Saturday's blooms

6 years ago

Got some much needed rain yesterday. It saved me from having to water, but we are still dry. Many seedlings in this batch. I will save them till the end.


ERIN LEA: A nice older yellow/gold with a bubbly/toothy edge.


ROSE F. KENNEDY - MIne has also been slow to increase.



FOOLED ME and SPIDERMAN (Indian Giver in the lower right corner)



SWEDISH GIRL


PEA GREEN WITH ENVY: Second season in the garden.


WILLOW DEAN SMITH: Great all around plant.


PEPPERMINT PINWHEEL: A nice bicolor/tone.


SKYHOOKS: This one is great. When buying property it is about location location location. The plants in this corner of the garden are benefitting from me placing a gutter on my shed and having the water (when it rains) draining in the general area.

    Peppermint Pinwheel can throw some beautiful blooms, but also splotchy ones. Scapes here are short. Yours looks good, so perhaps I will save it.

    CHEROKEE HERITAGE: Introduced by the late Marie Skelley, a region three hybridizer. I used to visit her gardens several times a year. She was very active in the Free State Daylily Society and the National Capital Daylily Club.



    PRAIRIE PINK LACE: A Robert Ellison Seedling. It is full of ruffles.


    CRINTONIC SHADOWLANDS: Rather unusul eye. Vigorous grower.


    RAM: Huge yellow flowers


    CONDILLA: A nice double. It is a pain to divide as all the fans seem to come from one crown. I usually have to dig the entire clump up and perform surgery, One of these days I will remember to cut more than what was ordered out of it.


    OUR FRIEND OLIN: The most ruffled one I grow.

    Mantis,


    Peppermint Pinwheel has not been splotchy for me. It reaches its registered height. Actually, mine is a little taller.

    So many nice daylilies! Who can't love a combo of Spiderman and Fooled Me? Our Friend Olin looks really pretty, does it open well with all those ruffles? I must be in a ruffley mood this morn, prairie Pin Lace really appeals. Your red seedling looks great, and I like the Vic Lace one a

    MARYL: Robert Ellison passed away in 2018. He was out of Rockland, Illinois. If you type in his name and daylilies, there is a garden where he lived and they carry many of his plants, and one of his mentors is carrying out his work.


    Nancy,: OFO opens up all the time. It is flat as a pancake and does not hang. I think because the ruffles are rolling, they don't hang up.

    What’s not to like about the combo of Fooled Me and Spiderman? Prairie Pink Lace is really pretty and Ram is always an eye catcher. I love seedling #2!! BTW, I sent you a couple of responses to your message.

    oh, and OFO is really really ruffly!!

    My favorite photo is the combo of Fooled Me and Spiderman. Skyhooks looks like a nice one. My favorite seedling is the second of the Vic. Lace X Boundless Beauty crosses.
