Blooms from Wednesday....
Comments (3)Those are both so very pretty, really like them. I think so many of us are trying to post our photos pb just can't keep up :) I don't normally have too many problems with it, but yesterday afternoon it was being really quirky. This morning it worked fine for me....See MoreBlooming and Blooming on Wednesday
Comments (14)Remy- It could be WISESTS OF WIZARDS but I don't know. There are a bunch of them that look too similar to me that I have which are MINSTRALS FIRE, LEE PICKLES and CONTINENTAL HOLIDAY. Of the three, the palest eyezone is in WISEST OF WIZARDS. Still even that changes from flower to flower. You can see that my two flowers were not exactly the same color and that was not a trick of the light. Here is CONTINENTAL HOLIDAY for comparison. I don't have pictures now of the others....See MoreBlooming on Wednesday
Comments (11)Signet, we just got Carnosaur a few weeks ago. I think it was grown in Florida and already had a scape. Actually, we are baby-sitting Carnosaur for our club so it didn't cost us anything. In three years we will take back the increase to auction and keep a piece for ourselves. The luck of the draw gave us first pick this year. Maryl, the sad story is that we no longer have Krakatoa Katie. We had several lined out double fans and a few small clumps and it all died. The small clumps tried to grow this spring, but didn't make it. We have had several do that this spring. They put out a small fan and then it dies. There were only two other people that had Krakatoa Katie and one of them lost his. His yard flooded in the winter (a drainage issue in his subdivision) and it died. The only Krakatoa Katie that lies is in Indianapolis. He has about 6 fans of it. We told him that when it got big enough, we wanted to buy a couple of fans from him. After growing it for about 6 years, I'm surprised that all of it died. Debra, our goal is to get a wide red edge on the white daylily. Unfortunately some of the best edges are on the southerns. I was using Stellar Stitchery because of its red edge (and it has white teeth on the sepals), but it died this spring. I will try to replace that one. Bullfrog Kisses and Marilyn Monroe both died as well. We do have some seedlings with red edges that are offspring of Stellar Stitchery. They look good and we will be using them this season. We also will try flip the eye color to red by using Sam Abel, one the the widest edges on a hardy one that I know. Sam doesn't set seed very well though. What I'd really like is a red edge with teeth (red, white, or gold--I don't care). That's a few years down the road, I'm afraid. Here's a seedling that will be used this year (if it is still alive--I think it is). Not as heavy an edge as I want, but it does go almost all around. It even has a few teeth on the sepals. It is Stellar Stitchery X (Empire of Dawn and Dusk X Ruby Lipstick). Nancy...See MoreBlooms on Wednesday
Comments (7)I have the same problem with the big red ones. Want to get rid of a couple, but they all perform so well I can't seem to do it, instead i seem to add another. I like yours too. I am with Mantis, Fiesta Latina is not one I would normally pick. I think it was actually offered to me as a bonus, and I am so glad it have it. Love Thunderbird Dancer....See MoreLaura twixanddud - SE MI - 5b
