More weekend blooms

8 years ago

Hopefully, this will not take as long to post as the last ones! Just wanted to share a few more before the gardens up north begin their show although it would appear many have certainly begun! Of course, since I still don't have the secret password, these will be in the comments!!

    Amazing how well they bloom even when in monster clumps. Maybe the other cultivar is Siloam Lemon Ice.

    Spacecoast Better Late
    Celeste asked for more photos of this unknown. It is almost finished blooming. Still looks good.
    Stargate Portal
    Big Kiss. I don't grow many doubles. This is one I kinda like.

    Just a couple more perhaps. It won't let me load any more in this comment.

    I sure wish the daylilies would all grow as well as the weeds.

    I like Spacecoast Better Late. It just didn't like our climate so we had to get rid of it. I also like Stargate Portal and Entwined in the Vine.

    Memphis. Has not had one bad bloom this season.
    Winding down. Weed bed is to the left. Neighbor's label moving, hiding, eating pooch is in backgound. He loves to garden with me. But he let me down on the deer escapade night. Plans are to wind another path around the tree in background with more rows of lilies. Perhaps a better plan would be to clean out the weed bed!!
    Arrowhead Princess. New. Planted this spring.
    Sent as a bonus last year as Ramming Speed, which of course it is not! Vendor is no longer in business although I did email with a photo. No response yet. But I like the looks of it.

    This was exhausting!! I will stop now. Off to send Houzz yet another email!!

    Looks nicer than Ramming Speed. Arrowhead Princess is also a looker. Memphis is a slow grower, but oh so lovely.

    Your clump shots are just wonderful. Of the others I think I like Memphis best. It's just my type of form and edging. Beautiful.........Maryl

    Multi bloom pics are lovely to see.

    It's so good to see Memphis blooming somewhere. Mine was knocked back hard by winter and likely will not scape this season. I'm getting rid of some pinks to make space for it next to the house in a sheltered position. It was my favorite pink last year, blooming on tall scapes and having a nice fall rebloom. The last photo of the NOID shows a striking group. It's a shame you can't identify that one. You do have a monster clump of Elegant Candy! I bet it's really amazing in person. Mine continues to bloom in shade with less than 5 hours of sun a day, but it no longer multiplies. I am sorry about poor El Desperado. At least you have a few blooms left on it.

    Mantis, I don't think that is S. Lemon Ice. I will dig today and find the tag because that clump has been spectacular and I am curious. And yes, the NOID is nicer than Ramming Speed. I have it too. That vendor must have had a lot of that plant. Sent it as a bonus often even when asked not to!!

    Maryl, you would love Memphis. It does have great form. Mantis is correct. It does not multiply well but that would work for you.

    Julia, I love the multi bloom shots as well. Helps me see the plant habit. And Debra, I agree Memphis should get a prominent sheltered place. It deserves it! What would Elvis say?!! I am surprised my Elegant Candy throws so many blooms. It needs dividing!!

    What a pleasure to see your garden shots. That planting of Elegant Candy is terrific. Entwined In The Vine is marvelous as always, and love that NOID. It's great that HOUZZ cooperated so you could show all these wonderful flowers.

    Glorious clump shots!

    Wonderful! I really enjoy seeing your photos, I will never show you my weed bed. Which is every flower bed I have right now. I really like your noid, hope you find out what it is.

    I am so glad you posted Entwined in the Vine again. It is such a beauty! I really like your "monster clump" candy bed too, Kate. All the blooms are so pretty. I like you new one and Ramming Speed is looking good for a sleep year. Your NOID is a beauty. I agree with Celeste on that. Kate I am so sorry the deer ambushed your beautiful El Desperado clump...the good thing is it should keep right on with the enormous amount of bloom, but no consolation for this year, I know. and I love the garden shots. Your plan sounds lovely...a lot of work but that never seems to stop us.

    Kate - Elvis would say, "Thank you very much for putting Memphis first." LOL

    Gorgeous garden shots! I would love to have all that space for more beds, although it’s sometimes difficult to fully maintain the ones I have now! Entwined in the Vine looks beautiful. Your Memphis looks great. I need to move mine to a better spot, as it’s probably in one of the worst spots in my garden. Arrowhead Princess and your bonus noid also catch my eye.

    Thanks for another look at BBU! I love all the space you seem to have. Your clumps all look healthy. Must be all that rain. Could you send some my way, please?

  • 8 years ago

    Nancy, haha on the weeds in the beds!! That shot is only one half of the weed bed. You cannot even see the lilies in the other half except for two or three that literally have six foot scapes they sent up to bloom. And, sorry Celeste, but we have continued to have those rains and storms all summer! While I love the rain, it has made that bed impossible to work in without waders to protect from snakes and a machete to mow down the undergrowth! And yes, Kay, the more I think of that plan, the more work it does seem like doing!! But I have these 20 something pots of daylilies I must put somewhere and you see that I need to divide so many of these clumps!

    Avedon and Celeste-I do have a lot of space. Our land in that photo is "as far as the eye can see"! We lease it to a neighbor for hay and he always laughs when he comes to renew the lease and asks if I am going to keep going down into the pasture with my lilies. That road facing bed I usually show, the one above, was once part of the leased land!! (I never make him any promises.)

    Oh my......I would kill to have all that land and open space. I have just about used every inch of my one acre lot that isn't woods. I've had to make dozens of raised rock beds since the land is not flat and it's rocky. I have taken down lots of trees but there are still so many and they are hanging over my gardens. I have no more sunny spots and some of my poor daylilies grow in part shade. My dream is to have wide, open FLAT rock-free space but unless I move it's not happening. Lucky you!

  • 8 years ago

    Very beautiful! Yes, I think the NOID is lovely, too. Entwined in the Vine is still the favorite!
