Flowers from Friday

When my second group starts blooming, I know the season is moving on. I have so many plans for the largest of the day-lily areas for fall. I may yet add two or three, but several, mostly duplicates are leaving.

Handwriting on the wall decided to do a group shot today:(Emperor's Elephant at top)

You many get very tired of these since I love them and their colors are so dramatic, but Neon Flamingo and Catastrophe Waitress:

A favorite Munson, Inca Prince:

Not an FFO, but the first time I have posted it this year, Ranger Bob:

Time for an FFO My much appreciated Bear Claws:

Another one that is fun in the garden is Keep on Looking:

I have a plant that always bloomed amazingly, then, I took part of it and sent it to someone. The plant went into a sulk like someone else posted about (Nan?) and would not bloom at all for the next two or three years. Mona Loa:

Haven't posted a shot of her yet, but my plant, Remembering Elizabeth is blooming away as usual:

Liege AND Lief has started blooming:

And today's yard shot:

There were other clumps, but most of them I have posted before, Like Rose F Kennedy and Deliverer Black Falcon Ritual, Rambunctious Rosie and so on. Blooming should soon begin to slow down even with the lates and
medium lates to go. Then the big changes will come. In the meantime, the mulching and weeding continues.

Bear Claws and Keep On Looking are both attractive, but I think Handwriting on the Wall is my favorite today. You can't beat a beautiful bloom multiplied. The clumps of Neon Flamingo and Catastrophe Waitress are standouts too!

Keep on Looking looks a lot like Happy Happy, is it related? It's hard for me to tell them apart from the posts, like them both. The group shots are nice today, love doll of that bright pink!

Another nice group. Bear Claw and Inca Prince appeal to me, as does the quieter color of Remembering Elizabeth.........Maryl

Beautiful pics Kay. Catastrophe Waitress and Neon Flamingo standout but Inca Prince pops. I gave myself a break for a couple of days from weeding as my hands need a rest.

Kay, these are all looking so good! I like Inca Prince but I like Munsons. Your edge on Keep on Looking is so much stronger and wider than mine. Here is mine.

Thank you everyone for looking and commenting. I imagine they are kin, Sherry. Same hybridizer. Kate, Your Keep on Looking doesn't appear to be totally open...the edges do look different. Mine came from Bill Maryott. And that bed with Inca Prince is all Munsons plus I have another row of them.

Kay, mine came from Bill as well. It is so funny that we are neighboring states and yet our lilies can look so different! I remember your Aslan looking so much paler than mine. Weather, soil and so many other factors are involved I am sure. I hope my edge evolves more like yours on this lily. As is, it looks like a lot of others!!

Inca Prince looks much like Matchless Fire. Your pics of Neon Flamingo have given me confidence that it was a good idea to pick it up. Just hope it grows as well as yours. Some have complained that it is a slow multiplier.

Mantis, if your Neon Flamingo does anything like mine, you will be very happy with it, I believe.
