I have had quite a few first blooms of the season this week and some unusual blooms.
This is Mysterious Eyes with mysterious happenings this week. It had first bloom yesterday, a double. Three blooms today, all double. I have had this daylily for about 10 years and it has never doubled…..whats up with this?
First bloom on Free Wheelin today, my hubbie has declared this huge bloom his favorite.
First bloom on Getting Airborne, this is its third season and will be really good, lots of buds.
To Nancy With Love, still getting established.
Get R Done started yesterday.
Solar Blast started yesterday.
Magic Lake is just getting started.
Siloam Double Classic had first bloom today, a new addition to the front of the border…..thought this was supposed to bloom later in the season.
Quazar Cutie was added as a single fan three seasons ago, close to registered scape height at 33” this season. This is most likely what a clump shot will look like for awhile.

First Daylily Bloom; First Clematis Bloom
Comments (12)Judy, you know full well that you are among fellow addicts when it comes to buying plants. And I so love the English roses...just be sure to give them plenty of room. They will need it. Vel, it is a record for me, that is for sure. It was one I got in the fall from Bill Maryott, but no way was able to resist taking pictures of those three together. Thanks Cindy, all of my early clematis are covered in buds. They are hapopy with the strange weather. Rebecca is a true red in my garden...same color as my monitor, and the blooms are large. It is close to my favorite...then I see another one and oh I love that one. You know how it is. Thany you Linda. As I've already said, I love Rebecca! kay...See MoreA Scape, First Clematis and Iris Bloom & Some Lupines
Comments (14)maryl- I wonder if the texas bluebonnets would grow here. They sure are pretty. Kay- My TB iris season has begon. Its great to go out and look for new blooms each day. I have seen the pictures at Schreiners with the Iris and Lupines also and I don't know how they manage. My iris would rot if I tried that! Cundy, I am sure you could squeeze in another Lupine or two. If space is an issue, I have noticed from looking at potted plants side by side the the Russel Lupine plants are generally larger than the Gallery Lupines that I have. nat- I had only mixed sucess with my lupines from last year. So of course I tried again. I think its worth it because they are so pretty. Nancy and Jay, thank you for your kind comments. You all know I love to show pictures of my garden....See MoreSome blooms from this strange daylily season
Comments (14)Thank you so much for your kind words. Most of my plants have been purchased because I saw a beautiful photo of it in this forum and then it became a must have. So I certainly know how you feel, Njmomma. My list of wants used to be as long as yours. Mantis_oh, I think my zone 6 is milder than yours as it is classified as a zone 6b. Some of my Wonder of It All blooms open well and some are stuck and need help opening. I can understand why you like it as it does have a really nice gold edge. Maryl, I love Gentle Shepherd. Eventhough it does not have the "bells and whistles" of the modern daylilies, it certainly has a simple beauty to it. When placed with the darker colors, it really stands out. Debra, I believe it was your photo of Purify my Heart that got me to get this daylily. I can still picture the gorgeous bloom with the blue asters behind it....See MoreBlooms blooms and more blooms!!
Comments (10)S Perfume, G Thomas, Crocus and more ... Unknown ping pong ball sized super smelly one. I really hope some hawk eyed expert can help me ID this one. I'm really intrigued by the bloom quantity and fragrance. Plus it seems to stay small- about 3 ft tall. Unknown ping pong ball sized super smelly one Distant Drum and Pat. Surprised to see them grow so well in what I believe would be 4-5 hr mid day sun. Giant trees in the east and west of the bush Olivia Austin? Queen of Sweden ??? More of giant bloomed MW 12 footer giant Abe. I planted own root this spring in front part of the garden and I am all worried that Abe and GC might eat up my backyard ha ha Unknown Munstead wood. Cannot wait for my tiny own root to produce such huge blooms Unknown Austin. mild citrus fragrance with delicate petals. JTO (easily tennis ball size) JTO Unknown beauty Unknown 12 Feet beauty.
