Best branching and bud counts 2010
Comments (36)Beachlily - Thanks for sharing your bud counts. It's interesting to see bud counts from someone in Florida. I guess I expected you all would have bud counts in 40-70s like Stamile. It's good to know Magnificent Hummingbird does well for somebody. It only has 8-12 buds per scape here. I'm thinking about moving it next year to a different location. The scapes are still very short and the flowers are much smaller than they should be. There may be tree roots interfering with mine. Nancy Graham and all - I happened to count the bud scars on My Melinda the other day. Surprise, surprise! She was building buds on theose impressive branches. She ended up having 36-38 buds per scape. That sends her to Number 2 on my Bud King list. An oldie but goodie in the bud count department! I didn't even photograph that one this season. In fact I have tried to give it away, but my huband has a fondness for it. Debra...See MoreBest Budded cultivars this year
Comments (54)Debra, thanks so much for the information on Bud Building. I've had scapes that I've thought were through (down to a lone bud or so) and then they kept coming up with new blooms. I thought I'd lost the ability to count properly. I've got one blooming now that did this, Butterscotch something or other. I almost cut off the last scape with the lone bud on it a week ago because it's just too hot for any daylily bloom to look good for long (108 to 112 or more)and I was tired of looking at that lone bud sticking up taunting me. I didn't and now two more buds have appeared. I thought I was suffering from heat stroke. Thanks for the information.....Maryl...See MoreBest Budded Daylilies of 2015
Comments (33)I have Cherry Cheeks, mine has never produced that many buds! That is just awesome. I really like Tiffany Shade. Too Cute- lots of buds and nice branching Tiny Firecracker (though it doesn't exactly have a high bud count here, it bloomed at the beginning of the season, and has a new scape coming up) Final Touch - I've never counted, but oh so many buds...See More2016's Best Performers
