Friday's reg blooms and poly blooms

5 years ago

Here was what was happening on Friday:

INCENDIARY: Not as tall as registered. Rarely do I see the appliquéd eye. Bud count is not that great. I would like to hear others' thoughts about its performance. Mine has been sitting in a pot for several years. Do I plant it according to registered height (36") or according to what really is the height in my garden (24")?

TIME FOR ETERNITY: One of the few Petit's that blooms above the foliage for me. Has a triple edge.

LINDA SIERRA: Fantastic plant. This the FFO. It is tall and has an overall "blue" effect in the garden. This one will never leave the garden.

HALF MOON KEY: Another Petit that blooms above the foliage. The only draw back with this one is that the blooms can be splotchy early on. Substance is thick and scapes are strong. Blooms for a long time.

CLOWN PARADE: FFO. Not the best representation, but this is a fantastic plant.

SAUCY VIXEN: Received as a bonus plant from a LA win. Performs better than the plant I won. Actually, I no longer have the plant I won. It is pod and pollen fertile. I should see some seedlings this summer.

BEAUTY IN MOTION: The was a bonus from Bud Bennett. It is a great pink. I have had it rebloom.

HEMAN: Another one that starts out splotchy before hitting its stride. Blooms for a long time.

The following are poly blooms taken last evening. They were not fully open when I went to work.

In some pics, Saucy Vixen looks a lot like Royal Renaissance (a parent). Are you able to compare the two? Half Moon Key has been quite clean this year. Actually, many that tend to splotch here have been fairly clean. For example, Matthew Martin, which is often splotchy here, has been very clean. It is always clean at the estate garde, where it is free of dew. Location makes a difference too. As I remember, Debra found a new location for Dena Marie's Sister, which was intolerably splotchy here.

Rita, I ordered the Hellow Yellow Butterfly from one of the garden places in Mi. I don't remember the name but you could google it. I've had it for several years..Look at Debra's Julie Newmar..mine's piteous!! I have orange Butterfly weed that has a red eye and I have some side of the road weed too! I like them too and the butterflies love them... Debra, I suspect that dl is from Splendid touch but don't know for sure. She does have a good form, color and the watermark that make her pretty. Yep, the other flowers and weeds are loving the rain.. Vickie, the pink orphan is the best of this bunch, so far. I have another very similar dl that's 3 or 4 years old that is a beauty too! I like the J Iris too but they are quite tall.. The others didn't bloom!! Michelle, my Japanese Iris last several days..They are planted in filtered sun. They get full morning but partially shadied in the afternoon..The Hydrangea has an oak leaf but is a hybrid call Harmony!! It was discovered in South Alabama at an old homeplace about 50 years ago. The pic doesn't do it justice because the blooms can get as big as your head and the bloosoms are so thick, you can barely get a finger forced through. It rained a bit this morning and we are expecting heavier rain this afternoon. I love the rain but don't like the splotches! Yuck!!! I wondered what you had been up to Nancy! I bet it looks dreamy there now. It looked good the last time I was there!. I have a small greenhouse but no shelves yet. A couple of my daughters bought it for me last Nov for my b'day. I wish I had had it several years ago!! Waiting patiently for picture!! BTW, I got something Marvelous from you when you got it new. Mine is Ballroom Waltz.. Thanks for all the responce!! Ellie 'day

Thank you all! Statmam, glad my pic helped :) Chris, spidery noid could be somebody's seedling, I don't know. It was among my very first daylilies, mostly noids. Mantis, I am surprised I don't have a lot of spotty blooms this year. Normally both Mighty Fortress and Tower of Babel will have spots (there are some minor now on TOB, but not like the years before).

I love the color of Final Touch although I don't think mine has ever rebloomed. Concrete Blonde, on the other hand, has sent up three sets of rebloom scapes this season and is still going strong. I am thinking of dividing it and putting it in every bed I have to give some color throughout the yard this time of year. If I do that it will probably never rebloom again!!

Becky Adams is blooming for the first time. It was added to the garden last spring. Catching Fire was just recently moved, but it didn't seem to mind. Dynamic Apricot Ruffles is a beautiful color, but it is hard to get a good picture of it because it just seems to reflect the sun. Bob likes Peach Yum Yum, but I an not a fan. I think it's the shape I don't care for. We moved Spacecoast Thorny Devil last fall (it was in the section smashed by the fallen pine tree) and it seems to like its new location. I posted Sihir the other day, but today's bloom was much better so I'll post it again. I think it am really going to like this one. That's all for today. Nancy

Having never grown ROYAL RENAISSANCE, but in looking at the on-line pictures and looking at SAUCY VIXEN over the years, I would say that SV is moving toward the pink end of the spectrum as RR is more toward the red end of the spectrum. As the season wears on, the edge on SV becomes a little more pronounced. The color saturation is also temp dependent.

Great photos, and I appreciate your remarks on their growth. The poly blooms are impressive. I may have to try Linda Sierra, I like the different look of it. As far as Incendiary, I have never seen the pattern here, maybe the beginnings of a pattern on a hot day. Mine gets 28 to 30" tall, certainly no where near 36". I have never counted the buds, but I am happy with its bloom. It has been blooming here for 5 weeks, not done yet but it will be within the week. I would live to see the pattern on it, but I still like the blooms, and it performs above average here so it stays.

Great photos. I agree with you on both Clown Parade and Half Moon Key. Half Moon Key has really been an excellent plant this year, especially. Even though the earliest blooms may splotch it blooms so long here by reblooming that it makes up for it and it is well above the listed height as well at 32". Normally it is 28-30". It must like the higher temps.

Linda Sierra is quite lovely. Beauty in Motion is lovely,Bennett did so well with his pretty bloom, didn't hhe? And I always love polys so thank you for posting them.

David - It's good to hear such a glowing report on Linda Sierra. It's my favorite of these today. I'm also drawn to Beauty in Motion.

Nice collection of blooms! Linda Sierra looks great. Lots of nice pinks. Beauty In Motion and your poly blooms catch my eye. I planted Incendiary in the back row of the bed (based on its registered height) and it does not reach 36” in my garden. I have not measured, but I would say mine is closer to your 24” height (although mine is planted in a somewhat shady spot).

INCENDIARY will probably do better in the ground. My experience is limited, however, as I live in a climate that is too cold to keep daylilies in pots over winter. On a related subject, I have daylilies that have exceeded their registered height this year, thanks to all the rain. Truly I love Thee has wonderful scapes and flowers, better than I ever imagined.
