A beginning with two FFE!

8 years ago

last modified: 8 years ago

I have two FFE in the garden today, a nice way to start the season! Christine Dixon is first, I added this one last spring, not growing in an ideal spot like most of my Daylilies. The flowers are big 7” today. I thought these blooms would open yesterday, not surprised to see a little splotch under the circumstances. It is soooooo hot and humid today.

Storm Shelter was just added this spring. I think I’m going to like this one, I don’t have any daylilies with this color of rose, it will be interesting to see the Color on blooms to come.

Had to add my Huldine clematis, added to the garden late last summer.

What a lot of growth on your clematis in less than a year! Must be happy in that location. Storm Shelter is a good grower.

Storm Shelter is gorgeous! I love the colors! That clematis must be really happy where you have it planted. I can't believe how tall it grew in just one year!

Two good ones, love the color of both. That clematis is totally terrific, especially growing so much in that short a period of time.

Thanks, all! CD is definitely shorter than stats say it should be, for the first season I can’t complain, blooms are close to the 7-8 “ they should be. I can’t believe how big the clematis got its first season here either, if you look close you can see one Lavender bloom, Josephine clematis on an adjoining trellis. I have daylilies giving the clematis shady roots.

Sherry, my Huldine is blooming like yours, with Perle de Azur mixed in. I love clematis and have way too many. Wish I could say my daylilies were doing as well this year. Just starting to bloom. We are in a drought here and it's hard to keep everything watered.
