Some that I have yet to post this year
t seems like we all say this every year, "It has been a strange bloom season." I thought that it would be late this year and it is generally on time. Certain plants are shorter than in years past. Some did not even bother to put up a scape. Very dry, so some blooms are smaller, while others are larger. Some scapes look like telephone poles, while others are well branched, etc....
ALL THINGS TO ALL MEN: The first four blooms were all splotchy, but ever since then, they have looked like this.
HONEY ON MY LIPS: A late bloomer. Well branched with many buds.
TAKE MY BREATH AWAY: I have been thinking about getting rid of this one over the past several years, due to performance issues. The blooms have not looked this good like they have this year.
May have gotten a stay of execution.
VICTORIA GRACE: I thought I got rid of this one. I am glad I still have it. The colors really pop in the garden.
HAREM HOUSE: An older Moldovan. I like this bitone
MASK AND METAPHOR: AN interesting looking Hanson bicolor.
LINGERING SPLENDOR: An older Hanson. Substance is like cardboard.
WOMEN SEEKING MEN: A large plant and has wonderful branching.

3 years agoThis will be another try to submit some other pictures:
Careless Dream: a nice large flat bloom. 7 Inches in a bed that does not receive any additional water than what Mother Nature has supplied - which is not much.
PASSING FANCY: I've only been growing this one since the fall of 2017. I am starting to like it.
IRON WARRIOR: I've only had this one since the Spring of 2018
Seedlings in the commentsdaylilybedmaker
3 years agoSeedling out of RED HOT CHILI QUACKERS - I do like the bloom on this one. I will move it out of the seedling bed to another location to see what happens with the scape. The petals are 2.75 inches wide.
Another seedling that I don't know the cross.
Woodside Lustre: A nice rich red.
That is all.
Thanks for looking.

Have you unwrapped your bananas yet? (post pics please)
Comments (1)Yes, we have no bananas. I may pull off another layer of mulch early next week and get the opportunity to see any signs of life....See MoreYet another ugly '70s house post. I'm in dire need of advice.
Comments (8)It is fantastic! I can see why you love the lot. I don't have photoshop but I'm sure you can find someone to take a photo of the house and play around with color & adding texture. I wouldn't try too hard to mask the 70s style -- just update it with more modern colors and textures. I find the lines make the house!!...See MoreSTILL BLOOMING IN UPSTATE NY
Comments (5)It's a shame about All Things To All Men being splotchy and finicky about blooming. I really like the color. In my experience Splotchiness usually stays with the plant year after year. I'm thinking on a susceptible daylily it's the time of year it blooms that might account for some of it.. If Thrips are the culprit, then they come out in waves at different times during the year, and if yours consistently blooms during that same time you may have a problem every year. Of course Thrips don't read the train schedule so to speak, so some years you might just get lucky.......... I was glad to see Yada Yada Yellow. I've been tempted by it because it's such a late yellow. Davisson says it's her latest in her garden. If it was the rounded form I'd probably have gotten it by now, as it is I'll keep it on my list and see what others think about it ............Maryl...See MoreUgh !!

Comments (17)Suebelle, The file suggestion is good. I noticed when starting a post if I include the pics in the first post, it isn't always going smoothly so I normally start the post with text then post the pics in the next posts. I used Chrome browser on a computer, and they have a max limit of posting 10 pics per post. Here are my tests (11/5/2019 @ 9:35 PDT): Each pic is < 1 MB - Posted 5 pics with total size: 4.1 MB: no problem. - Posted 10 pics with total size: 10.4 MB: no problem. MB: megabyte Some other websites or apps use some types of image compression programs, and that is why when you upload your images you don't need to resize them. I'm not sure if Houzz uses this type of compression program or not. If they do, it hasn't been working correctly for users. Until they figure it out, just resize your images to less than 1 MB/each. Sometimes, even with small file sizes, Houzz has some problems with their servers, so just wait and try it later. Good luck. Helen...See MoreNancy 6b
