My first daylily photo this year

16 years ago

Finally after looking at everyones gorgeous photos I have a bloom of my own! (Not perfect - thrips seem to like this daylily a lot.)

Edith Vaughan

She has a lot of diamond dusting - some of it shows up in this photo:

Pretty Juliet, I'm not familiar with that cultivar but I like it. The diamond dusting is beautiful and your photo shows it perfectly.
You'll be posting lots of photos soon, I'm sure, now that your bloom season has begun.
Thank for sharing.

Thanks everyone! Julia - I bought it from Critter Creek Farm, which is zone 8, one zone warmer than mine. It didn't grow very well when I got it (all the other ones I got from them did fine). It's doing a lot better now - it's got 2 new fans. shive - in the photos I've seen of Visual Intrigue, it varies a lot. I hope it has this kind of eye often. The bluish part actually looked a little metallic. I read somewhere that it needs below 65Â° nights for this to happen. Juliet

OITGAD, maybe I can help you with the insertion of pictures. At least I'll try. First you have to upload your pictures to a host site like photobucket or picturetrail. It's really easy to do and when you get them uploaded, photobucket is the easiest, look at your picture and below it will be 3 lines of text. The middle one is the url. Highlight the URL and right click and copy. Come back to the forum and when you have your message typed just right click and paste the URL into the photo. *This is with Photobucket*. If you choose to use another web host then after you upload your picture you will have to right click on the picture and then click properties, copy the URL and then go back to your message and type [img src=this is where you right click and put your URL] where I have put the [ and ] you will need to change those to and that's it. Hit preview and submit. There is a test forum for pictures that you may want to try it in before you use the regular forum and people there who will help you to tell you what you're doing wrong if you have a problem. Good luck and have fun! Nancy

Nice! We had a hot Feb., cold March/1st half of April, then hot 2nd half of April and May, now cooling down for June. Crazy! Our weather man is amazing. When we were having a hot Feb. he predicted a cool down, then he predicted a warm up and then this coming cool down. He really watches patterns, etc. And he doesn't buy into the climate change garbage at all. He looks at historical patterns and sees we've been here before over and over. We are so fortunate to have such a great guy! It helps gardeners and farmers to have a helpful & practical person rather than a political one.

Still too early for me here but I do see some scapes coming up. That Belle Island Sentry is a nice one to wake up to. Your Amaryllis is so full. Do they survive in the ground for you? I didn't think they were that hardy.

Thanks everyone! Edith Vaughan isn't that big - 5.5". She's a 1985 dip by Spalding. She's registered as a midseason, but is the first to bloom for me.

Juliet,
Congrats on the first bloom! love the diamond dusting, my Sue rothbauer is like that too. Just found a scape peeking up from her this morning. Got my first bloom on Little grapette this morning. I had forgotten how small the blooms are on that one. My Mildred Mitchell has a bud that is bulging and looks like it could just pop open like a balloon flower! You can even see the pink throught the cracks, pretty sure ill have my FFo of that one to post tomarrow. Its our turn up here in the north now!!! - Jessica

Juliet, Isn't it exciting? When they first start blooming, I'm up before daybreak...just waiting for it to get light enough to go outside. Normally, I'm not a morning person...but when I those blooms first start coming I turn into an early bird.

Very nice pictures, Juliet! That's a nice bloom, even with the thrip damage.

I'm waiting for my first daylily blooms, but when they start popping I'll be out every morning with my camera. My kids are used to me taking the camera out early to get pics (I've already gotten many pics from daffodil season, tulip season, lilac season, iris season, peony season, etc. etc. and on and on LOL). Just WAIT till daylily season starts up here!
