Long Bloomers, Lates, and Reblooms

6 years ago

I'm back at home after many days in Indianapolis. My mom is in rehab now, but she is still very weak. I really didn't think she was ready to leave the hospital, but the doctors discharged her anyway. Bloom is over for most of my daylilies, but there were a few pretties to photograph yesterday and today.

Baja California on rebloom

Best for Last, one of my best budded late bloomers

Dance Again, an ML bloomer that goes for a long time

Everything You Desire on rebloom - one of the rebloom scapes has 19 buds!

Picasso's Intrigue reblooming

Pink Extraordinaire rebloom

Ruby Lipstick is always a long bloomer for me.

Scarlet Angel is down to it's last few buds.

Surfin Dude is another late bloomer.

Tahlequah Flame, also late, is better budded than it's been in the past two years.

More to come ...

Just a few more ...

This Longing is reblooming with two scapes.

Vivacious Spirit did most of its reblooming while I was away. But I did get to see this rebloom flower.

Palace Garden Beauty is blooming later than usual this year.

The Dominator reblooming

Wave Become Wings, a late

We Are the Champions, also a late

Patricia Snider Memorial rebloom

That's all for now.

I always enjoy seeing We are the Champions. Best for Last and The Dominator are also favorites of this bunch, though they all are nice.

Do re-bloomers really re-bloom?

I appreciate your responses. I guess I better try dividing my Stellas and Happy Returns, although some of them have been divided in the past because I wanted more plants--and I don't remember that they necessarily re-bloomed any better. Maybe they needed more water also. Would it help to divide them now? Or should I wait until early spring? I wouldn't mind also having a reddish or purplish daylily that re-bloomed well. Any suggestions? Kate

Thanks everyone. I find it's easier to appreciate the late daylilies when there is so little competition. I like them all. Marg and Jean,I think Alexis Sunny Pants just might be my favorite plant in the garden this year. It is such a fabulous performer. Eggplant Electricity has been a favorite for a few years. Mantis--Spacecoast Dragon Prince was new last August, but so far has been very impressive. I've always liked Elegant Finale--a very nice late bloomer. Purple Archittecture is fairly new and is putting on a show. Great branching on this one. Val

Blazing Cannons fades some, but it is still very colorful by evening. It's not one of my favorite reds because it has an orange base. I prefer the blue reds like Insider Trading and Red Edition. It does have a good bud count though. Our high temp today was 97 with a heat index of 113. Here's how it looked at 7:30 p.m. It's in full sun all day. Nancy - Although we got quite a bit of rain the first week of July, most of the showers since then have gone north or east of us. Except for the red bed and the seedling bed which I water daily, the other beds are very dry and there's lots of bad foliage. Debra

Like the Skater and Royal Jester pics. You seem to have a lot of rebloom this year. After thinking my season would never end last year due to rebloom, it has been rare to see rebloom scapes this year. Certainly not due to lack of rain as it has been plentiful (sorry for all of you that have not) and lilies seem to be putting energy into multiplying as they certainly are doing that!! Lots of nice photos in this post. Kate

This is a very colorful post with so many beauties it is hard to pick a standout. But I think I like Everything You Desire and Pink Extraordinaire the best. Gorgeous collection today, Debra! Glad to hear your mom is out of the hospital and headed towards recovery. I hope her health improves steadily and you can relax a little.

Sending continued well wishes to your mom, hope she continues to improve. Gorgeous collection of blooms. Everything You Desire really stands out, very nice edge. Other favorites include Picasso's Intrigue, This Longing, and of course, The Dominator. How does Patricia Snider Memorial perform in your garden in terms of bud count? Does it rebloom most years? I am considering adding that one. Thanks!

Lori - Patricia Snider Memorial doesn't often have a lot of buds here - usually around 10 per scape. Some years it reblooms, and others it doesn't. It does get knocked back in hard winters, and has taken three years to recover.

They don't let you linger in hospitals anymore. When my DH had his knee replacement operation I went back in for lunch the next day and came home with him that afternoon. I hope your mother gets her strength back and recovers in every way. Will you be going back soon?.........On to daylilies. Well, I was impressed by Petit's Everything You Desire. Great color, form etc. Has all my bells and whistles. The only thing I question is his color description of cranberry rose. Looks too light for what I picture as a darker color..........!@%!! on Vivacious Spirit. New for me this year, I don't even know if it will make it. Now downsized to a small pot it gets all the best stuff - from soil to fertilizer to light. Did yours struggle at all?........Again, on your mom, sending positive thoughts your way......Maryl

Rehab is so important as long as your mother is up to it. Good rehab starts where you are and works you up to where you need to be at a challenging but not too challenging pace. Insurance is possibly part of the reason for the quicker than you like discharge.

Maryl - Vivacious Spirit does struggle here. I had it planted in another place, and it did not grow well or bloom for two years. Now that it's planted right next to the house, it did multiply. But it seems like a very wimpy plant. Everything You Desire looks much lighter in the sun. It looks quite dark in my shade photos. While cranberry is dark, rose is not. Put them together and you get the color of Everything You Desire.

Brad - I'm sure you're right about insurance being a factor in my mother's discharge from the hospital before she is ready to go. We have only about 10 days of rehab left that Medicare will fully cover.

Everything You Desire is a beautiful red, I like the white edge on it. Picasso's Intrigue looks good to me, and I always love Patricia Snider Mem. Palace Garden Beauty IS blooming late for you. Mine bloomed quite well for a long time this year, but has finished now. We are the Champions is a gorgeous color.

Best for Last was darker here this year; last year, it was rather washed out. Ruby Lipstick is just at foliage level. There have been a number here, including Laura Harwood, that are blooming on shorter-than-usual scapes.

Everything you Desire is an amazing color! But I was also much taken by Patricia Snider Memorial- the graceful fall of the petals.

Beautiful photos, as usual, Debra. Picasso's Intrigue is gorgeous. I have considered getting it, but we are trying to stay away from southern bred ones. Too many just don't perform here and we end up losing them or sending them to a friend in Alabama. Your Ruby Lipstick always looks so nice. Mine never seems to be as pretty or white as yours. I love the eye on The Dominator.

All very pretty Debra. Cannot pick a favorite this time. Too much eye candy. Glad to hear your Mom is recovering and I hope she continues to improve.

Nan - I know what you mean about the Southern bred ones. It seems like they're getting more tender all the time. A few years ago, I could grow anything bred in Florida without a problem. But now I have several that just don't thrive here in Middle Tennessee. Ruby Lipstick never looks that light unless temps are in the 90s. And in the shade it photographs lighter than it really is.

Really beautiful, as always. We have missed your posts. Everything You Desire is gorgeous! I have always liked Tahlequah Flame and it is beautiful. Ruby Lipstick is beautiful...Every time I see the Dominator, I wonder why I haven't added that one. Beautiful post, Debra. I am glad your mom is doing better or at lest making progress. Disease hits us elderly folks hard.
