Wednesday's Blooms

9 years ago

We had a camera disaster and lost lots of pictures today. These are the few we salvaged. We still don't know what happened. We were using a new SD card.

I think this is the best picture we have ever gotten of Mary's Baby. Sometimes it looks too violet in pictures and other times it looks too blue.

Bengal Teeth was planted late this spring. I hope the color gets more saturated.

Pagan Ritual is one of our favorite reds. The color is much better than this pictures shows.

Tet. Super Purple is doing well this year.

Sam Abell is one of our favorite Norris intros.

I lost the picture of the seedling Queen today, so I had to take the picture with my phone. The color is just a tad more pink than it really is. This is Chomp X Ruffled Strawberry Parfait.

A short post for me today.

Tet Super Purple looks nice and dark. Great throat color and is that a pattern I see in the throat?.......Pretty good capture of Mary's Baby's color. It does tend more towards the maroon side here, but almost all "purple" daylilies are really some shade of maroon in my climate. If the temperature is cooler (a rarity when Mary blooms) she can get a lovely black velvet effect to her petals. She's blooming her head off right now and has been for well over a weeks Can you tell she is one of my favorites?............Maryl

Sam Abell really had an edge for you. Pagan Ritual looks good even if it is better than the picture. Some mornings, Mary's Baby is quite bluish purple, but I think it changes during the day, depending on the weather.

Pagan Ritual just bloomed for me this past week - I like it. Sam Abell is on my top 10 list for great garden flowers - always open well, lots of flowers, vigorous, I could go on.

Great picture of Sam Abell! That one is near the top of my want list. After reading Dick's feedback this one may have moved to the top of my list. My other favorites include Mary's Baby and your seedling queen.
