A few late bloomers

9 years ago

It rained here this morning, just enough to make it super humid. I didn't get any pictures taken, except these four with my phone.

Ruffled Strawberry Parfait is a great addition to the late garden.

Last Man Standing is another great late bloomer. It is more scarlet than this pictures shows. It's a hard dormant. I though it was dead this year because it was so late coming up. It has made a huge clump.

Raggedy Man is another of our favorite lates. It just started blooming.

Gay Activist is more pink today than it should be. It is registered with a description of "bright grenadine persimmon" (whatever than means). This is its ffo even though it is not a late bloomer. Its earlier scapes blasted but then we got a rebloom scape.

That's all for today.

    This is what Gay Activist looked like last year. It's not a very good picture, but you can see the color is more like the color in the picture in the AHS database. Maybe it's the weather making it so pink.
