Catching up on Tuesday

I posted a group a couple of days ago, but lost the post twice, once through my error and once because Houzz malfunctioned. So I am catching up today.

Mango Crush had its first flowers open. It was planted last season. It's a late bloomer from Curt Hanson.

Fondues and Don'ts is not a favorite and it will be leaving the garden this fall. Actually, I won this in a drawing Bob Selman has when you buy one of his plants.

Buckskin Tales is a large flower but I don't love the color so I'm not sure if it will stay.

This was definitely Queen of the Garden today. It's just its second flower to open. It is Deadliest Catch X Raggedy Man.

One of the goals is a red with a black eye. We aren't close to achieving that, but this seedling might help us along the way. It is Lady Stephanie Victoria Redding X Man-eating Bat.

Sihir X Hip Hop Music has a few nice teeth.

More to come . . .

In our quest for late bloomers, we crossed Ruffled Strawberry Parfait, a parent to many varieties, with Sonoran Desert Rose. Here are a few of the offspring--all pink.

This first one had scapes 55 inches tall last season with bud count in upper 30s. We moved it and it's well branched now but not nearly as tall. We'll see what it does when it is established in its new spot.

More of a rose color on this one.

Paler pink

As you might imagine, Bob likes this one. It is But Wait, There's More X Wandering Werribee.

This is The Bride of Dracula X Absolute Ripper. We crossed orange with purple and got pink. What is notable about this one is it now has a complete set of rebloom scapes. We mostly get a scape here or there on rebloom, not a complete set.

That's all for me.

The Deadliest Catch seedling certainly deserves its crown. The Sihir seedling also caught my attention. I see that Houzz has fixed the glitch of losing the page when you click on enlargements.

Thanks all! Yes SISTER LUCIENNE is a Shooter intro, and I really like it. We have had record temps (tripple digits in the Seattle area is almost unheard of, and we have had them for two weeks!) and this DL has held it's beautiful color dawn to dusk. Granted, it is in part shade, but I have learned for the first time this year to appreciated something that is still vibrant when I get home from work! Debra, if your's is redder, I would be thinking that it may not be the right plant, as mine has been one of the more consistant in color of any in my garden. As for PAW PRINT, I only added it last fall, but from what I have seen so far, if you are thinking about it, GET IT! It's first blooms started before our outrageous temps, but it has still been lovely at the end of the day when it has been very hot, and it is totally packed with blooms. I was terribly afraid that I would not get the watermark in my "cool...ha ha ha" world, but every bloom has been wonderful. I am doing a budcount analysis this year for all of my dl's (Thanks Rita, for the inspiration to really SEE what my plants are doing), and I would bet that even as a first year plant it is in my top 20%. The pic of WOW was taken early in the am, so the color by evening was much more washed out...it is not a real good "color holder" when the heat is on I am thinking....

I like your second seedling out of Let's Dance Tonight. And I think Sioux Hall will get my vote for my favorite of this batch...........Is there a nicer shot then a man in his bibs working in the garden. My DH has the bibs, but not the inclination to do daylilies in them. Lucky you................Maryl

I like the color of Fondues and Don'ts. All seedlings are so pretty but of course my favorite is the Queen, Deadliest Catch seedling. I also really like the Sihir seedling and the last one, The Bride's with all the rebloom.

Love the color on the second and fourth seedlings. The Sihir seedling is really lovely, teeth or not!
