nancy;If you have buds on your CLOWN PARADE, you will be getting blooms soon, too.WILD ONE is doing real good, here, too.Itis a bright one. ANNIE; Thank you for the nice comments. RITA, You are right about CLOWN PARADE,. I was looking at it every day,and couldnt wait till it got scapes,and buds on it.Now if BARNEY will hurry up.he has 2 scapes and buds, so wont be long till Barney has a bloom, too:))) JULIA,Thank you for looking and commenting.Yea the blooms was too close together and the blooms couldnt open up on it.Maybe I can fix it the next time,if I notice that soon enough and do some thing to give more room for them to open.Its just too pretty to not be able to see all the blooms open up. ELLIE Thank you, I hope your babies do good for you.It does like to bloom. Jean

All three of the doubles appeal to me, and your seedling has nice color contrast between the eye and the petal color. It's good to see you posting again, Dean! Debra

They are all very pretty and it dont look like the rin has messed them up.Sure wish I could say MONDAY BLOOMS ON A RAINY DAY, but,The 3 blooms I had today didnt even look like a pretty daylily.FIERY MOMENT bloomed again.Might have been its last reblooms.was so hot outside I didnt look to see if any more buds was left.And rain, I been wondering just what is rain the last few months, because we sure have not had enough to comment about.It did come a little shower Saturday evening, but had more lightening and thunder then anything.It was trying to make us thing we was going to get a lot of rain, but, didnt get very much, Close to a half inch and a hr later the ground was dry as powder again.

While this is a fairly young plant, I have had "Arkansas" before, as a NOID. Picked it up from Lowes or Home Depot. It is definitely a "standard" and from what I recall of my older mature plant, probably "medium" in normally trimmed form. I have been slowly but surely gifting all my NOID's except for the few that I have grown attached to. The Arkansas was one of my so-called reds that I really liked so the last time I placed an order w the SG, I put it on the order. I have been trying to find the fine line where I can keep some of my larger "standards" trimmed back to where they look nice but don't take up a dinner plate sized spot under the lights. This "Arkansas" is one of those plants. Hopefully careful trimming of the roots and leaves w leave me w a slightly smaller example. We'll see!
