A kiss for a bullfrog

8 years ago

Here's Bullfrog Kisses ffo! Pretty flower but low bud count and short scapes. This evergreen evidently didn't like our harsh winter and teeter totter spring temps.

Flowergirl - Autumn Jewels and and Desperado Love do have flowers that are similar colors. Both are descended from El Desperado. I grow all three because I like that color combo. AJ and DL have different shaped blooms, different sized blooms, different scape heights, and different bloom times. AJ has a 6-inch bloom on 40-inch scapes and is a late bloomer. DL has a 5-inch bloom on 26-inch scapes (it's 29 inches here) and blooms midseason. Chris - Mantis is right. Bullfrog Kisses was hybridized by Frank Smith. The Trimmers have a general listing with newer daylilies hybridized by others on it. I wanted to add more Frank Smith daylilies because I've had such good luck with American Doll and I Remember You. So I bought Bullfrog Kisses and Patsy Cline from Watermill, along with four of Trimmers intros because the prices were the best I could find on the Smiths. Debra

Bob, I absolutely adore orange daylilies. Bill Maryotts Winners Trophy is a gorgeous one that I got, but I have quite a few and I saw that beauty that I think it was Nancy that posted and said her husband loved it. I got Parrot Jungle, but Dan said it was mainly meant for hybridizers, not growers, but when it can be a real beauty. If you can pot them up right now and baby them a little, this is the perfect time on the auction. Not a lot of bidders, I think. The least I paid was $10 and the most $34.01. I have bought from all but one of them before and really enjoyed communicating back and forth with Tink. Sherry, it is a good place to pick up expensive ones for bargain prices sometimes. I am always just going to look, but it never turns out like that. I knew I was moving a few out, so No I have replacements. kay

A bevy of beauties! I agree about the point in the season when the blooms are picking up. It is like getting a present when a favorite blooms. I always like Bullfrog Kisses, and Happy Happy looks good. Like everyone I too really like Geometric wizard; I think Nancy had the first bloom of it I saw, and I have enjoyed it so much. I also like Memory of Morning, Kate. And you are supposed to get rain this weekend too. I hope you need it, because I really do and we know what it does for blooming. kay

I really like that edge & the wide open look of it. Too bad about the low bud count though. Does it at least rebloom for you?

My original plant did rebloom during two seasons. This replacement plant rebloomed on only one fan last year.

I can handle a lower bud count if it reblooms, & seems like this one is determined

Nancy - My original plant had a much better bud count with side branching. I think this one will do better in subsequent years.

It looks well worth a bit of pampering...I don't know of many with that clean of a background and red eye and edge. This is one of my wife's favorite color combos on daylilies. She just got this one, so I hope it makes it through the winter!
