Lots Of Darks & Purples Today

11 years ago

There seemed to be a lot of purples and darks blooming today. I have a hard time getting true color on my pictures with purples and reds. So just bear with me.

Her Majesty's Wizard

Robert Johnson

Malaysian Monarch

Mulberry Charm

Midnight Magic

Venetian Royalty

Westbourne Summer Grape Memories - this is an FFO on a newly planted daylily. The foliage was cut back and it looks bad, but I really like the color of the bloom.

Wesley's Masterpiece - had to show it one more time. It's just about done unless it reblooms.

Ancient Wisdom - another I've waited on for 3 years.

Another Night

Another Chance Today

Caribbean Frank League - this picture is from yesterday

Wow, you have a great collection of purples and near black daylilies. Wesley's Masterpiece and Another Chance are my favorites of them but they all are truly wonderful.

Funny that we both have so many purple ones blooming today :-))

Just in case you miss it on my purple thread, I wrote you that I though another purple post was a marvelous idea. Don't know why anyone would be upset, I love purple daylilies.

The colour on the wall is "Coffee" by Martha Stewart. It really is a great neutral colour! I just want to punch up the dining room and achieve a dramatic look and feeling of warmth but am worried about too many colours. I never would have thought high gloss in a deep shade but never considered the play with light in there. Thank you both for your suggestions.

"design dilemma" usually means a person is stuck on something and wants advice. you seem to just be thinking aloud here, which is a different kind of thing. maybe wait to post before and afters once you've solved whatever it is . . .

Any thoughts on finishing that area by the tv are welcomed. I'm thinking something tall to balance out the other side, don't want to move pics over purple chair and can't get a long, low tv stand because I can't find one I like for under $500 that's long enough.

You seem to capture the very beautiful color of Another Chance Today. My camea doesn't camture the beautiful blue hues. Your darks look really good. Mine seem to melt in the hundred degree weather. Ellie

That Caribbean Frank League is so very dark, I should hunt that one down. Another Chance Today is really pretty, but so are the rest. My darks and purples this year seem more saturated, perhaps it's all the rain and heat we're having. Very nice!

Georgeous Michelle,

Probably Another Chance Today is my favorite, but you have so many beauties here. I also love Another Night, Venetian Royalty, and Her Majesty's wizard. Mulberry Charm is also beautiful. I love purples, and you have a lovely selection.

Thanks everyone.
Ellie, ACT is a hard one to photograph. It's been blooming but all my pictures were turning out bad. I had to catch it before the sun hit it. And all the darks were melted here yesterday by lunchtime. So hot.....
Karen, I think Marietta has CFL. If you can't find it for a decent price send me an email. A local grower has it. It is in my top 3 darkest daylilies. The others are Smith Brothers and Night Wings. I'm glad you are getting a lot of rain. I wish you would send some this way. We haven't had rain in at least two weeks.
Debra, Another Night is one of my favorite purples. It isn't blooming as large as normal, but is planted next to a hydrangea which is starting to take over that area. I'm planning on moving it this fall.
