Back to Sweltering Heat, Lates and Rebloom

5 years ago

The past two days temps have been back in the sweltering 90s. There are still a few lates blooming, and more with rebloom.

Black Panther started reblooming today. It's only been a week since the last bloom on the original scapes.

As you can see, Final Touch still has several buds. These two scapes are still bud building. One has 19 buds and the other, 22. It's bumped Boundless Beauty out of fourth place on the Bud King hit parade.

August Cherry seldom makes it to August. But it did this year. It has one more bud to go.

The next ones are reblooms.

Promises Kept

Cobalt Rings has lost the inner light ring now that it's sweltering hot again.

Skater

My Mama Thinks I'm a Star

Lovely Pink Lady

And the very late blooming Last Chance for Romance

Here's the last Everything You Desire from a couple of days ago when it was cool. For some reason it looked almost like a true red on this last day of bloom.

Sweltering Heat

We are still having our heat wave out here in So.Ca. Luckily, I am at a higher elevation so we don't get the 100 deg. temps. But these 90s are a bit earlier this year. We usually get a week or two of them in August and then back down to the 80s. I'm one who really dislikes A/C and loves to be outside. I am so ready for fall! dianne47, my brother lives in Gilbert and tells me every summer about the temps there. I think I'd be moving, too. No, I KNOW I would be. lol! And you are so right about those urban heat islands. Most of So.Ca. has turned into one, as well. I really miss the So.Ca. I grew up in but no use whining about it because it's not going to revert back without some major act from mom nature. ; ) So I'll just stay up here on the mountain, surrounded by decomposed granite and pinon pines. Smells a lot nicer after it rains, too. Good luck on your home sale and I hope you get out of there soon! Diana

Blooms on a sweltering Sunday

Mantis, the hybridizer of Wandering Werribee lists its height at 31 inches. We just got it last weekend, so I don't know how it will perform for us. Our seedling has had a rough time this season. We split the clump last September, and then it was affected by frost this spring. Some of the scapes were short and some were tall. Some blooms early in the season were single, something we had not observed before. This is the first time we have seen rebloom. I was hoping for rebloom since the pod parent, Triple Cherries, has always been a reliable rebloomer for us. The flower is about 5 inches across, I would guess. We have not compiled any stats on it yet.

Maryl, I totally agree about Cradle of Bethlehem! Of course it is facing west so gets the full impact of afternoon sun. This is about the usual blooming time for Pink Jeans in my garden. It lives next door to Bold Symphony and Bold Symphony had its last bloom today. Kay, like you, I will probably post once or twice more-if something special pops up. They have been spectacular this year but with the heat and humidity it becomes less pleasant to be in the garden. Debra, Shores of Time and Indian Ripples are both in the same shaded bed. I don’t know if that has anything to do with their bloom habit. Ellies Late Show is apparently well named except I have a hard time getting past the lack of apostrophe in the name!! It is new this year. Julia, Reindeer Antlers has such a rich color and F. Garrett Mason has bloomed so well this year. Spot showed up here about two years ago. She has been such a good garden kitty although still retains some feral instincts (despite a vet ”visit”) and may leave for a day or two. She is a great huntress and has brought lots of vole presents to my door. My golf cart is truly outfitted for the garden and the first time she rode in it she came flying across the yard and made a giant leap onto the seat scaring me to death! Since that time any time she hears or sees me backing it out of the garage she sprints for her seat. On that occasion I guess she wanted more wind in her hair!

Lovely pics as always.Skater looks really interesting with the tone on tone color. I noticed on the last photo you have pods. Are you hybridizing? I've been snapping them off here because I don't want any more seedlings.

Julia - I'm always hybridizing. I want more seedlings. I just don't have much room to plant them. I've crossed Everything You Desire with Betty Bush and the former Valentine Sweetheart. Most of the daylilies I've bought in the past five years were with hybridizing in mind.

I like Everything you desire in that red, but it is reminding me of another daylil y, just can't think of the name. Love Skater! The color, the eye, the teeth, it is really calling to me. So many of my late bloomers are orange or yellow, my least favorite colors, so trying to add others. Final Frontier is the only one I have that is still blooming on its original blooms. Take that back, Party Pinnafore still has a couple of blooms. It has been on its last couple of blooms for 2 weeks I think, they bloom, and lo and behold, there a couple more.

Nancy - It sounds like Party Pinafore is bud building.

Very nice collection of blooms. I like the look of Black Panther. Last Chance for Romance and Everything You Desire also grab my attention. Skater is my top favorite from this group.

They re beautiful blooms, Debra. Today I am really liking My Mama Thinks I'm a Star and Skater. You've had a lovely season this year. Black Panther has preformed really well, hasn't it?

I think Party Pinafore was bud building, Debra, but it is finished now. It is not listed as a bud builder, but i know it was on its last 2-3 buds for a long time. It bloomed right at 2 months, supposed to have 16-20 buds but most of the scapes had 25 or more. Really good year for it, I hope that does not mean it won't bloom next year.

I like Last Chance For Romance. I rather like the white star down the petals too..........Promises Kept has the tight edges and form I like. Very feminine in the pale pink color.......... August Cherry always looks good in your garden...........Maryl

Haven’t been on the web for a few days, glad I stopped to look today! Promises Kept and Skater are my favorites. I’m in a pink mood today. True pink daylilies are usually my favorite.

No one's saying anything about Cobalt Rings; it's a toss-up with me between it and Skater. How are those two as pod and pollen parents?

Alex - Neither of those has been a good pod parent for me this season, but the pollen from both has set several pods.
