Look what bloomed today.

18 years ago

Last year I bought hundreds of daylilies from Maryotts, this year I only bought two, his 2008 intros HOT LAVA and CHORAL FANTASY. Bill sent me SECRET FRIEND and EXTRAVANT, also 2008 intros as bonus plants. The first three bloomed shortly after planting early this summer and while they looked good, it was a typical bloom low in the folliage first scapes with just afew flowers. I never got any decent pictures.

But EXTRAVANT never bloomed until now and WOW, WOW, WOW.

EXTRAVAGANT

I just LOVE it. The color is awesome. And look at the edges. They are just about black. They look black in the garden.

Karol Emmeriches FINIAL DESTINATION has also been reblooming and reblooming and reblooming for weeks now. Thought I would show todays flower as the slugs only did minor damage today.

Also currently blooming is Karol's BE FRUITFUL AND MULTIPLY. It opens only partway so no pictures. SHADOW OF HIS HAND is also still blooming away, again only partially open.

Stunning eye and edge on Extravagant! And those Emmerich intros just keep going like the Energizer Bunny for you. Nothing's blooming here today. I had the last bloom on Jerry Hyatt yesterday. I've a few more buds on the Stellas, and I'm waiting for Gilded Knight and Chama Valley to start reblooming. Thanks for sharing your great fall blooms!

Rita,

Another with just lucious coloring! I love the edge as well as the star like eye! I'm in the same boat as Debra.. buds but no faces showing this weekend.

I am glad your rebloom is doing so well for you! I would think that they should do even better next year!

Rita,

The coloring, eye and edge on Extravagant is just incredible. What I also like that seems to be a distinguishing feature standing out so much is the "starburst" effect with the color shooting out on the midribs from the throat to the 3 points of the dark eye.

Most definitely a stunner! Congrats on your babies blooming, and thanks for sharing the pictures! Jan G.
