Friday the 13th photos

9 years ago

Well, here's one Mantis requested: a clean bloom of RED EDITION. I had one better than this on Wednesday with a wider ruffly edge, but I didn't photograph that day. We've had rain every day this week, so I moved the pot with RE under the carport last night to avoid rain damage. The one drawback with this one is its lack of substance. By early afternoon on humid days, the blooms become rather droopy and limp. They hold their color though.

Thanks for your comments. Debra, this is my first year with seedlings, other than one which I hybridized on a lark several years ago after I saw a TV program on how to dab pollen. I bought a few of the seeds for this year's blooming seedlings on the LA, but I traded cottage garden seeds for most of the others. Overall, I am pleased with the results, but I have had some that are just so-so and some that are dogs. I guess I do feel lucky for a first timer. Fairysoapgirl, I also like the Cancun Honeymoon seedlings. They both have high bud count, so I think I will keep them around all summer to see if they rebloom. Okbt, I had such high hopes on the Gary Colby seedling. I just KNEW I would get a big edge, but that did not happen. I will keep it around for a little while, but it had better shape up fast. Ann

Well, it turns out my Friday the 13th was a lucky day for me. After years of working long stressful days at the office while living with chronic pain, a doctor wrote me a note for four weeks off. During that time off, I will undergo x-rays, MRI and CT scans to assess the various problem areas (neck and lower back) and hopefully take some much needed action to correct what we can. It's just been so difficult to get away for dr. appointments without impacting my fellow designers with additional work while I'm out. But after a number of friends and family insisted I think about me and not everyone else. I got myself in to see a spine specialist. Yea! I can sure use the time off to heal and get my head back on straight. The pain just wears me out. Jodi-

Friday 13th Full Moon Harvest Moon!
Q
Comments (21)
To Schoolhouse: Good news! If you live one more year, you can view the Harvest Moon again. There is a Harvest Moon every year. It is the full moon occurring nearest to the September equinox which is around Sept. 22. About 3 out of 4 Harvest Moons appear in September; About 1 in 4 appears in October. This year's harvest Moon is smaller than others since the moon is at its apogee ( its farthest distance from earth.) The moon's orbit is elliptical, not circular. It can be shown mathematically that an elliptical orbit is stable whereas a circular one is not. If a body in a circular orbit is perturbed, its orbit will change to an ellipse and will not return to a circular one. If a body is in an elliptical orbit and gets perturbed, it merely changes the shape of the ellipse as determined by the change in momentum of the orbiting body.

A very clean bloom, indeed! Your foliage also looks clean. I have a lot of leaf streak this year. What causes particularly bad leaf streak? We've had lots of ups and downs in the weather department. I also fertilized with some manure earlier this year. Some plants that seldom get leaf streak are affected.

The clarity of your photos always impresses me. That's a beautiful photo of Red Edition. Too tender for my area, I'm assuming?

Red Edition is lovely, very nice edge. Bill Norris is one daylily I wouldn't be without. I'm like Jean, not much on yellows, but Bill is so dependable, always reblooms & every bloom is perfect. Your clump of BN is lovely.

Mantis - Leaf Streak is a fungal disease. I've only seen it here after very wet spring weather. Supposedly it can be minimized by eliminating overhead waterering.

Chris - I have no idea whether Red Edition would be tender in your area. It is an evergreen. After losing so many plants last winter and having many more reduced to a fraction of their former selves, I would say plants could be "tender" anywhere.

Debra, as always your photos are lovely. That clump of Bill Norris is like a clump of sunshine. It is very cheerful. Red Edition is my favorite...red you know.

When I first started out in daylilies only the full figured gals got my attention, but after seeing ones such as your wonderful picture of Hold your Horses I find my prejudice fading away a little each year.....I've never thought of humidity causing a daylily to melt. I still have problems with Citrix holding it's substance past noon (color holds fairly well until late afternoon). Maybe that's the reason. It hasn't been all that hot here lately, but it has been humid because of the frequent showers. Hummmm......Maryl
