BLOOMS FROM SUNDAY

last year

This will be my last post for a while, as I am digging plants for the sale/auction in MD. I am taking 35 plants and 28 are leaving the garden. I need to make room for seedlings that I am evaluating as well as a few acquisitions. I am hoping to add the following daylilies: BLOOD OF THE MARTYRS, NATURE'S CRYSTAL SEA, QUEEN OF THE SEVEN KINGDOMS, STRANGER THINGS and possibly YETI NIGHT. Who knows what else I might come home with from the bag sale portion of the activities. If anyone has any feedback regarding the above cultivars, I am all ears. I am glad that I did a lot of digging this weekend, as this coming week appears to be in the 90s with humidity.

Here is a FFE: TIGRILLO AFTERNOON. This picture was taken at 4 pm as I was digging early in the am and then had to go to church.

TOTAL SILENCE

YADA YADA YELLOW: Massive blooms. 9 inches

RUFFLED STRAWBERRY PARFAIT

WIDE-EYED WALLY

That is all from me,

David

Too hot to dig here, but you have to make the sale. Tigrillo Afternoon still fetches a hefty price, so you were fortunate to pick it up. It will be exciting to see the new plants next year. What is leaving the garden?

Digging for a sale is a lot of work, isn't it. We too are in the place where some have to go for us to add new ones.

Tigrillo Afternoon is a beautiful color. This one is new to me. I also like Ruffled Strawberry Parfait, which is one of our most important work horses in our breeding.

I like the color on Tigrillo Afternoon, new to me too. Hope the sale goes well! we have spent part of two weekends moving, dividing and eliminating daylilies here, hard work for sure,

I'm still dumbfounded that you're in zone 4 and your daylilies are not only already blooming but you've got some lates blooming too. I'm bordering on zone 4b/5a and I am just barely seeing scapes starting on my earliest ones and it is still a wait for blooms. The only ones that have bloomed were confused from late fall planting but established plants are nowhere near their ffo's. Anyway, these are so pretty and my favorite of these is 'Forever Redeemed'. That one is gorgeous!! I have scapes starting on George Jets On and Gilded by Grace, but my Prediction and American Freedom have no scapes showing yet. I also like your purple NO ID. I like the color. Celeste

Jean: I know about hot and humid weather and we are suppose to get back to those dreadful temps/humidity later this week. For now, I'll enjoy the cooler and windy weather we are having now. Easier to get gardening work done. mantis: Glad it helps you. I don't mean to downplay a hybridizers creation but if it doesn't show improvement in 2 years, it has to go where it can flourish better. Even with this seasons up and downs (it could happen again), it's another way to see which cultivar is able to stand the test of our weather patterns. Julia

WYATT'S CAMEO is my pick of the day & I like Magnificent Rainbow. The last photo of Ashwood is just gorgeous in a clump, I see what you mean about it changing. Both photos are pretty, & I like them both.

Bloom from Sunday nightphoto taken with flash Photos without flash: These last two were taken at about 10:00 pm and are lit only by my outdoor light, which fortunately lights up this part of the back yard. I guess the camera thought that there was enough light not to need the flash, but I'm glad I got it both ways. I hand pollinated this flower at 8 & 10 PM, and so I will see in a couple of months whether I was successful. I have three more buds (in the second photo) which should open later next month, and so maybe I will get something from those also. I got some help from the tropical fruit forum for hand pollination.

Looks like your church visit paid off. You were blessed with that pretty bloom of Tigrillo Afternoon. It's lovely. Any idea what your temperature was when you took that picture?..............Maryl

It was 82 degrees and overcast at that point. The sun was out in full strength between 11 and 1.

Tigrillo Afternoon and Ruffled Strawberry Parfait are both really pretty, my favorites. I got Yada Yada Yellow. I added it last year, it did not bloom til this year. The blooms were good, but short. The plant is not looking great. I expected much better from a plant that is technically 2nd year. But it has been a rough year. I also like Wide Eyed Willy, that flat open look always appeals to me.

Mantis,

Thanks for posting a picture of TIGRILLO AFTERNOON from Crintonic Gardens.

Here is what is leaving my garden:

ANGEL UNAWARES

CAROLINA BOUND: more foliage than blooms

CORAL MAJORITY: Can't keep everything

DUCK EYES: Muddy lavender color

EGGPLANT ECSTASY: I've had it for years and not hybridizing with it.

FAIREST LOVE

FORBIDDEN DESIRES: A Petit that does well for me, but there are better gold edged purples

GAVIN PETIT: Under performs. Did not even bloom this year

HEAVENLY ANGEL ICE: Single digit bud count on all scapes year after year

INDY ELECTRIFIED: I have other bicolors that I like more. Bloom is on the small side.

LAST FLIGHT OUT

LEONARD SAUTER

LORD OF RINGS

MILDRED MITCHELL

MY SWEET ROSE

NORTHPOLE: Has never reached its registered height

OLD KING COLE: EVENING EYE SHADOW is an improved version.

PURPLE DE ORO: Lot of foliage and few blooms.

ROGER GROUNDS: I've had for years and time for a change

SCREEN PATTERN: I would love to have a patterned throat that did not canoe. More foliage than blooms

SULTRY SPANISH EYES: I love the bloom, but it does not reach its registered height and bud count is low

TECHNY ORE: It is tall, well branched, a lot of buds, but I am not a fan of the more orange side of melon.

VICTORIAN GARDEN OH HAPPY DAY: I have a seedling that is similar and taller. This one tends to bloom in the foliage.

ZEBE: Bonus plant last year and I don't want to give up a spot in the garden for a plant that I am not going to hybridize with.

RING THE BELLS OF HEAVEN: When it is great it is great. Tends to be splotchy. More so than RED FRIDAY.

JANICE BROWN

GENESEE ROSE

STRAWBERRY CANDY

The ones without comments I've had for a long time and it is time to modernize more of the garden and find spots for my select seedlings.

I will have a report of how the sale/auction went early next week.

Surprised to hear about Gavin Petit. It performs well here and is a distinctive color. Ring the Bells of Heaven has been quite clean here the last few years. God knows what accounts for different years.
