Several More Plants Blooming Now

2 years ago

The plants are gradually beginning to bloom although we have had so much rain and it is quite cool for May which I think may have slowed it down for a bit.

Bill Watson is usually pretty early

Space Coast Eye for Passion

New Paradigm

Parrot Island

There were also some doubles and the like

Firecracker Parade:

Tevareus Multicolor

And Patricia Snider Memorial was in better form

Fernstone is still blooming away

And Texas Carnival Dance

Kay, your blooms always look so wonderful to me. Of course, you do have advantage. After a long winter, my daylily deprived brain is craving daylilies, LOL, but these look really nice. You New Paradigm always attracts me. It reminds me a bit of Terry Lyninger, which I have and it has a couple scapes itself. I like Parrot Island too

Yes, you can move it now. Keep as much rootball as possible and keep it moist. Wouldn't hurt to cut it back. The President and Multi Blue are both fairly easy to find blue purple varieties that are pruning group 2 like Fireworks. Niobe should look good with Fireworks too if I am seeing a red bar on it correctly. Online photos are so deceiving.

2 plants blooming for 40-51 days, now washed out flowers?

I've had that too with some of mine. Especially Taratahi Glo. It starts blood red, with a bit of yellow; then washes to more of an orange. This year, it started late; and started with the orange flowers. I believe it is weather related. I think some dahlias thrive on warmer temps and more sunlight. When mid August, september roll around, my neighbors giant Maple starts to shade my yard for most of the day. That seems to dampen the color on some dahlias. Just my theory anyway...

Yes to both questions on SS, Julia. It has been such an odd year. Some plants are normal, some bloom in the foliage that don't usually...lots of rebloom, but some that usually re-bloom haven't. And some that have never re-bloomed have put up re-loom scapes. Oters, like Blueberry Breakfast are growing normally. kay

Should I plant these big bloom Peonies now?
Q
Comments (2)
Most spring planted bare root peonies won't bloom 1st spring regardless of when they're planted. Most spring blooming perennials perform better when planted in their dormant period which is generally fall. The only way I wouldn't plant them right away is if they were potted and ready to bloom--at that point I'd wait until after the flowers were done because transplanting earlier would sacrifice those--but that's the only reason. Maifleur is right, it's best to get them in the ground. This late in the spring you'll possibly see some stem growth, try to keep those stems above ground but only if you can do it without exposing any of the roots. If you're planted bagged roots from one of the big box stores you should probably take a look at them, they could be fairly dry. If so, just soak them in water for an hour or so before planting to give them a good start. Don't worry if you see little or no growth this spring, I've had that happen before as well, most times they'll wait a year to put out any substantial growth. Unless the root is big enough to have 3-5 eyes on the crown and a substantial feeder root(s) it will probably take a few years to bloom.

Kay, your New Paradigm looks great. Ours never had that rich color in the eye. Nancy, New Paradigm is an offspring of the tet version of Terry Lyninger. I also like Spacecoast Eye for Passion. Thanks for sharing your photos. Bob found a third daylily with a scape, but it too is a species hybrid. I can't wait for the fancy ones to start.

Thank y'all for looking and commenting. Nancy and Nancy. This is my second New Paradigm. I always liked it and originally had it in a bad place and it died. I replaced it and made sure it was in a better spot. so far it does well. nancy, I moved S.C. Eye for Passion the year before last and it did very little last year, but it looks good now. It can't be long before more blooms are blooming in your gardens too. Brad, I am glad you enjoyed the blooms.

They are beginning to pop out, aren't they? These are so pretty. I like the Spacecoast Eye for Passion with that delicate edge. I agree your New Paradigm always is more vivid than mine. Mine always looks so washed out I almost gave it away a couple of years ago-then last year it looked much like yours-the best it has ever looked. It is a couple of days away from blooming so we will see if that color holds up this year! All this rain has made the foliage grow so tall I hope I will be able to see the lilies when they bloom!

Thanks Kate and Julia. each day there are a couple more adding their blooms now. It will soon warm up again and that will probably set them off.

Thank you Maryl and Sherry. I have had several more to bloom plus repeats so the season is gradually starting. This unusual cool spell is over tomorrow and that will just speed up the blooms.

You've got lots blooming now, and with this week's heat, they'll just keep getting prettier. I think my favorite is Spacecoast Eye for Passion.
