Still winding down, but still a lot blooming

15 years ago

One of these days I will actually catch up.

The following DLs are still going strong in my gardens. All started blooming this past week, except the two clump shots, which have been blooming for a couple weeks now.

The Siloams always have tons of buds:

{{gwi:920933}}

I need to move this one closer to my garden edge where she can be appreciated more. Right now she's lost behind a taller Fuchsia Dream:

{{gwi:920934}}

I think out of all the clumps I have blooming right now, this one's the "bloomingest". I didn't show the whole clump, because there is some unsightly dry foliage (windy loncation where I live.):

{{gwi:649953}}

A mid-late bloomer:

{{gwi:920935}}

A spider. Look at the length of that pistil!:

{{gwi:648405}}

For a new plant in my garden, I was impressed with this bloom, although rather short for its first season (about a foot off the ground.) Next year it should reach 33":

{{gwi:668211}}

Now this is a seedling that I don't quite know what to do with. It's not very showy, yet I don't want to throw it out just yet, so will keep it for a year, to see if it improves - Starman's Quest x Taco Twister 4 from an LA seed:

And finally an unknown sdlg that I gave the garden name, "Greenthroat":

What an awesome clump of Blueberry Cream! I haven't heard of that one before, but it looks like a great performer.I really like the looks of your UF seedling. To me it is showy, and I bet it will be even better next year.

Nice daylilies. I love the clump shots, especially Siloam Cinderella. Look at all those buds she has and I love the coloring of the blooms, very pretty.

It's past peak, but still lots of bloom

Jean, right now I feel lucky to have daylilies blooming, but in May and June when others were posting theirs it seemed like mine would never start. That's the nice thing about this forum--with all the regions represented we can look at daylilies for a long time. Val

Hi Jen, i was thinking of you today looking at my Makaha Sunn. Now I understand how much you love this beauty.. OMG. I'm thrilled at its coloration as well as its strong fragrance. Blaze is doing well and I keep thinking I will see an inflo appear, but I'm just being patient and hopeful... It has three or four tips. I will post a picture of it for you tomorrow. It's a beauty and it looks ready to push.. It has the look of maturity!! ;-) My AB is looking good too., how is yours doing? I took a picture of that a few days ago to post for James. I keep thinking it may do something this year. I know, wishful thinking.. Sigh.. i hope you are enjoying your beautiful weather.. We are having a nice summer, but I can feel the change at night . I'm starting to see some yellowing on the bottom leaves, they sure know when the amount of light declines and the cool nights start to make them think of sleeping. What a sad time.. I still have a few more months, but it will slow down after September. October will be the last month and then at the end of he month, it will be time to prepare.. Don't even want to think about it. :-( Have a great evening ! Laura

Well, that did not post, maybe it is my turn to have problems Cold Harbor, this is one I had decided to get rid of, but it has done pretty well this year. Young and Bonnie Blessed Art Thou, very pastel, but good bloomer and I like the sturdy scapes and flowers Caledonia was one of my earlier ones to bloom, seems to just keep pumping out the blooms, still has quite a few buds. Nothing fancy about it, and blooms are just above the foliage, I don't like yellow, but I just can't say no to a plant that likes to bloom as much as this one, especially in the worst location in my garden Highland Lord, this one will go this year. Ice Carnival, I have had this one for years, it was on my list to go, but the blooms looked better and a lot more of them this year. I KNOW they hear me Well, I guess I reached my limit today, won't let me post any more. Black Falcon Ritual bloomed yesterday, but I either didn't get it downloaded from my camera, or I deleted it. Doesn't matter, can't post anyway :( Try again tomorrow

Still a lot going on with blooms

I've wondered about Ashwood Inferno Kate. Appreciate the nod on colorfastness......This is a real hard post to pick a favorite from. I like the first one, Silkey Twilight. Not just that beautiful pastel lavender color, but the crinkled edges with white line. Too bad about the splotchy problem...........Your Red and Yellow combo is striking, and I'll have to look up Total Opulence when I get a moment......That's enough for now, but you really have a nice bloom fest going on............Maryl

Thanks for your comments, everyone.

Debra,
Thanks for your comment on my UFO seedling. That gives me a little more confidence to hang on to it at least one more year.

Rita,
Siloma Cinderella is one of the few DLs that give me re-bloom in this harsh climate. But only if we get lots of rain in Aug. and Sept. (which happened last year.) This year, well, only time will tell.

Tom,
Thanks for your comment on my "Greenthroat" I wouldn't mind seeing a whole clump of that one in a few years!

Jean & Jan,
Priscilla's Dream is one of my favorites, because of the 'geometric' patterned EZ. But she's not the best increaser, and not a real high bud count. Have to be patient with that one!

Kathy,
Judge Roy Bean was planted last year, and bloomed a short distance off the ground, with very small petals. I wasn't impressed until this year when it shot up to a height of about 40", and a bloom size of 9"!

hosenemesis,
Gee, maybe I should register that one (Greenthroat) in a few years!

Thanks again, all,

Julie

Priscilla's Dream is a looker, although I don't know if I'd be patient enough to grow her.

Chris, Michelle, and Betsy,

Thanks for your comments. I was impatient with 'Destined To See' for a while, but now I have a nice clump. Soooooo, I will excersize the same patience w/Priscilla's Dream. Besides, I have many other DLs to view, while waiting for P's D to slowly increase.

I agree with the others - Pricilla's Dream is stunning! I also love the clump shot of Blueberry Cream and both seedlings. I really like the form of Green Throat, but give the first seedling another year. Thanks for sharing.
