Some photos from the past few weeks & Zeus

9 years ago

So many photos to share, so little time. Here is but a sampling of what has been blooming this summer. Most are still going but starting to slow down and a few lates are starting up but I have a long way to catch up on photos.
They will be long bloomed out before I ever catch up!

I love that this forum has so many animal lovers, so that we can share our furbabies along with our flowers. Many of you may recall I always posted pictures of my big boy Nemo, Zeus and Lily....well, Nemo & Lily passed on last summer and now I have only Zeus. Zeus is my 'everything'. I love him like I love my children and grandchildren so like a proud mama, I have to show him off...lol. Check out his double paws....

You really are getting big clumps. Lavender Heartthrob is filled with scapes. Persian Ruby was a Stout runner-up recently. What are your favorites from this group?

B, some of mine are 6-8 inches tall and some are between 12-18 inches tall. I just love them, and I love the cosmos sunset too. They are awesome seed producers too. Mary, I haven't had to worry much about the lack of watering I can do this year, we had 4 solid weeks of cool temps are rain almost every single day. I actually lost some plants to the rain and severe thunderstorms that went through. Fran

About the NOID purple: Laura - You are right about the bloom shapes not matching on Lounge Lizard and the NOID. The NOID has very round petals, while Lounge Lizard's are longer and more pointed. I know it's not Lord of Rings because I used to grow that one. Nancykvb - The color is similar to Mary's Baby, but the bloom is 6 inches. Julia - The seller was unable to identify it. Asking him was my first course of action. Out of the dozens of times I have received the wrong plant, I've only had one seller who was able to identify a plant by its photo. I always think that's odd. Several times sellers have replied that they don't have anything that looks like the daylily in my photo. So I'm always left wondering if what I got was a stray seedling.

TEQUILA SUPREME TWIST CL VICTOR BORGE WATERCOLORS HOME RUN WEDDING CAKE And here's some other stuff .... This is a DRACUNCUS VULGARUS or VOODOO LILY. It's an interesting, weird thing that has the most horrible odor! My husband asked WTH smelled so bad out front, then he remembered... "oh it's that weird plant you have out there that attracts flies!" I thought I had dug it out a couple of yrs ago... but apparently it left some babies... Potato bloosoms on my purple potatoes.. BOWL OF BEAUTY peonies with WHITE DIAMOND in the lower corner These are some of my HORTICO babies waiting to either get potted up or planted in the ground Oh, and I forgot to put this one up above... MORGENGRUSS CL - it's a monster... the orange rose is SUMMER SONG which climbed up over the arbor, and a stem hung down from the top

Nice group. I would suspect that Heavenly Angel Ice will have taller scapes next year as it is new for you this year. Romanian Rendevous has a bright eye and edge color. Cat Dancer is one I wish I had gotten. It has a nice pink with the green. I've heard always good things about it. Strikingly Dramatic is a looker and the pencil edge.

I love the photos of the sea of daylilies and your baby Zeus, and am so sorry to hear about losing your other cat family members. Those double mitts on Zeus are great!

Carolina Twilight is beautiful and I love the recurved open face on Siloam Golden Gate.

No trouble picking a favorite this time. Zeus on the chair is the winner......nothing like seeing a happy cat to make you smile, and clearly he is quite happy. The daylilies are all beautiful, but Celestial Beauty is my favorite of the group.

THANK YOU Jean, Mantis, maximus and Linda for commenting! Mantis, since you asked about favorites of this group (aside from Zeus of course!) I would have to pick Carolina Twilight for it's color, vigor and budcount....Celestial Beauty for the same....and Lavender Heartthrob because it is one of the first to start blooming and one of the last to quit. I have heard from others on here that their Lav. HT doesn't do well but I must have a good one because mine is a very hefty clump of great vigor and amazing bloom production. Of course, I do love the others I posted but these would be my top 3.

P.S....and oh, I forgot PERSIAN RUBY....HOW COULD I?
This is another favorite. Really huge blooms of deepest darkest red, almost purple and a commanding presence in the garden. I love it!

Beautiful daylilies and a very handsome Zeus! The picture of him is adorable. My favorite daylily of this group is Creepy Crawler - that's one that I've been wanting to get, I like the looks and the name, and I'm pretty sure the hybridizer was from Michigan.

You have so many beauties! And of course Zeus, soo cute, what a funny sleeping pose :)
S. Golden Gate looks very nice, Bahama Butterscotch is pretty too, love sea of daylilies pics! Love Pure and Simple too, and many others.
Wow your Lavender Heartthrob is doing great, many scapes, seems tall. I am one of those people whose Lav H isn't that great. Mine starts as EM maybe, way after others, low bud count, short. At least it opens well! And the blooms are big :)

You have so many beautiful daylilies, & many I don't often see. I've scrolled up & down, I think maybe I like Winning Note, every bloom looks just perfect on that clump. Really like the sea of daylilies pictures too. Of course, Zeus surpasses them all, he's really a handsome guy & I love his pose.

THANK YOU twixanddud, Nat, Nancy and Debra! Twixanddud, you will like Creepy Crawler. The blooms are big and bright and I just love that edge it has. Nat, it is strange how Lavender HT does so well for me here when I have heard from you and others that it isn't that great for them. I got mine from BlueRidge and it hit the ground running. Stellar performance year after year. And yes, mine is tall. Nancy, I love Winning Note too and I am surprised at how many blooms it pumps out each year. Got it from Maryott's. Debra, I figured you would love the bright pink of Desperate Housewives....and of course, Zeus!

Zeus is handsome guy with that almost velvet looking grey fur. If he were human imagine how well he could play the piano with those extra fingers-lol...........Your daylilies are so pretty. Hard to narrow it down to a top 3. I like Celestial Beauty even though UFs aren't my favorite form. The pale yellow color and maroon pattern call to me. Carolina Twilight also says look at me. Again, the pattern adds to its overall beauty. I like the color on Scarlet Pansy too.....Really have a nice garden.....Maryl
