Late August and Sept. Reblooms

8 months ago

I had a few seedlings and a registered daylily blooming in the past week. Young rabbits ate the rebloom scapes coming on Jewel of Tavares and Ice Cream Emperor. It's extremely dry now. I'm hoping for rain later this week. My husband has been in the hospital, and I haven't been able to water anything except a few pots.

White Tooth X Skater 2R rebloomed at the beginning of August and now has another rebloom scape going. It's rebloomed now for three seasons.

Blazing Saddles X Amethyst Prism is reblooming. The first rebloom flower opened as a poly. As you can see, crabgrass has invaded several of my beds. I'm working on cleaning it out right now.

Grandma's Smile X Dearest Valentine turned really pale after the week of hundred degree temps.

Here's what it looked like when temps were cooler and it was hydrated.

Sensational Heart blazes on with rebloom.

Thank you, Nancy - My husband's recovery is not particularly speedy, but he is making progress in rehab. The first seedling is not the best of my White Tooth seedlings. In response to bad winters and freezes, it's more like the other parent, Skater. It might have fared better this season if it had been planted in the ground rather than in a raised bed. It is a reliable rebloomer though.

Nice reblooms you have! Sensational Heart looks a nice red.

I have had more than usual reblooms here, and just the last couple of days have seen 4 more plants with 1 or 2 new scapes each. I snapped off the scapes thinking they may not have time to bloom before frost. They are fairly new plants that I want to conserve their strength.

Sensational Heart seems to have been a winner for you this season. Such a pretty color. The seedlings look good too.Great that they are rebloomers!

Very dry here as well. No rain in forecast for us. Heat returns as well.

So sorry about your husband. Certainly hope that situation improves.

Wish I knew what they were thinkin' when they name these daylilies, Juicy Bubble Butt? I like the teeth, need to look up the hybridizers picture I guess, yours looks nice. Your Billy the Kid is starting off nicely, mine was ok the first bloom, but got better with each bloom. Maybe it needed warmer temps to really get the look, but I really like it. I don't know how it will do when it is established, but every flower looked different, which I liked. How great to have such a nice clump like Tiffany Shade blooming now.

I think Party Pinafore was bud building, Debra, but it is finished now. It is not listed as a bud builder, but i know it was on its last 2-3 buds for a long time. It bloomed right at 2 months, supposed to have 16-20 buds but most of the scapes had 25 or more. Really good year for it, I hope that does not mean it won't bloom next year.

Julia - Some of the reblooms are on short scapes, and others are not. Rebloom scapes on Pink Lemonade Party have been in the 30s - taller than registered. Rebloom stalks on Promises Kept and Cobalt Rings are exactly the registration height. This latest scape on Grandma's Smile is shorter than the originals, which were about an inch shorter than registered The others are on short scapes. Royal Jester's orginal scapes were a few inches taller than registered, but the rebloom scapes are on short scapes. Debra

Mantis - You are right that Skater #4 would be good crossed with Sword of Justice. It's too bad Sword of Justice didn't bloom this year. I have crossed Tart with a Heart with my two red-eyed seedlings (Abilene Lillian X Ruby Lipstick) and some near whites. Sherry - I'm thrilled that White Tooth #4 has performed so well this year. I have so many White Tooth seedlings that rebloom well that I'm likely to keep several of them permanently. I'm always stumped as why Last Chance for Romance hasn't shown up for you. It should be a good northern plant. It's nice to have Minstrel Singer blooming this time of year. Nat - I'm glad to read Arctic Lace is reblooming for you! It's such a pretty near white. I really love Tart With a Heart. It's bright and beautiful every day. I look forward to have a clump of those blooms. Thanks for your seedling comments! Brad - Thanks for the comments on the Innocent Disc. seedling. Minstrel Singer does have a lovely round form. Last Chance for Romance isn't as impressive this year as it has been the past few years. The bud count is so much lower this year. Debra

Yes, so very dry. But you had substantial rain earlier. Blazing Saddles is one of the few Hansens that performs well here, so I pay attention to its progeny.

Mantis - We did have 5 inches of rain in early August, but the raised beds and the ground is dusty dry right now. The Blazing Saddles kid, unfortunately, was not a weather warrior. It had only a few scapes from a large clump, and they were very short. Blazing Saddles did scape on almost every fan and the scapes, although not the usual 36 inches registered 30 plus inches.

Kate - Sensational Heart was a winner all season. Last week when temps were in the mid-80s the blooms stayed looking good all day. My husband is in rehab now. He had a very serious UTI and a bad fall. He's getting better every day and doing well with physical therapy. Thanks for your comments.

Nancy - I do love Sensational Heart! I'm glad you're getting so much rebloom. I've had less rebloom on registered daylilies than any year in the past. It's mostly my seedlings that are reblooming this year.

So happy you have more rebloom on your seedlings! I hope that the daylilies that took the year off do well next season……that goes for my garden too…….I had over a dozen that didnt bloom, out of two hundred.

I hope your husband recovers quickly, sending prayers your way.

Thanks Kay! White Tooth X Skater 2R is a great rebloomer. Blazing Saddles X Amethyst Prism had only a few scapes this year, and short ones at that. Sensational Heart may be my best performer this year. It was definitely one of the best branched and the longest blooming.

White Tooth X Skater looks like a winner, both pretty and great bloomer and rebloomer.

Brad - Most of the kids from the White Tooth X Skater rebloom well. It's tempting to keep all of them.

Debra, I hope your husband has a speedy recovery.

Your rebloom is lovely. I especially like Sensational Heart. I also like the first seedling. It's so nice when they rebloom.
