It's always nice to see your flowers, Shive. 'Techny Peace' is lovely, such a soft color combination.

Laurel

They all look fabulous. It's funny about PARADISE CITY. Mine did almost the same. Bloomed midseason and then finially started blooming late as it should. I move it so we will see what it does this year but it's not blooming yet.

I love the late bloomers bed and I like that late bloomers are massed together for effect. My favorite of this batch goes to ROYAL JESTER. Its so pretty in your wonderful picture.

Beautiful pictures as usual Debra. Royal Jester just started blooming here yesterday.

Laurel - That photo of Techny Peace was taken at the end of the day after the sun had really brought out the peaches and pink in the polychrome. Sorry for the bad foliage. The hot temps and the slugs have taken a toll on the leaves.

Rita - Royal Jester seems more ruffly than in past years. It's doing so well in the new raised bed. It's funny how Paradise City takes a while to adjust to a new climate. This is far later than it's ever started blooming here.

Nancy - Thanks!

Debra

Royal Jester and Techny Peach. I can't decide since I love both of them!

You beds are beautiful and still full of blooms. Beautiful, Ellie.

Debra,

Your picture of North Wind Dancer is excellent. I look forward to seeing mine bloom. The scape is about 12 inches tall so far.

Edward

Debra, everything looks wonderful.. The raised bed looks absolutly perfect..Full bloom there..I like Royal Jester and of course N. W. Dancer...Ellie

Paradise City has always bloomed late here, like July/August. But that is changed because it is doing it here, now - with a June bloom. But very pretty, my favorite.
(and there is also the matter of Autumn Jewels blooming here in June...still trying to figure that one out)

Ben

Love them all! More to add to my wish list for late bloomers! :) thanks!

Wow Debra. That bed shot is excellent. Can't believe you've already started your late bloomers and we are just nearing peak bloom.

Always a pleasure viewing your pics.

ADRIENNE'S SURPRISE was another supposed late. It's always bloomed early here, except for this year when it flowered on the late side of the midseason.

LAST SNOWFLAKE is a wonderful cultivar that blooms mid rather than late for me.

CATHERINE NEAL, also registered as late, blooms midseason here.

SWEET SUGAR CANDY actually blooms late like its supposed to do.

SILVER RINGS was another I bought because of its late-season designation. The jury's out on this one. I have three fans of this. One bloomed early (possibly a rebloom scape that didn't have time to emerge in the fall), one has a scape that hasn't bloomed that would be very late, and the third, a small one, has no scape.

Debra

WOW, Your raised bed looks great. and I LOVE, ROYAL JESTER. beautiful. PARADISE CITY is looking really good, too and love ADRTENNE;S SURPRISE... LAST SNOWFLAKE is a beauty, too..And of course SILVER RINGS is gorgeous.

Jean

Beautiful, beautiful pictures! Love them all!
I especially like Royal Jester, and with Last Snowflake it was love at first sight (I saw it here last year, it's still too expensive for me though, but someday.. :)

Duh! I knew you weren't Ellie. What a dimwit.
kay

Me the dimwit, not you.

So many beautiful blooms. I love Catherine Neal and Silver Rings. I have Silver Rings, but it hasn't bloomed here yet.

Nancy VB

Your pictures are always so great. I like all of them, but I think I have to add Silver Rings to my want list.
Val

Like seeing the late ones. Paradise City is very pretty. I do like Silver Rings, hope it improves for you. It has been on my 'list'.
cindy

All are so beautiful. I was just ooohing and aaahhing all the way through your pictures. But I especially like Royal Jester, Adrienne's Surprise, Catherine Neal and Last Snowflake. YOur photography is outstanding. I have a question, is there a specific reason why the late bloomers are in a raised bed?

Christine

I love North Wind Dancer!

Christine - I grouped some of my lates and ML bloomers in the new raised bed I made for them. My yard didn't have many full sun places to plant, and there was limestone bedrock in this spot so I couldn't plant in the ground. Also weed control is so much easier in a raised bed, and the water gets to the roots much better than in my heavy clay.

Debra

Here are some more of my late bloomers
TAHLEQUAH FLAME is a true late bloomer. Unfortunately it's still in a pot and doesn't like it there, so it only has a few buds this time. The first year I had it, it was very well budded and rebloomed.

TYROLEAN TREASURE started blooming midseason rather than late, but it may be because of the strange weather.

MUTTON JADE also started blooming more mid than late, but it has immediate rebloom that should keep it blooming very late. I'm really happy with this one!

EL DESPERADO gets later and better budded each year. It's another late that pleases me.

More late to come. Check back to see more posted.

Debra

Your Tyrolean Treasure is much prettier than mine -- it tends toward mauve here. And thanks for posting the photo of Tahlequah Flame. I forgot I planted that a couple years ago. I'm guessing it croaked.

Chris - Tyrolean Treasure has looked sort of washed out until this week. Now it looks a rosy red with pink sepals. I wish it would always look like that. Keep looking for Tahlequah Flame. Maybe it just didn't bloom last year. Mine didn't.

Debra

Here are some more late bloomers for your viewing pleasure.

CHARLIE is one of my latest blooming daylilies. It's registered as a midseason bloomer, but two other people who have it say it's one of their latest bloomers too. I think there was a registration mistake. It's my favorite Reckamp.

SUSAN WEBER is always a pretty late bloomer.

AUGUST FROST is one of my favorite lates. It's tall and stately and loaded with blooms.

WAVES BECOME WINGS is a very late bloomer by Curt Hanson. The flowers have great substance and color in my garden.

COROLLA LIGHT is a Jim Murphy intro I added last fall because it was listed as a late bloomer. It bloomed midseason this time. I hope as it settles in next year it will truly bloom late.

SURFIN DUDE is another Murphy I bought because it was listed as a late bloomer. It bloomed later than Corolla Light, but still midseason rather than late.

INDY HUSTLER is a true late which has always bloomed late.
