Cool mornings offer great blooming

7 years ago

Unseasonably cooler days have provided greater joy in being in the garden! Plants seem to appreciate it as well and blooms have really outdone themselves! Here are a few.

Vanishing Mist—What a beautiful sight today even with a few splotches. There was actually another bloom to the left.

God’s Paintbrush-victim of insect damage but did give me these blooms today

Rescue plant so this is first year in my garden.

Colors are not usually this dark but always pretty

Digital Dynamics-new plant

Also new this year

    I love the photo of Vanishing Mist! It's like they're in a Conga line. I'm glad to see Private Reserve shaped up for you. Maybe it will give you more photo worthy blooms now. Ocean Spirit was new for me too last fall. No scape here yet, but yours is beautiful!

    Vanishing Mist ( I have tried to find this one here but no luck yet ) and Digital Dynamics are the ones that do it for me today. Love the unusual look of DD.

    Elegant Candy does stand out in a clump. Great pic of it. Fear Not has so many more buds to go. Nice group

    Debra, I did have two good blooms on Private Reserve-a shame because it has been a prolific bloomer this year-just all splotchy. And still no photo worthy bloom on Magician’s Magic. And yes, I think Ocean Spirit is going to be a good one.

    Heather, just got Digital Dynamics this spring and look at those buds. Probably should have cut off the scapes!

    Julia, that clump of Elegant Candy needs dividing but it ignores that need and puts on a show every year.

    You've got some real lovely ones in this batch. Had to look up Vanishing Mist. An Emmerich offering. Reminds me of the washed eye pattern on Debra's Razor's Edge which I really like too.............I'm not into UF's, but there are a few that still draw my attention. Ocean Spirit is one. Always looks good......Here's to more cool weather for all of us for at a few more days..............Maryl

    My favorite today is Vanishing Mist, love the color. A close second is Great Balls of Fire, such a rich color. I love Elegant Candy, yours is great, it seems to do well for everyone.

    Thanks Maryl and Sherry. Vanishing Mist languished last year, barely blooming. I had all but given up on it when it began to put on this show this year. So I think I will keep it! Maryl, my heels were dug in on getting spiders and UFs in my garden. Then people kept sending them as gift plants and I kept planting them. So now some of them are beginning to grow on me. This one I like!

    Vanishing Mist just had its 1st bloom for the year yesterday, yours is looking really good. If I remember, last year it really looked good after s few blooms, hoping mine looks as nice as yours. Another daylily had its first bloom today, you might know it, Entwined on the Vine! Thank you so much for trading with me, beautiful flower. They always look even better in person

    So many pretty blooms, I love that one of Private Reserve, and the clumps are knockouts. Elegant Candy pyt on a great show last year and starting to look like it is going to be another good year. Mine is a big clump too. I hate to mess with a happy plant, but it is outgrowing its space. Fear Not is beautiful too.

    Lots of beautiful clump shots today, Kate! That Sea of Cortez is a beauty. Great Balls of Fire is right down my line gorgeous deep red color. Digital Dynamics is fascinating. It looks like a true lily which I though it was for a second. I like it. God's Paint Brush, Vanishing Mist Bulletproof....so many beauties. Fear Not is always a favorite...bi-tone with red, perfect! Beautiful post, Kate!
