Pictures I have not shown

7 years ago

I don't have pictures today because of the rain, but a few from the past few days that I did not post before

Poor Bonnie Holley is one that does not like it here. Blooms fine, but has gone from 3 fans to 1. I like the sculpting on it. Already in a good location, I may try moving it again to a more protected spot. I think that is Crazy Ivan behind it.


Cindy's Tie Dye


Electric Mist has short scapes this year


Forty Days and Forty Nights, only has one scape but must have put its all in this one scape. It is about 40" tall and several buds. I have had this one 3 or 4 years I think, but this is the first year I have seen any increase in it.


Jolyene Nicole, always a beautiful bloom, always a short scape


Kansas Kitten


Tooth is actually showing a couple of teeth this year. I think that is the first I have ever noticed that.


Thin Man

    I don't know what happened to the pic of Thin Man, I tried reposting but it just repeated. Does not look like that in the photo though.

    Cindy's Tie Die has a wonderful pattern! We got more rain today - maybe that will help mine scape. How strange that your Forty Days only has one scape. Mine scaped on all three fans and is about 36 inches, which I think is the registration height. It seems to be a slow multiplier. Bonnie Holley is a pretty one. That's a shame that you've lost fans on it. How weird about your Thin Man picture. Another new quirk from Houzz.

    It's too bad Bonnie Holley does not like your climate. I too like the sculpting. Electric Mist didn't like our garden. I wanted to get rid of it due to poor performance and Bob wanted to keep it, but it decided for us. It died last winter. Jolyene Nicole is a beautiful pink!

    Bonnie Holley is a really nice shade of bright yellow. I like it. Too bad it's growing backwards. I've had a number of my favorite new ones over the years start out like gangbusters their first year only to start declining in vigor in the years thereafter. It's quite frustrating when you know you are growing them well...........I agree about Joylene Nichols; a beautiful bloom.............Maryl

    Debra, I hope Cindy blooms for you, I believe it has always bloomed every year from the beginning. It had it's good years and bad for bud counts, and amazingly slow to multiply, bit I always love the blooms.

    Nancy, so far Electric Mist is doing pretty well. I like the look of it, and it seems to have a respectable bud count. Next year will be its leap year, so I am hoping for even better.

    Maryl, Bonnie Holley is the most sculpted looking bloom I have, the blooms open nicely, the fans have looked healthy. Just vanishing. I do think I will try moving it, but may just have to give up on that one.

    Jolyene Nicole always had such beautiful huge blooms. I don't really mind shorter daylilies, but this is just a little too short even for me. Looks so odd for those huge blooms growing usually less than 12"tall.

    Hmm, seems that the winter has had some deleterious effects. Too early to tell here. I am always wary of the Holley evergreens, but I appreciate more reports on cultivars.

    I id not see this post, Nancy. don' know how I missed it. Bonnie Holley is a beauty! I can see why you would move it to try and save it. Cinsy's Tie Die is a pretty one, and I always like Thin Man even if he photo isn't showing right

    Thanks Kay. Normally Bonnie Holley opens quite well too, but those cool days we had kept it from opening so well. Good thing it is not an early blooming daylily I guess.
