Wednesday Blooms

10 years ago

The weather is still very nice here, not hot and comfortable level of humidity.
So I have no excuse and need to go and weed those beds!!

Big Easy - bonus from either last year or year before, not a lot of buds, but this is not a good spot either
{{gwi:860663}}

Trilithia - I probably should cut that volunteer cosmos before it turns into a giant like last year :)
{{gwi:860664}}

Chance Encounter FFO - I already established that it won't open flat no matter what; last year it was very hot and it still had those partially opened blooms; it has 17 scapes this year, not sure yet about BC, but last year it was very decent
{{gwi:860665}}

Lullaby Baby - had a lot of buds in 2011, last year was sick
{{gwi:860666}}

I had three or four poly daylilies today, this is one of them
Yesterday's Secrets - with pattern again
{{gwi:860667}}

Loaves and Fishes FFO - it's one of them with 'way too instant' instant rebloom scapes :)
{{gwi:860668}}

Undercurrent FFO - I think it's supposed to be EE, no, only Stella is true EE here
{{gwi:860669}}
Sorry about the weeds all around, I have already weeded this area twice recently, the weeds are just crazy this year

Here is another poly - s.Double Classic

The Band Played On - now that's more like it, finally with more recurved petals

Thanks for looking!

Yum, Yesterday's Secrets with even more petals and that gorgeous pattern. Does it only have patterns like that when it's cool? Loaves and Fishes looks like a nice one. I take the rebloom scapes whenever I can get them.

You sure have a lot blooming already! I'm still waiting. Only a couple have started and most are still a week or two away. Must be because all it does here is rain and there hasn't been much sun.
My favorite of these is The Band Played On but I also like Loaves and Fishes. You get rebloom? I'm jealous...haha. It hardly ever happens here.

Continued WILLOW DEAN SMITH: Another tall one that is great in the garden. SUBLIMINAL CALLIGRAPHY in the pm. This one is vigorous and a bloom factory. SMALL WORLD BRIAN: Taken in the pm SWIMMING WITH SHARKS: Taken in the pm. Instant rebloom as each fan has two scapes. SPLENDID TOUCH in pm: A rather tailored bloom. SASSY SHANNON in the pm. A rather vigorous one. PINK STRIPES in the pm. Scape heights are all over the place. ETHYL BUCCOLA in the pm showing her true colors. That is all for me. It is tough getting the pictures as it is cool in the am and by the time I come home from work, it has been in the upper 80s and today there was a strong wind and the UFOs had broken petals. David

Continued GUY MEADOWS: The jury is still out on this one. Last week, it could not open because of all the ruffles. This is the first one to open. Clumps up quickly and is well budded. NAVAJO PONY: This has been my favorite UFO this year. I love the colors. LIME FROST: A very nice white. The throat is green to start the day. LUNAR EMPIRE: Another well budded and branched one from Derrow. NORDIC NIGHT: A great old Munson intro. VIRGINIA PECK FORSYTH FLAMING SNOW: A very nice one. One day I will have to get FORSYTH GARRET MASON ASHWOOD RINGS OF SATURN SPACECOAST THORNY DEVIL: Doing well for a Spacecoast daylily. SMALL WORLD LOONIE TUNES: Out of GEORGE JETS ON. Continued

David, I have definitely noticed little to no branching and low bud count on the scapes of most cultivars that I've looked at here too. We've been pretty hot and dry for the past few weeks (other than one rain where we got an inch a week ago), and no rain in the forecast for the next week or more with temps in the 90s, so I'm sure that's going to impact things too - bud drop, etc.

Wednesdays bloom and the poly fest continues.

Really pretty ones in this group. Here it is going to be over 100 and your soft Bennett pastels cool me off. I really like the peach and pink ones in particular. Hard to choose a favorite. Maybe Sweet Tart just because I like the name............Maryl

Loaves and Fishes is my very favorite, really ike the Band Played on too. We're having some nice weather here too, or I should say, we have been. Low 80s the last few days, supposed to stay cool, but start raining the next few days. Weatherman has been predicting rain every day for the last week or more, but we haven't had a lot of it here. All around us. I really want to spray & kill off some grass so I can move some of my daylily seedlings. I always plant the seeds too close, assuming that some of them won't grow, then they are right on top of each other, can't tell which is which & who knows how well they will do or won't til they have their own space. One of these days I'll learn.
Chance Encounter starts off not opening well here too, but after the first few blooms it does well & is really a pretty daylily. I can see it might have problems in cooler areas though, hope it works out for you.

I too have been frustrated with the poor opening of Chance Encounter. Undercurrent is a very appealing pic.

Thanks a lot everybody!
Debra, that's what strange. Before it would do that only on very hot days, with the yellowish petals bleached by sun, I liked it more that way.
Celeste, it's instant rebloom. Last year I had quite a bit. I mean usually it's 1-3 plants, but it was more than 10 last year. Unfortunately it came with severe drought and a stretch of above 100F days.
Nancy, and I plant daylilies too close, hope I'll learn some day too. But that's because I want to fit more in less space. I have an area where I spaced them farther apart, actually where L&F and U-t grow, really enjoy the orderly way. Jungles in other beds :s
Oh, Mantis I'm glad you commented about your Chance Encounter. The incorrect opening is what I dislike the most about dls. I'll take a low BC with pretty face, and though CE is performing well consistently I might have to reconsider it's premium location :)
