Monday's late bloomers

We are really past the peak now. The late bloomers, except for about Sandra Elizabeth and Never Too Late, have all started blooming.

Deadliest Catch is registered as a mid-late, but it just started blooming.

Bo Diddley is a good performer.

Wolverine just never stops. It is covered in pods, yet it just keeps on blooming. It and Love All Serve All are probably the longest bloomers in the garden. I pollinated the first Wolverine bloom on June 23 and it is not yet near finished.

I'll put the seedlings in the comments.

Some of these seedlings I have posted before, but they were so pretty today, I just had to take pictures.

We were really excited about this one. This is a rebloom scape on Abilene Lillian X (Empire of Dawn and Dusk X Ruby Lipstick). The base color is more cream while the pollen parent's base color sometimes looks pale pink. The edge is all the way around the petal on this one.

I have posted this one before. I wish the sepals were better formed. This is Jewel of Jewels X Dr Jules Michael Vinkman. This is a rebloom scape.

I posted this the other day, but this is a much better picture of Lady Stephanie Victoria Redding X Rosy Spiketail.

This is also on a rebloom scape. This is a cross of a seedling from Nicole DeVito (gifts when visiting her garden on the Mecca tours of 2015) with Purple Peek-a-boo.

That's all for today.

Love all of those toothy daylilies, you have such nice ones that i don't think i have seen before. Great seedlings! They each have something going for them, I think I like the Abilene Lillian seedling best, but in 5 minutes I will change my mind. I guess easier to say the 2nd is my least favorite, but nothing to complain about there either.

Mantis- I have had INNER VISION for many years and it is doing well. Has increased nicely to clump up. I have it on the daylily slope by my driveway so it does not get any pamering. Nancy and Jean- Thanks. I hardly know what are my own favorites anymore as I have so many daylilies. Everything seems to be doing really well this spring. I pulled some of the California poipies out today so that I had my path back. I just couldn't get thru anymore. They had taken up the entire thing. Still plenty left though :-)

Wow, that El Desperado is just covered in blooms! I can't pick a favorite yet again, they are all beauties. Willow Dean Smith is super, I love ENEs. Good to know that it and Purify My Heart are from northern hybridizers (I should google them). Ruffled Strawberry Parfait is very nice, I think you mentioned that before that Reckamps don't multiply well. I remember thinking I wouldn't mind that because the space is so tight ;) Love Regal Finale too, reminds me slightly of Night Beacon with that combination of colors, looks great with recurved petals

Kay, it is about time for it to be wet in your area. I know you have been waiting a long time. Avedon, LATE INTERLUDE and FINIAL FRONTIER are both Hibard intros. Judy, I don't blame you for wanting to see the new blooms. I would be wanting to see them too. Val, those Hibard intros have really done well for me but even FINIAL FRONTIER doesn't have to many buds left.

CTC- The Blue Salvia is INDIGO SPIRES which I plant each spring as it dies each winter here. But I just love INDIGO SPIRES. Nancy, these are all the newer mildew resistant types of phlox and I know I haven't seen any mildew on them yet. Casey, I did post FALL PINK MELLON clump shots before but it just keeps pumping out those blooms. I can't resist them. nat and kay, I don't have any white phlox but have lots of eyed ones. One is really pretty cream with a purple star eye. I do love the new phlox I got this year. Judy, the phlox just keeps blooming forever so I haven't cut it back yet. Celeste, just try to remember to check Olallies website in the spring before things get picked over. As the year progresses more and more daylilies are no longer listed as they sell out for the year. They do need some time to establish but once they are clump size they just bloom like crazy. Debra, the new phlox I think will really look good next year as I mail ordered them this spring and they weren't big plants. One was a local potted buy but of the mail ordered ones, two were potted so not too small. The other three were those bagged dried phlox roots you sometimes see. I had never bought those before and wasn't even sure they would grow at first but they did. Not much bloom but like I said, next year should be really good.

How nice that several of your seedlings are reblooming. The Abiliene Lillian baby is my favorite. How big is the bloom on that one? I love the double colors on the eye and the fact the edge goes all the way around the petals. The Purple Peekaboo seedling appeals to me again too.

Very nice seedling! I agree the Abilene Lillian cross is an eye catcher. Also like the Jewel of Jewels seedling. Do you still have a lot of seedlings to set out?

Debra, the first seedling is not too large--just about 5 inches. It is, however, its first year to bloom and the the bed it is in is really in too much shade. It will be interesting to see it when we move it to a better location.

Kate, we have not yet planted any of this year's seedlings. The weather has been horrendously hot and dry and we are trying something new this year so we had to get that all figured out. We have such a weed problem that we are trying weed barrier this year. We have gotten the bed mapped out, but we need to till it and get busy. There are over 3000 seedlings to plant, plus moving the select seedings into the observation bed. It keeps us busy.

Wolverine is a lovely as well as prolific bloomer. Your seedlings steal the show again. I especially like that Red and white that has Abilene Lillian and Ruby Lipstick in its parentage.

As I recall, last year you had reservations about Wolverine, noting the color was muddy. Regardless, it certainly has performed. The Rosy Spiketail seedling looks quite saturated.
