Blooms from the past few days

5 years ago

The season is really starting to pick up. Monday was the first day without rain in at least ten days (not complaining though). Here are some pictures from late last week and over the weekend.

FLAMBOYANT EYES — FFO, more scapes this year

SPACECOAST TIGERTAIL TANGO - FFO (times four!)

LA PARGUERA -early morning photo

THE BAND PLAYED ON - a little splotchy but I love the look

ROCK MY WORLD - the one and only bloom

DIAMOND DUSTED BORDERS

CRAZY IVAN - this one has always had short scapes but it is in some shade. Pretty bloom

COSMIC KALEIDOSCOPE- FFE, added in fall 2016 so I was excited to see this one bloom.

BULLETPROOF

GOOD IMPRESSION - has performed well

I will post more in the comments...

A few more recent blooms:

ALL REVVED UP - FFO duo

COBALT DAWN

NORTHERN NOCTURNE - FFO

NANCY’S QUILT - FFO

SLAP ME SASSY - FFO duo

BLUEGRASS MUSIC - short scapes

WILD HORSES

STUNNINGLY DIFFERENT - love the bloom but only three buds on one scape so far

BRAVE KEMO SABE - added Fall 2017. Love the look of this one.

CLOWN PARADE - FFE - excited to add this one last fall. Picture was taken early in the morning. Off to a good start with three scapes.

Thanks for looking!

Lot of eye candy in this post! I think my top favorite is Diamond Dusted Borders. The bloom on Stunninglly Different really appeals to me. It's a shame it has so few buds for you. Others that caught my eye were Cosmic Kaleidoscope, Brave Kemo Sabe and Clown Parade.

WLK looks good. I like Yada Yada Yada. Love4 the Clowns in Washington name. By the way, your box is on the way finally. Laura's rain bands delayed it and I am glad I got it off yesterday since we are in the midst of several days of rain now. kay

Red Volunteer shows why some of the oldies are so special!! What a beautiful clump!! I agree about Woman at the Well and your photo shows why I need to move mine-it is not in a good spot and barely bloomed this year. Claudine’s Charm is so pretty and I always enjoy your Hawaiian Swirls. The name suits its colors.

I know that many in our little group would consider 90 degrees hot, but this mid AM we had a very brief "cool" spell come through with a temperature of 90. I thought I'd see what a few of my "faders" looked like in what I consider a milder temperature then usual. After looking at my daylilies, it added weight to a theory about color/substance retention and high temperatures. It seems to be tiered, with most daylilies looking good under 90. Then there is another tier for those that can take 90-95 heat and still be colorfast/sunfast. Over 95 is when the real iron men show up............ Fortunately there are lots of folks who are able to enjoy daylilies in milder temperatures then we have and I get to see many really pretty daylilies..........I like your Imperial decree. I really don't care for a petal that slicks or darkens, so that's a big plus on it....Prairie Pink Lace has the form I like so much. Very pretty.....................Maryl

You have some really pretty ones, Lori. Cosmic Kaleidoscope should just keep on going...it re-blooms here most of the time and blooms for a long time always. I really like Brave Kemo Sabe (like the name too) and, clown Parade is gorgeous.

Wish we could grow Cosmic Kaleidoscope here. My pick is Brave Kemo Sabe, and I look forward to future posts on this one. Flamboyant Eyes looks good in your garden, but was never a good performer here.

'Monday was the first day without rain in 10 days'......can I switch regions with you for a week? LOL. Anyway, we did get a one day rain event, our first in an entire month. It barely put a dent in our drought. Now the forecast calls for more sunshine for another week. Weird how some places all it does is rain, and here all it does is shine. As to your lovely daylilies, I love that shot of SC Tigertail Tango and All Revved Up. Stunningly Different lives up to it's name!

Thanks for the comments everyone! Maryl, that is my hand under Cosmic Kaleidoscope but my hand is pretty small. I’ll have to measure the next time it blooms. I’m not sure if the bloom was its registered size of 6.5”.

Celeste, wish I could have sent some rain your way! Hopefully you get some more rain soon.

Lori, you have many pretty daylilies, especially like Spacecoast Tigertail Tango, a real eyecatcher. Same for so many of yours, like Flamboyant Eyes, Stunningly Different, Brave Kemo Sabe and Good Impression is such a good yellow. Your picture of Clown Parade is also impressive, a beauty.

All are very pretty but I'm especially drawn to Spacecoast Tigertail Tango and Brave Kemo Sabe. And of course Clown Parade is always gorgeous.
