Some blooms from the weekend

17 years ago

The daylilies are finally recovering from the cool wet weather in June and new ones are starting to pop out daily. I just love this time of year...I don't think that ANYTHING else could have me anxiously popping out of bed an extra half an hour early every day just to do a quick preview before work!

BLUE VOODOO was new last fall, and it's now decorating the kitchen counter thanks to an over-enthusiastic puppy picking the scape for momma. At least this bloom opened for me, and maybe one more tomorrow...

MASK OF TIME

MORTICIA is always lovely for me, but rarely shows it's watermark well and this weekend it was as good as it gets here.

PRAIRIE CHARMER is an oldie but I just love it. It was happy with all the rain this winter...it's blooms are just huge

TUSCAWILLA TIGRESS another oldie that is on my top ten every year!

WIREGRASS GREENSTAR ffo..will be more colorful soon, but I love it in all it's forms.

A couple of seedlings that I am liking...had posted the first one once before at ffo, and this bloom was almost perfect and I really like it.

COQUINA KEY X WILD MUSTANG

CREOLE CAVALIER X UNKNOWN

And lastly, a couple of garden shots that show things to come...

Hope you enjoy them as much as I did taking them!

Ohhhh Julie. MASK OF TIME is just stunning.
The rain is something I think most of us are experiencing too much of here in the northeast. I keep trying to send it south but it just keeps hanging around here LOL.

COQUINA KEY X WILD MUSTANG seedling is quite stunning. Very bright.

Thanks for sharing.

Julie- Looks like your weekend was full of blooms there in your garden and they sure do look good. I would be picking MASK OF TIME as my favorite of the batch because I love that throat. Both garden shots are lovely but I love the laast one were you can see so much going on and a riot of color. Thats what a daylily bed should be too me, a riot of color and thats perfect.

Thanks for the comments!

Rita, the "riot" was my very first daylily bed planted in 2001. It is funny as I take a close up look at a lot of the blooms and they seem almost "common" compared to a lot of what is out there today, but I have absolutely no intention of altering it one bit. The splash of color is just a joy and gives me a thrill every time I look at it...I agree...that is what a daylily bed should be!

How exciting to see all those buds in your flower beds.
You already have a grand show in that last photo.

I've never see Prairie Charmer before, and it's going on my list - it's a beauty.

Glad you posted Mask of Time. Your bloom is perfectly shaped. I just purchased and planted mine this Spring - should be a mid-late bloomer here.

Looking forward to seeing more!

What a riot of color you have going on. It must be so nice to be outside in your yard. I really like the 2nd seedling. The substance looks unreal.
