Rebloom pics

18 years ago

I apologize for being absent from the forum for a while. After my daylilies stopped blooming I went into withdrawal and started spending time on the LA and hybridizers websites, just dreaming. Unfortunately I did more than dream. I have about 40 new ones coming soon plus I want to move 50 seedlings to permanent homes. I have spent the last couple of weeks making room for these (NO NEW BEDS), digging the planting holes and ammending the soil. I have 71 holes dug and about 20 seedlings moved. Anyway, the weather was cool and overcast and I just couldn't resist taking a few pictures of some rebloom.

Autum Wood - color much darker than usual, maybe the cool temps.

    Great pictures. Mine are drying up in the garden..

    It does one good to see that someone still has blooms.

    I don't think I've seen Autumn Wood that dark before.

    Keep em coming as long as they bloom.

    Wow Ann your pictures are a knockout. I have another flower coming on Cosenza tomorrow, my only one left. I never had lilies blooming in Sept before. It is sooooo nice today with the high in the 70's.
    Your first picture is simply stunning with the flowers in the background matching the eye.

    Great photos Ann, love WOY. I grow the other two also. Your AW looks beautiful as does MM, which is always a fav in my garden. Thanks for the blooms...I'm missing the last few reblooms on mine, since I'm in PA on vacation, but that's ok, my DH and I are having a great time. :)

    Thanks, everyone. Tom, I took a picture of Autumn Wood on Saturday before the temperatures moderated and the color was much lighter. Thanks, Dot for noticing the celosia with Way Over Yonder. I would like to say I planned it that way, but the celosia is a volunteer. Jan, have a wonderful time with hubby - that is so much more important than a few daylily blooms. Thanks again, Chirs, for WOY - it is so lovely, but the last of 6 rebloom scapes is on its way out - just a couple more blooms. It has been amazing.

    Thanks for the photos of AUTUMN WOOD and MOONLIT MASQUERADE! I just love both of those. Neither rebloomed for me this year. They usually do. It's good to see them reblooming for you.

    Debra, I got Moonlit Masquerade this spring on your recommendation and have not been disappointed. Thanks!

    Love your pictures. That duo of Moonlit Masquerade is an absolute stunner. It looks so perfect, like they were a painting instead of a photo. Love it!

    I got Moonlit Masquerade myself last year really because of the lovely pictures posted by Debra. Mine didn't do much this year. Am hoping next year will be better.

    hmmm, still haven't gotten MM yet. Maybe in the spring :-).
    Could AW be darker because of your soil? I've heard but not experienced yet that sometimes with alot of rain the soil PH changes causing some DL's to bloom deeper in color. Not sure if this fact or fiction.

    Thanks for posting. We are definitely nearing the end. Still got a couple going and Siloam Little Girl sent up a new scape so waiting for it to bloom. Temps changed back down again after the storm so we are back in the high 60's today. Great gardening weather.
