Racing toward peak week

7 years ago

With the heat we have had, blooms have really been popping out. Peak week will be here soon. Too many to post but here are a few.

    Houzz is limiting so I will add a couple more here.

    One of my first ever named lilies. Very tall-near white

    Mystical Rainbow in clump form. Just a great lily

    Blue Breasted Bee Eater- goodness, where do people get these names?!!!



    That will be enough! As Kay said, tons more but the rest of you are beginning to get your blooms going!!

    The Blue-breasted bee-eater is a bird from Africa. Who knew?

    I love all these! The ones that stood out to me the most were Arctic Sunrise, Karin Cooke and Golden Globe. The clumps of Purple Sombrero and Mystical Rainbow are very impressive, and cool pattern on Get Jiggy!

    I can't believe your already getting to peak bloom. Love the pic of Golden Globe as it has a nice blend of color.

  • 7 years ago

    It is so weird to know that you are nearly at peak bloom and I still see no sign of scapes!!! What a difference! I especially love Golden Globe with that lovely coloration. Outstanding. That is one I haven't seen much but hope you'll show it again. It and Pink Super Spider are my favorites today.

    Well, Dick, I guess you knew!! Embarrassing because my family calls me the queen of research because I am always saying, “let’s look that up”. I just have not done that on this lily yet!!

  • 7 years ago

    Wow Lilykate you must have something different in your soil. I grow both Get Jiggy and Ruby Spider. My Ruby Spider is a real red not purple like your image and Get Jiggy is more of a pinky red definitely not anything like your image . I love Golden Globe , will have to look for that one !

    Debra , it took awhile for me to appreciate the dainty Arctic Sunrise but it reaches good height and blooms well.

    Julia, my season started about a week late but the heat really helped it along, I think!

    Celeste, I really like Golden Globe. It has so many colors going on and holds up well in my heat.

    Signet, full disclosure on Ruby Spider and Get Jiggy is that they are in morning shade and these colors lighten up considerably in the sun! I will try to post the later Ruby Spider pic as it does quickly look real red in the sun! Phone pics also shade them darker when they are in the shade!

    I like Old Mount Vernon too !!!!!!!! I like that kind of tailored look on a daylily . It is a refreshing change from all the teeth and chicken fat etc.

  • 7 years ago

    Signet, I have several oldies that I like as much if not better than a lot of my new ones. Old Mount Vernon will always be with me. Here is a sun touched Ruby Spider photo-same clump.

    Ruby Spider has polyed a lot this season.

    Now that is more like what mine looks like too . I had thought maybe the different color was some chemical or soil ph was what was affecting the color . You know sort of like a hydrangea can be pink or blue depending on the chemical fertilizers used . Thanks for clearing that up for me .

    Kate, they are so pretty! I really like Colby Coventry; too bad it is small. Golden Globe is very interesting & pretty. I like daylilies with many colors in them, like Smoky Mt. Autumn. Pink Super Spider looks nice-does it have lots of buds? Karin Cook reminds me of whats-its-name by Rice. Totally blank on the name!

    I thought I has posted here, i know i looked, but i sure want to pay homage to your flowers, wow. Your season is really coming along, and so many beautiful ones. I don't care for the name, but I really like Blue Breasted Bee Eater, it may be my favorite. Golden Globe is beautiful too. Get Jiggy is beautiful. Looks like the scapes on mine are going to fail, buds are drying up. Last year the hard freeze took them out. This would be its 3rd year, i did see a couple of blooms the 1st year i planted it. Your clumps all look good!

  • 7 years ago

    Brad, I will post today’s picture of Pink Super Spider-bud count is OK but could be better if we had gotten any rain in May. This is an area that does not get watered. And so funny-Smoky Mountain Autumn is exactly what I thought of too when I saw Golden Globe!

    Nancy I have never been impressed with Get Jiggy. Never a pattern. This bloom did show why some people love it. Thanks for your comments.

    PSS today.

    Red daylilies aren't always my favorite, but I remember seeing Ruby Spider at one of my first daylily shows and thinking it was just fine. Your pictures are wonderful of it.......Arctic Sunrise is so sweet. Look at that form and edge on such a girly color. I like it too.......Get er Done is interesting.....Colby Coventry also grabs my attention. I like a few small ones thrown into the mix. A nice group over all.............Maryl

    Well your garden is looking really good and I agree, this heat pushed them into blooming like crazy. Last week was my peak week. I will post later or tomorrow. As you know, I was out of town and I am still enduring a monstrous cold. That yellow is an amazing thing. I can't wait until it blooms here...My Ruby spider is always bright red...not the two tone...Love the thing....it isn't blooming but a day or two and will be.

    I like Mystial Rainbow. Love that delicate Karen cook...it is lovely. I really liked Git'RDone. This was my first year too and can't wait for clump size. GEt Ziggy really looks good. I think Mystical Rainbow is my favorite.

    Beautiful collection of blooms! Your yellow NOID looks great. Glad you posted Colby Coventry, no scapes on mine this year. Pretty picture of Arctic Sunrise. Golden Globe is a beauty as well.
