Wednesday's Best

17 years ago

I have been away from the forum for a couple of days. Had to get my monthly shot in the ole' eyeball Monday. I still have a few blooming and I am sure I have posted all of these before. Hope you don't mind seeing them again.

I am not a big orange fan (in daylilies) but the base color of Orange Grove is rather subdued with the big eye. I am really liking this one.

Southern Dazzle never has a bad bloom.

Three seedlings from today:

#1

#2

Sorry, folks. This big 7" bloom nearly takes my breath away on every bloom. A picture cannot capture what I see in person.

    I would like to see such lovely daylilies anytime, the more the better. COZENZA is my very favorite, That soft warm pink with the white watermark is just so pretty. The coloring is alot like my SWEET ISABELA so no wonder that I like it so much!!!!

    I'll take one of each, please. Beautiful!

    Hi Ann,

    These daylilies are wonderful and the cross of Grandma'sSmile X Lillian's Ginger Bred has been very good for you. I especially like the seedling numbered #2. Also, Grandma's Ruffled Curtains must be amazing in person at 7 inches.

    Rita, I agree with you about Cosenza. It is so pretty in person. Edward, the Grandma cross has been truly outstanding. Some day I will post pictures of all 9 seedlings from this cross. Two are white, 6 are pink and then there is Grandma's Ruffled Curtains that is neither color. I guess you would call it a peachy melon - I don't know. Thanks, Kathy, Rita, and Edward for your comments.

    Ann - All are lovely, but Grandma's babies are my favorites! You really did great with those! Southern Dazzle has so much eye, you can barely see what's left of the petal. At first I thought it was just a pretty purple, but then I realized just how big the eye was. It's like the eye that devoured Florida's Mecca. How do you feel about that one? I don't mean to be insulting, but that eye is just so big, it's a little unsettling.

    All nice, but that's the best photo of COSENZA I've seen yet.

    "monthly shot in the ole' eyeball"...yikes! I hope you're okay.

    Lovely pictures!

    Ellie, thanks for your comment. To which seedling are you referring, if you don't mind my asking?

    Sharon, I always love it when that first seedling blooms. It is such a soft pink but it is the triangular eyezone that I really like.

    Debra, I think Southern Dazzle is very striking in the garden because it is so unique. Yes the eyezone is quite huge. The eyezone and the purple on the double edge blend together and it seems the eye almost doesn't end. Answering Angels likes its pollen. Can you imagine the eyezone from this cross?

    Chris, Cosenza is new for me this year and this bloom is not the best by far, since it is one of the last blooms on that scape. I have really been impressed by the beauty of this daylily. Glad you like it.

    Gonegardening, I am fine after my monthly injection in the eye. Thanks for your concern. I have been doing this for about a year and a half. It is the only thing that keeps me from losing my central vision. One does what one needs to do. It isn't fun, but I recover nicely.

    Thanks to all who looked. Happy Gardening.

    Ann,
    All I can say is WOW, what awesome pictures of Lucid Moment and Orange Grove. Of course you always know I love GRC.

    Outstanding photography!

    I love the ruffles on Apopka Pink Pearl, with the yellow/gold edging.

    Lucid Moment would stop me in my tracks if I were strolling through your garden.

    I think I would need sunglasses while viewing Orange Grove - what a waker-upper!

    Great job on nuturing your seedlings...keep up the good work.

    I wish my Cosenza was showing that kind of watermark. I hope I get to see it, I do have another scape coming up.

    Lucid Moment is gorgeous! Every picture I see is a heart thump.

    You have got to be so stoked on your seedlings! They all look great!

    Wow, I never get tired of seeing your beauties,and especially that LAST SNOWFLAKE and GRANDMA'S CURTAINS.(the last one) Those seedling are gorgeous, too.
