More pics to share

19 years ago

It's been a tough week, just a real downer in many ways, so I enjoyed taking some photos yesterday and today to share with all of you:

{{gwi:647081}}
My Lily Auction seedling, purchased last year.


TALKING TO YOU


HYPERION


GENTLE SHEPHERD


KWANZO


LADY CYNTHIA


DANCING PENNY


BANDITMAN (rather pansy-faced, but bright anyhow)


FROZEN JADE

{{gwi:651109}}
CHENANGO ROSE (a little-known older variety, hybridized not too far from my home; it's a little peachier and richer in color than I could get this photo to show; I wasn't expecting the pale cream eye)

This is the long bed in my back yard, looking down from a window. Can you tell I like hot colors?

    Our daylilies always brighten up our day. Yours are very pretty.

    I have never heard of CHENANGO ROSE, along with about 43,000 other ones : ) That one I will have do a search to see what I can find out about it.

    Your seedling looks like a nice one, I like the 'pansy face', and the form on Dancing Penny, also one I don't know.

    I hope things are looking up.

    Thanks for showing us your DLs. Mine are practically all water spotted today. We had a shower, but need many more.

    That's a great seedling! My GENTLE SHEPHERD and KWANZO are blooming today too. I love CHENANGO ROSE!! Where did you get it? I would love to get it.

    Hi Betsy, I bought 'Chenango Rose' at a local perennial/annual nursery that gets some of their daylilies from a local daylily grower. The flower was hybridized by MacLeod in 1973, and named after the street he lived on (Chenango St.) not too far from here. It doesn't seem to be common at all. If it increases well, I could send you a fan or two next year, but it's a new plant this year for me.

    Betsy, don't let me forget! Send me a reminder in the spring if I don't bring it up first. I'd love to arrange a trade.

    Life is looking up a bit, and so is the garden today. God is so good, I can't believe I forget that once in a while. Here are some more pics:


    EGYPTIAN SPICE (It's about the color of orange sherbet.)


    HESPERUS (So elegant and graceful!)

    {{gwi:647086}}
    STREAKER (It's supposed to be cream with a rose eye, but mine is decidedly light peach.)

    {{gwi:656036}}
    MINT CONDITION (The more this one blooms, the more I like it.)

    Thanks for looking!

    Laurel,
    You have some beautiful DLs!
    There is nothing better than taking a stroll through your garden to cheer yourself up! It can even be a cloudy day, but those flowers seem to cleanse the spirit!
    I love your Lily Auction seedling.
    You did a fantastic job on your bed.

    Thanks for sharing!

    Very beautiful, and I think we are all guilty of not realizing God's grace at times.

  • 19 years ago

    Thanks for sharing....

  • 19 years ago

    I love MINT CONDITION!That has to go on my list.HESPERUS too.I wasn't one for yellows,but my taste has changed a bit this year.That STREAKER has a great eye.Thanks for posting them,Laurel.I hope things get brighter.

    Laurelin- Is your Streaker in full sun? Mine is, and it came out light peach also.

    I really like the pic of Mint Condition... and have already ordered Dancing Penny since seeing your picture of it.

    Hi barbiescraps, I bought MC from Wilds three years ago, and 'Hesperus' from Oakes at the same time. I'm sure H is available from many sources; Oakes sent me a nice clump. I haven't seen MC anywhere else, but I haven't been looking for it either. I love the rounded, textured look of MC, it's different from anything else I'm growing right now, and it's stunning in a clump. On cool mornings the flowers have a very faint flush of peach on the petals:

    Thank you, everyone. Some seasons of life are just tough, and I'm having one, but the Lord is still good to me and in control. My garden is a peaceful comfort, and a fun diversion. I appreciate your encouragement.

    My 'Streaker' is in full sun, mogrows. Would planting it in a partly shady area increase the likelihood of it being creamier? If it would, I could do that - I have just the spot.

    Laurel, I think I would try it in the part shade.. I cant move mine right now from where it is, because I haven't got any fence up around the flower beds to protect my DLs from the rabbits. Have started working on it, though, and Streaker will be the very first to move into some shade!
