Rain, sun, heat, humidity-and blooms

6 years ago

A series of thunderstorms over the past few days and high heat resulted in high humidity-the kind that makes it hard to breathe outside. It was already 79 degrees at 9:00 this morning. Heat index yesterday was 99. But blooms kept blooming!


Navajo Pony-FFE- it actually had three blooms but could not gather them all in one frame. Spindly scapes that I hope strengthen next year. two blooms on one scape would have pulled it over to the ground.


part of roadside bed-hard to capture all the clumps

Get Jiggy-no pattern-last year was only year I have seen a pattern


Heartbeat of Heaven


Fantasy Fringe has been pretty this year

    Just a seedling-not mine of course


    San Ignacio-shown before but anything that looks like this at 6 p.m. after a day in full sun needs a second look


    Sweet Isabela

    The roadside garden is beautiful! My faves are Fantasy Fringe, Fire Dragon and Sweet Isabella.

    The garden looks lovely. Sweet Isabwella is a beauty. I like the seedling and Fantasy Fringe. And Fire DRagon looks good with the blue flowers beside it. Navajo Pony looks good. It is darker than mine. I had a nice clump on my missing post, but maybe they will post it Monday.

    Nice bed! I bet people slow down to look at that when it's in bloom! San Ignacio is a nice daylily. It grew really well here. We haven't seen a pattern on Get Jiggy very often here. It's too bad because when it does have a pattern, it's really nice. My favorites today are Fantasy Fringe (I like the shape of the eye and the color) and Sweet Isabela. I love pinks with a watermark.

    Love that roadside bed, probably stops traffic. Fire Dragon looks great today. I do like Navajo Pony, hope it improves for you.

    I think your Roadside bed looks excellent. Lots of yellow sparkles in amongst the other colors. What a pretty foursome Fire Dragon makes too..........Our temperature was 98 today, 98 tomorrow and 98 Friday (I was afraid to even look at the heat index). I think I'm sensing a pattern. Summer has arrived......Maryl

    Lovely group. Fire Dragon steals the show but the roadside garden bed is impressive and impeccable. A beautiful setting.

    Thanks, all For your comments. Julia, Fire Dragon has been so pretty this year, especially in that unplanned companion planting! Laura, lots of your beauties reside in that bed!

    Maryl, I feel your pain with the temps. Boo, hiss!!! And of course there are lots of yellow lovelies in there!

    Hoosier Nan, I have had Get Jiggy for many years and last year was the only year for a pattern. I have two clumps of it and neither patterns. Sherry, I hope Navajo Pony scapes improve. I had to practically lie on my back this morning to get a photo of two blooms! Debra and Kay, Sweet Isabela has looked good this year. I have some lovely dark photos from cool mornings. And Fantasy Fringe has fantastic color!!

    I live in the country. No one around me grows daylilies and only my next door neighbor grows flowers. She has a few landscape daylilies. Other homes have green lawns and green shrubs-no color. I live far enough off the road that one would have to drive up the driveway to get a good look at the flowers but most people are not interested. Except me!!!!

    What a shame no one else sees that beautiful patch of daylilies!
