Friday's Flowers

8 years ago

Well, my first rather long post didn't go through so I guess I'll start all over. I'll put a couple of pictures here and the rest in the comments.

I thought I'd take a few clump shots today.

Impressionist Sky likes to show off and show several nice blooms all facing the same way.

I know I have posted Daddy's Heart before but this clump was so pretty I had to post it again.

I'll put the rest in the comments.

Bite Me is having a good hair day--no splotches.

Heavenly Dark Knight has its ffe today.

Light Forbes is more orange than the picture shows. It is a big flower on a short scape.

Lighter Than Air has a nice applique, but I don't like the muddy base color.

Royal Renaissance is a rather small flower.

Bob picked Sheila Broughton. I has terrible registered stats--18 inches tall and 10 buds. The color is actually better than the picture shows, but we have seedling prettier than it. It's on my hit list.

Stabia is a little more violet than the picture shows (I was lazy and used the cell phone camera rather than the Nikon).

Wickedly Wild and Wonderful, which doesn't really like our climate, is having its best year ever after a terrible winter. Go figure!

Bob decided that the Seedling Queen of the Garden is Tom Adams X Purple Peek-a-boo. It's a rather unique color. I would describe it as red violet with a darker eye and edge.

We have a Seedling Princess of the Garden too today. I have been working on getting teeth or gold edges on tet. miniatures and small flowered ones. This one opening today seems to be just what I am looking for. It was a little hard to get a good picture as the flower seems to glow from within. You can't see it in the picture, but there is a definite gold metallic edge. This is Daddy's Heart X Spacecoast Perfect Angel. It also has good height, branching and bud count.

That's all for today.

Glad you posted Daddy’s Heart again, that’s a lovely shot! And look at all those fat buds.

I like that gold seedling, Nancy! It is a beautiful color and the edges are really nice. Your clump shots are lovely and both Wickedly Wild and wonderful and Bite Me look so good.

Impressionist Sky is much more cooperative than my plants. I think mine are always having family squabbles, every one looking a different direction as far apart ad they can get. Wickedly Wild and Wonderful is really eye grabbing. Nice seedlings again!

I like Heavenly Dark Night. Such a pure color. My garden is having is best year in I don't know how long. Tall scapes, lots of buds. We are having an early bloom season. Several plants I purchased this spring are putting up scapes.

dick_in_ohio.......you must be getting all the rain before it gets to us. I have scapes all over the place but they are short and skinny due to lack of rain . I think I give up . I work my tush off to weed and edge and plant and then get no rain, zip, zero , zilch . It is so frustrating . Being on a well I water as much as I can but it just doesn't cut it . We had no rain today , none for tomorrow and Sunday is predicted to be a possible 40 celcius . The drying winds don't help either . Funny although the winds blow like h e double hockey sticks all day long at night the air is so still you couldn't get a flag to even flutter.

About ready to toss in the towel.

My favorite is the clump of Daddy's Heart. Bite Me is also a standout. Great edges on both the seedling!

Well for once I am happy the weather guesserators were wrong again , or maybe it was just me threatening to toss in the towel but whatever the reason I am happy to report it is raining outside. Not particularly heavily , maybe hard enough to wash the dust off the plants but at least it is something . I have my fingers crossed it rains all day and night but I will take what I can get and say " thank you dick_ in_ohio for sending some of that wet stuff our way.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "

Today I have Orangutan, Wild Horses , Stella d'oro (does that one count?) and Black Eyed Stella in bloom in June. Never ever have seen that happen in June in all the years I have been growing daylilies with the exceptions of Stella and Blackeyed Stella. Will have to try to get pictures later .
