b: I usually will get about 12 - 15 buds per scape on LOTW here. I still like this one even with the bad budcount this year. Ellie and Chris: Thanks for the comments. I took the photos of the one garden section last Thursday. Now, only a few blooms remain as of today. Sorry site for sure but makes it much easier to start moving plants. Julia

About the NOID purple: Laura - You are right about the bloom shapes not matching on Lounge Lizard and the NOID. The NOID has very round petals, while Lounge Lizard's are longer and more pointed. I know it's not Lord of Rings because I used to grow that one. Nancykvb - The color is similar to Mary's Baby, but the bloom is 6 inches. Julia - The seller was unable to identify it. Asking him was my first course of action. Out of the dozens of times I have received the wrong plant, I've only had one seller who was able to identify a plant by its photo. I always think that's odd. Several times sellers have replied that they don't have anything that looks like the daylily in my photo. So I'm always left wondering if what I got was a stray seedling.

'Monday was the first day without rain in 10 days'......can I switch regions with you for a week? LOL. Anyway, we did get a one day rain event, our first in an entire month. It barely put a dent in our drought. Now the forecast calls for more sunshine for another week. Weird how some places all it does is rain, and here all it does is shine. As to your lovely daylilies, I love that shot of SC Tigertail Tango and All Revved Up. Stunningly Different lives up to it's name!

Your NOID, Scarlet Pimpernel and Smoky Mt Autumn are my favorite. Nice seedlings. I especially like the one called Seedling 1 - so pretty! I know what you mean about not being satisfied with colors. The phone I was using last year although convenient got most of them wrong and intensified almost invisible veins and all those sort of things, I can not recognize my flowers when I look at pics ))

My Visual Intrigue is on its last bloom I think. It did the same thing yours did...but the one you dont like is how mine first bloomed then went to how your others did later. I love them both ways. And it bloomed so much too.
It earned its spot in my garden! LOL

Like LADY SHAMROCK! What is funny is that you like the first bloom on VI, and I like the last! I really dig those eye patterns.

Love Visual Intrigue, but I like the last pic best just for that unusual watercolor look. The later flowers are probably more noticeable though

I have heard lots of good things about Ballerina on Ice. And its looks the part!
It's wish list time.

Your first bloom on Visual Intrigue was stunning! But you'll get other neat blooms from it as time goes on. Ballerina on Ice sure is a beauty!

Thanks everyone! I think I confused some of you. My favorite bloom on Visual Intrigue was the first bloom, which is the last photo in this post (I posted this photo a few days ago too). I love the pattern and the almost blue metallic part was stunning - I'm disappointed that the rest of the blooms haven't had any hints of blue.

Almost hard to immagine that all those pictures of Visual Intrigue are the same. They look so different I might think they are all different daylilies. But you have some very pretty ones in those pictures.
