Today's flowers

10 years ago

Happy 4th, everyone!

Overcast morning (and day) today and such nice saturated colors, but not always so in my pics :)

Everything is so early this year, I have most of my daylilies blooming and even some kinda lates too. They are also sooo big this year, most of my 'paths' are gone, there are lots I can't reach not only to deadhead but to even take a pic :(

Russian Ragtime, almost done

    Thought 10 was the limit, hmm. I'll post a few more here and some reds and whites on their thread :)

    Via Dolorosa that was my first daylily this season (on last year scapes) now blooming again

    I need to use these nice not so hot and humid days to go count buds, by the looks of it this one seems to have a lot

    Battle of Jericho

    American Doll

    Tim Kornder

    Might not get another nice flower on that one so - Mighty Fortress

    My tallest this year - Forty Days and Forty Nights

    FFO on Guilded Appeal

    and Forsyth Frostbound

    TFL!

    Wow! I didn't know Wren's Song had teeth like that. Very neat! Your Shores of Time bloom looks so perfect. I envy you having all those buds on it. Mine did not bloom well this time - only fan scaped and it was short with only 7 or 8 buds. Your clump of Forty Days and Forty Nights is magnificent. I hope mine will look like that when it grows up. Christopher Moody looks fab. Is that one growing well for you now?

    I really like Forsyth Frostbound, such delicate colors. That's a great clump of Forty days and Forty Nights, I'm not sure I remember seeing that one until now. I also like Sherry Lane Carr, I like the white midrib on the yellow. All are really nice!

    Thanks so much everyone!

    Mantis, Via Dolorosa is a big flower and of course YT is huge (love it). American Doll is.. surviving :) 2 fans, and 2 scapes one of which was broken by a walnut. It's ok though.

    I have some noticeably short scapes, sometimes a plant will have normal and short scapes, not a lot though. I have my usual share of bud drop and splotchiness though, not to mention tangled blooms, which bothers me more than scape height.

    Thanks Debra! Yes, Wren's Song does sometimes, and it's so tall, love it :) Oh, SOT has its usual 8-10 buds, it just has more scapes this year and opens well so far (knock on wood :D) Christopher Moody is doing pretty well, I don't remember having problems with it. Not as big of a plant but I prefer that.

    Thanks Brad! I admit I love all my DLs lol

    Thanks Sherry! Oh I post 40 days a lot :D :D Yes finally got a good pic of Sherry Lane Carr it always gets too washed out in my photos.

    Thanks Maryl! I love pinks too! And purples, and whites and reds etc ;)

    Your pictures are beautiful, so clear. Yellow Titan, Russian Ragtime, Forty Days and Forty Nights, and Forsyth Frostbound are my picks of this group.

    Thanks! My (very old) camera was acting up so badly this morning :( I really don't want to get a new one because all the modern ones take humongous pics that take too much room and I take a lot of pics ;)

    Wren's Song is lovely. That is a gorgeous clump of forty days and forty nights. I like the color on Tim Kornder, Forsyth's Frostbound is so delicate. Nice posting.

    Lovely pinks, I almost bought Wren's Song a couple of times & talked myself out of it. Drat! Shores of Time is so pretty too.

    I grabbed a dried-up single fan at a plant sale last year - marked Shores Of Time. I had my doubts but sure enough. I love that flower.
