Blooms that I haven't posted!! A

13 years ago

I thought I would post some of the blooms that I had this year. I had a couple of seedlings bloom while I was away but have to wait for the next blooms. We had a really good time in Ky with 2 of my daughters and you guessed it, I set out daylilies for a full day!...LOL!!

Eliie,
The blooms are all beautiful but Abundant Cascades takes it for me. That's a real beauty.

Linda - if you are not knowledgeable, then who is? All this AV growing is not a rocket science for crying out loud. I ordered from Bluebird - very very nice outfit, good quality plants. They make their own mix - and for the bottom watering it is very very good. Maureen - The basic necessities (did I spell it right?) - light, fertilizer and water. You can fertilize every time you water - 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon per gallon. Water - tap water is OK especially if you let it sit for a day so it will be room temperature and the chlorine will evaporate. If for whatever reason your water is too hard, too alkaline etc - happens if it is well water - you can buy bottled water in a grocery - a gallon size is cheaper. You do not want to let them dry and don't want them to sit in water. Get your finger in the soil - and if it feels dry - water. The only thing I imagine can be a problem - it is light. Let's say - they prefer 600 foot candles 12 hours a day. Which is equivalent to 8 inches from the fluorescent lights on the timer for 12 hours. May be the place where they sit - is OK - but but they get this good light for 7 hours only, or they actually get 100 foot candles for most of the day - and 800 when sun hits them direct for 2 hours. What I am saying - it is hard to control natural light - and they usually bloom less often in natural light. If you really want them to bllom all the time - get a shoplight, put them on wicks and trays and keep repottinng them every 4 months. We love to send everybody to rachelsreflections.com - it is a fun site and tons of info how to do it at a state of the art level. But - looks like in your setup you will have them growing and blooming in any case - just not that often. Good Luck irina

Debra, it is a bit hard to say how well it could do. I originally had it planted by a shrub that quickly overshadowed it. It did OK, the blooms looked good but below average bud count. I left it there a couple of years & moved it last fall. It looks MUCH better this year & has lots of buds. Seems to be a bigger clump too. It is listed as a mid late, I don't have many actual "late" daylilies, but this is blooming with those. It is listed as a rebloomer, & I know it did rebloom for me last year when it was in the shade. Hoping for good things from it now. Really, I don't think the photos do it justice! I like Neon Rainbow too, Mantis, but it is not one I would really recommend based on how it is here. I got this one 4 or 5 years ago as a single fan. It bloomed the following spring & developed another fan which disappeared in summer with the heat. Same thing following year. This year the 2nd fan appeared again, but it managed to bloom this spring, so hopefully it will hold on this time. It is holding one of the better spots in my garden too, where it gets additional water when it needs it, fertilizer, etc. Rita, Orange Bounty is not fancy or anything, but it is one of my late bloomers, although it is listed as mid season for some reason. It usually doesn't start blooming til early July. This year it had a couple of fans that bloomed in early June with my earliest ones though,bloomed shorter than usual though. I thought that might be all it was going to do, but come July the rest of the fans broke out in bloom. Thanks Linda, this is the 2nd year for Sings the Blues & it is looking much better than it did last year. I was so happy when that seedling first bloomed, & I still like it but would like to see it with more buds.

Thanks, all! Bosco had an issue with his ear a few years ago that required surgery, and the floppy ear is the result. I think he looks quite rakish with it. Cobraskin consistently has that unique pattern. It's been a nice bloomer this year (planted last year). Debra, I think you'd like Thirty Seconds. When I rounded the corner of the garden and saw that bloom, I did a doubletake because of the viivid color. It's a glowing apricot that's appears unique (at least, in my experience).

Well, I'm glad you kept track of where you left off so we could all be caught up. Love the way the two new beds turned out. Nice saved space by the way you built them. I have a couple of hydrangeas, but not for shade. The oak leaf hydrangea gets tall and bush shaped, would make nice shade for quite a few hosta. Don, did you order a Dick Ward this time? You will love it. Like Stained Glass but more brassy gold in the middle, and tough as nails. I've had mine since May 2010, and it acts like it is almost mature.

Thank you Rita. AB was new last year and I don't think she's settled in good just yet. I expect more from her next year...Ellie

Well, she sure looks good to me. That white or cream backround with the pink eye and edge is a particular favorite color combo of mine so I am not surprised it appeals to me.

I agree with Rita that Ageless Beauty is really a pretty color combination. I also really like AC and AK.

The A's are looking good in your garden. The ones that caught my eye were Ageless Beauty, All About Eve and American Freedom.

My favorites in this group are Abundant Cascades, Ageless Beauty and All About You. Your picture of Alexa Kathryn is great. I wish mine had bloomed that pretty this year. Maybe I'll move it this fall.

Kathy, AB is a color combo I like too!! AC and AK are also favorites of mine. I am already looking for next years bloom time so I can see what she does ( AB)..

Debra, American Freedom is really a beautiful daylily. I don't think she gets enough credit..All About Eve is one that was a noid last year until Jan sent me info on her. The fact that the seller had it listed and sent it by mistake helped a bit!!

Michelle, I had to move Alexa Kathryn because she did nothing where she was. I was glad this year that I did. She's a beauty and still blooming..

Thank you Val..

Jean, the form on American Freedom is great. She has had so many beautiful blooms this year.. I love it!!

Thank you All....Ellie

My favorites are Abundant Cascades and Alakazam. I have a few from your A list. You captured a really good photo of Alexa Kathryn! I'm disheartened about Alien Encounter being on its way out. I added it last fall, but haven't seen it bloom yet. How long have you had Alien Encounter?

I can't get a decent bloom out of Alexa Kathryn but yours looks good. I have Ageless Beauty and love her. After I got her I heard where she didn't do good in the North but I haven't had any trouble so far. Thanks for posting. Judy
