Scapes starting

18 years ago

About time too. I have been mostly seeing scapes on the daylilies planted this spring that came from south of here. Most of my daylilies from Paul Owen have scapes right now and they were not planted too long ago.

I also have scapes on STELLAS RUFFLED FINGERS that I bought from Jim Murphy and Margo Reed planted this spring. Some of Karroll Emmeriches greenhouse grown daylilies also have scapes.

But the scapes I am referring to are on daylilies that were here from last year. I have scapes just starting here and there up on my evergreen daylily plateau in the back yard so we will see how they do up there.

I have a row of Bill Maryotts intro TIC TAC TOE and its just loaded with scapes. Bill told me it just blooms all the time there at his place so it will be interesting to see how it does here. It flowered alot for me last fall.

Can't wait for the show to start this year.

Same here in Maryland - Yea!!! They are slowly rising, except for my lates, and some of the ones on the side of my house that only gets afternoon sun. But, im so excited to see scapes on a lot of my new ones from last year that didn't bloom yet. Im leaving for vacation on June 21st though, and by the time the scapes are tall enough, and the buds are ready to open, I probably won't be here. We go on vacation with my parents every year, and my darn mom always books vacation at peak daylily season. I almost want to stay home, and just send my kids with them. Hey it would still be a vacation for me! LOL I didn't mind going at peak DL season last year, because I got to visit Marietta gardens. But im not going to go this year. I learned my lesson, planting daylilies around here on 90 degree days only gets you ROT! Well we will be sharing pics soon enough, won't we! -Jessica

Well, I was just out looking at the big daylily plateau in the backyard. Not much in scapes but I guess its still early in the season. Some exceptions. Bill Maryotts INCENDIARY is covered in scapes and KISSES LIKE WINE also has los and lots of scapes.

In another section of my yard I have a row of Maryotts TIC TAC TOE and the whole row is loaded with scapes.

I'm getting lots of scapes too! I think the first to bloom will be Stella's Ruffled Fingers, Lucky Shamrock, Frosted Vintage Ruffles and Party Prince.

I am starting to see scapes on the daylilies planted first thing this spring from Melanie Mason and Brian Culver. I have scapes on MANGO CHUTNEY, SPIRIT ZONE, RESCUE ME and SUMMER RERUN. Also a scape on Don Herrs ON LINE. These were not the type of scapes that already started when you plant later as these northern daylilies did not have time to set scapes at home before arriving here.

I can't believe what this heat spell of 4 days of hotter than hot weather has done for the bloom scapes. Daylilies that were showing no scapes 3 days ago have big scapes that you can not miss noticing now. I just finished my morning garden walkaround (takes awhile as I study everything) and I just can not believe the amount of scapes everywhere.
