Flowers from Tuesday and Wednesday

4 years ago

Here is the ffo on High Water Mark. It's blooming on Laura's Michigan time.

Carolina Pale Face is especially pretty on rebloom. The flowers are larger, and the scapes taller.

I know I've shown this seedling before, but It's always so pretty and begs to be photographed.

August Frost x Winter's Angel - I think it will be a late bloomer like August Frost.

Dance Again is still dancing. It's never lived up to it's name with rebloom. With all the rain, maybe it will this year.

Men in Black is almost finished reblooming.

Lady Betty Fretz, another good Petit reblooming

Unity Consciousness and Sun Temple Spirit

This is today's last flower on the original scapes of Seminole Wind. This old Stamile daylily started blooming on May 27, so the clump bloomed for 7.5 weeks. It likely will be my longest bloomer.

I thought August Frost had dethroned Mississippi Magistrate as bud king, but MM either did some bud building or had some very small buds on the side I didn't see. Now it has 29 buds, and it will be blooming for another week or so.

Mantis, I will have to get back to you on Good Impressions rebloom. I know it doesn't rebloom anywhere the way Happy Returns does. Julia, I have wondered if our orange double NOID was Peach Magnolia, but the scape height has never achieved 32" as listed by AHS nor have any of the flowers been 5.5 inches. It is a dormant diploid, but I would say the bloom season for us is early, not MLA. The thing is, growing conditions from place to place can vary greatly, so anything is possible. I would love to be able to definitely name it, but probably won't happen. Glad everybody likes E. Esmerelda, sure wish the color had come out the way it looks here, which I would describe as Raspberry Red, really striking. I appreciate all your comments and interest. Avedon

I think that last not fancy daylily is really pretty. And with 40 buds its certainly a winner. At least in my book, it is! I like your first group shot with the dark then the light and then the darker colors all in a row. It's a tie for favorite for me between JORDAN VERHEART and ASIAN EMASSARY. They are both such stunners I couldn't choose between them. All the other blooms are pretty too.

njmomma:I have a Canon EF Lens EF70-300 F4-5.6 IS USM lens on the Canon Rebel. Easier for me to use this lens when photographing the blooms since I don't have to get too close to the blooms, ie step in the bed to get a good closeup shot. It is set on auto focus and all I need to do is adjust the distance, ie 70 through 300, for closeups. Heavier camera now with this lens on. I love our Canon Rebel. The simpler to do pics the better for me. ;-). I also use a Canon SD800 Powershot IS. Small, easy to handle but I think the zoom is nothing special and I prefer the bigger lens on the Canon Rebel.

Wow, your Mokan Butterfly has way darker of an eye than mine ever did! Beautiful! I should have given it some more time! Too bad about Pirate King is right! If it would get it's act together, it would be beautiful! Please keep us up to date on what you find out thru your research. I just love the colors of Light Of The World, that color pink just pops!

Jen - Carolina Pale Face has a fantastic face, but it's been slow to get established here.

Heather - Mississippi Magistrate is a nice one. I grew it for several years in a pot before it died one winter. I finally reacquired it and planted it in a sheltered space. It's a slow multiplier, but at least it survived below zero temps where I have it now.

Your August Frost seedling is very nice. This photo seems to show more ruffling. I always like the photos of Mississippi Magistrate and to have that bud count as well!

High Water Mark is my favorite registered today. I do love your white seedling, haven’t gotten tired of seeing it! I’m guessing HWM is blooming later than expected, would be nice as a late, LOL. Some of my established daylilies never knew when they were supposed to bloom, made their own schedule here.

Kate - The petals on the white seedling always show ruffling, but even the sepals were ruffling a little today. In cooler temps, the gold on the edge is minimal.

Sherry - High Water Mark is a midseason bloomer, so I'll probably never see it blooming this late int the future.

Heather, Kate, Kay and Sherry - Thanks for not being tired of the white seedling. It was my favorite bloom today.

My favorites are your white seedling and Carolina Pale Face. I'm glad you got to see HWM bloom this year! Mine just had its FFO the other day, looks like I forgot to note it in my spreadsheet, oops! Too much going on.

Shoot, I should have gotten High Water Mark from Laura like everyone else apparently did. I almost did, hesitated, then didn't. Oh well....someday. The other one I like a lot is your white seedling. Very pristine.

Laura - If your HWM just had it's ffo the other day, then this one is blooming on Michigan time.

Celeste - Laura had too many good ones on her sale. There were at least a dozen I wanted, but I narrowed it down to five.
