Unusual July season continues

10 years ago

I rarely get rebloom on many daylilies and if they do send up scapes, the buds usually dry up and fall off due to excessive heat or I miss them because I dry up and fall out in excessive heat!!. This season I have had many rebloomers that have actually bloomed!

God's Paintbrush. This is the other side of the pic in my last post. I wanted to show it up close. The edges are better defined this year. My mother, who died several years ago, was an artist. Whenever she saw spectacular sunsets, she would aspire to capture the colors but always said it was impossible because that was God's paintbrush. As you might imagine, this lily was a sentimental purchase.

Aslan. Another lily I was not sure I would like but colors have been vibrant. Excuse the black bag. Part of my lasagna gardening- old leaves. Forgot to remove bag.

Grand Mosque with grand foot in background. This is why I appreciate you photographers so much. And a reminder to get cuter garden shoes!

Kennesaw Mountain Hayride. Still on the fence about this one.

And duh-not a daylily- but from a magnolia in my yard. I marvel at this pic every time I look at it. It does not look real. Pinky swear no photo shopping or enhancing. Just an amazing happenstance I snapped in May. With my phone!!! Sheer luck but I love it.

I really like each of those, especially Asian & Grand Mosque. God's Paintbrush is always a pretty one too. I'm curious too about Hayride, it looks very nice. That really is a great photo of your magnolia, and done with a phone. I want your shoes, you should see mine. Actually you shouldn't. My oldest worn out tennis shoes become my garden shoes. By this time of the year, they are truly looking sad. I don't know that I'm seeing extra rebloom so far, but it has been an odd season. It seems plants have done either exceptionally well, or exceptionally bad. Some plants have had rebloom & exceptional rebloom but others have had very few blooms as few as 1, very short scapes. Earlier in the season blooms were distorted, although none of that recently.

Gorgeous southern edges! God's Paintbrush has the edge plus the bitone. What causes you to withhold full endorsement of K Mountain Hayride?

Mantis, did this double post as well? I just posted and walked away. I see no way to delete posts. Am I missing something? I did email tech support and they want info but did not tell me how to delete. I also did search on this and this seems to have been a recurring question on how to delete posts. Most responses were that tech deleted for them. So if you can enlighten I would be most grateful!! This is a nuisance for me and for others to see it as well, I know! Now, as to Kennesaw Mt. Hayride-third year, bud count is still low, has not increased much but blooms are usually perfect so still debating on its future. Having said that, I rarely say goodbye to a daylily unless it is really ugly. I am fortunate in that I have the space to relegate less liked ones to other parts of the garden!

Nancy-it truly has been an unusual season for me. I rarely get rebloom. I attribute that to such early blooming on many and they just decided they were not through! I will enjoy it because next year-who knows! Maybe we need a museum for old garden shoes. :)

Nice photos, shoes and all! I don't think anybody has cute garden shoes, they all like carp because we use them all of the time!

Nice blooms and that magnolia is exquisite! LOL at your comments! I don't dry up in excessive heat, I melt into a wad of sweaty mess. Your shoes are some of the cutest garden shoes I've seen! I'm either in flip flops or old boring one colored Crocs. I did buy some leopard print Crocs a while ago, but haven't worn them yet.

Love your reblooming daylilies as well as your gorgeous magnolia. The petals look so white and waxy! Though my favorite would be God's Paintbrush.
