Today's Flowers

14 years ago

I found a new Daylily Journal today :) Probably came with yesterday's mail, I didn't even notice.

Lot of flowers blooming today (well, lots for me :)) and I found a new scape on S.Baby Talk. Also found dried out buds and scapes - one each on Eyes on the Prize, Lime Frost, Shores of Time, and both on Katrina Heroes. If it doesn't send up more, no Katrina for this year :(

Zuni Thunderbird, one of my very few spidery or UF types

Chance Encounter - this is the best it opened so far this year

{{gwi:770076}}

Ha, yesterday I said my Elegant Candy's buds are too small to open, well, obviously didn't notice one that was not - FFO

{{gwi:770077}}

Navajo Princess - can't get close to it; like last year it has normal scapes and too short scapes, the lower flower is just inches from the ground

{{gwi:770078}}

Nan's First Blush 2FO - this one is nice, it turned out yellow in my picture but it looks almost white IRL

{{gwi:770079}}

Mama's Cherry Pie today

{{gwi:770080}}

George Jets On opened 8 flowers today, looked so nice, too bad I couldn't group them all for a picture ;)

Xon Valdez with a little bee

Quiet Reflections - not a very good picture, but the left side looks like its real color

{{gwi:770083}}

And Peace Beyond Understanding - my very favorite light one

{{gwi:770084}}

Thanks for looking!

WOW :PRETTY:CHANCE ENCOUNTER is very pretty, and ELEGANT CANDY looks great.MAMA'S CHERRY PIE, I read that one and thought huh, my mama never baked a pie in her life, but, my grandma was always making me a CHERRY PIE. I would pick the cherries and she made me the pie.Lived in Illinois growing up, cherry trees dont grow here. I must have planted well over a dozen of them and not a one grew. I like that purple one, too XON VALDEZ; but my favorite one is PEACE BEYOUND.it resembles my WONDER OF IT ALL. to me.

GEORGE JETS ON clump is wonderful. Your pic of ZUNI THUNDERBIRD with the twisting of the sepals is my favorite.

Here's another vote for your clump of George Jets On. And I also really like PEACE BEYOND UNDERSTANDING. I'm off to Google that one.

I can't believe you already have buds on Lime Frost! Doesn't it know it's supposed to be a late? What a crazy year. My favorites today are Zuni Thunderbird, Mama's Cherry Pie twins, Xon Valdez, George Jets On and Peace Beyond Understanding. My GJ is just barely sending up scapes and I'm excited since it's new. My NP isn't showing any scapes yet. You are way ahead of me!

Thanks Deangreen, Rita, Kay, Jean, Julia, Linda, Christine, Celeste! :)

Xon Valdez unfortunately not sun-fast at all. At 12 it already looked somewhat damaged by the sun.
PBU is great. I like that it has several colors going on there.

Celeste, that's what I was saying about Lime Frost :) I don't think it's VL or even L. It's more like "later". It's good that yours are on schedule, we'll have lots of pics from you when ours are done!

I do like George Jets On, Your Navajo Princess is doing the same thing as mine :) One tall scape and one short scape, what's up with that?

Oh, yours doing it too? Interesting! Well, at least it has normal height scapes as well :)

Navajo Princess was the first daylily to ever catch my eye. I still love it, even when it blooms on the ground.
