Multiples and One Monster

14 years ago

Just a couple shots of multiples:

ARCTIC LACE (because it's impossible to get a bad picture of this daylily):

SAFE ISLAND is a winner every year, including this awful year for daylilies in Michigan:

TWO SUES reminds me of a clump of butterflies:

PEPPERMINT PINWHEEL, with the least splotchy blooms of the season:

And finally, the monster from Curt Hanson -- HIGH PLAINS DRIFTER, coming in at 9 inches:

    Gorgeous, everyone of them, but that shot of Two Sues is stunning, magazine worthy. sharon

    Arctic Lace is always lovely - a supermodel among daylilies! Two Sues looks fabulous at clump strength. I must get mine planted in the ground. I finally successfully crossed TS with some unusual forms. I'm hoping the pods don't abort during this wretched heatwave. I love the Safe Island photo. It looks like the top bloom is riding piggyback. Those whopper monster blooms really make a statement, and High Plains Drifter is a bright, nicely textured bloom. It's too bad Peppermint Pinwheel is splotchy. The colors are great.

    Wonderful colors. It must have been overcast. I wonder though if Arctic Lace is always that yellowish. Other pictures (probably in low light) show it as much whiter.

    Thanks, Sharon -- Two Sues has to be among my best-performing daylilies, and it's only been here a few years.

    Debra, High Plains Drifter isn't my favorite color combination, but I love any bloom that big. I can imagine how it will look at clump strength.

    Mantis, I know what you mean about Arctic Lace. I never alter the color on my photos, and this one was taken at about 7 a.m.. It's usually much more white. Maybe the sun is a factor in brightening it up?

    Chris, beautiful blooms as always. Wow, 9 inches, That sure is a large bloom! SAFE ISLAND is gorgeous. I am not sure which I like better, SAFE ISLAND or TWO SUES so I will pick them both as favorites.

    Two Sues is very pretty indeed! And I'm always partial to the ones that look like Safe Island, my favorite form and color.

    Beautiful! Your picture of TWO SUES is outstanding, it looks fabulous. TWO SUES does not like the heat here at my house, the blooms have been totally shriveling up by the middle of the day in a hot day in the sun.

    I tend to like all daylilies, & no exception here, they are all beautiful. Safe Island is gorgeous, such a perfect bloom, but that can be said of them all. My favorite may be Two Sues, but it does have an advantage being a clump :)

    Artic Lace is always "smiling for the camera." Safe Island is a beauty. I like your big new Hanson since I love that color in daylilies. The clump always grabs me. But the colors of Peppermint Pinwheel are so pretty, it is my favorite today.
