Another new scape today!

15 years ago

Oh, I was thinking I had just a couple more buds left for the season but to my great surprise I found a new scape today.

I've been waiting for "Prairie Tornado" to open its first flower but today I found Strawberry Candy is developing a scape. It did not bloom earlier in the season...new to my garden this spring.

There was a scape earlier that I thought was going to be Strawberry Candy but it turned out to be a misplaced fan of Fairy Tale Pink which was a loose fan in the same box when my order arrived. I guessed at the wrong clump to put it with.

I remember being so disappointed that I wasn't going to get to see Strawberry Candy this year..hopefully the new scape will beat the frost and I'll get to see it after all.

Ooh, maybe there is hope for my Strawberry C too, it didn't bloom early in the season & I was also disappointed. Got it last fall, so I was really expecting some bloom, especially since it looks good. Hope yours beats the frost!

got another hollyhock in bloom: From Pictures to share with Garden buddies Another hollyhock. That one is about half the size from the other ones and grows more in a bush form. But take a look beyond the fence. There is still a lot of our property. so in the fall I threw all the marigold, Datura la fleur and zinnia's over the fence. today I went looking. A lot of Dats but even more Marigolds. Can you see them? So far the deer have not eaten any of them Lucy

You are brave to let it bloom. Our forum friend Ed recommends removing the scapes on new plants, to give time to let the roots develop. So far, so good. Have been brave enough to lop them off. They were pretty short. I know how tough it is to remove those scapes. Nancy

New plant growing from flower scape?

That's called a proliferation and yes you can plant it. It's best to leave it on the scape as long as you can--as long as the scape is green--and it may develop roots and you can plant it. If it doesn't I usually cut it off with a piece of scape below it and then put in water so that just the bottom of the prolif is in water and then watch for roots to form. When they do you can either pot it up or just plant it next to the parent plant. Everyone has their own way of dealing with them, but this usually works for me. Val

HI RITA:I bet you are right, too.we didnt have hardly any rain all summer long, but,I did water every evening.I guess they dont like our city water, like they do the rain.I dont like our city water either, too much clorine in it..I sure can not drink it,so guess the plants dont like it either.The daylilies are looking so green and nice now.only ones with any brown leaves are the dormants and even they dont have many brown leaves. jean

Congrats on the new scape! SC is a beauty. The color is so unique, and stands out from across the garden.

SC is still growing along. Looks like it will only have 2 flowers but at least I may get to see it if the frost holds off a little longer.

To my greater suprise I discovered an actual rebloom scape on Ancient Wisdom today. The old brown scape is still on that fan. Of course our nights are in the 40s now and this one had trouble opening this summer when night temps were only down to 58.

Still, I've never seen rebloom before. Not even on Stella.

I think finding rebloom scapes is so exciting. First year I ever saw such a thing here and one can sure get used to it quickly. Maybe your daylilies are older more established now so can rebloom.

Rita,
That's just it. This is a 2 fan plant that I put in this past spring. It is NOT established well yet.

It bloomed in M season and the same scape is putting up a rebloom already.

I've never seen rebloom here even on Stella due to the very dry conditions but do have supplemental water this year.

I am truly amazed. This one just wants to bloom its head off!

Of course it is so cool now that it will have a hard time opening unless I just bring the scape indoors. This one had a hard time opening when our summer nights got into the 50s.

Well, I don't know why its reblooming then but its sure is nice that its happening. I know I grew daylilies for 25 years before I realised just last year that there was such a thing as rebloom.

Love Strawberry Candy. I neglected it for several years until I saw a set of beautiful flowers. It rebloomed for me this year. It is also very pod fertile, as I experiment on dabbing pollen from 'Geneva Firetruck' and 'Fooled Me', the pods took off!

Hope you post a pic.

Siloam Little Girl sent up a scape yesterday and I too hope to see a bit more before the first frost. Not long now as we are definitely getting cooler night temps too.
