Blooming on Thursday

There's not much to photograph here. There are a few rebloom scapes and some late bloomers hanging on.

Spacecoast Lemon Whiskers is reblooming. It is such a nice bloom and quite large too.

Stella's Ruffled Fingers doesn't get much respect around here, but it should. It's not the brightest color, but it has been in almost constant bloom since it started. It took about a two week break and sent up four more scapes which are blooming now. Bob hates the name, but he really doesn't hate the flower. I think it would make a nice replacement for all the Stella de Oro that we see everywhere.

A couple of late blooming seedlings looked really nice today.

Butter Pecan X Bass Gibson is the flower I took the picture of with the wheel bug. The flower looks a lot like Buttered Pecan but the scapes are much taller and it blooms later. It is well-budded and vigorous. I think it might be a future introduction. It would make a nice addition to the late garden.

Chomp X Ruffled Strawberry Parfait is another showy late. This one might even qualify for the small-flowered designation. I don't know if it is vigorous enough for introduction, but it will stay in our garden for a while at least.

That's all for me.

Nice rebloom on SC Lemon Whiskers! Everyone who grows Stella's Ruffled Fingers raves about how much it reblooms. But I don't care for the form or the color. Your two late seedlings are pretty.

I always like SC Lemon Whiskers!! Love the color! The seedlings are pretty. The Butter Pecan seedling looks very tall and looks good in clump form.

Brad: I'll have to go on my PC and check photos for SQ. I don't recall but if it was just above the foliage here, I would have stated it in my previous years postings. I'll check though and post back. I tried searching Houzz and all my Photobucket photos are blanked out. Debra: Rose Masterpiece may be just reacclimating to the new soil it has been planted in. I noticed though that Jellyfish Jealousy which is also on that end of the garden bed also came up lighter but like you said, it could be the heat. Yes, lots of movement this year as I'm trying to get things a bit easier for me to maintain and eliminate most of the beds in front and consolidate those plantings into other beds or eliminate. Tough decisions ahead.

Is your image of Ruckus or of a Ruckus seedling , cuz if it is of Ruckus , someone sold you a pig in a poke, that image is not of Ruckus, you have the wrong plant . https://garden.org/plants/view/63416/Daylily-Hemerocallis-Ruckus/ Sorry I see now that the plant in the image has already been determined to not be Ruckus Love Wild and Wonderful . Just adding that one here this season . I love Gollywog ...it has been here a long time . Probably the second year I started collecting daylilies some 12 or 13 years ago .

The seedlings continue to lead the way in bloom. We have several small ufs blooming. I really like this one--Galaxy Explosion X Pixie Dragon. This is a first year bloom. Little Lemon Twist X Off to See the Wizard is also a first year bloom. Since Off to See the Wizard is a full sized (though on the small side) bloom, this might might be bigger once it is mature. Right now it is a small flower. This is Nutmeg Elf X Out of Balance. Many of Bob's fulva hybrids are on the small side, but this one is a large flower. It is (Fulva Yunnan X Cherry Pie a la Mode) X Unknown. This seedling is Cranberry Winter X (Stellar Stitchery X Cherry Pie a la Mode). This seedling is Gryphon Chelsea London X Tet. Rose F. Kennedy. This is Rosie Cotton's Ribbons X Love All Serve All. That's enough for today. Nancy

This is the seedling Queen of the Garden. This is Wolverine X (Happy Holidays to You). It has nice height to the scape. Thisis the type of seedling that puts you in a dilemma. It was moved last season and this year only has about 11 buds. I didn't take stats last year--just too busy. However, I have never seen so many scapes on one plant. So what it lacks in buds, it makes up by the number of scapes. Is it worthy of introduction? Of course, we will give it a couple more years to see how it develops.It is Pumpkin Prince X Gavin Petit) X Small World Fire in the Hole. This flower on this seedling is huge on a short scape. It is Spacecoast Pumpkin Power X Deadliest Catch. This is a small flower. It is my attempt to get a toothy edge on a small tet. It didn't work but it does have a wire gold edge. It is (Little Red Bantam X Heavenly Pink Fang) X (Sea of Cinders X Happy Holidays to You). That's all for me. Nancy

Love both your seedlings! I totally agree about Stella's Riffled Fingers. I rather like the delicate color, i think it is a much nicer color that Stella, blooms much better too. Or normally it does. I divided mine into several clumps last fall, and each only rebloomed once. Normally it stays in bloom almost all through the summer.

My Stellas seldom reblooms but maybe because I dont remove scapes with seed heads ? ? ? ?
