Still bloom and plants still putting up scapes

6 years ago

This is crazy. Today I find Heavenly Angel Ice with a rebloom scape, yesterday it was Blueberry breakfast with several scapes, the day before Fear Not, and Today, some pretty blooms.

Marseilles Watercolor: Much taller than usual and three scapes:

A pretty Bubble Yummin Momma:

Woodstock Revival has been showing off for a while:

Icy with two scapes:

Continuing to have Laura Harworth...and she has put up a third scape:

Forsyth's Fire In The Hole:

Wild Rose Petals is a winner:

Red Combo

Ledgewood's Jumpstart:

Etosha has put up another scape:

And there are a lot more of them that have been blooming. I need to be rearranging, but won't disturb blooming plants. I did move Roman Cohort and a tiny piece of Blue Ribbon Rodeo today and I moved Barney from the old bed to the iris row yesterday.

Thanks Kay. I had been on the Forum before but was absent for awhile due to computer issues. When I got my new computer, it was during daylily peak season. I did not have time to participate the forum as frequently as I could. Things are less hectic now with the bloom season over so I have been doing catch up with a better computer. So many gorgeous photos and daylilies that I had missed! I am the one you had generously gifted a double fan of Karen Stephens last year.

Karen Stephen bloomed beautifully this year!

Here is the pink seedling from Rose Sensation X Barbara Mandrell, a cross that I bought on LA. Hope that the splotchiness issue will improve with the seedling maturation.

Beautiful photos! I like Marseilles Watercolor and Wild Rose Petals the best. We have grown Etosha here for years, but it has never rebloomed for us.

Oh hahaha Kay!! I know the feeling!! I keep going out to check on moving and rearranging and see the same thing! One clump has 12 new scapes coming up. Unbelievable! Next year I may not see a single rebloom. And rain the last three days will do who knows what. These are all lovely though. I really like Wild Rose Petals.

Some nice blooms still coming up...

MRIB is easily a favorite. It seems to be vigorous and blooms well here. Memories of Saratoga is by Phil Reilly, and does very well under full sun. Really gorgeous at the end of the day. Big surprise was Laura Harwood. Big, at least 7" blooms and gorgeous dark colors that are sunfast. Thank you all. Bj

08 seedlings still putting up scapes
Q

Really nice job, Linda. How much space do you have for seedlings? Looks like a large area. Some of my '08 seedlings are larger than bloom size fans that I bought & bloomed this year but I would be very surprised to get any scapes this fall. Several are increasing well already. Even if any do send up scapes it has been so cool that the few buds of named cultivars I have are not opening properly. STRAWBERRY CANDY was the excepton as it opened fine yesterday (we had 2 hot days even though the nights were still cool) but I all but missed it as it was only 1/2 open when I left for work and too dark to take a picture when I came home. I do think "magic soil" has something to do with it because all of my borders were enriched the same with 3-5 inches of sheep manure 3 years ago, and all seedlings were fertilized the same but the largest seedlings are those that I planted in one area that formerly housed a compost heap. Even though the compost was moved away the soil is still in nicer condition there. The seedlings there are noticeably larger than some planted on the same day just a few feet away. I also suspect hours of light has something to do with it. You may have that perfect combination.

What beautiful pictures. My So Sweet and all my other hostas just look like so much mush now. We had several days of below freezing in the 2nd week of October. That did it for pretty much all my plants. :( So I live vicariously through yours.. keep posting I love your pictures. Alexis

I planted Armenian cucumbers last year and like them better than any fresh cucumbers I have eaten. I did not plant any this year because I had volunteers that came up in the lawn and I just moved them to the garden. I have one plant growing in a gravel pile. Larry

Great group of rebloomers! Nice to have so many still blooming. Icy, Red Combo, and Ledgewood's Jumpstart catch my eye.

Nancy, Etosha tends to rebloom here, but usually just one scape. And Kate, you almost feel bad about that you'd like them to finish. Alex and Debra, Marseilles Watercolor always re-blooms well, and usually early, which it did, but when it sent up the set of tall scapes, it didn't occur to me that even u the label said MW it cold actually be MW. I assumed it had to be Half Moon Key since MW has been much shorter every time...but I had cut off some of the tulip tree limbs and it is getting more sun, which may have helped. And that tree may go yet. Julia, it started April 24th and today I saw that Crazy Mr Jim has put up two scapes. Heavenly Angel Ice has scapes. It may well be September before it is finished. Lori, I need to move Jumpstart, I think. Thank you all for looking and commenting...and Brad, it really can go too long.

Wow! Those are some pretty ones! Love Ledgewood's Jumpstart - your plant is nicer than the one at the AHS site, IMO, since I prefer the whiter cream rather than the golden cream in their photo. [I often go there to check the ploidy on one's I like. :) ]

Thank you, Alex. Jumpstart is a pretty one and I need to move it to better spot. I too check any plant's ploidy on that website

You are really getting great rebloom this year! Such pretty ones too. I've had some rebloom, but some of my plants that usually rebloom haven't this year.

Wow, those are beautiful reblooms! I love MW. Is it as white as the color in the pic? What a beautiful bloom. Bubble Yummin Momma has such a lovely shade of pink. I have a seedling from Rose Sensation that has a similar shade of pink. THough on hot days, the pink turns a bit peachy.

Yes, Karen, MW is always just that white. Whitest one I have or have seen. Bubble Yummin Momma has beautiful blooms when they are not splotch. It would probably be prettier in your location because mt impression is that Celeste doesn't have issues with it being sloppy and she is more in your area. Thank you for looking and commenting. I don't think I have seen your name before, so welcome to the forum.

Love that seedling! I guess I'll be investing in more tets for sure. Seems like the extra frills are mostly with the tets.

The seedling is very pretty, and your Katren Stephens photo is lovely. I am glad it bloomed forst year for you. Your seeldng may well clear up. As I said, BYM always has a tendency to splotch at the beginning here, and it has now put out several lovely blooms. Hope to be seeing you on the forum again.
