Friday's blooms in KY

3 years ago

Make it Snappy is new this year, and starting with a bang. It actually bloomed yesterday, but I just glanced at it an assumed it was Black Falcon Ritual which is right beside it. Huge flower, I was not expecting it to be quite so dark, but I do like it

Cat's Cradle. It is getting choked by bigger daylilies, guess I need to get that moved

All Fired Up

BAli Watercolor has really short scapes this year, but the petals seem wider and more substantial this year

Black Falcon Ritual

Clown Parade, not so pretty in full sun but gorgeous in person

Dr Jules Michael Vinckman. I do like this one. Hillbilly Heart grows right beside it and this one has a bigger flower and makes HH look all faded out. I will have to move that one too

Exotic Starfish has more veining today

Kansas Kitten

Lotus Position

Sort by:Oldest

The more I see Exotic Starfish, the more I like it. I guess will go on the never ending list of daylilies to add to the garden. I also grew Hillbilly Heart and currently grow Dr. Jules. Dr. Jules is the superior plant and Hillbilly Heart is no longer in my garden. Can't keep everything due to space and time.

Make It Snappy did open with a bang! What a beautiful flower! Lots of pretty ones here-Exotic Starfish looks good, and you are correct about Clown Parade-it does look good in person!! Black Falcon Ritual gave you a nice clump!

Blue blooming trees in WV, KY

If the bloom is similar to wisteria (shaped like a cluster of grapes)they could be locust trees. These are native to Ky and grow all over the place here. They come in lavender and also white. Right now April 24 they are full of bloom but have very few leaves. The trees grow tall but not very big in diameter. You find them in uncleared areas because farmers cut them. They grow fast have large thorns,causing injury to stock and people, and later in the year have long bean like pods. They have a nectar that is very sticky and drips on anything under it. They are also called honey locust. The empress tree does not grow wild here and in my 52 years here I have never seen one anywhere.

Dick, I did not receive it as that one as Freedom's Triumph, but as Enduring Freedom. Which might be a disappointment because I just got Freedom's Triumph this spring. They look very similar. I have a serious tendency to like ruffled edges and I like watermarks so not surprising I end up with lots of similar looking plants. Enduring Freedom has always had lots of blooms, and plenty of pretty blooms, just some can be splotchy. So far most all have been perfect. I had not caught just how similar they are though. Avedon, I got worried that maybe my camera had distorted the color or something on Green Rainbow, so went back out and checked. Other than the photo is taken in shade in the morning and might look a bit darker than in full sun, it is accurate. I meant to take a picture in full sun, but it got so hot and humid out, I forgot all about it. I have always loved Buttermilk Moon, it is often overlooked because of its lack of color. Lori, thank you. Gemini Jack is a great double, I have always enjoyed it, and Rapid Eye Movement really attracts attention.

Here was the star of the garden on Friday: PINEWOOD HOLY SMOKE: I love the clean and crispness of the colors. In the am at 6 shaded at 6 am After work Here is my seedling which will get moved from the seedling bed and planted in better location for observation. BEAUTY IN MOTION clump HEMAN: Thought it did not make it after I really divided it for sales last year. BIG HEARTED MOTHER being back lite by the morning sun. CRYING IN THE WILDERNESS: New last fall. Here it is with some sun and then shaded at 5:00pm. Not very tall (12"). I am hoping for increased height once it gets established. I hope to spend more time in the garden today. I have a couple of visitors coming today to tour the garden. David

Thank you all! I think once I started keeping track of scapes, bloom time, etc, I realized that I have a lot more with what I feel are long bloom times than I realized. Sherry, I have decided I don't care for those really tall ones, so I will be avoiding those. Emerald Starburst is leaning some, blooms are all over the place. We have had some heavy winds though. And at least not on the ground. Mantis, I remember crossing High Water Mark and White Eyes Pink Dragon with Reminds Me of Fireworks. This one has completely lost its tag though. I do try to keep up with pod parents, but moved this from the weeds seedling bed last year. It did not look nearly this good last year, just interesting.

Make It Snappy is gorgeous, and that clump of Black Falcon Ritual is quite impressive. I think Clown Parade looks great in your sun shot. It certainly has multiplied for you! I always like Dr. Jules and Exotic Starfish.

What keeps making me look is how big Make it Snappy is, 9" flower, and it has to be at least that, I need to measure it, cause it seems bigger than Exotic Starfish which was close to it. Maybe just more spread out, really gets attention.

Make it Snappy, Black Falcon Ritual and Clown Parade get my votes this time around.

Does your Bali get many buds? Mine generally doesn't. And the height of mine really varies by year.

Make It Snappy and Black Falcon Ritual would be hard to choose from in my small garden as they are both gorgeous. I guess it would come down to who was the most colorfast in our heat and the most productive. Really nice.............Maryl

Brad, I remember height being an issue occasionally, not too often. Not a high bud count. I went out and counted earlier. For some reason I only have 3 scapes, several fans to the clump. The best one had 9 buds, the other 2 had 7 ea.

Maryl, both have held their color in all day sun, but then it has not been really hot since they started blooming, low 80s.

So good to know that Exotic starfish is a good plant, Kay. I hope mine shows off as well as yours does in time.

I like Dr Jules Michael Vinkman. We grow it too but ours is not doing well this year. Kansas Kitten is also nice. Exotic Starfish is one we are going to have to add.
