Giving up on catching up.... (pics)

14 years ago

Where does all of the time go? Can't keep up with the garden or the forums this year!

I have several pictures to share from the last week, but just can't seem to find the time to get to it. These have been patiently waiting in photobucket, so figured I would at least share them while I try to find time to upload some more.

SPICE HUNTER

SISTER LUCIENE

SHADY LADY one of my favorite oldies

PAW PRINT New to me this year and I love love love it!

INCOMMUNICADO Another newbie that I am thrilled with!

DANCING WITH JULIE was bought for my Dad's memorial garden, and it is beautiful.

WISEST OF WIZARDS finally has some good color for me this year.

Thanks for looking!

Paw print has been on my 'list' for awhile now. Nice to know it really looks like that. I like the color and I'm trying to do a cat themed garden too. (I know my inner crazy cat lady is showing.) I think I may have to add incommunicado to my list now too.

Julie, I'm impressed with Paw Print. I usually don't go for the bluish dl but I like this one.. I sure wish my WOW would put on some color. Come to think of it, I wish it would bloom...Incommunicado is a beauty. I haven't seen that one before. Thanks for posting these beauties..Ellie

Wow! Frank's Fire Opal and Lavender Cascades both sure look good. I had never heard of either of those before this year.

they are all very pretty. Your first unknown looks like a Siloam, but I am going to have to do some searching to come up with a name. I have added at lot of lavenders this Spring, but I need to add Dragon Dreams to my list. Thank you. Jane

Nice to see what some of my new ones will look like in the spring. I just got Silver Threads and Golden Needles in the mail today. Love your Montana. I've never seen that one before. Thanks for sharing, love all your ferns. My last one just started to unfurl a few days ago.

I would pull it entirely out of the soil and just lay it on top. If the end of the leaf is at all rotted, then just toss it, but if it's still healthy looking it may sprout yet. You may need to lean it against something in a pot this tiny. It really doesn't need a bigger pot, since the roots and new plant will be quite tiny. When I propagate leaves, I just lay them in pots with other plants. Then, once it has grown some roots and baby plants, I use a spoon and scoop out the whole shebang and put it in its own pot. The pot in the photo up there is a just a pot I keep full of soil to root stuff and relocate elsewhere. It's got a bunch of cuttings and rooting leaves in it. Good luck!

They all look great. Your WISEST OF WIZARDS has more color than mine did, mine is paler. Lovely shade of hot pink on SISTER LUCIENE.

Love the color of SISTER LUCIENNE. Is that a Shooter intro? I've not seen it before.

It's interesting to see you photo of SISTER LUCIENNE. Mine is always a rosy red. I've always wondered if I got the wrong daylily, but it matches all the stats to a tee. Yours looks much more like Shooter's pic. SHADY LADY is one of my favorite oldies, too.

Thanks all!

Yes SISTER LUCIENNE is a Shooter intro, and I really like it. We have had record temps (tripple digits in the Seattle area is almost unheard of, and we have had them for two weeks!) and this DL has held it's beautiful color dawn to dusk. Granted, it is in part shade, but I have learned for the first time this year to appreciated something that is still vibrant when I get home from work!
Debra, if your's is redder, I would be thinking that it may not be the right plant, as mine has been one of the more consistant in color of any in my garden.

As for PAW PRINT, I only added it last fall, but from what I have seen so far, if you are thinking about it, GET IT! It's first blooms started before our outrageous temps, but it has still been lovely at the end of the day when it has been very hot, and it is totally packed with blooms. I was terribly afraid that I would not get the watermark in my "cool...ha ha ha" world, but every bloom has been wonderful. I am doing a budcount analysis this year for all of my dl's (Thanks Rita, for the inspiration to really SEE what my plants are doing), and I would bet that even as a first year plant it is in my top 20%.

The pic of WOW was taken early in the am, so the color by evening was much more washed out...it is not a real good "color holder" when the heat is on I am thinking....

I had gotten WOW this year and when it bloomed it was more yellowy color. The seller thought it may be a soil issue but sent me some more of it just to be sure that I got the right one. Your photo is what I expected to see. Next year will be the test when both plantings bloom.

Lovely bloom pics. INCOMMUNICADO looks to have a nice gold edging on it.
