These two are rebloomers.

FLAMBOYANT PROMISE one of my favorite Dale Thomas intros.

Hi Rita, those are nice. I think I like Flamboyant Promise best, or it could be that I just love the word flamboyant. There is nothing blooming in my garden today.

I went out and cut off the spent scapes from Elegant Candy and took a picture to post in the budcount thread but photobucket was being a bear and I could not upload them.

I'm not a spidery type person. But, I find myself drawn more and more to the big Unusual Forms. Flamboyant Promise is a gorgeous orange.

Does Japanese Anemone 'September Charm' rebloom?

Ostrich, you can deadhead or not as you please. If you wish to tidy up your garden for winter, you can cut the stems back to one foot or so from the ground after they have finished blooming. If you like the look of the bare stems, you can cut them back in the early spring. Jap. Anemones are usually propagated from root cuttings or division. I don't know if many people grow them from seed.

unexpected re-blooming in September

I've been extolling the virtues of 'Roma' for a number of years, and yes I've had any number of Astrantias, mostly darker ones such as 'Ruby Wedding' over the years and only 'Roma' has bloomed all season. As I mentioned 'Venus' is reblooming but is very sparse by comparison. 'Roma' is such an subtle plant that people tend to walk right on by it. For example I had it fronted by 'Heart Attack', blooming at the same time and nobody saw the Astrantia until I pointed it out. Everyone was agog about the Dianthus and I was over in the 'Roma' corner going "Hey what about me"?

we had a few cooler days here, too, then the upper 90's came back for over a week, was so hot out you startswetting soon as you get out the door, suppose to be in the 80's next week,I think. that's still hot with the humidity.at the present, I am b arely able to stand up and walk a few steps. a neighbors big dog was in my frony yard yesterday drinking all the water out of my bird bath, when I went out on the porch I seen it about the same time it seen me,and came running past me to get out of the yard,as I have run it out a few times before, and it run into me and since I have no balance no more,i fell one way and my cane went the other.I managed to get myself up and get inside and into the recliner, but today, every inch of me hurts and stiff. don't think they feed the dog very often or give it any water at all.I always make sure the birdbath is full of water at night,and each morning, its empty again, so that tells me the dog is getting all its water here from my birdbath.

Thank you all for looking and commenting. These daylilies have been strange...Deborah, this is my first year for Integrated Logistics, so it is beginners Luck, I suspect. Stealth Bomber did indeed put up three thick scapes loaded with blooms. And yesterday, I found Colorado Moonstone had another scape which I broke off since it has bloomed five times already...which is typical here. But Betty Ford also put up a scape and I left it alone since it hadn't previously rebloomed this year although it usually does. BF is always just above foliage, but I love the color, and this scape is nice and tall, at least for Betty here...24". kay

Edward- I didn't do as many actuall budcounts as I did last year but did make note of any that were usual. As in unusually good or unusually bad.

Andrea- I hate spiders. I know lots of people like them but they are not for me. FLAMBOYANT PROMISE is in no way a spider. I really don't know what the registration criteria for UFOs are but I call ones that look like this UFOs and I love it. The bloom is big and very attention getting on a fairly tall scape. Its a late bloomer and the rebloom scape was a nice bonus.

I like both of these, but FLAMBOYANT PROMISE rocks. And I'm with you, Rita. I have a few spiders, and I like some of the ones I've seen, but in most cases they just don't do that much for me.
