More blooms from Nashville

13 years ago

I was expecting Walking in Beauty to bloom this morning. I got it as a bonus last year and planted it next to the WIB I already had. But when I looked this morning, it was NOT Walking In Beauty. It was a short, highly saturated rose pink in the 6-inch range. Does anyone know what it might be? I really like it.

I love that pink too, in fact, it is my favorite. But I am partial to pinks.

just love the photography...awesome! Love all the blooms. Bali Watercolor and Free Wheelin' are must haves for me.

rane: Received your package today. Thanks a ton! You're very kind. My ex had already filed a forwarding address, so the package was 4 days late getting to me. Only the Kellog's tomato made it, but the seeds are awesome! I plan on sowing the spinach & several others. Thanks again. =) With your kind additions & 2 other packages i've received recently, my garden is almost back to full speed. The tomatoes & peppers got affected the most (ones that didn't get washed away mostly succumbed to disease...My best plant will prob produce only about 1/3rd of what it normally would), so i'll only have a few plants of each of those, but I bet the Kellog's breakfast will keep me going later in the year when the others have been about spent. If you ever need anything, please let me know. - Steve

Linda - Destined To See is just a great daylily. It's one of those that not matter how hot, it always looks good at the end of the day. I have several seedlings from it, so I'm exciting to see what kinds of kids it produces. Ellie - Texas Blue Eyes is a new one for me. I'm glad to hear it doesn't melt for you. It probably will stand up the heat better after it settles in. I'm having the same problem with Winter Wolf. Gonegardening - Walking In Beauty was a wonderful surprise bonus. Does life get any better than that? I was really impressed with it in Stamile's catalog, but I had so many other Stamile pinks that I didn't buy it. I'm glad to hear it's doing well for you. Mona - It's so hard to stop buying them. I swore I would limit myself to no more than three new ones this year. But somehow I ended up with more than 20 - and I was already out of space. LOL Now I'm going to have to buy more land to keep up with my daylily addiction. Debra

Yeah, but this is a new owner. Good guy! Btw -- he's got some reasonable looking oakleaf hydrangeas, I think in three gallon tubs, for only $9.95 -- not a named cultivar, but still a good price. :-) I bought the BIG "Looking Glass" begonia for $8.95 -- the baby B. rajah, B. conchifolia, and B. escargot for $3 each -- quart foxgloves 'Apricot Beauty' for $5.99 each -- baby variegated Monstera for $10 -- nice Philodendron 'Pink Princess' for $20 (and worth it!). Some stuff is still pricey -- I wouldn't pay for his gallon columbines at, I think, $8 each -- but if you look in all the corners you'll find interesting stuff! Thanks for the dinner offer! I grew up in Nashville, though, so I always eat with my folks before I go home. But maybe lunch some time, when I've got enough time! :-)

Lovely collection of daylilies for this time of year! Larkspur Blues is a delicate beauty. Too bad Braided Edgings hasn't done well, it is a beautiful flower. Sea Shell Lullaby is a wonderful color, maybe my favorite of these. WOIA is always beautiful, and I like Last Chance too. Like Mantis, I like the white midribs on daylilies. Your hollyhock is really pretty. I grew hollyhocks for a while, but again, Japanese beetles decimated them. I still get an occasional one pop up from seed.

They're all nice, I like the picture of Free Wheelin' with the tradescantia in the background. My favorite is Colorado Moon Fire. Love that color!

Free Wheelin' looks great in that pic, is that a purple fence behind it?

Debra, Your photography is awesome. Colorado Moon Fire is gorgeous and looks like you could just reach out and touch it. And I love the colors in the Free Wheelin' picture. It is so cool. I wish I knew the name of your unknown. It is beautiful. So is your seedling.

Ben - I think you're on to something with that Cerise Masterpiece suggestion. But I think it looks closer to Cerise Beauty, a child of Cerise Masterpiece. Someone on another forum who has Cerise Beauty suggested that might be it.

Buyorsell - The "purple fence" backing Free Wheelin' is actually my red barn. The photo was taken in shade in the early morning and that made the barn and the eye of Free Wheelin' appear darker than they really are. Also, the spiderwort flowers are lavender and not really blue.

Ngraham - Bali Watercolor is my favorite Stamile spider. But Free Wheelin' may edge it out in my favor as it matures. The bloom is just gigantic, with the petals curling back during the course of the day. The plant habit, however, it kind of wimpy here.
