Suddenly There Were Only a Few Blooming

6 years ago

Yesterday was the first day I noticed large areas of the gardens without daylily blooms. Here are some of the ones still heavily flowering.


All of My Love to You had a clump with seven blooms today. It's done better than its registration stats this year. The best scape has 23 buds, and several other scapes have 18-21.



Indian Ripple had nine blooms



Miss Goldie Gold Digger had 11, but I only got 9 in the frame.



Regal Finale with a duo



Cherry Cheeks is the oldest registered daylily I still grow (1968). It flowers well in part shade. This year the scapes were taller than they've been in many years.



Summertime Revival


Bite of the Apple reblooming


The Ultimate Sacrifice reblooming.



One of the last blooms on So Irresistible. This one had a great season!


Old Time Italian x (Symphony of Praise x Natalie Antoinette)

    Wow, if that is less blooms, I can't imagine what your garden looked like in full bloom.

    I like Regale Finale and remember (?) you recommending it as late and colorfast. I tried to find it last winter but couldn't find a rust free source. It's a pretty one for a purple.....I like that pink too, Summertime Revival. I could use a late shorter pink. I could also use more room. You present many beauties I'd like to have and also a dilemma about where to put them......Shame on you-lol...............Maryl

    You have quite a few lovely clumps, and a beautiful seedling also. I am really liking Goldie Gold Digger, and So Irresistible, Summertime Revival and Ultimate Sacrifice are beautiful as well.

    I am glad you are showing so many clump shots-they are so pretty and showy!! So Irresistible is lovely as is Summertime Revival and the Old Time Italian seedling! Regal Finale has that rich color.

    Sherry - My season started nearly eight weeks ago, so it's time for most to be finishing. I'm growing weary of watering and spraying against deer and bugs.. So I'm ready to have just lates and reblooms mostly. I do have some new ones that have scaped in pots, so'll I have a few ffo's to show in the coming days.

    Debra, you still have some great ones! I've got to move my Regal Finale to get better blooming going! All My Love to You and Indian Ripples are very pretty too. I need to replace my noid that I once thought was Indian Ripples with the real thing. I also like Summertime Revival and Bite of the Apple too. Great post!

    Oh gosh they are all so beautiful, very hard to pick a favorite. Ok just to name a couple - The Ultimate Sacrifice and Miss Goldie. I love how tall it is and that combo.

    Cherry Cheeks has such nice cheerful colors, how old is your next oldest daylily?

    Nat - I'm not sure what the next oldest dayliliy is. I got rid of a bunch of oldies last fall. It's probably Orange Vols, 1981.

    Oh my, I don't remember when I last saw a picture of Cherry Cheeks. I always admired the color, mine disappeared years ago. Just don't see it much, but such an unusual color. Funny, I was thinking about it last week, and here it is. All of My Love to you is finished here, did not do as well as yours. It was another by the deck so got moved this spring. Just plopped in an open spot which happened to be between 2 taller plants. I still have stuff blooming, but not like just a couple of days ago. I am seeing more rebloom than normal though. Ultimate Sacrifice is always beautiful, and reblooms too.

    Nancy - Edward always used to post his photo of Cherry Cheeks. It had scads of buds for him. All of My Love to You started blooming here pretty late. I think it was too shaded by Musical Medley in front of it that kept getting taller and taller like a beanstalk to bloom at the proper time. But I'm enjoying having it's pretty groups of flowers this late.

    I need to move my Cherry Cheeks too. You're giving me a lot of work, Debra! LOL Are your Cherry Cheeks in full sun or part shade? Mine are in full sun but always short.

    Brad - Mine only gets five hours of sun a day. It's usually only 22-24 inches high. But this year scapes range from 27-32 inches. And the color is so deep!
