Seedlings Winning the Rebloom Contest in August
I am having a bit of rebloom still from registered cultivars, but my seedlings are showing the most bloom right now. Besides the ones below, I have two more seedlings with rebloom scapes that will bloom in Sept. Since the weekend rain, scapes also have pushed up on Ice Cream Emperor, Memphis, and Mystical Intuition.
Seedling Into the Mystic X Symphony of Praise started reblooming on a seventh rebloom scape this week. This is the only one I'm registering for introduction in 2021. It has a 5.5 inch bloom on 26 inch scapes, and it's evergreen. Bud counts range from 11-28. This one will have Coco in the name for one of my Gypsy cats.. Kay and Kate received this as a seedling last fall. Sherry will be trialing it in the North for me this winter and next season.
TUS x RE1 is still reblooming.
So is AP X Blazing Saddles.
August Frost x Winter's Angel had its last bloom yesterday. It ended up having 47 buds on its one scape. It started blooming on June 23, so that makes two months of bloom for this one. It's gone from one fan in the Spring to five fans now, and three of the new fans are pretty large. I keep hoping some of those fans will scape for fall bloom.
Tides Roll In had its last bloom yesterday.
Blood of the Martyrs is still reblooming and has another scape that will start by the end of the week.
Warm in Winter is still going.
I have two lates that are still blooming:
Tiffany Shade
and Last Chance for Romance
This is the first of my overwintered mums to rebloom. I have two red ones that won't start blooming until September. My two yellow ones bit the dust with the late freezes in the Spring.

Comments (20)Avedon - In general, the farther south the Reckamps are grown, the slower they multiply. The are hard dormants that need a long period of cold to build a large crown and multiply. My Techny Peace stayed three fans for four years, but it always bloomed multiflora so I didn't mind. Casey and Nat - The seedling looks better in the evening than in the early morning because it's finally open flat. I'm pleased it holds its color in such heat.

Comments (24)Irish Luck and Kiwi Full Monty are both listed as Mediums. But as you can tell from Don Rawson's photo of Irish Luck, it is a very vigorous medium! And, Kiwi Full Monty is also a medium, and it is vigorous too. Therefore, I do not know what to tell you about locating KFM. Someone else who planted Striptease near their walkway had to relocate them because they outgrew the location, overwhelming the path. I think that thread is running around on the back pages of our forum somewhere. My plants in pots are easily adjusted to their growth and also easily hidden when they look ragged. I can move out to prominent spots the top performers. In that respect, I am lucky. But, eventually, if things do not go right, the lump under the rug where I sweep my mistakes gets to be mountain-TALL. :) Do you have ideas where it will go? Fill the bed as you intended and wait for KFM to make its move. Either it likes where you put it and grows like a demon, or it pouts and you move it. Personally, it has grown nicely for me with never a time it did not look good. I'm very pleased with all my Striptease family. Another one, as you can see in the family photo I posted above, that grows similar to KFM with that loose open look, is Yellow Polka Dot Bikini. Whether the two remain similar in form as they grow, only time will tell for me....Maybe I can cheat by checking photos of mature plants, eh....(only problem being, no mature YPDB is in the library photos)....See MoreClematis vs. Rose: The epic battle
Comments (38)Wow, Jackie - that's exactly the sort of pairing of clematis I was picturing in my gardens, particularly the Graham Thomas and purple clematis. That combination is to die for, and the rose and clematis are happily (and gorgeously) supporting each other. I can only dream of Graham Thomas getting that big and lush in my zone, even though Austins typically like my climate. Mine has never cleared 3 feet tall in 4 years, and even wimpy clematis like Nelly Moser would mow him down in a minute. It's good to hear the contrast of clematis being borderline in places like CA (not that I would wish it on you, but it's good to know). I thought tulips and once-blooming OGRs were the only flowers that didn't like California. Who woulda thunk it? Although frankly, your clematis look very happy just not thuggish. Harry, that is a terrific shot of the evolution of clematis-rose detente, and jaw-dropping wonderful clematis to boot. I hope Betty Corning was given new life in another spot, since she is breathtaking in her lush profusion. Ditto for Westerland, since I can only dream of my Westerland looking that terrific in the spot I have it. I'm glad to see you label Venosa Violacea, since I'm pretty sure that's the clematis I have creeping up on my hammock, but it barely reaches 6-8 feet so far and doesn't have that amazing explosion of color yet. Clearly it needs more sun and territory to conquer - I love the white star effect in the center. Beautiful pictures and fun observations everyone! Cynthia...See MoreBrandy Boy Contest -2015 (2)
Comments (151)Antmary - 10 flowers - that is impressive - that is what I would expect from my experience with Brandy Boy - you should have a prolific plant! Interesting observation about the leaves! I noticed Yolo's plant leaves are more similar to your plant (nice tomato Yolo!). I went back and looked at our plants when they were even younger than yours - and the leaves are very large. It must be a function of my soil and fertilizer? Which plant will produce bigger/better tomatoes? Perhaps your plant - as much of my plant's energy appears to be going to the leaves? It may not be a function of pruning as the photo shows my plant before I prune suckers? It may be a GH affect? I am sure Carolyn would have an answer !...See More
