Blooming September 16th

18 years ago

I was really excited to see a bloom open today on SHADOW OF HIS HAND a 2008 intro from Karol Emmerich that she sent me as a bonus plant. Honestly the picture on her website doesn't even begin to capture the deep rich coloring and striking contrast on this flower. It didn't bloom for me until now.

And to think I passed up on buying it because it didn't look that spoecial in the picture. I really would have lost out on a gorgeous flower and great plant.

SHADOW OF HIS HAND FFO

And again.

This is taken from the back so you can't see the open flower. What you can see are the rest of the buds and the branching.

Here is SEVENTY TIMES SEVEN. Not slug eaten today but a really lousey picture.

CORAL MAJORITY by Richard Norris. First flower on a rebloom scape.

    Nice to have blooms still coming.
    Coral Majority looks to have a nice color but it appears to me on my monitor to be pink. Is it more pink or a true coral color?

    Thanks for posting.

    Its deffinately not pink. A very pretty difficult to describe color and very true to life on my screen, I wish you could see it.

    SHADOW OF HIS HAND sure does have intense color saturation!! Reminds me lots of These Eyes, but with deeper colors! What a beauty. CORAL MAJORITY to me, comes out coral-color... if I had to pick an HTML color to corespond, I would say it is Salmon(#FA8072)

    SHADOW OF HIS HAND does have that deep color intensity going on like THESE EYES and KANSAS KITTEN. Its a much better flower than KANSAS KITTEN and compairing it to THESE EYES, it just seems to be more. I have THESE EYES and really love the flower but I think SHADOW OF HIS HAND has a bigger eye and sharper contrast between eye and backround.

    Rita,

    Lovely blooms. Shadow of His Hand has glorious coloring! And looks like it will still put on quite a show for you!

    I've been out of the loop again for a week or so, and it is wonderful to come back to pics of your rebloom!

    Keep them coming!

    You just had to show me the buds on Shadow of his Hand, didn't you. You'll probably have blooms up to frost. My garden is dead.

    Love the color on SOHH

    What beauties! Thanks for sharing your blooms. I don't have anything blooming today - maybe there will some flowers by the weekend on Blazing Saddles. Jerry Hyatt and the Stellas are gearing up for October blooms.

    Shadow of His Hand is beautiful. About your comment on it looking better in person then in his catalog, coincidently a few years ago I made a comment in some notes to myself on hybridizers that the pictures on his web site were not all that appealing. Kind of the reverse from some other websites where every daylily looks like a banker.

    The color of SHADOW OF HIS HAND just jumps at me. Not just in the picture but in the garden. I have it nearby by the kitchen door in my terrances garden and I see it all the time. Another flower on it is blooming today.

    Tom: I have buds on scapes all over the place. You are just going to have to put up with more pictures coming along :-))

    Rita, how does Shadow do in the fading department? Is it color fast? It's such a beauty that I took a 2nd look today.

  • 18 years ago

    Absolutely no fading now. It didn't bloom for me during the heat of summer so I can not say from experience if there would be any problems in the really hot weather or not.

  • 18 years ago

    I guess I can handle it for a little while longer. Just don't overwhelm me.

    Tom

  • 18 years ago

    Don't I wish I had so many blooms I could overwhelm everyone. Considering its September, I think I am doing pretty good.

  • 18 years ago

    Rita, Shadow Of His Hand is an absolute knockout!! It almost looks like soft velvet. Thanks so much for sharing all you gorgeous daylilies.

    Heres todays flower of CORAL MAJORITY. The color holds pretty much the same day by day.

    SEVENTY TIMES SEVEN looks better today. I guess the slugs did not have diner last night.

    thanks Rita for your experience on Shadow. Any time a deep or vivid color is sunfast it is of interest to me and I always hope a poster will mention it if they think of it. Hope to see pics of this one again next year.
