Three good blooms today!

9 years ago

Hemstitched had a nice bloom today, it has had a bit of trouble opening. Today's is pretty good!

Cheese and Wine had its first bloom today and it's a great one. Looks like I got lucky with this daylily. It's on it's third season her and it looks great! Tall scapes, tons of buds and tall lush foliage. It's one of the few I have that didn't succumb to the crumby weather.

Real Wind had its first bloom today, it's a few weeks early. This is my favorite oldie. The color is so luscious but hard to capture. I love the big raspberry eye and orange sherbet self.

Sherry, I always follow your posts since I am in the same zone. Today I bought Real Wind on my visit to Vermont Flower Farm & Garden. It has such a pretty color.

I like Cheese and Wine too. I also like wine and cheese - a merlot and a sharp cheddar.

Hemstitched is lovely, but Cheese and Wine is striking! I have never seen it, and I like it.

Wine and Cheese is a Carter intro that is only 22" high. There is also a Longfield's Cheese and Wine. How confusing!

Sherry, is your Cheese and Wine really named Longfields Cheese and Wine by Heemskerk? Whatever its name, it's a real beauty. I also like the edge on Hemstitched. What an appropriate name!

Nan, you are correct. I purchased Cheese and Wine at my local favorite nursery in 2015. "Longfields" was not on any of the information I had when I purchased it. Heemskerk is a hybridizer in the Netherlands. This season I purchased another Heemskerk daylily called Magic Dancer at the same nursery. It's just as lovely in a different way.

That clarifies why I can't find Cheese and Wine in the AHS Registration Database.
