Before I start to show some new ones, I have to show Jazz Me Blues (a Bennett intro). I had posted a picture of it earlier and noted a pattern beginning to to show in the throat. Today, there was a different pattern.

Very excited to see this. I have never seen this with this plant in all the years I have grown it. I will be curious to see what the next few days bring.

WOODSIDE ROMANCE: All the blooms were polytepals

VIRGINIA PECK: The first plant I won at a club auction 25 years ago.

More Bennett intros

Passing Fancy: Somewhat new. It has great plant habit with three way branching.

JUBILEE BALL: One of my favorites.

POLAR FIZZ:

SALTY SKIPPER: I know Mantis likes this one. I am beginning to come around with liking it more and more.

Tainted Love: One of the few nonpinks and nonwhites that he introduced. Not the best picture as the blooms were crowding each other, but it is a good one.

Bravo! I have just looked at your 3 posts from Friday and I love all of them. I am trying to catch up on everyone's posts but am so busy trying to get all my yard work done and still hurting from the dog bites, but when I take a break I come here to the forum. You have some very pretty blooms!! I won't even try to pick favorites out of all those I saw, there are just too many lovely ones. I know you are missing Ms. Blackie, though...and I still think of her too. My thoughts are with you, Jean. Celeste

Crackingtheconcrete; I have seen these new type putunias at wal mart and also Home Depot, too,maybe yo can find some there? Triplecreek;Kansas Kitten is fairly new to me, from last year.So far,it has not had a real lot of buds, but,I think it will improve.Its not a big plant.Course, with my soil,I give it awhile and if it dont increase size, fans and buds,I will dig it back up and pot it. Ellie.Yes, my photo is pretty accurate,The bloom might be just a tad darker then my picture, but farely accurate. I love this one/Love Purples. Kay, I like these petunia's too.I just had to have a pot of them when I seen them as I had never seen any like them,and now they have different colors in them too, But,I like this blue. Hi Rita,I see I really botched up the spelling on Frankly Scarlet but, you figured it out just fine. I love the red blooms too, Red and Purple are my favorite colors. Today, PURPLE MOUND bloomed and I love that purple bloom.It has just one bloom today, but a few more buds... Jean

Mantis, I haven't had a lot of blooms yet, I think the color has deepened a bit, but not changed the basic color. I really like the way the pattern is developing. Debra, I'm getting more attached to Billy the Kid all the time, I'm sure you will like it. Jean, I hope your Caribbean Eye spy shows up, really a good daylily. Thanks Sara. I agree, Web of Intrigue is a bit shorter than I was expecting, I will need to move mine too. I just happened to plop it between 2 really tall daylilies. I should investigate more before I plant, but doesn't really do me much good. Plants don't always do what they are supposed to in my garden, short ones grow taller & tall ones grow shorter. Thanks Maryl! And ruthz, I was surprised to see how different Web of Intrigue looked, both pretty but very different. Laura, I love Crazy Ivan, I knew I had always liked the photos of it, but it is so much better in person. Thank you so much! Julia, Caribbean Eye Spy has been such a great daylily. Not necessarily heavily budded, but it usually reblooms a couple of times, & 3 years in a row it was reblooming in October. Hasn't done that the last couple of years, but it is such a pleasure to have a daylily blooming in October that I remember it.

SHIRLEY'S RED DRAGON: Purchased it off the LA last Fall. This is its first bloom.

NEW COVENANT: I am really liking this one and the color. The color is that vibrant in real life.

SMOKEY MOUNTAIN AUTUMN: Looking really good this morning.

PINK TARANTULA: Still in a pot. It will have a home in the ground come August/September. I love it and I nothing like it in the garden.

There are more to post, but it is late and I am tired.

Thanks for looking.

What a good picture of the UF Pink Tarantula. I find the Picture of the shape and symmetry of this bloom unusually attractive to my non UF taste. Good job on the pic..............Bennett pinks are always top notch in the color department. Out of curiosity, when did he die? That pattern on Jazz Me Blues looks very "now"..........I am always happy to see Smokey Mountain Autumn. It's one I grew many years ago and remember fondly..... And I also like Bennetts non pink, Tainted Love. Do the blooms typically crowd each other out?...................Maryl

Maryl,

I have Kay to thank for the PINK TARANTULA. She posted many pictures of it, that it appealed to my UFO/spidery taste. I'd like to think that I don't grow many spidery types, but they are increasing in their presense in the garden.

Mr. Bennett passed away on April 21, 2015.

Jazz Me Blues has never shown this pattern before. My best guess is that it comes from the LAVENDER BLUE BABY side of things. I see LBB in the background of several patterned plants. The other parent, KIWI MAGIC, has not passed on that pattern from what I can see.

TAINTED LOVE has multiple scapes blooming, so the blooms in the picture are from 3 separate scapes.

What a nice pattern on Jazz Me Blues! What size is the bloom on that one, and is it a dip? I like Pink Tarantula, Passing Fancy and Jubilee Ball.

Jazz Me Blues is so pretty. Passing Fancy looks good. Smoky Mountain Autumn stuns when it looks like that.
