Still very beautiful, Rita,

I especially like Dancing with Sandra.

I enjoy seeing the beautiful clumps since I now have very few still blooming. Better Late Than Never is Strikingly bright, and Vt Home companion is beautiful too.

Dancing With Sandra is a standout, but my favorite has to be Late Round. Is it a polychrome, and is the bloom as big as it appears in the photo?

Thanks Nancy, Kay, Ruth and Nat! Dean - I hope that one will make a nice clump someday. At this point, it's only two fans. Rita - Thanks for liking #3. It's sort of old fashioned looking, but I like it. Maryl - Yes, I hybridized all three of these.I'm really pleased with both SOT X RR seedlings. They had just the look I was going for. Debra

WOI has over 22 scapes and is over maxed on its buds. Sometimes the over amount of buds hampers WOI blooms from opening fully. But it is still a gorgeous cultivar. Yes, we have deer. We have temporary fencing surrounding most of the garden areas but if they really wanted to come and take a taste, they could easily jump the fencing. We have alot of open fields so perhaps they have enough to eat...for now. The turtle is still here this morning so we think we may have to get the tractor with the bucket and scoop it up and put in down by the stream. I read on the internet how dangerous they can be if they are threatened so I have no desire to lose my fingers and those claws don't look too inviting either. I have 6 Lambertson's still here. 2 will bloom for the first time this year(WASHED WATERCOLOR,AWESOME APPLIQUE) after 3 seasons. I don't even know if the cultivars are what they are suppose to be. 3 others bloomed magnificently last year(CAVE CREEK CANYON, CANYON COLORS,MESOZOIC MUNCH) after 2 seasons here and increased nicely and then this spring I could already see issues with those 3 struggling. I'm wondering if they lack the stamina to have alot of blooms one season and then come back and do it all over again the next season. The last one is BLUE-EYED BUTTERFLY which does great here. It just started blooming today. PURPLE CROWNED FAIRY died first season, got a replacement and that one died also. I'm not going for a 3rd time. Julia

Hey ya! I hope everyone had a nice long weekend to enjoy. Beautiful weather here! Sherri, wish I could keep her this size. MaryB, a diagram for you :). Lots more stuff in there not pictured. Brugmansia 'Creamsickle' three blooms on a heat stressed plant and Coleus 'Lava Rose'- my favorite coleus this year. My business is slow as expected when starting out. I have a partial website (go figure?), my license, business cards. Made a bag with my logo on it that I carry around. I have about 6 websites going right now. Enough to pay the business bills. BTW, Gloria I have a bill for you coming your way today :). Love ya, Hottie! CindyO, you are about 350 miles for me, well duh, I guess you already know how far. I would love to come! I can drop my back seat in the Blazer and make lots of room, but I would have to leave the kids with you so I could haul the loot back home. Love that seedling of yours! I just picked the last of the seedpods yesterday. Now we have about 1000 seeds to figure out where to plant. Marea! YAY, a tropical! Diane, got your test email. Debbie, happy B-day! Miss Susan, have you and Dan gone off and got married without us? The Stapelia you sent me last year is about to bloom any day now. I may be cussing you soon :). Anita, your in my thoughts. Deni, if you can read this, you are the most thoughtful and generous soul! ~Canna

Sugar Magnolia and Sweet Prairie Wind for Tuesday
Q

Often the reason petals and sepals are splotchy is that the flower starts to open the night before and dew causes the color to run. Red and purple pigments are antho-cyanins which are water soluble. Yellows and oranges are carotenes which are not water soluble. I have a double, Night at the Prom, which starts to open in the evening and is all splotchy the next morning. It will never make it to a show unless I cut it and bring it inside the night before.

Chris, it is a big glowing flower. I am never sure what's a polychrome but it does stand out in the garden.

Kay, DANCING WITH SANDRA is a standout in my late blooming garden. It was a standout last year too so this is really a great daylily.

Jean, it looks like a lot of daylilies blooming when I show the pictures but compaired to all the daylilies that I actually have here, it is not as much as I would like. But I have blooms to look at and that is the main thing.

Rita,
Yes, I remember. I looked for it last year after you posted pictures, and this year and could not find it on the site with his others.

I did buy Melanie Mason's Longlesson Liberty Belle on the auction.

I like them all and nice to see all the blooms in one area. I need to work on moving the ML, L's to one area.

Julia- If the lates are grouped in one area they have a lot more impact. At least thats what I think.

Kay- You gotta watch that Lily Auction. I know you love it and so do I but it is too easy to buy on there even when there is no room.

I've been going up and down and up and down just taking in all your lovely flowers. The garden shots are great, since there is so much green in addition to the flower colors. Those of us in the no-rain zones are pretty tired of burned out brown. I do love all of them but I'll just mention Dancing With Sandra, Late Round, and Pinhill Claret Symphony. Hope there are still more late bloomers to come. I'll be watching. Avedon

Sure looks pretty still. Lots of great looking blooms, but Dancing with Sandra, Hard Times & Home Companion are my favorites.

Avedon, there are a lot of shrubs all around the edges of the backyard area so it makes it look very green. Then there is the big self seeded sunflower growing kind of in the middle of everything. I hope I will have blooms to keep posting but I am begining to wonder how long it can keep lasting.

Nancy, This late in the season I really appreciate the ones that are still blooming.

Thanks, Linda. I have to get those garden shots while the blooming is still good.

Ellie, Thanks. I have that Three Amigos collection from Gary of Northwinds Larry, Curley Joe and Moe. Those first two bloom regular season but CURLY JOE blooms late. Honestly it is the only one of the three that does much in my garden.
