August Reblooms and the Late Late Show

9 years ago

There were some beautiful rebloom flowers to greet me this morning.

LILLIAN'S JINGER BRED began its second rebloom cycle with this pretty face.

WONDER OF IT ALL was opened nice and flat by 9 today.

JAY FARQUHAR with better behaved sepals this morning.

SPACECOAST FRANCIS BUSBY brightly blazing.

WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS' last bloom. This late season bloomer had a seven week run. That's what pushed it up into my Top 3 purples for the season.

LAST CHANCE FOR ROMANCE continues its late bloom.

FINAL TOUCH still has plenty of buds left. I think it will make it into September.

I already said I liked your Amber Finale. It's such a soft buff yellow. Really like it. It's made my long list.......Every time you show Crimson Reflections I think how much I like it. I always like eyed daylilies in others gardens, but for some reason I don't care that much for them in mine. CR could be the exception. .......August Cherry grabbed my eyeballs and wouldn't let go. Boy is that bright and cheery. So how about it? If that is as colorfast as Acquire the Fire it would be wonderful.........Maryl

I think Party Pinafore was bud building, Debra, but it is finished now. It is not listed as a bud builder, but i know it was on its last 2-3 buds for a long time. It bloomed right at 2 months, supposed to have 16-20 buds but most of the scapes had 25 or more. Really good year for it, I hope that does not mean it won't bloom next year.

Thanks everyone for the nice comments on the near white seedling. I look forward to seeing how that one does next year. Kate - The Cowgirl Spurs seedling does look promising. With our weather conditions this year, it doesn't have much of a plant under it. We'll see how it does in future years. I have around 10 seedlings from the White Tooth X Skater cross. While this one does have the largest bloom and the widest edge, it's not one of my top favorites in the group. It's hard to evaluate the seedlings this year or make selections because the lack of rain caused lower bud counts and branching. Nancy - I agree that the Last Chance for Romance flowers were lined up like can-can dancers. Wheel of Time does have a lot of colors in it. Julia - Last Chance for Romance just started blooming last week. It has 15 scapes and lots of buds, so it should be blooming for most of August. Kay - Thanks for the comments on the seedlings! Maryl - Thanks for your comments. I thought the color on Zuzu's Treasure was especially good for this time of year. Lightning Round does have a pretty edge. Debra

Kate - I like the white daylilies for their cooling effect too. Orchid Linen has been behaving for several days. Hope the deer stay out of your gardens while you're away. Maryl - The later edges on Bluegrass Shadows are cream white and gold. There is so little gold on it that I don't know that I would call it chicken fat. We lost Zuzu three summers ago to a coyote attack. That was confirmed by neighbors who found his body six blocks away. The coyote population has increased as the deer population has. Coco vanished in Spring 2022, and I would guess she met the same fate. Sammy, the black cat who was the wariest of all, disappeared last September. She was my husband's favorite, and he drove the neighborhoods looking for her and posting photos and info about her, but we never heard anything. Now the only cat we feed outside is their mother, Tuxie, who stays here part-time. Kay - Thanks for your comments. Tiffany Shade is always short and the color is a weird one. It photographs better than it looks in person. Even though it blooms so late, it will probably be on my move-out list. Debra

Jean - I know you love Wonder of It All. As long as temps are in the 90s, it looks beautiful here. I don't know why I've never gotten Beautiful Edgings. It seems to perform well for everyone. My Buttered Popcorn is not reblooming yet. If it does rebloom, it's usually in September.

Twixanddud - Thanks for your comments!

Lillian is a lovely pink. There are so many pretty pinks rather similar, I don't think I have any light pink like it. And I really like the look. I take it back, I have Ed Brown. The blooms always look good, but it doesn't bloom that long & it hasn't multiplied much at all since I've had it.
Wonder of it All seems to do so well for everyone, & a beautiful daylily, I've always admired it. And Jay Farquar, AND We are the Champions. And....well, you can tell I don't have many blooms left, I love every one of them. If I pick an absolute favorite though, would have to be Spacecoast Francil Busby.

Oh pretty ones! L. Jinger Bred is very very pretty, and 2nd set of rebloom is great! Love Jay Farquhar, and Sp Francis Busby looks great, so bright!
Wonder of it All is gorgeous as usual. And the lates are nice. My Final Touch won't make it till September. For some reason lates started here earlier. Most of the rebloom I had was instant so they are mostly done too. But still some left :) And I found 2 more IR scapes on 2 DLs the other day!

What a beautiful bunch of daylilies so late in the season. I like all of them. Isn't Lillian's Jinger Bred by Fred Manning? I love the form and have a special fondness for petals that have a distinct corduroy pattern, which it does. The others are also lovely. I had no rebloom at all this year, so seeing yours is especially pleasing...........Maryl

Maryl- Yes, Lillian's Jinger Bred is by Fred Manning. I'm looking at that photo on an IPad right now, and the color is much more peachy than it should be. I find the IPad adds yellow tones to pink and red tones to purples that are not apparent on my Dell laptop. I hate that my photos look so different on here! Also it automatically corrected your name to be Maryland. I definitely have some issues with IPads.

Lillian's Jinger Bred is my pick of these, but Spacecoast Francis Busby is a beauty too.
