BUD BENNETT BLOOMS ON WEDNESDAY
There were several Bud Bennett intros open today so I decided to have a separate post for them. Several are some of my favorites.
WILD CHERRY WINE: One of my favorites. On my phone it is definitely more pink.
SWEET TART: The sun is coming up and is behind the bloom.
BIG HEARTED LADY: I am starting to really like this one. The color is great. This was taken in the back bed so it is still a little shaded. The previous two are in my front bed and get the morning sun.
KISSING BRIDE: New to me. I was able to acquire it in the fall.
TORRID DANCER: Another front bed plant
BOLD SYMPHONY: Also a front bed plant.
SITTING COOL: One of my very favorites. This photo was taken at 8 pm after 95 degree heat and being in the sun all day. I just love it.
That is all for this posting. I will post other under a different name.
David

Comments (15)Kay, you may have been my enabler on Wild Cherry Wine. I'm glad to hear he hybridized strong healthy plants because the 3 small fans of WCW I received left me wondering if the vigor on Wild Cherry Wine was less then I had hoped for..... I have 2 small fans in a 6 inch pot and 1 smaller single fan in a 4" pot. With that in mind Ed it may take years before I will even have to divide this variety unless it really surprises me with a growth spurt. It's a shame his plants are so hard to come by as they really look like nice ones.....Maryl...See MoreBud Bennett intros and others
Comments (4)Those Bennett colors are very intense. I can see that Runaway Romance is a parent of Wild Cherry Wine. You should post an image of Torrid Dancer in the database. I had never seen that one before. Ruby Storm seems to do well in the North, as one would expect from a dormant. Linda Sierra is a fave of mine; blooms on scapes over 30 inches....See MoreA Bevey of Bud Bennett Daylilies
Comments (26)I love the few Bennetts I have. David, Fast Pleasure is just stunning! I love that one. I like Bo Knows and Blues in the Night. Of course Salty Skipper is always a favorite although mine was down a bit in blooming this year. I divided Wild Cherry wine last year and it hasn't quite recovered yet, but it will, I am sure. It is a beautiful bloom always. And the Beauty with Motion which I got from you ia a winner too with the large flat blooms. Runway romance is a pretty thing, and Lucky Debut and Fashionnaire are beauties. Of course I like all of them. what a lovely post, David. Thank you. kay...See More
