A hot July 6. Some leftover from the past few days.

My new camera isn't here yet. Still using the phone and not satisfied with the colors.

FEL is having an extra short year and only 1 scape. It is extra sensitive to bad or odd weather conditions.

Brave World clump. too pink

Noid clump. Color is correct.

Priscilla's Rainbow duo. Color is ok

Purple Riot. Color ok It always has mega amounts of branching and blooms, so I crossed it with Sugar Magnolia which sometimes has huge amount of branches and blooms plus huge flowers.

Regal Heir clump. color is off.

Art Gallery Expressionism plus Spiritual Corridor with a Hyperion peaking in.

Scarlet Pimpernel clump. Looks a little too purple.

Smoky Mt. Autumn clump. Oddly enough, the color isn't bad. However bud count was terrible this year.

Seedling of Smoky Mt. Autumn and Jolyene Nichole

Seedling 1 needs a name. It's my favorite [color is off here] and has everything going for it except bud count is too low, so won't get registered.

Seedling 3 [sibling to above] with very poor bud count but pretty.

sister seedlings from Indian Giver x Siloam Amazing Grace.

That's enough for today.

I think my favorites today are Brave New World and the NOID clump. I love the colors of those two! All of the seedlingslook pretty. I think my favorite is the Indian Giver seedling on the right in the last pic.

Galiano, are you looking at the pic above or below my 'unknown beefsteak' comment? The one above is brandywine, but the one below (the unknown) actually has regular leaves, which might not be clear from the pic. Just have them in regular old triple mix. My 'seedlings' were large when planted (if I plant small seedlings, they just don't have enough time to produce a lot of fruit in my short season). I use dilute MG from time to time, some high P initially to help roots, then some high N to get the plants going a bit, then more high P later to promote flowering. I apply a lot less than the directions suggest. Also mulched this year for the first time. Other than that, we have not had a lot of rain so I have been able to control the water, and despite the cool weather there has been a fair bit of sun. However, despite the attractive plants, fruits are still at least 2 to 3 weeks behind where they normally are. Star stuff, the typically relied upon last frost date is around May 24 (which coincides with one of our statutory holiday weekends), but for the last few years the weather has been far too cold to plant on that date. We had frost near the end of May this year, and in the first week of June last year. So, end of the first week of June was when plants went in the ground for me. Won't get frost again until end of Sept. or maybe October, but I have found that fruits that I harvest after the end of August tend to be a bit sub-par in terms of texture and flavour. With ideal conditions I would usually be harvesting great fruit from the middle of July to the end of August, with a few outliers coming early, and plenty of second-rate fruits in sept and into oct. Humidity finally starting to show up now, along with some warmer nights, and a few more months of this should help the fruit grow nice and big. Of course that weather tends to wreak a bit of havoc on the foliage, but thats ok as long as I get to start eating tomatoes soon.

About the NOID purple: Laura - You are right about the bloom shapes not matching on Lounge Lizard and the NOID. The NOID has very round petals, while Lounge Lizard's are longer and more pointed. I know it's not Lord of Rings because I used to grow that one. Nancykvb - The color is similar to Mary's Baby, but the bloom is 6 inches. Julia - The seller was unable to identify it. Asking him was my first course of action. Out of the dozens of times I have received the wrong plant, I've only had one seller who was able to identify a plant by its photo. I always think that's odd. Several times sellers have replied that they don't have anything that looks like the daylily in my photo. So I'm always left wondering if what I got was a stray seedling.

Thank you! This was the second bloom for Voila Francois. The first bloom occurred on a cool rainy day and did not open very well. I have had three or four blooms since then and those have opened well. The blooms seem to open early, as the photo in my post was taken around 6:20 AM. Lori

I really like the lavender noid clump, can’t mis with any shade of purple. Your second seedling is my favorite, nice form. It will be interesting to see how your new camera compares.

Even with colors being off, the clumps are quite impressive-Scarlet Pimpernel clump is huge. Seedlings look good.

Your NOID, Scarlet Pimpernel and Smoky Mt Autumn are my favorite. Nice seedlings. I especially like the one called Seedling 1 - so pretty!

I know what you mean about not being satisfied with colors. The phone I was using last year although convenient got most of them wrong and intensified almost invisible veins and all those sort of things, I can not recognize my flowers when I look at pics ))

You know I always have to give thumbs up to Smoky Mountain Autumn. The color, the ruffles, it's just so nice......... Speaking of......That is some color on Brave World. Sure shouts out to you..........Am I getting the wrong grower? Do you grow Paige's Pinata? I thought it was you. Maybe not...............Maryl

Maryl, yes I do grow Paige's Pinata. I had to move it last year so it is sulking. Only a couple of blooms deep in the plant.

Scarlet Pimpernel, Prismatic Chance Encounter, Art Gallery Expressionism, and Hot Wheels all gave me huge shows almost every day this year. Hot Wheels and Prismatic are done as of yesterday.

Thanks for confirming Paiges Pinata. I wish I could grow so many more daylilies, but I can't so I enjoy seeing certain ones every year just as if they were in my garden. I hope Paige's Pinata puts out at least one bloom you can photograph.............Maryl
