Blooming on Monday

Our heat has departed, but it is so windy today it is hard to take pictures.

I'll start with the small flowered ones. This is School Bus.

Broadway Sparkler is a rather large plant.

I love the color of Broadway Spotlight.

Madeline Nettles Eyes is a quite small flower. (By the way, the name bugs me. I want to put an apostrophe in Nettles.)

Now for the big ones. . .

Aaron Brown had a nice flower open today.

Dr Jules Michael Vinkman is one of my favorites.

Get Jiggy was showing just a bit of the pattern today.

Tropical Fusion is one of our favorite oranges.

Patricia Ann's Calliopsis is new to the garden. I think I like it.

There were several seedling queens to pick from today, but Bob picked this one. It is Horsing Around X Bristling Fury. (Please pardon my hand. The scape was leaning on the name tag and I had to straighten it.)

Love the color of Sp Thorny Devil, and the edge! But not the name :)) I also really like the look of Mystery of the Ages. And Wild Cherry Wine is just lovely!

How is Outer Limits in regard to splotchiness? With some lighter flowers, a bit of splotch doesn't detract that much. Birthday Wishes looked quite good here this year, but bloomed in the moisture period.

Thank you; Nancy. I really liked Heart of Glass last year when it bloomed in the pot and it is beautiful again. Clump shots are always a favorite, aren't they. sometimes there are blooms on the other side of the plant and they look better without that bloom or two and that was the case today on a couple of them. You are right, Kate, they are beginning to roll. We had rain again today and they love that as you know. Did you get any this time? maybe Heart of Glass will increase nicely. .We will hope for that. kay

Oklahoma Sand Burr was nice this morning. Bob and I are getting into dip ufs, especially the intros of Margo Reed and Jim Murphy. This is Jim's One More Bud. This picture doesn't do Spirit of Halloween justice. It is much more vibrant orange. It's in a spot in the shade in the morning when I am usually taking pictures, and I can't get the true color even with the white card trick. Vivian Glass is new to the garden. It belongs to our daughter. I guess we will name this one seedling Queen today. Bob is happy to see this one because it comes out of his Fulva breeding program. It is Fulva 'Korean' x Transylvanian Tango) X Crimson Stories. He is happy to get a modern face (with teeth even) in a second generation from fulva. Here's another seedling we liked. This is Sonoran Desert Rose X (Belle of Ashwood X Cactus Blossom). That's enough for today. Nancy

I have Broadway Sparkler here and it is probably one of the few short scaped and small bloom daylilies that I own but it always opens perfectly here. Increases great. Your photo of Get Jiggy is probably one of a few that shows it opening fully. Nice pic. Aaron Brown looks to have many buds yet to open. Is it short scaped or just the angle of the photo?

I always love Aaron Brown which I grow also and Patricia Ann's Calliopsis is really striking....so that one is my favorite of these. Your seedlings are always exciting to see.

I like Aaron Brown and Dr Vinkman today. Get Jiggy is nice but it seems that interesting pattern doesn't show up that much.

Julia, so far Aaron Brown has a short scape. It is not yet at clump strength so I hope the scapes get taller. Also, we have many plants with short scapes this year. We attribute that to the cold spells we had after they had started growing too early. Those frosts did a lot of damage.

Nancy: Sometimes we just don't know what Mother Nature will give us each season. Last year we had a drought here and this year we've had plenty of rain. Such is life.

Aaron Brown and Dr. Jules are my top two favorites of this batch, but all the others are certainly worthy of a look see..........Maryl
