No Rain and two FFEs Today

8 years ago

It was wonderful to have a good bloom day with no rain. There are clumps everywhere, but I want to show you the two newest bloomers.

FFE: Senator Edward M Kennedy...hope the red improves, because this isn't my idea of red....but it is a first bloom: (It is not to listed height yet either.)


This one I actually really like and I will show you both front and back on it . FFE: Pink Tarantula
And back view:

Lady Jane Pearcy is a pretty bloom, but especially pretty in a clump...Note there are weeds and the rain has nourished them. This is bed where tree came down.
The garden in front looks pretty good today:


Greenhouse row has FFO: South Seas, Black Falcon Ritual a few others and ends with Stealth Bomber


This view down the back shows quite a few of the plants on Iris Row...In this end, Integrated Logistics, Whistler's Sister and Ranger Bob will be a pretty grouping in a year or so.

    Gardens look lovely even after all your rain! As a southern writer once said, this green is a "greasy green" after that kind of rain!! And look at all your buds yet to come. Love the clump shots. Really pretty.

    Thank you. It was fun to be able to take phtos without having to wait for the downpour to pass. It is always fun to see new ones open for the first time too. It is so funny how my tastes in daylilies have changed, Kate and Brad. Originally the "Bagels" were all I wanted. Now, the only ones I don't have are doubles and a couple of those have even caught my eye. I have a new one soaking right now; Hotter Than The Fourth of July. Not sure where it will live yet.

    Your garden is still so beautiful, I wish mine looked half as good. I like the look of Pink Tarantula, but if the edges of that 1st one is supposed to be more red, I think that will be a great one. Every year I think I don't need any more plants, but I come here and see so many I am not sure I can do without.

    Green with envy again, how beautiful everything is. Your Stealth Bomber is the reason I bought it, wish it looked like yours. Lady Jane Pearcy is one I like, do you have many of Paul Owen's hybrids? That back view of Pink Tarantula is great, what a surprise to see white. In the last photo, is that Sweet Isabel in front?

    Thank you all for looking and commenting.Nancy, I feel that way I always feel whem I see other peoples gardens.It is one of the things I really like ; the inspiration to add things you love; Count on it...my garden has to keep growing because of the beautiful things posted here. Julia, Mean Green had its first bloom Yesterday and Hot Tamales and Red Hots are blooming now too. Laura, group shots are always my favorite, along with clump shots. Avedon, I think I have only two of Paul's but there is another one I had and lost that I will replace. I also have one of his that was released in his and my name in honor of my mother; Remembering Elizabeth. Yes, that is Sweet Isabella, and green with envy is what I am when you post some of your beauties...you thankfully told me where to get Jan Sun and I am waiting for her first bloom. It has been so much fun to see the new ones and to see the plants that were re-homed taking off in their new sitution.

    Great eye candy Kay In the view "Greenhouse row " what is the name of the very last red clump ? It just screams "LOOK AT ME" . I love it . Both Senator Edward M Kennedy and Pink Tarantula are going on my "gotta have " list maybe the other one in the greenhouse row picture once I know its name . Kay you are quite the enabler LOL !
