OK Ann this is for you. Today on my two fans I had two open flowers on each. I went out twice because of lighting and took these for you. Finally got some pics that I liked. Everyone else may be tired of this one but I know you aren't LOL.

Dot, thank you, thank you! Four blooms in one day. Lucky you. Yours looks so much better than mine. Of course my fans are small and my scapes only have 4-6 buds each. By the way, that first bloom on mine was 6 1/2" - is this about the same as yours? Next year I hope to see a huge improvement in edge and form on mine. I have said this before and it is still true that your pictures of Miss Annie are much better than the one on Frank Smith's website. Are these rebloom scapes?

You have posted Zahadoom before and I never tire of looking at it. That one may need to go on my want list, although I don't have room to plant the seedlings that I want to keep.

You have such fabulous daylilies and I have really enjoyed seeing your pictures this summer. Great photos. I think I need to take a photography class. I just can't seem to get good pictures.

I appreciate your extra effort in posting this. Please know it was greatly appreciated.

Tony - that's Uncarina grandidierii - common name Mouse Trap tree. For anyone who wants one, I have six already started from cuttings for the upcoming swaps. I also have Uncarina decaryi - no common name, that looks very similar to this, but the petiole is red instead of green and the leaves don't stink as bad. I have four started from cuttings I took in Miami. One is going in the ground here and one is for Jerry at TreeZoo. But the other 2 are up for grabs at one of the swaps.

Kate, Thank you! I've been working with Adenium for only 4 years now. The first year I made the mistake of using playground sand in my soil. I lost a few to rot. The next couple of years I used cactus mix with extra perlite and pebbles. It worked well. This year I mixed coco husk chunks with top soil and perlite. I'm always experimenting. I like this mix so far. This year was my first year ever to use coco husk. I had a horrible spider mite infestation this year for the first time. Now I'm wondering if they can hide in the fiberous husk? I have no idea and it may not even be related. But I think I've gotten rid of most of them. The roots are doing great when I've checked a few. This last month I ordered pumice stone. I made a few pots with top soil, perlite, and pumice. I think this will be a great mix. The only issue is that it's hard to find pumice. You have to order it and it can be a little pricey. I found a great company though: http://www.generalpumiceproducts.com/order-here/size-316-15lb-bag-garden-pumice 3/16" is perfect. It's a very light weight stone. Also, I live in a very humid and hot climate (Houston). So these mixes allow me to only have to water maybe once or twice a week. It drains very well but retains a slight amount of water to keep them happy.

Thanks so much for the kind words. summersrhythm - I goofed and miss typed her name and now Houzz will not let me edit my post - she's not Pretty Miss, she's "English Miss", as my best guess. I found her unmarked, as the only iteration of this rose I ever found at a big box store, and was mesmerized with her blooms, that at some point in their growth form (that I didn't capture in that pic) look like camellia blooms. She's own root, and I am so smitten with her. She's always been pretty small as are her blooms, but at about 5 years old she just keeps sprawling a little more each year, and giving me more blooms each year. "'English Miss' is a floribunda rose bred by Roger Pawsey of Cants of Colchester, England, and introduced in 1977.[1][2] It was named in honor of the raiser's three-year-old daughter Sally-Anne.[3]"

Sorry Ann I forgot to say that these were rebloom scapes. I didn't measure mine but I would have to say they are at least 6". I know it was really a show this year with my two fans and I got a few seed pods. The color is lighter now that it is so hot. I add a little contrast to my pictures to make them stand out since my pictures are not crystal clear like some peoples pics on here. So I do edit my pictures before posting. Glad you enjoyed.
Thanks Marbree.

Well, I am glad I did look because I saw some really nice daylilies. Zahadoom is increadable.

Dot, what did you cross her with? I bought seeds of a couple of crosses of Miss Annie, but there were not a lot offered on the Lily Auction last year. The seedlings from those seeds should bloom next summer.

Thanks again,

Ann

There isn't a daylily in that group that isn't gorgeous. thanks for posting Zahadoom again. I love that one but am not too crazy about the strange name. Now that I've said that it will turn out to be someones Aunt or something.

That is such a pretty flower, I like the delicate color & form. I've been keeping an eye out for daylilies with family names & have a few. Fortunately, I like all of those flowers too.

Ann apparently I lied about the seed pods LOL. After going out and looking they must have aborted. I do remember tho that it set pods from JT Davis.
Maryl, the name Zahadoom accordingly to the Stamile website is the name of a dark and mysterious planet.
Jerry Hyatt is blooming this morning, will take a picture shortly and post it. Not a lot of people grow that one.
Thanks everyone for all the nice posts :)

I like your Miss Annie Belle, but the other 3 caught my eye even more. Love that Zahadoom and Blueberry Baroque (Even though I didn't see anything resembling blue in the pic).

Great Pics as always
