Pinks, Purples and More

6 years ago

These are some blooms from today and the previous two days. I really got behind on cropping and sizing my photos.


Jurrasic Pink was new last fall. A friend on another forum sent it to me as a gift when he read I'd like to use it in my pink hybridizing program. It's a very large bloom - 7+ inches in my garden - on scapes of around 40 inches this year.

    Love seeing Zuzu in that beautiful setting! Sounds like Jurassic Pink is a good one, so many pretty ruffly daylilies seem to be short, at least most that I have. My favorite may be I'm gonna Love You Through It

    Nancy - I can't take credit for the Zuzu garden shot. My husband took that photo, but I wanted to share it.

    Zuzu’s got the best seat in the house! I think my eye catcher today is Pink Aloha, I adore the true pink daylilies. What a great gift you received, hope you get some nice babies from it. Midnight Castle is lovely too, such a nice deep purple and a great white edge to boot.

    Midnight Castle is so intense. Pink Aloha is always so pink. I’m Gonna Love You Through It is my pick for this group for its look and the name!

    You beat me to it posting Pink Aloha. I had my first good bloom today but didn't have time to post it. I still adore it and from your pictures most people can see why. ........Jurassic Pink is a beauty. I think Nan had that a few years back when it was brand new. I'll be interested in your take on it for vigor and colorfastness.........Midnight Castle and Pistil Whipped are good ones too........Kisses to Zuzu in front of a lovely garden view.........Maryl

    Jurrasic Pink is gorgeous. 40 inch scapes is super tall. Nice garden pic with Zuzu.

    Sherry and Julia - The first blooms on Jurassic Pink were very splotchy. But my primary goal in growing it is not the pretty blooms. It's the genetics. It's already set a couple of pods from my 8-inch seedling, Dancing Flamingo X Bubblegum Delicious, and note the pollen on the pistil. My Michigan friend, who grows it successfully there, was incredibly thoughtful to gift me with several fans.

    Debra,

    They are all so nice. I like them all.

    I love the pinks--Pink Aloha, I'm Gonna Love You Through It, and Manny Augustine (which I consider rose pink). Jurassic Pink is a nice flower. We grew it but it didn't flourish for us so we sent it south as a part of downsizing effort.

    Hoosier Nan - Yes, Maney Augustine is a rose pink bitone. It's too bad Jurassic Pink didn;t flourish in your climate. I don't know how long I'll keep it, since it seems to be a splotcher.

    Now you know showing Zuzu among all that beauty, it has to be the top photo of the group. Love that picture.
