Tuesday's terrific temptations

7 years ago

We're have a couple of nice cool days before going into the typical mid-90s that I detest. So today I'm trying to groom the backyard gardens that are being overtaken by weeds and Bermuda grass. I'm starting to see multiple flowers on daylilies now, and that is such a blessing.

Aztec Headdress made a pretty clump this morning.

Kaleidoscopic Intrigue had two nice blooms. This one of the gardens that is overflowing with wild violets and other weeds. I did get part of it cleared out before noon.

Sweeten Creek

The Ultimate Sacrifice in the shade

and The Ultimate Sacrifice in the sun

Empire of Desire

Violet Tranquility

Bella Sera

Spacecoast Francis Busby

Seedling Sun Bear X Julie Newmar had 8 or 9 blooms today. Here are four of them.

I like the white midribs in your seedling; gives it a festive look and matches the darting throat. Ultimate Sacrifice seems to open wonderfully for you. Were these taken with a different camera, as the colors seem super saturated?

Mantis - Thanks for the comment about the seedling. The Ultimate Sacrifice has opened well of every flower. I'm using the same camera. I think the colors are looking very saturated as the result of the good rain from the weekend. The color on SC Francis Busby is the darkest I've ever seen it in three years.

My Sweeten Creek started opening blooms today. The color so far is a more saturated yellow then last year. It's 91 and humid out, so will see how colorfast it remains at the end of the day. I like Empire of Desire too. The low bud count is not to my liking but the color is good. A nice seedling also........Maryl

Maryl - The color on my Sweeten Creek seems darker, but it's cooler now than when it bloomed last summer.

Wow, another perfect set of pics. I like them all but your seedling is really impressive. I'm still weeding beds but the rain shut me down today and cool temps for tomorrow with predictions only into the upper 50's which we haven't seen that low for weeks here.

I must have missed this thread yesterday, another great group of daylilies. Love Kaleidoscopic Intrique, such an interesting pattern. I am liking Ultimate Sacrifice more every time I see it, & Spacecoast Francis Busby is very nice too. I must be going through another red with edge phase. Last time I was in a red phase though, it was for a darker red.

Nancy - I've been going through a red with edge phase for three years. I also seem to be in an orange with edge phase. LOL

Thanks everyone for the comments!
