Thursday Blooms

9 years ago

It's absolutely nasty outside today--muggy with no breeze at all and temperatures to get in the low 90's. I managed to get a few pictures today and pollinated about 80 flowers.

This is one of my favorite lates. It is actually more purple than the pictures shows. It is Never Too Late and is actually registered as very late.

We don't grow many dips, but we had to have Daniel Howard Norris when it was introduced. It has big flat flowers with a huge throat.

Belle Curve was a bonus plant from Paul Owen. I didn't think I would like it (it's not my favorite color), but it's beginning to grow on me. The flowers are a nice clear color and it's quite large too.

Borders on Bordeaux is putting on a show today.

I know I posted a picture of Last Man Standing yesterday, but I had to post this one because the color is truer in this picture.

Gaudy Gaudy is a favorite yellow.

Janet's Magic is doing well this year.

Spoons for Escargots was a bonus. It's not really my thing. It's not the form I object to, but I think the color is dull.

Victoria Lynette is doing well.

I know I have posted Wandering Werribee before, but it's on its rebloom scape so I had to post it again. We are really liking this one.

More to come . . .

    Most of the seedlings has finished blooming, but this seedling in on a rebloom scape. I posted a picture of this one a few day ago, but this rebloom scape is rather interesting. The flowers are larger and have more of a pinched look on rebloom. This is Velvet Eyes X Unknown.

      You have some really nice lates. The Last Man Standing clump is fabulous, and the Velvet Eyes seedling is especially nice. It's great that it reblooms. The other seedling has a super edge, and the rebloom makes it even more valuable.

      Some really,nice ones today! I do really,like your seedling, the shape is a little out of the ordinary, those small differences are always nice. I'm a fan of Its Never too Late, especially because it's a late bloomer

      Ohhh. I just fell in love with Daniel Howard Norris. Does it ever rebloom for you?...Janet's Magic is my second favorite of this group and Gaudy Gaudy is already on my long list..........Maryl

    • 9 years ago

      Maryl, we have had Daniel Howard Norris for a couple of years and it has not rebloomed for us. I noticed that rebloom is not listed in the registration with the AHS.

      How does Daniel Howard Norris perform overall for you? Does it open flat and then recurve slightly? From the pic it doesn't look flat. Nice photo of it.


    • 9 years ago

      Thanks Nancy- Daniel Howard Norris is a real beauty. It really got my attention. I'll have to think about it though with a 16 Bud Count.......Did I miss your Butter Me Up by Derrow? Did it bloom for you this year?.............Maryl

    • 9 years ago

      Maryl, Butter Me Up did bloom, but I just didn't get a picture.

      Julia, I would say your description of Daniel Howard Norris is correct. It's not totally flat, but it doesn't have that total recurve that some of Norris's dips do like Evidence of Aliens. As far as performance is concerned, we have been very happy. It's made a nice clump in the fews years we have had it. I can't tell you the bud count, and to be honest, we don't get very good bud count on most of our plants. We think that's due to our poor soil.

      Lovely group! Your seedling is really nice! Daniel Howard Norris, Victoria Lynette, and Wandering Werribee also catch my eye.

      Wonderful blooms. I especially like Borders on Bordeaux and the first one.

    • 9 years ago

      I need Never too Late, I NEED more lates & that is a pretty one. I like Daniel Howard Norris, rather reminds me of Christmas is, which I really love the look, but a terrible daylily. At least it is here. Great clump of Last Man Standing too.

    • 9 years ago

      Daniel Howard Norris is really a pretty one. Like your seedling.
      Wandering Werribee catches my eye because I like orange so much. A beauty!
