Getting back to normal on Saturday

9 years ago

We're getting back to normal here. We did some hybridizing and took some pictures. We spent the rest of the day chopping up pine tree and moving the pieces. We're not sure yet what daylilies survived.

Ashwood Inferno is a fairly late bloomer.

Beachlands is a club plant, bred in the south. It has survived one winter but time will tell whether or not it is hardy.

But Wait, There's More is a great grower in our garden.

Deborah Cooney is a nice late variety.

Hathaway Cottage is new to the garden.

Keystone Fangs A Lot was putting on a show this morning.

Last Man Standing is a nice late variety. It's a wonderful grower in our garden.

Purify My Heart has the whitest background of any we grow.

It's hard to get a good picture of Ruby Grandeur. The color is much richer and much less scarlet than this picture shows.

Ruby Lipstick is almost yellow in my garden. It never looks as good as the pictures some of you post of it.

More to come . . .

So Beautiful to Me looked fabulous today.

St. Louis Blues is a new intro from Bob Faulkner. Unlike so many of his, this one is a tet.

Techny Peach Lace was a bouquet this morning.

Many of the seedlings are about done for the year, but we do have a few later blooming ones still going. Here is the Seedling Queen of the Garden for today. It is Fear Not X Home of the Free.

Ruby Grandeur has been especially lustrous this year. Ruby Lipstick has actually looked good this year. Low light photos make it look more white, but yours actually looks more yellow than mine this year. What is your favorite of the yellow daylilies with teeth? Rice has a few, I know. There is Shattered Glass and Pins and Needles. Which do you prefer?

Ashwood Inferno and your seedling are my faves of this bunch.

Mantis, we don't grow Shattered Glass. My favorite of the pure yellow toothies would be Forestlake Point Lace.

If you consider the yellow blends, my favorite would be Lemon Fringed Pastel.

Both are excellent growers in our garden.

Glad things are getting more routine there and the worst is over. I am liking all your yellows especially today (they look so sunny and happy) and I also like So Beautiful to Me. I grow Techny Peach Lace and it has never been vigorous here. Lemon Fringed Pastel....oh wow!

Those fringed ones are certainly distinctive. But I'm going to tell you truthfully that I like your seedling best.

Glad things are getting back to normal for you, and you even got to do some hybridizing - yay!

Put me down to buy that seedling when you introduce it. I really, really like it. It is my pick of all of the blooms today and you have some gorgeous one. I really like the bloom on Beachlands and But Wait, There's more is so pretty in the clump. Keystones Fangs A Lot is so pretty and I like the name as well. Remember, I am serious about that seedling.

Kay, thanks for the compliments on the seedling. It's in its second year and we have selected it for further evaluation. It will be many years until we can sell it if it even makes the grade.

The seedling beds survived with little damage, maybe just some name tags blown over. The section of the bed that was hit by the pine tree is simply crushed. The name tags are all mangled, but fortunately, about two weeks ago we made a map of that very bed. We'll see how daylilies survive that kind of treatment. If they don't, they can all be replaced.

Glad that your seedling beds survived with little damage and things are starting to get back to normal. Lovely collection of blooms. Beachlands, Purify My Heart, and Techny Peace Lace are my favorites. Your seedling is also very striking.

Yellow with teeth - one of our club plants is The Midas Bite (Korth) - teeth on petals and sepals.
