Rainy Day Blooms

6 years ago

With so much rain, it seems most days they are rain spotted but not like usual, mostly just drops of water on the blooms rather than splotches.

Mountain Buebird: Looking much too reddish

Intelligent Design on Re-bloom

Last bloom on Hearts of Fire: or so I thought

I have so enjoyed Emerald Starburst which is regular height:

Every year, El Desperado goes on and on: Eye Yi Yi in background

Island Time:

Spider Man:

Laura Harwood (Mantis, this is one I had to wait for . It wasn't much at all the first two years, but this year has been different)I tried to post a photo of the five blooms, but it makes it longways when I do

Pretty section of yard: Spoken in Parables on the right is in re-bloom.

Indian Ripple:

VELVET EYES is so pretty with the dark eye. PEARLFISHER KING is a lovely color and SECOND MILLENIUM has a great double bloom color. Julia

Mantis - The Shores of Time seedling is only a one year old so there's not much to evaluate yet. It is definitely more vigorous than its lookalike sister. The sib is still one fan, and the one pictured above split into three fans after blooming. I'm hoping that one will continue to improve because it has such fabulous color. Of my Davissons, only Miss Goldie Gold Digger and a toothy seedling are planted in the ground. The drawback with Miss Goldie is the gigantic blooms that weigh the scapes down too much when it rains. It has 16-21 buds per scape here and some instant rebloom coming. No Boys Allowed multiplies well, but consistently has low bud count for me. Michael Davisson has a wimpy plant habit but gorgeous blooms. It had more buds than No Boys Allowed, but not as many as Carolina Cool Down. Miss Demeanor is a vigorous multiplier with big fans. Only 8-9 buds grown in a pot. Reckless Girls impressed me with it's good growth and immediate multiplying. The purple blooms were very sunfast. Another well-budded Davisson is a seedling I got from her, which is a cross between Jerry Nettles and No Boys Allowed. It had 16-18 buds this season. It multiplies well and has nice foliage. It does not grow as tall here as it does for Judy. Davisson Seedling Jerry Nettles X No Boys Allowed This post was edited by shive on Tue, Jul 23, 13 at 19:01

Thank you! It's kind of cold and dreary today, but the forecast for the next few days is looking good, so hopefully the majority of my Poseidon blooms and others that have that problem will be okay. The discoloration doesn't seem to a problem with OLOG. My Pope John Paul II got cut way back this year, but has got some healthy new growth with quite a few little buds on it. However, there is one big bud that is opening up and it started turning brown around the edges, I am so disappointed, I was looking forward to seeing a big beautiful PJPII BLOOM!

Thanks Debra. I don't know how much longer that winding pathway will be there if those clumps keep spreading! Time to divide, I think. Nancy, I know yours will be starting to pop soon. Mantis, I have Omomuki and while these are very similar, there are some differences. Same with Imperial Lemon which I thought might be this one but I also have IL, so it is easy to compare. I bought this noid from a daylily garden in Nashville over 20 years ago and somewhere in my gardening notes, I know I must have kept the names of those I bought. Just haven't found it yet. Celeste, I am so sorry you may be looking at another dry summer. At least you got PLENTY of snow to help with your ground water depth perhaps. Hopefully, rain will make it to you before your buds begin! Yours are always lovely, no matter the weather. Kate

Realky like Indian Ripple. And nice shot with raindrops on it. That's the way all of mine looked today with all our rain!

I have never seen Intelligent Design so vivid as it is here this year. And you have rebloom! However, this is a year in which almost everything looks extra good. Isn't it sort of late in the cycle to have Spider Man with so many blooms? Or is this rebloom?

Nice group Kay. Intelligent Design is always a favorite here. I've seen photos of Mountain Bluebird so I understand your comment about the reddish color since photos I've seen from Blue Ridge it appears a darker purple with a watermark and green throat. The watermark and green throat in your photo does stand out. Nice pic.

Thank you all for looking and commenting.When I walked around the garden (between heavy rains) I originally thought "well, another week or so and blooming will be over....except for PInk Ginham and its eight rebloom scapes. Then I started finding more rebloom scapes on other plants. A dozen more plants, some with three scapes The re-bloom scapes are generally taller as Brad said later scapes were in his garden. So I guess with the rebloom scapes I've already seen, there will be bloom well into July. A long season this year. Julia, it is frustrating to not get the right color on a bloom. Mantis, I am having more rebloom scapes than usual...the multi blooms mean they won't bloom as long, but they look so good in clumps.

I'm so glad your season is going so well! Intelligent Design looks really pretty, but I think Indian Ripple is my favorite. I don't care for orange daylilies, but that one I would make an exception. Your garden still looks good!

Lovely blooms! Intelligent Design is my favorite, along with the El Desperado clump. Nice garden shot as well.
