FRIDAY AFTERNOON DELIGHTS

5 years ago

Many group shots this afternoon following work.

SWIMMING WITH SHARKS: This just keeps pumping out the blooms. My friend was downsizing his garden in Maryland two years ago and I got what he had for free. All I had to do was dig.

HEMAN: I believe that this is my first post of the year for this one.

ISABELLE ROSE: I love this simple bloom

RING THE BELLS OF HEAVEN: The scapes are sky high with this one this year. They are about 40 inches

CRITICAL MASS: This is a great looking red.

SASSY SHANNON: Great plant. Getting better as the season goes on.

PROPER STRANGER: I just can't resist taking this one's picture. The blooms are 7 inches and flat as a dinner plate. Love it! It blooms over a long period of time even though it doesn't have as many buds as I would like. About 10-12 buds per scape.

NEON FLAMINGO: Huge blooms today.

RED FRIDAY: I just keep it for breeding purposes. Is rather splotchy most days.

MAGIC AMETHYST: Nice lavender

CORAL MAJORITY

Teddy Bears Picnic

That's it for me.

Thanks for looking.

Red Friday must open early and get dew on the petals, which causes the splotchiness. Red and purple colors are water soluble.

Lots of pretties here. Swimming With Sharks makes a glorious clump, and how great that you got it for free. I think my favorite is Ring the Bells of Heaven - 40 inches, oh my! Isn't it normally a short one?

Debra,

It is usually a shorter one. It is registered as 24 inches tall. I have it planted in the front. Maybe their is more dormancy in it. We had a long cold winter. Who knows. Last year it was about 24 inches. Before it started blooming, and not realizing which one it was, I thought "I really made a mistake putting that one there." Will have to see how it behaves next year.

RING THE BELLS OF HEAVEN being 40 inches is incredible for a 24 inch typical scape height. Did the bud count go up as well?

Proper Stranger is a new one for me--such delicate color! Red Friday is also splotchy here too. We keep it for breeding also, but I haven't gotten much out of it. Swimming with Sharks does well here. Critical Mass is one of our favorite reds.

Ring the Bells of Heaven looked good this year; some years, very splotchy. I think you pictured Heman before. To me, it usually looks better in person than in pictures, but it is striking in your picture. Blemishes don't show that much in person.
