Rainbow Dragon on rebloom

last year

Doing and excellent job with rebloom. Initial scapes had avg of 25 buds, this has even better branching and bud counts of 32 on newest fan and 35 on more mature fans. Houzz still will not let me add pictures on initial post, so on we go.

Not a very good backdrop for it against my deck. I think the earlier blooms had a bit more color.

Hakuna Matata and Isabelle Rose have bud counts similar in mid 30s. That is much less than last year's counts where Hakuna M had top 3 counts of 55, 49 and 46. Isabelle had one with 48, others were just in upper 20s though, so probably averages out better. Nice to have such good bloom now. I hope the plant does not tire itself out.

That one is Rainbow Maker - not Rainbow Dragon. I'm glad it's doing well for you. It sure has mine beat. This season mine only had bud counts in the teens, and the rebloom scapes only have 8 or 9 buds.

If they have no leaves and it is hot, it would help to give them some shade for the heat of the day, not super pretty but a plastic chair over the plant is an easy way. There are some home mixes that are probably fine on your roses, but if you find one you want to try, ask here first. Usually some one has already tired it and either knows it works or it doesn't. There are a lot of "organic" mixes posted out there but people often leave out big details on usage and side effects on different plants and how they effect the long term overall health of your garden. Seems like many of the rose issues we have on my coast could be helped with a spray of water no need for other additives :)

How often do re-bloomers really re-bloom?
Q

Rainbow, I start with 10-52-10 around the first to middle of June. If I remember to do it I fertilize about every two weeks until the first of November or until hard freeze. This may not work and will not be needed if you have rich soil. The soil in NE Mississippi on the hills is not rich at all. If there is not plenty of rainfall I also water as needed. I plant all my rebloomers close enough to the house that I can reach them with the water hose. I have three(Anxious, Immortality and Brother Carl) that have been blooming since June and the regular fall bloomers started late August. Except for about two weeks after the spring bloom I have had at least one iris in bloom since early March. If I get a few really late spring bloomers I think I can fill that gap. Lee Mincy

Nat - I'm glad you like Kisses From Heaven. It's one of the few edge-no eye daylilies that's still alive here. Maryl - I've never had rebloom on this Pink Aloha plant in its current location. The first Pink Aloha I got that I grew in a pot had rebloom the first year. (I've had three Pink Alohas. The first two died in pots.) I thought the Kentucky Lucky shot was especially good. I'm glad you think so too. I may enter that one in the AHS contest. Debra

Shelby is a pretty one. I fell for it when Debra grew and posted it, Sherry. Thank you, Nancy. Bold Awakening was a bonus I think. If so, it was a lucky one because it almost invariable has perfect blooms, No, Mantis. It is an Angela Ridder plant that I got from she and he husband a couple of years ago.The blooms typical has that appearance. The plant was heavily invaded by ants of all things. I put coffee grounds around it since ants do not like them and the plant is improving since them, but they had weakened it. Thank you Julia. Tahiti Sweeti has three scape today, Julia! I was so pleased when I saw it since the cats had knowed off the first two scapes. kay

I did it again, Debra! I really want it to be called Dragon, and I even looked back to make sure I got the name right! I don't like getting old. Although I suspect I just mentally want more dragons in the garden! Thank you!

Thanks Brad! I am very happy with it, but so much bloom season gone, it looks really good to me.

Great photo Nancy. Whatever name it is, it is a winner.
