Ah, your edgings are just as striking as those of the hybridizers' photos--the benefits of a mild climate.

Thanks Lainey so much. Do you grow any seeds? The first year I grew about 300 seeds. Alot of mine and a few bought ones. This one was bought. It's so much fun(and hard work). If you haven't started yet, do it, you'll love it but start out with only a few if you have a job, kids, or both. Thanks again, Mona

Natanya- Lots of people don't realize how pretty much of Long Island really is until they come out here. Lesley - I bought RUBY LIPSTICK on the LILY AUCTION last fall. Otherwise I would have no idea were to get it either. Everyone- MICHEAL BENNETT was a bonus with something I bought, I don't even remewmber what. I had no idea of what it looked like until it bloomed.

Best Bud Counts 2010 Part 2
Q
Comments (18)
Well, I was doing bud counts, and the plants kept putting up instant rebloom scapes and doing that bud building thing that I just decided to count scapes instead. I have been blessed with such heavy bloom and for so long a time this year. 14 scapes - Intelligent Life ...it wouldn't surprise me too much if it decided to send up a scape again. 12 scapes - Citrix, Filled to Overflowing, Count it All Joy, Heaven's Edge,Remembering Elizabeth and North Wind Dancer 10 scapes - South Seas, Cinco de Mayo, All American Windmill and Palace Garden Beauty. Citrix started with a pitiful bloom the 2nd of June. Every other bloom on it had been perfect. Today, it squeezed out one last bloom that was not perfect, but it had bloomed for so long, and almost always multiple blooms! Filled to Overflowing started blooming the 4th of June. It still has quite a few blooms to open. I had never had a day lily bloom for such a long period of time before. Three weeks was outstanding. Next year will have to be a let down since this has been such a remarkable year for bloom, instant rebloom, and regular rebloom. kay

What's Blooming in your garden - photo thread - PART 2 July 2013
Q

Pixie Lou, you have a lot of nice lilies. I only have a few because of the RLLB. I just couldnÃ¢ÂÂt keep them clean if I had too many. As it is, the Ã¢ÂÂOraniaÃ¢ÂÂ this year looked fine until after it bloomed I noticed the foliage has a fair amount of holes in it. You canÃ¢ÂÂt cut the stalks back to the ground after blooming, right? I would like to have enough to smell them in the house, but nope. The Ã¢ÂÂOraniaÃ¢ÂÂ does make the whole front walkway a very pleasant trip when they are blooming. And thanks, glad the comparison of peppers was interesting. I think growing hot peppers does make a difference, they seem to be a more vigorous and shapely shrub that produces more and smaller peppers. The large sweet peppers seem to be more difficult to get more than a few per plant. Thyme2dig, what a pretty daylily border! IÃ¢ÂÂm not always pulled to purchase a daylily and some of that is the way I see them being used. The way you have planted them all together that way without competition from other plants and with that great shrub border behind it, I really like it a lot. What is that dark shrub in photo #3? And is that Nasturtium at the base of your purple tripod? Jane, I donÃ¢ÂÂt blame you about the FarmerÃ¢ÂÂs Market next year. I took a couple of yearÃ¢ÂÂs off from the vegetable garden and I missed it and here I am still doing it. :-) But is this year an exception? I think some years are not the greatest and this year just wasnÃ¢ÂÂt. IÃ¢ÂÂm going to try to salvage some of the season and go for some fall crops of Broccoli and Lettuces and Kale and other greens. This weekend IÃ¢ÂÂm probably going to start. I have three squash plants without a squash between them. *sigh* Spedigrees, thatÃ¢ÂÂs a good looking lily and the foliage is a lot cleaner than mine. :-)

Moonllight Sail and Linda Beck are such wonderful purples, and Girls Night Out has fabulous edge! The Executive Decision clump is bright and beautiful, and Happy Apache seems to be waving at us. Great photos, all of them!

hooray for happy apache! mine hasn't bloomed yet. I hope they are good this year. I got that one after the first time I attended a daylily club meeting, and saw it in the slide show and came directly home and found one online! ha

What a great picture of Linda Beck. The color is perfect as are the blooms. Not only has mine been splotchy this year it's also hung up a few times. I hope I have enough buds left to finally get something as pretty as you have...Maryl

Maryl, LINDA BECK looked like your picture at the beginning of the blooming season. We had the daylily beds sprayed last week for Pharoah and Acrobat ants and the blotchiness is almost gone now. In fact, today is the first time I've been able to take a half-way decent picture of ALEXA KATHRYN. We had been spraying aggressively for thrips, and seeing so many blotchy blooms was very discouraging. I had no idea that tiny little ants could damage blooms and buds like that.

Ants? Hadn't thought about them. They can be a problem here. I'll have to look at the blooms more closely. Haven't seen many Thrips this year, but then I've had to spray a round of AVID for a bad case of spider mites and AVID will kill adult Thrips they say....It's always heartening to know someone else understands your problems. Congrats now on your unmarred blooms. You really captured the color of Linda Beck in your picture...Maryl
