SATURDAY'S BLOOMS

Here are the standouts from Saturday:

NINE INCH NAILS: I love cascading spiders, but this one is an exception. This is one that I will always grow. It is also sending up a second scape per fan. I have noticed that more are doing that this year then any other year.

RUBY STORM: Great plant for those in the north

OFF BEAT: One of Maryott's intros that does well for me. I love the appliquéd throat.

STARMAN'S QUEST as a poly

DELICATELY YOURS: Sells itself every year with its delicate look

PLATO'S PUZZLE: The pattern in the throat can be variable. It is more consistent once established. It is more faint in this picture. As the season progresses, it will become stronger.

LORD OF RINGS: This is a very nice purple.

SILOAM RALPH HENRY: Very slow to increased plant. Blooms can be variable. This is one thirsty plant. The more water, the better it performs. When conditions are dry, this plant really suffers. That could be said about most daylilies, but this one really suffers. I have it planted near the vegetable garden, so it gets ample water.

LEDGEWOOD'S TONY LIKES IT: The eye really pops on this one. Was divided last year.

CONNIE CAN'T HAVE IT: Vigorous. Big blooms. Just above the foliage.

PEGGY JEFFCOAT: Outstanding double. I don't grow many, but this one is a keeper.

SUPER MODEL: This is a vigorous plant, with great branching and the blooms are always good.

WHITE EYES PINK DRAGON: Fantastic plant.

COBRASKIN NECKTIE: Makes large fans, the scapes are tall and well branched with many buds. It is just getting started. The appliquéd pattern is usually more forked than in this image. It becomes more apparent with more practice.

LILLIAN'S VAPOR TRAIL: Received this one in the fall of last year. Still in a pot, but I will find it a home.

SMALL WORLD LOONIE TUNES: Cute little one out of GEORGE JETS ON

VICTORIA GARDENS OH HAPPY DAY

I will close with two images of a seedling of mine ENCHANTING ESMERELDA x RED VOLUNTEER. I love the color of this one. It is all about color. Blooms are 6.5 inches and hold up in full sun.

Thanks for looking.

What a magnificent clump of Claudine's Charm! I love the bloom, but after losing it twice, I've given up on it. It interests me that your say Jellyfish Jealousy always has tall scapes. It's only registered at 24 inches. I've grown mine in a pot for more than a dozen years, and 24 inches is what I get. But I saw it on 27-28 inch scapes in a garden in Kingsport. It looks like you will have many flowers on that High Watermark clump. I think my most favorite photo is the one of Gentle on My Mind and Lost in the Toy Store. The clump shot of Maui Sunrise looks much more how mine looks most of the time. Beautiful post, Julia! Debra

FIRE ON THE MOUNTAIN - Well branched and many buds, THE TRIBBLE WITH BLUE - Will rebloom for me. FEAR NOT - Still getting established. PHILLIES' PINSTRIPE - A much improved Key to My Heart as this one does not canoe. PHILLIES' PINSTRIPE with Japanese Beatles SKYHOOKS SMITH BROTHERS - First bloom of the season. VATICAN CITY - The best it has ever looked. It is also out of the foliage for the first time. STAR OF INDIA - Consistent year after year. CHESAPEAKE CRABLEGS That is all for me. David

My Supermodel is young, so good to know it will be well branched. Connie Can't Have It hasn't been vigorous for everyone; have heard from a number of people who lost it. Maybe just a matter of getting established. Off Beat looks somewhat like Mexican Magic, which does fairly well here and is an unusual flower. Ralph Henry definitely slow, which shows in progeny as well. So soupy here this morning!

David - I had more double scaping here than any year since our Flood of 2010. Your red seedling is a gorgeous color! How does Victorian Gardens Oh Happy Day perform for you? I was thinking about adding it. I have Lillian's Vapor Trail and have not been happy with it - weak scapes here that were unable to hold up the huge messy looking flowers. The blooms lack the symmetry I crave. I much prefer its parent, Lillian's Thin Ice.

I like Off beat, it does pretty well here for a Maryott, would do a lot better if I kept a nearby shrub trimmed. Lillian's Vapor Trails was new for me this spring, I like the blooms, although I did find the stems weak. I was hoping that was just due to being planted this year. Love Cobraskin Necktie, and your seedling looks a nice color, a little unusual color that is so nice.

Lots of nice daylilies David. I especially like your seedling. Sounds like you've improved on Red Volunteer. It is one of my favorite reds, but I have to grow it in a shady area because it does not hold up to sun.

Very nice seedling with gorgeous color! I also really like Ruby Storm, Connie Can’t Have It, Ledgewood’s Tony Likes It, and White Eyes Pink Dragon. Great group!
