1st blooms of the season - PIC

15 years ago

Hello everyone!

Finally, the 1st blooms of the season. Smells absolutely delicious! Can anyone identify for me? Very pretty, the blooms are on the small side and I think smaller than last year and not as pretty. Could something be wrong? In any case, LOVE the yellow!

Hi Belkys,
Any pink on the backside? If so, it may be Aztec Gold.
Congrats!!!

Hi Randy.

Thanks! There's no pink on the backside. Does this mean it's not Aztec Gold?

Thanks again,
Belkys

I can't make up my mind about the scent. Lemony? Magnoliay? Honeysuckely? The bugs that ate the foliage were 1st JB's then grasshoppers. I had hoped that the bugs would die as a consequence like the do when they eat my 4 o'clocks. Kat

Thanks for posting! I am amazed at the differences. I have read on this forum many times about changes that can occur from year to year, but the pictures really do tell the tale.

You should see the contortions I have to go thru to get pics of some of my daylilies facing the wrong way. If they are shy, usually just means they are extra pretty.

Hi Again,
My Aztec Gold has pink on the backside. Here's a pic I just
snapped.

Here is Thorntons Lemon Drop, no pink on the backside.

It could be Celedine, a common yellow, has no pink on the backside.

And I had to throw in this Stargazer Lily that is
blooming beautifully and very fragrant!

Congrats Belkys on the beautiful blooms!!!

Hi Randy - thanks.

The Stargazer Lily is beautiful but I am so partial to yellows. Your Thorntons Lemon Drop is simply stunning! Congrats.
