Will post a few--perhaps

8 years ago

I have been unable to post for several weeks. I have gone to comments and added some pictures so will attempt to do that now. I might add that frustration takes most of the fun out of doing this!!

    Clump walk today. Labyrinth, Golden Child, Entwined in the Vine, and Citrix peeping out from the bottom.

    Beautiful, Kate! Clumps shots always wow me, and yours are great. Elegant Candy just bloomed a day or 2 ago, but jumped right in. I have Wineberry and custard candy too, Elegant is my favorite because of the color, but they are such good bloomers. Entwined in the Vine is on my list, such a good looking plant!

    Thanks Nancy. It would not let me add another one even on comment. This will probably be my last post until they get this fixed. I will just comment on others' posts. This has been so frustrating and to me, unnecessary. Time is way too valuable to do this!!!

    Beautiful clumps! Kate I am so sorry the deer destroyed that beauty, but glad they didn't get Entwined In The Vine. Entwined in the vine is mt pick (of course) but Golden Child is also beautiful truly beautiful..

    All of those clumps are fabulous. The place where you have Entwined in the Vine, Golden Child, and Labyrinth must have some super good soil to grow clumps that large and vibrant. It is frustrating dealing with the photo problems. I had been lucky the previous two days. But today the first time I had loaded five photos and was trying to load the sixth when the screen flipped up, and the whole post disappeared. That was a new wrinkle in this series of kinks. Then it wouldn't let me post any photos at all. It does take the fun out of it. But thanks for persisting. I really enjoyed seeing these!

    WOW! I'm impressed by all of them!

  • 8 years ago

    Walked away from computer. So will try again. Thanks all, I hate this problem. We all have such beauties to share. And, as Maryl said, I think, right in the middle of many peak times. Let's see if it will let me post a couple more. I have one I really wanted to show Heather and Alex since they appreciate the unusual. And, Debra, I cannot fathom that kind of wrinkle!

    Paco Bell. Shows yellow in morning and then fades to this later in the day. Of course, it is in partial shade or it would have totally faded into nothing in this heat!
    For Heather and Alex. No idea what this is. But it has that veining on it like you like, Alex. Height is good, blooms are huge and beautiful. I am going to refer to it like a vendor I once bought from. BBU. Beautiful But Unknown.
    Great Balls of Fire

    I will stop now. Won't push any more luck!

    I agree with Dave, all your daylilies just look superb. It's going to be awful to think you won't be posting individually, but please tag onto mine if you want to. Certainly, we can all sympathize with your frustration with HOUZZ since we all have gone through this, too. Maybe soon they will wake up and fix this mess.

    Kate what size are your pictures ?

  • 8 years ago

    Oh Kate.....sorry about your posting problems but thank you for persisting and wowing us with your clump photos. They are wonderful. I love all of them and the one I love the most (wouldn't you know it) is the no-name one, or as you refer to it, BBU. That one captivates me! I just love it and now I'm going to be frustrated as heck because I can't GET IT if I don't have a name to go on! How large are the blooms? They look huge. That one is so cool-looking, like nothing else I have.

    Signet, I am not at my computer but it is the smallest editing size on the program. The same as always. As one IT person told me, it makes no sense to have to resize them in the start discussion post but not in the comment post. Makes no difference as they were already the smallest they could be!!


  • 8 years ago

    Celeste, those blooms are huge! I did not measure but easily 7 or 8 inches. And it is a striking bloom especially with several blooming. I have a large clump of it. Message me if you want some of it. If you are not adverse to a BBU!!

    Support.houzz.com Be sure to let houzz know about your problems if you have not done so already.

    The cream noid is intriguing. A plain flower, but sometimes it is good to forget ruffles (which often cause opening problems). Paco Bell is a good color, but the tendency to bloom beneath the foliage bothers me.

  • 8 years ago

    Lovely clump shots! Thanks for posting, hope it gets better for you soon. My favorites are Golden Child and Entwined in the Vine.

    Such wonderful clump shots, and hard to pick a favorite! Entwined in the Vine and Labyrinth made it to the top of my list. So many photos of E in the V this season and all are glorious, never get tired of seeing it.

    Oh, I have complained, Mantis! (Perhaps that is why I cannot post!!) I know I am not alone on this as I see not only the problems on this forum but on so many other topic forums as well. There are a lot of frustrated people on here now!! And I agree with you about Paco Bell-it does bloom low in the foliage-I have it in an obscure place that I have to really think about what it is when I see it bloom.

    And thanks to all who commented. We are all in this daylily boat together!! I cannot imagine Debra posting pics and probably commenting on them only to have them disappear before she can even post them. And yes, Debra, that is good soil because I have amended it year after year with leaves. It has become so healthy that I can barely walk my path through it due to the humongous clumps in there.

    Perfect bloom on Voila Francois today. Actually, they are perfect every day. Forgot to post this one. For Nancy.

  • 8 years ago

    Paco Bell and Voila Francois are really pretty! Have the deer taken any more of your scapes since the first voracious attack?

    Debra

  • 8 years ago

    Beautiful Kate! The clumps are wonderful, and I am really glad you came back to the computer and posted the unusual!

  • 8 years ago

    Debra, the deer made one more attack- after a rain had washed off my Gain mixture. Thank you for that, by the way. Fortunately they were scared off by a car coming up my drive and I was able to respray the next day. They took out two long rows altogether. I hope you come back to this post as I am posting this one for you!

    So sorry the deer came back. I guess we'd have to add some kind of oil to make the Gain mixture stay through rain. I've been lucky so far, especially since deer were seen grazing just three short blocks away. I need to reapply the Gain today. But the next three days have rain in the forecast. By the way, that closeup of Aslan is gorgeous.

    Kate, in case Houzz is also messing up our personal messages, I sent you a message. I would love a piece of that beautiful BBU! As mantis stated, it is sometimes good to have blooms without all the ruffling, especially in my cold climate. I am trying to stick to plain edges for that reason. I don't care that it doesn't have a name, I'm just delighted to get a piece of it. I have a trade list up so let me know what I can send in exchange.

  • 8 years ago

    Kate your BBUI is Gorg!!! and Yes, it is right up my alley! How lovely that must be to wake up to . Also love Voila Francois
