Some more first blooms today

A few more first blooms in my gardens. Little Showman was added as a single fan last spring. It has four fans and two scapes this spring. It’s a small plant and bloom, bloom is under 3”. The first scape is in the foliage, bummer!

PasteLine another small, was moved last fall. It’s much happier in its new spot.

    Another FFE today, Tall Dark Stranger, thank you Laura for sharing, this is a stunner! Large bloom and tall!

    Soft Hearted Mother in its second season to bloom, first flower. I’m hoping the green edge is a little better on subsequent blooms.
    Tootsie Rose, another small having what looks like a good season.
    Bela Lugosi was added this spring, love it!
    Going Bananas started yesterday with four blooms.

    Two more....Peach Pizazz, no matter what I do I can not get the color on this daylily to look right. The lovely peach color always looks really pale, photos don’t do it justice.

    Crystaline Entity is on its third season here and has multiplied nicely it’s a large bloom, tall scapes. It is a true pink.

    All very lovely. Soft Hearted Mother truly has a "soft" color to it. Very nice.

    Lots of pretty ones here, but Tall Dark Stranger and Soft Hearted Mother are the ones that grab me.

    Try taking the pastels after 10 a.m. on an overcast day. There has to be enough light for the true colors, but not so much as to produce glare. They can be difficult to capture. Don't know how many I delete.


    Tall Dark Stranger looks like an improved Russian Rhapsody. Very nice.

    You got the look of Tall Dark Stranger perfectly. Mine was new last fall, also thanks to Laura, and has been blooming for quite a while now. It settled right in and went to work. I got a single fan of Little showman last fall. It made it through the winter, but sadly, the late freezes got it. I can admire yours though, it is a pretty one. I like Soft Hearted Mother too.

    Tall Dark Stranger is beautiful. Apparently lives up to its name! Crystaline Entity also looks very pretty. And it does look as though it has multiplied well.

    Tall Dark Stranger really shows out. Change of pace on Soft Hearted Mother, very nice. Crystalline Entity a favorite, so delicately pretty.

    Beautiful group! Tall Dark Stranger really grabs my attention. I also like Bela Lugosi and Peach Pizazz.

    Lovely blooms, Sherry.. Tall Dark Stranger takes the prize...Lovely. Little Showman is very pretty and so is Peach Pizazz even if you can get the color you want. Pretty blooms everywhere.

    Tall Dark Stranger is terrific! It looks like a dashing gentleman! I will have to ask Laura about getting that one. Good seeing that you are getting so many blooms already; I am way behind you.
