Just a couple new

7 years ago

I got out briefly yesterday evening.

Berma Albercrombie. I got this from Julia a number of years ago after admiring it from afar. Julia's looks 10 times better. Perhaps it is too hot here. This year was actually a step backwards from last year--less and shorter scapes, less buds. I guess you can never know. I may try moving it this year unless I need the space.

Ice Carnival accidentally got mixed into a clump of Radiant Moonbeam. It has worked out well. The look a lot alike, one blooms em and this one mL. It make the clump look like it blooms a long time and saves me room in the bed.

An unusual bloom for Tune the Harp. Not much lavender and more yellow than usual.

That's all for now. I can see if I get out later Sears Tower and So Lovely have started today.

Berma Abercrombie may be short for you this year, but the color is still wonderful. It looks like Tune the Harp got overheated.

Berma Abercrombie looks good and may well increase as it goes along. Nice when a mix up works out well, isn't it?

Its been 5 years for BA and it has yet to have a good year; last year was the first that was acceptable and this year it has definitely gone backward quite a bit while all my others except Paige's Pinata are doing well or at least the same [ a couple with less buds but still looking vigorous]. With all the rain etc. it should be happy. I don't have much hope.

While I like shorter daylilies (they serve a purpose too), I would not appreciate a bloom down in the foliage. It's a shame on Burma because it's a pretty color.....Ice Carnival seems to have a nice trumpet shape. I learned to really like that shape when I had Mary Todd..........Glad to hear you are getting out to the garden more and more. Hang in there...........Maryl

Interesting with the two whites in the same clump, kind of a cool accident.

I like Tune the Harp. Just pretend you meant to mix the two clumps. Good thinking.

Tune the Harp's unusual bloom is quite pretty! Too bad about Berma Abercrombie, you wait and wait and they do not improve. Have several like this and still can't get rid of :)
