More openers

9 years ago

I still have about 4 daylilies by my last count, that have not opened yet here. Coral Majority, Piedmont Paleface, Rouen Cathedral and Summertime Idyll. I'm sure I am missing more that are in the holding bed.

These were FFO's over a couple of days including today.

EVIDENCE OF ALIENS - moved it last fall to the redo bed but this year it has not sent up a lot of scapes. One of my favorites for its "wind tunnel" appearance.

ITZA PINK TEDDY - Second pic is a closeup of another bloom from this clump. Much deeper color than the other side of the clump showing a lighter color.

TAHITI SWEETIE - appears to have varying colors of red. tall, not a lot of scapes but it is the second full season for it.

THE HOLO DECK - looks a lot like Curt's other daylilies. On my keep or go list.

LAURA HARWOOD - sorry all but it will be its last year here. In the foliage here and these are the best of the first FFO's.

VISIONS OF GLORY - time for it to go. needs a warmer zone.

SPARTACUS ADORNED - finally a decent opener

and will close with a couple of fun photos of nature in the garden. I did not realize there was a worm on the salvia with the bee until I loaded the photo.

Your daylilies always look so good. Sparticus Adorned and Itza Pink Teddy (which looks more lavender?) are at the top of my list. I like the color on Evidence of Aliens too...........Maryl

Laura was funky here for a while too, but has gotten back into shape.

Great photos again! I have Itza Pink Teddy, it's shaping up nicely here, just finished its second season. Spartacus Adorned looks nice, not a good performer?

Beautiful pictures. I hate that Laura Harwood doesn't do well there, as it is a really good one here. Evidence of Aliens is my favorite of all the lovlies.

Thanks all for the comments.

It's raining very heavy here with some thunder thrown in. A Flash Flood Warning Alert came up on my cell phone about 20 minutes ago and will be in effect for the next 2 hours.. I hope this drowns those beetles.

Maryl: I think it looks like a cross of pink and lavender this year. It may be all the rain we have gotten here this year. I may have posted prior years pics in this forum.

Sherry: Spartacus Adorned hasn't done well this year as 90% of the blooms fail to open fully in the morning so it may be the much cooler overnight temps (low 60's). But our daytime highs have been in the 80's. I don't often do late morning or afternoon pics since I'm busy with other things. It has been here probably at minimum 4 years. I think maybe Spartacus might like a climate where the overnight temps stay in the 70's or higher. Just my opinion.

mantis and Kay: I have had Laura Harwood for several years and it opens but most times it will be splotchy or down in the foliage here. It is in a good location. Lots of scapes and buds but just isn't worth taking up space here. I usually give a plant a couple of years to settle in. This one has had more than enough time to straighten out. This is just how it is here. Others seem to do well with it.

Spartacus Adorned would have been my choice, but your thought that maybe it needs a warmer clime gives me pause. Hope everything makes it through the rain OK. "Batten down the hatches!"
