9 years ago

I took some more photos on Thursday, but, didn't post them and some I took on Wednesday evening, too.1st one not a daylily but so pretty. sorry,I didn't get them in the right place and had to try and add them after I finishes

and not a daylily, but, some thing that decided it liked it here and stays here the last few weeks. a stray I been feding.

and this is not a daylily, but, oh so pretty, they call it the wishbone plant, don't know where they get a name like that as it looks nothing like no wishbone.it comes in several colors, but,i like this he best with purples.

and a few pink Asiatic lilies that is so pretty, I love the lilies.

The Torenia plant is very pretty. Velvet Eyes and Off Beat are my favorite daylilies, along with Wonder of It All. And the
little black cat is a cutie.

Your Heart of Fire has lots of buds. And your Wonder of It All looks better with every picture! Is torenia a plant that can tolerate heat? The kitty is lucky to have found you.

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

Thanks for the comments. Geechee Sunset was recommend several years ago by a former forum member. It has an unusual way of blooming very deep colors here in the beginning and then as more blooms open, they become lighter. It is a workhorse but this year it needs dividing along with Bahama Butterscotch and a few others. They start to crowd out other plants. No More Tears really surprised me this year with so many multiple blooms in the beginning. Julia

Nancy, Aquarelle is a favorite of mine. I love the color and the green throat. Rita, Tigerling is one I've had for a while and it always looks good. Irresistable Charm was new last year and I've been very impressed with its performance--and it's beauty. Chris, I don't think Purple Passage is very well known, but it's a great plant. Good bud count and always looks good. I just got Sherry Lane Carr last year myself and I really like it. Val

Thanks everyone. Julia, Forsyth FD is not new but I may not have posted it before. The first couple years it was short and way down in the leaves. It has finally gotten with the program! Nancy, Other years Jolyene has not rebloomed for me; hopefully it will this year now that it is more established.

Thank you Debra.I love this Torenia plantI use to have one years ago,and forgot to bring it in the first winter I had it and thought it had died, but, in the spring I found a bunch of little plants coming up and gowing, but,I finally had lost all of it,so I was very happy when I found a plant at our local nursery that only opens up a few months each spring.its a member of the African violet group, but,it tolerates a little sun very good.Thanks for your comments on the daylilies.
MANTIS: yes the TORENIA plant tolerates heat very well, just not a lot of hot sun, but it does like a little sunshine.Have to be careful with the watering and not over water it.Thats how I have killed several of them, over watering.let it dry out before watering again.and yes,it does like a little early morning sunshine or late evening.just not in the hottest part of the day,it needs in the shade, then.
This little kitty can be just a barrel of laughs..Every morning when it hears my front door unlock and open, it just comes from out of no where, just jumping up and down like a bucking horse, and it sits there waiting for its food it knows I am bringing. it sits there looking up at me,and moving b ackwards each step I make.It wants to be first to get its head in the bowl to eat, as the mother is always waiting by the step each morning, too.Shes wild and wont let me get too close to her, but, shes very pretty grey tabby.
