Thursday's blooms

8 years ago

Apparently I have too many daylilies as I keep finding new ones to post. My wife and kids would say that I have 500 too many.

On with the show. These were all taken this evening.

ALL THINGS TO ALL MEN: Blooms don't hang. Big flowers.

TAINTED LOVE: A nice orange from Bud Bennett

MEPHISTOPHELES: An old Moldovan. Does well for me.

STARGATE PORTAL: I love this plant. A little slow to increase, but the blooms are outstanding.

HEARTBEAT OF HEAVEN: Big flat blooms. Color tends to fade rather quickly.

QUALITY OF LIFE: Doesn't increase. I still have the same two fans from 4 years ago and this year it was short. This one is leaving this year.

VICTORIAN GARDENS STAR BRIGHT: This year, it has come into its own. I have been impressed with this one.

SHORES OF TIME: Has taken a long time to get established. Blooms are pretty much flawless.

PROPER STRANGER: Out of SILOAM RALPH HENRY. I love the flat face. The halo is usually much darker.

DANCING WITH LINDA: Gold edge on a diploid. Ed Zahler has gotten some fascinating seedlings out of this one.

SO BEAUTIFUL TO ME: Has just started blooming. Vigorous plant. Many buds as well.

That is all for me.

Thanks for looking.

I am still waiting for VG Star Bright to come into its own here. Short scapes; few bloooms. But you give hope. Shores of Time can be very nice, but has some bad blooms here. There seem to be a lot of Stargate Portal fans out there.

Shores of Time was slow to increase for me but this year it was fabulous for us and my daughter in Northwest Missouri (Zone 5b). Apparently Quality of Life was mis-named. :-)

I agree that Heartbeat of Heaven is a terrible fader. I'm keeping it only for hybridizing purposes and crossing it with sunfast cultivars. It does pass on white and cream edges. All Things to All Men tends to be very splotchy here too. Everyone who has Stargate Portal seems to love it.

Nice group! Stargate Portal catches my eye, as does Victorian Gardens Star Bright. Tainted Love is a pretty shade of orange.

Normally I always go for the purples, but those last three are the winners for me this time - Proper Stranger, Dancing with Linda and So Beautiful to Me - an apt name!
