Fridays Blooms 7/10
It was a more typical day in the Southern Tier of NY - Hot and overcast. We received a little rain from the tropical storm which made landfall in NJ.
Here is a seedling out of LINDA SIERRA. I like it. The edge is more pronounced than LS.
CIRCUS PERFORMER: A Petit that hangs in there. It is slow on the increase.
ENCHANTING ESMERLDA: One of the parents of the red seedling that I am thinking about registering.
HANDWRITING ON THE WALL:
ELECTRIC MIST: Not a rapid increaser and bud count is low. I love the green throat. It may be on its way out.
INDIAN GIVER: A great little plant.
CAROLINA COOL DOWN: I've only had it for two years. I am liking it more and more.
INQUIRE WITHIN: I love the subtle eye. This one does benefit from afternoon shade as it doesn't have the best substance.
EYE ON AMERICA: I had written this one off years ago. Another one that I thought I had gotten rid of, due to lack of performance. It bloomed several years later. I moved it to a horrible spot my standards thinking if it dies, oh well. This is the best it has ever looked and it has reached its registered height. Never did in the "good" spot.
Hopefully HOUZZ will cooperate with more in the comments.

FLYING DOWN TO RIO: This is one tall scape. It is vigorous and gets your attention.
Vertical Horizon: This is a good plant and good plant to hybridize with. One of my seedlings is in the background.

Comments (12)Karen, that's the first blooms I've had in several years with gazania. The rabbits go crazy for it. Now if I could plant a bed of just gazania and the rabbits would stay there, I'd be happy to grow them for them. There a couple more buds in there on different plants so will have to see what other blooms I get. The purple one is different isn't it? Leisa, I have sporadic luck with snapdragons. Never have problems with just the regular dwarf ones, but fancy name ones give me a problem. those are bicolor kim from thompson and Morgan. had tons of seeds but only got about 10 plants out of them. All I do is sprinkle the seeds on the top of the moist soil in the container and put them out in March. I never cover the seeds with soil. Paula, my monkey flower seedlings went into 8 inch pots. The monkey magic is a real dwarf one, only about 6-8 inches tall and I have it in part sun. I've found that full sun is too much for them. Some varieties prefer shade, some sun and some do better in part sun. I have the monkey magic and a taller all yellow one that I also keep in part shade in pots. I never put them in the ground. Lynne, the monkey flower seeds are al but dust size. I'm hoping to have enough for trades in the fall. e-mail me in the fall to ask me if I got lucky and have enough for even a small trade. I love the cosmos daydream, been growing it for years and it always blooms the same, just like my pic. Hey Drippy, miss you up here, how's the weather doing down southern way? Do you like all the heat and humidity? Alberta, thanks, haven't seen you posting for a while. Will post a few new pics later tonight. Fran...See MoreWhats blooming 7/8/10
Comments (9)So, so pretty. I love the irish eyes too. Want a ton of reseeding alyssum - you need to plant the white kind! It reseds like crazy and I just leave it filling spaces (and keeping out weeds) until I have something to plant in the space. Then I have no problem yanking it out as I have so much of it. The "other then whites" for me are pretty (especially Royal carpet in the early spring) but not as lush and spreading. Your pictures are wonderful, always. Must be a combination of your talents and that wonderful clear Maine light. Sure is gorgeous up there. We use to camp along the coast every summer until the kids insisted we must go somewhere the ocean temps are a bit warmer for swimming! Sissies - I loved it. Nancy...See MoreDaylilies 6/7/10 10 pics
