Blooms from NC

8 years ago

Catching up with some more blooms from the past week.

BANG BANG - nice bright colors, does fade by the end of the day (gets lots of afternoon sun)

HOW BEAUTIFUL HEAVEN MUST BE - noticeable increase in bud count this year

WISPY RAYS - does not reach its registered height of 36” but the shorter works fine for the spot it is planted

BRIGHT EYED AND BUSHY TAILED

FACEPAINT - excited to add this one last fall. Very pretty bloom.

I CAN’T STOP LOVING YOU - much higher bud/scape count this year. The color looks kind of slick/faded by the end of the day, but it gets sun all afternoon.

SHERRY CANDY - has done well in my garden.

SPINY SEA URCHIN - bonus plant

DR JULES MICHAEL VINKMAN - I have wanted this daylily for a while and added it last fall. Love the color.

ART ATTACK - I added this daylily on a whim last summer and it has been such a pleasant surprise. The blooms are huge, and have consistently measured close to 8 inches in my garden. Love this one.


I will add more pictures in the comments.

    Oooh! Dr. Jules Michael Vinkman is wonderful! I also added it last fall but mine is not blooming yet. I hope mine will look as good. I think several of us bought it from Laura. I also love Sherry Candy and I Can't Stop Loving You.

    I didn't know more were on the way. I'm partial to all your dark-eyed beauties in the second post. Which of the dark eyed/edges ones would you say is the best performer, and which one of those could you not live without?

    Thanks Debra! As far as my best performer, I would say Kingdom Border so far, but that could also be because I have had it since Fall 2015. I think Brave Kemo Sabe has the potential, but still too new to evaluate. I started growing daylilies in 2015, so I feel like most of them are only beginning to hit their stride. I love the dark eye/edge look. I’ll pick Brave Kemo Sabe as the one I can’t live without but that answer might change next year!

    My favorite has got to be How Beautiful Heaven Must be. Both the daylily and the sentiment...............Maryl

    Brave Kemo Sabe is my favorite, Both Face Paint and Sbine Bauer will just get better the longer you have them. I like your Art Attack, and Bang Bang is a cheerful one nad I like the name....it goes well with the colors and pattern.

    Wispy Rays is always shorter here too, though some say it is close to registered height for them. Yours looks particularly short this year, or is that just the picture perspective? Sabine Baur looks below the foliage; have not had that. Art Attack looks splendid. It is not an easy one to grow. Sherry Candy does grow here, but the bud count is meager.

    I too like the dark eyed ones in the second post. Dr Jules Michael Vinkman is also a favorite. It has been in our garden for several years and does very well here.

    Add me to the list of folks who bought Dr. Jules from Laura this past fall. None of us could resist her photos! If mine blooms this summer I will be so happy. Of your others, Art Attack and Bang Bang have those bright colors that catch my eye today. And your Sherry Candy looks good enough to eat!

    Thanks for commenting everyone!

    Mantis, my Wispy Rays is short this year.

    I also just found a photo from last year and it was short then too.

    The bud count has increased this year. Will see how it does next year!

    I've never had Wispy Rays that short! Knock on wood.

    Lori, I laughed when I saw your post and thought that we have a great many "alikes" in the edge/eye category and then realized that many of them were even the same color and then saw we had many of the same lilies. Then I saw where you had written the same thought on my recent post! I may have to look into Brave Kemo Sabe since it falls into that category!! Do I not remember that you also have Thomas Tew?

    Nice group. Art Attack is one I've not seen before. Interesting color.

  • 8 years ago

    Art Attack is the one that REALLY caught my eye among all these great photos. Very different color with a large flower, I am all for it. But then someone said it is not an easy one to grow? Guess I should stay away from it

  • 8 years ago

    Art attack is my favorite today! So many purple eyed beauties here! Prince of Persia May be the winner. Clown Parade always looks great.
