Some from the past week

8 years ago

Tried posting yesterday evening and had all kinds of issues. Am having issues again now, will try one last time. Here are some pics of blooms from the past week.

Claudine's Charm - does anyone not love CC?!?

Dorothy And Toto

Vanishing Mist - ahhhh. Have at least one seedling that has bloomed from it and it is one of my favorite babies!

Sugar Magnolia - I'm trying to show the scapes

Morning Fog

Stargate Portal

Finally some nice blooms on Soli Deo Gloria, after the first few blooms this season were horrible

Thistles And Thorns

Crintonic Rain Dances - second bloom year here on this one. Love the blooms and nice scapes too

I'll add more in the comments soon...

Beautiful flowers! Thistles and Thorns is my favorite, great pic. Yes, I do love CC :) And wow at that clump of Vanishing Mist! Looking forward to seeing your seedlings if you want to share them (and Houzz cooperates)!

Oh no, I was looking forward to more of your eye candy. Boo on Houzz! That clump of Vanishing Mist is amazing! Your Sugar Magnolia is very well budded. Mine was sad this year, short scapes and not many buds. It gets too much shade now. I'll need to move it in the fall.

Thanks, Debra and Maryl!

Maryl, in an earlier post (last weekend) I posted a pic of a bloom and mentioned how splotchy the first Soli Deo Gloria blooms were - it hadn't been a problem in previous years here, so I am glad it shaped up!

Lovely blooms, Laura. I particular like Vanishing Mist and the Sugar Magnolia clumps, but Soli Deo Gloria is my favorite.

The Vanishing Mist clump is so pretty! Thistles and Thorns is so lovely in a closeup, you need to see the detail in th bloom. Sugar Magnolia is a bloom machine for you!

Great bud count on Sugar Magnolia! Is Stargate Portal shorter than usual? Looks just at foliage level, but pics can be deceiving. Dorothy and Toto hasn't been a stellar performer here. What is your experience? How do you like Morning Fog?

Thanks, Kay, Sherry and Nat! Nat, I will try to do a post of my seedlings maybe next weekend... or one evening this week if we actually get some rain and I'm stuck inside :) Mantis, this is the second bloom season here for all the ones you mentioned so I'm sure they are still settling in a bit. I just measured the scapes on SP, and including the buds, the tallest ones are 33-35". Dorothy and Toto is well budded here... since it's pink, it's not one of my favorites. I like Morning Fog so far - pretty flowers (that are on the smaller side), each fan seems to put up two scapes and it blooms fairly late (FFO was July 20th). I don't think it's an EMO.

These are beauties. Especially the Emmerich ones. You have a nice collection. I hope you can post more sometime (although I know it is a PITA)

:)

I like Thistles and Thorns! And what an amazing clump of Vanishing Mist, can't wait til mine looks like that. I hope Sugar Magnolia likes it here as much as in your garden, I am looking forward to seeing it bloom next year! Just a lovely post!

Seems like today is a good day for Houzz, I seem to be able to post comments at least.

Beautiful group of blooms! Claudine’s Charm is a favorite. Soli Deo Gloria and Thistles and Thorns also catch my eye.

I definitely want to see the seedlings! And darn straight that Houzz is being a PITA. Sugar Magnolia is my favorite, though I always love the purples, too!

How did I miss this post because you have some great shots. Vanishing Mist is amazing in a clump. Crintonic Rain Dances would be one I would get...if I could. Curt does a great job of producing watermark daylilies. Sugar Magnolia is another one that looks to be a stellar performer for you. Claudine's Charm has some nice blooms here too but in the beginning when I first got it a couple of years ago, I was disappointed. Maybe it just needed time to adjust.
