Here is today’s clump shot of Autumn Minaret. I thought you might like to see how big it gets here, needless to say it never get deadheaded. That’s a Little Lamb Hydrangea in front of it.
Orchid Corsage is still pumping out the blooms
A perfect Laura Harwood bloom, no canoeing. I’m guessing about 80% of its blooms are canoeing this season, I’ll live with it.

Comments (10)Brad - pretty sure all of the established plants are diploids, as they were the seed parents for the seedlings I have been posting pics of in their 2nd year.

I have made crosses this year already which appear to have taken - yay! And I just this week ordered a couple of new diploids (plus I may be getting some from another source as well), so I'll be able to "play" a bit next year. Though I don't think I'll be planting any 1500 seedlings next season - at least I hope not as I wouldn't have a clue where I would put them! LOL Alex...See MoreLate bloomer clumps
Comments (12)I was just thinking about a tall late yellow for one of my rare in ground spots (most of my daylilies being in pots), so this post is timely. I like the Autumn Minaret, although July is hardly autumn here, I don't think I've ever heard of a daylily that blooms profusely in late September early October. Wish they would come up with one.... I like Autumn Ruby too and Pizza Crust has a nice form with a cute name. Laura Harwood was a flop in my garden, but it's nice to see it do so well in other people's gardens.............Maryl...See More
