That's actually a really pretty daylily! Love the color. I've seen a lot of Blueberry named daylilies and wasn't awe-struck, but that's a great one!
Wow, frost!! We haven't had any yet, but maybe it's on its way as we have seriously had some strong winds gusting the last few days.
I was hoping to give my plants roots another week to get comfy.

Hello on this really cool day. Our temps were low 30's this morning too!

Kay, that's a pretty daylily but the picture is beautiful!!

Blessings, Mona

Thank you so much CTC and Mona. I was so surprised at the blooms, I had to go back inside and get the camera as I surely didn't expect them today.There are quite a few blooms left on the scapes on Blueberry Breakfast.

It was time to spend a little time in the house, and it is evident that I need to stay inside for a couple of days and work in here...may happen, may not. However, as it gets colder and stays that way, I will spend more time inside, of course.

Here in Zone 5a we haven't had frost yet but the weather has been terrible-wet and windy. I would love to see the sun again before it snows!. I think we have had 1 week of nice weather since the start of September.
I have Blueberry Breakfast and love it.

Wish it was blooming here.

Debbie

Nice to keep seeing the blooms.
We had a very light frost several weeks ago but nothing since. We usually get the hard frost in November.
We too have had rain but not constant. Very windy over the last several days.

Julia

Love the color of Blueberry Breakfast. Isn't it great when you are surprised by blooms? We have had a frost, but most everything seems unaffected, except one basil plant. Our rosemary prostrata is blooming, much to my great surprise. Avedon

kay, your daylilies are not ready to just rest.it got to 31 here the other morning, but dont think we had any frost.Love the Blueberry breakfast. its really pretty, booth of these pictures are gorgeou.I am hoping we get no frost here, until I get to see some blooms on the scapes that is growing good.

Jean

A light frost is not about to bother the roses so I am sure those will keep right on blooming for you. I have some roses currently blooming also. Blueberry Breatfast did really well for itself. I really like the second picture were you can see how it just glows in the sun.

I spent part of the day pulling some weeds and redoing all the daylily markers in the snapdragon bed up in the back yard.

De4bbie, this is the first time I have had reblooms this late in the year.

Avedon, It did surprise me that the frost had so little effect on the daylilies.

Jean, I hope your to bloom, but take heart, the frost didn't stop this one.

Rita, I had roses in December last year, so we'll see how long they bloom. They seem to be loving the cool weather, but roses do, don't they. I was sure you would have some kind of garden job that needed doing. I am about to go outside and take some teas with me and enjoy a lovely if very slightly cool day.

Thank you all for looking and for your comments.
kay

I been edoing some marker, too, but was too late with about 4 of them. the name is faded off,and I have noidea which one they are. maybe when they bloom, i can find out their name.i have 2 pots that the markers is gone, and I have no idea where they could be.I have not had no children here that could

have pulled them out.

jean

Garden Gnomes do it Jean. That has to be it.
kay

I see that Blueberry Breakfast still has quite a few buds so you may have daylilies in November!! This really is an odd year. You've had frost and I haven't?! Hard to figure that out.
Val

I don't think we have had frost yet either. All the annuals are still growing here. Marigolds, snapdragons, cosmos, zinnias, salvias, they are all still going.

Blueberry Breakfast is beautiful. Aren't late blooms grand?
Christine

Blueberry Breakfast is such a pretty shade. I love it!! I have my one last scape that has maybe one more bud and then I think thats all I am going to get. boo hoo!! Judy

Val, I cannot even imagine having even one bloom in November!

Rita, The annuals were hurt either...except a few of the zinnias, Pente, petunias and vinca and alyssum are still blooming away. and the migrating butterflies are everywhere. The gardenia bush has quite a few buds on it, but I covered it with a blanket. I covered one Duranta etrecta, and neither it nor the one in the graoun appear hurt...to the butterflies delight.

Christine, late blooms are wonderful.

Judy, I got four rose bands from Vintage, and put them in the greenhouse. I pinched two buds off today (Charles De Gualle and First Prize. It is hard to pinch buds, isn't it. I also got Lemon Spice (again! the voles killed it) and Waves, All Hybrid Teas, but older ones.

I have several hundred tulip bulbs coming, and a few hyacinths and I have 50 dutch iris to plant, so I have enough to do to keep me out of trouble, but I do hate to see the season end.

kay

Nice pictures of a great daylily. I have that one two, and it did really well this past summer. NO fall blooms on it though!!
cindy

Kay, I meant to tell you I try to plant everything now with poultry grit. Someone told me back last year when I was having vole trouble to use it and I have had the best of luck. I mix it in with the dirt when I am filling the hole in. They said the voles will be detered when they try to chew and can't thanks to the grit. I so hope it continues to work. They are the most upsetting creature to deal with. They stay underground and you can't really see them attack like I do the deer. It was soooo bad for me I was having nightmares about them. They even talked in my dreams. lol! That should tell you how upset and obsessed I was with them. haha!! I hope whatever is getting them for you continues. Judy

I planted some bulbs over the weekend snd found every one dug up today, and laying by the hole, so had to plant them again.I put a brick on top of them after i reeplnted them today, maybe it will stop them from getting dug up again tomorrow. I have too much trouble to plant them the first time, without going through it all again to plant them.

jean

Hi Cindy, It's been a weird year, and you have such beautiful scenery at the lake that you don't even need fall blooms.

Judy, thanks you, it is surely worth a try. Whatever this digger is, it has been pretty through. I hope it got all of them! I am planting my new roses in cages. Voles are the most upsetting creatures, since the plants are what they eat.

I will get some grit and mix it in with my planting...I have clay in some areas, so maybe it will lighten it. And I understand exactly how upset and obsessed voles can make you. DH did not and came close to dying (mursder via spouse) when he made the comment that if I didn't have something to worry about, I'd be bored! Humph! Men who aren't gardeners haven't a clue.\

Jean, that is terrible! Do you have any idea if it was squirrels that dug them up? I hope it doesn't happen again.

kay

Kay, I deal with a hubby like that daily. I would have to punch his lights out. lol!! My flowers bring out the fighter in me. lol!! Judy

well, I had a few more bulbs dug up today, too, so I put bricks on them too after zi got them replanted again.kay, I am thinking its racoons digging them up looking for grub worms. they dont eat the bulbs, they just dig them up amd put them to the side of my hole. zi couldnt get aa couple holes deep enough for the bulbs, snd zi read some where a few days ago they they will go deeper if they not deep enough, dont know if thats truth or not, but anyway, they are all deeper now,as these animals dig deeper after they get the bulb out, soo when i replant them, thay are just right.

Jean

Judy,
I guess there are compensations. Other than the occasional Harangue about daylily foliage ""looking like Johnson grass" when it isn't blooming, and occasional complaints about that I will eventually having the entire yard in flowers, he isn't too bad. When I had a lot of roses to plant, he actually dig a couple of holes...(of course when he came back later to "help", all of the 16 were planted.

He just isn't a gardener, period.

Jean, at least you got one good thing out of whatever is digging in your garden; deeper holes. Maybe the grubs are the Japanese Beetle grubs, and you'll have fewer beetles too.
