Mishmash of the rest

6 years ago
last modified: 6 years ago

At the end of the bloom season, there are late bloomers, some last blooms, and some clumps that are just now budding. These are a collection of those.

OK-showed this yesterday but this morning it had this show so am submitting again.

Willow Dean Smith


Now this is mishmash and what happens when you don’t divide your clumps! Yellow Mammoth, Passion for Red, Bela Lugosi


Forsyth Garet Mason


Laura Harwood


One of those “design dilemmas” 2 yellow Siloam planted side by side. Siloam Amazing Grace and Siloam Breeze to the left. Peach noid trying to survive at the bottom.


Sarah Christine-what a performance for a first year plant


Plastic Pink Flamingo was in a pot last year and did not like its move to the ground-few blooms


For Debra’s review- this is the noid showing more pink-the next photo will show it at the end of the day


This was 7 pm photo. It does not get full sun all day and no western sun so I cannot vouch for sunfastness


Here is the best color and edge on Dearest Valentine-weather and temps never did cooperate with opening-still lovely

    I love the mismash photo! It's fun seeing how multiple daylilies look together. Willow Dean and Garrett Mason are my favorites. Both have that light petal/darker edge that I love. The NOID in those pictures reminds me of Memphis except for the white edge. Both photos of it look marvelous! I'm so sorry Dearest Valentine isn't opening better for you. It opened here today and yesterday just fine. It's not an early morning opener though. Val likes to sleep in. When nights are cool, she almost always opens fully by 11. After warmer ngihts, she's open by 8:30 or 9 here.


    The kittens are so cute! I didn't know Spot was in the family way. It looks like there a little spot in there with a tri-color and three little black kittens. I envy you having that littler. The kittens are so much fun, but then it's hard to find homes for them all.

    Stargate Portal looks glorious today, such rich colors. I really like the pink noid, glad you took more photos of it. Laura Harwood looks great in your garden, I’m a fan of hers always. The kitties are so cute, hope you find homes Quickly for the ones that don’t stay with you

    I love the display of the mishmash. The kittens are adorable.

    Willow Dean Smith and Forsyth Garet Mason look very similar...... hard to choose which one I like best , so I choose BOTH! Ashville White Winged Dove is my number one choice though.


    I also like your mishmash . it looks so natural ......like what you might see in an English cottage garden which is a look I love . No specimen gardens for me . I would rather see a couple of plants planted maybe just a touch too close than just see a plant and muich and a plant and mulch. and a plant and mulch .......that look does nothing for me at all.

    Debra, I had not thought of Memphis as a possibly it very well could be. My Memphis was blooming today and I took a picture to compare. Mine has a little more peach than the noid but different parts of the yard, soil, etc. Dearest Valentine has had to fight heavy dew, cool nights and lots of rain this year. But the color has been great.

    Spot arrived as a drop off-after taming her I made two vet appointments only to have her disappear the days of the appointments. Then we had stay at home and vets were only doing emergency-before I could get her in she had some boyfriends. One baby is spoken for but four to go!


    Sherry, Stargate Portal has been lovely this year. And ditto to finding good homes for my babies!


    Heather and Julia-it definitely is a mishmash in there-if you could only see all of it!!! Heather, my plants do more than just touch-they hug, cuddle, squeeze and entwine!!!


    Thanks for the nice comments!! Free Kittens!!!

    My favorite is the mish mash shot. All those yellow UF with 2 dramatic spots of round color. It looks really good......I actually like that little Peach Noid you have. Can you pot it up for a bouquet in the center of the outdoor table? It's cool and refreshing on a hot summer day.............I like the color on your UF Plastic Pink Flamingo. I hope it takes off for you next year...............Maryl

    I'm not happy with this new format and the way the posts are shown. I totally missed the "read more" at the end of the post showing the new babies. How lucky they are to have you to take care of them and moma instead of being subjected to the "wild" world. There's a 75% mortality for the kittens if not taken in. All lives have value. Bless you Kate.......Maryl

    Kate - The reason I mentioned Memphis in connection wtih the NOID is that Trimmer crossed London Calling with White Noise to get Memphis. What I'm saying is the NOID has the Trimmer look, another reason this is likely White Noise.


    I'm glad to know you already have a home for one of the kittens. Spot must have a sixth sense aboiut those vet appointments. LOL

    Beautiful pictures and blooms, Kate! Everything looks so lush. My favorite of the blooms is Stargate Portal. Sweet babies! I hope you're able to find homes for all of them.

    I really like Yellow Mamouth. I mean really! Willoe Dean Smith and Garrett Mason are always lovely, aren't they? Of course, Stargate Portal is my very favorite of all except the kittens which are adorabl but White Winged Dove is a pretty one too.

    Yellow Mammoth is very impressive, and I am not often a fan of yellow. Laura Harwood looks really good, and I always love Stargate Portal. The kitties are perfect!

    I always love seeing Willow Dean Smith; Garrett Mason is also great, don't recall seeing it before. They are now both on my list. Bela Lugosi is such a nice, dark purple.
