July 4th blooms
A beautiful day to get chores done even though we started the morning with a dewy 57 degrees. Many of you posted about the splotches and here too, cool, dewy mornings does affect some of the blooms. But many pulled through just fine.
OSTERIZED - I highly recommend this daylily. Always perfect openings, well placed large blooms and increases great. Best part, it is tall and does not droop with the heavy blooms.
RIBBIT RIBBIT - just keeps pumping out the scapes and blooms each year. All those scapes provide a great show for several weeks.
MOUNT ECHO SUNRISE - this one can lean when multiple blooms are open on the same scape. Still a very liable early morning opener.
STEALTH BOMBER - went into overdrive this morning with so many opening at once. All FFO. Too many at once tends to hang up some of the inner blooms. Lots of scapes and buds this year so it will also be blooming for a long time.
SCULTPED SEASHELLS - this is registered as a ev so I wouldn't recommend it for a zone lower than mine. It had 4 blooms open and only 2 opened good. Definitely does not like cool mornings.
LAVENDER CREAM CASCADES - I've only found 1 scape on the entire clump and it is under the registered height this year. hmmm, not sure what happened with it this year. I do like the color combination and it recurves nicely as seen in the second photo. Mine has a cream color not peachy with the lavender edge and eye area.
SOUL ON FIRE - looks like it will be a bump crop year of blooms on this one this year. Sadly it does need dividing but I may need a backhoe to lift this clump out.
ENTER LAUGHING - reliable, increases good.
FREEDOMS TRIUMP - not a good emo on cool, dewy mornings. It had several blooms open this morning but this was the best that opened fully. Sorry for the close headshot.

COUNT IT ALL JOY - it has a bit of white on one of the petals. I moved it from the back garden to the redo bed last fall. Hope it does well in its new spot. More scapes and buds than I've seen in the past.
TILL THE END OF TIME - now this is what happens when dew hits the blooms but it did give me a great show this morning even with the sun hitting it already.
ROSE MASTERPIECE - decided to provide a show this morning.
JAMAICAN LOVE - not a daylily that likes cool mornings. Days it was warmer overnight it would be much better.
PHILISTINE CHAMPION - hope I spelled that correctly. Opened fine this cool morning. Not a lot of increase and it is still in my holding bed. That could be the problem as those beds were weed infested until a few days ago when I finally weeded them. Now I can put the marker back in place after the deer kicked it out during the winter.
LUNAR MAX - yesterday and the day before it opened many blooms like this.
And lastly, my favorite pic of the day. Hope you have/had and enjoyable, relaxing and fun filled 4th.

A Few July 4th Blooms
Comments (2)Thanks for sharing the beautiful pics. Mary, and Happy 4th of July to you. I hope you get some help with your grass hopper invasison. Didn't know they could do that much damage. I am searching for some help with my earwigs. They have invaded my pots - 4-inch pots hanging from my deck rail in little holders. Don't know how they got there but they are doing a number on my petunias....See MoreBlooms on the 4th of July

Comments (3)Hi! Congrats Suzanne on that terrific total on the yard sale! What was the fund raiser for? Carolyn, I feel your pain re the heat! Hotter than heck here too... I think most of us are catching up on FB, but I find this to be so much more private, a safe place where we can bare our souls. This group is amazing, even if I haven't been checking in so often! Just wanted to say thank you for all of the prayers and good wishes, good thoughts from you guys after my accident. I am completely recovered from that nasty concussion, jaw is all healed and i have been back to work for the past 2 1/2 weeks! You might have seen that I have already been deep sea fishing and this Sunday I am taking my kayak out on Newport Bay. Can't wait! Can't find too many friends or family who enjoy kayaking as much as I do, so I went to meetup.com and found some new friends who DO! Ha! There is group at that link for EVERY interest. So Carolyn, go find 'em! You might suddenly find yourself with TOO much to do! : ) tikanis...See MoreJuly 1st - July 4th
Comments (13)Happy Canada Day to our Canadian neighbors and happy Independence Day to everyone here in the United States. I have nothing in particular planned, Elery and I have been working hard renovating the kitchen. I just painted countertops and they can't be used for a couple of days. Ashley is in the hospital, the docs think it's her gallbladder. No, kidney stones. No, wait.....oh, they don't know. Ugh. Makayla is signed up for ballet camp and I've been driving her back and forth to Grand Rapids. Fireworks used to be fun until they started popping them off at every amusement park, ball game, car dealership opening, whatever. Now I don't care if I ever see them again, but Amanda is working on the 4th of July and I might end up with Bud and Makayla somewhere. Have fun, everyone! Annie...See More
