More multi blooms

9 years ago

Hopefully these will post without issue. One more day of good weather before they predict rain will move in again. It seems the hot, hot temps some of you are having will not reach us here in Upstate NY. Some of these are EMO (early morning openers) here in my garden.

CANTER - it has such a nice edge on it for a yellow daylily.

EARTH AND ALL STARS - always open in the morning. I'm almost afraid to move it to a new location.

INCA PUZZLE - still going here. It has had a few splotchy blooms and it is not a early morning opener.

HALF MOON KEY - another one that recently has had splotchy blooms.

JAMAICAN LOVE - got out of the canoeing. Not an early morning opener.

MEAN GREEN - just keeps going here. Behind is What's Up Down South. Both are early morning openers.

LAVENDER BLUE BABY - small bloom but keeps a decent scape height. Not too tall and not short.

WINTER TREASURE - early morning opener. Half Moon Key in the background,Enter Laughing to right and Light Of The World in the foreground.

THUNDERCAT - can't remember if it is open early or not.I think it is. Just wish it was taller but only 2nd year here and last year was a bust with the weather.

ROCKS CRY OUT - started out splotchy but then did just fine. It is almost finished blooming here.

Posting more in the comments......

PINK WHIP TIPS - not showing pink but more lavender this season. Joshua Slocum is behind it.

SELF DETERMINATION - usually open in the morning.

Some other pics.

I forget the name of the lily but it is really tall.

These are the Cheyenne Spirit coneflowers that I have planted on each side of the bench.This was from Graceful Gardens last year as seedlings and they came back just fine. I don't know the individual names but they are reds, orange/red, a light yellow to cream and yellow. Hoping to take some of the seedlings to other garden areas. Rubeckia Prairie Sun (not sure if spelled that correctly) is also in the pics.

Time to go make dinner.

Your pictures are dazzling me. What a nice yellow in Canter. One of my top yellows is another Rice called Googies. It's just superb. I will have to check out this other yellow of hers. That is a great picture of it. Yellows are so hard to photograph, usually bleaching out on film. Was this taken in the early early AM?.....There isn't one in this group of daylilies I wouldn't love to have in my garden. I'll be coming back again when I have more time to exam them more fully. Love the landscape scenes also.......Maryl

Maryl: It was taken on July 15 at 3:24pm according to the photo info. My camera dates and time stamps so when they load into the Mac Photo library, they have the info from the camera stored. Our temps have stayed within the low 80's since it started blooming. I think your temps are much higher.

I like Earth and All Stars and always like Half Moon Key but all are lovely. And I love the garden pics!! Did your Prairie Sun come back this year? I know some Rudbeckia can be iffy and sometimes I have varieties that don't. Beautiful photos.

Fantastic photos! Love the companion plants, you have beautiful groupings. Nice shot of Earth and All Stars. Other favorites include Mean Green, Lavender Blue Baby, Thundercat, and Rocks Cry Out.

It's been a great year for coneflowers. After seeing your picture of the whole plant, I decided to give Inca Puzzle another year.

What gorgeous clumps! It's so hard to pick a favorite, but the white edge on Earth and All Stars tips the balance for me. Have you had that one long? The color in your photo is so much prettier than the hybridizer's. I love the look of Inca Puzzle with that coneflower in the corner. All your coneflowers have done well. I was shocked at how well mine multiplied in one year. For years, purple coneflowers struggled and died in the heavy clay of the backyard. But they seem to thrive in the lighter, dryer soil in the front. I'm thinking of adding a Pow Wow Wild Berry with them.

Debra: I got Earth And All Stars from Korth late spring in 2013. The pic I posted was taken just before 8 am on July 18th. I've noticed that when we have rain and cool overnight temps it is deeper in color. I'll have to take notice of how it shows later in the day but here, our afternoon temps only get to the low-mid 80's. Purple coneflowers flourish here to the point of being invasive if I don't move the seedling to new spots.

Kate: Yes, Prairie Sun comes back and reseeds as well. As soon as blooms die completely, I cut the head off and leave them near the mother plant. I also keep it mulched but not overly amount. Trial and error.

Brad: Mean Green is very deep in color during the mornings and will lighten by the afternoon. Extreme hot temps (90's plus) may make it fade faster if it is in full sun all day. Anyone who grows it in what I consider a very hot climate should pick a spot that provides some afternoon partial shade.

mantis: Have you posted pics of Inca Puzzle? What doesn't it do well for you? Here I think it is up to 10 or more fans.

Julia and Mantis: Inca Puzzle also performs very well for me in a not so desirable spot.

Julia: I really do like Earth And All Stars.

Mean Green and Whats Up Down South. Love it! Earth and All Stars and Lavender Blue Baby are beautiful. I really like the Coneflowers. They are just beautiful. I may try some in a different area, but probably won't be successful because I managed to get an aster virus that attacks them as well. Yours inspire me to give it a try anyway.
