Some multiples today

6 years ago
last modified: 6 years ago

Many of you post multiples, but I rarely do. Today, however, was a good day for multiples. It was also a good day for teeth as many of them are mid-late. We had a good rain last night and everything looked nice today.

Bass Gibson was out doing itself. We have two clumps in the garden and both were lovely.



The Bride of Dracula has produced lots of flowers this year.



Odontos is showing nicer flowers.



Mighty Chestnut has some open today.



Interview with a Vampire had a bad year last year, but it seems to be bouncing back. I think I put too many pods on it the previous year.


Now for some singletons. This is Ashwood Summer Sunshine, a great performer in our garden.


Irish Vampire Fangs almost died when it was first planted but now it's doing better.



More to come . . .

    I left this multiple out earlier. This is Prism Dragon.



    Beastmaster is shorter than we like.

    Jena Sallenger is one of the best examples of a bicolor I know. It really is a rather unique color.

    I don't love Ramming Speed. It's a vigorous grower, but the color is very harsh.

    Umbrella Cockatoo is one of many yellows we own.

    Seedling Queen is not a new one but one we are excited about. This is Lady Stephanie Victoria Redding X Rosy Spiketail. If it has enough buds, it will probably be an introduction.


    Another seedling we are excited about is this one. It is Never Too Late X Mitch Lynd. The flower is rather small and it seems to be a late bloomer.

    This one has a rather complicated parentage. It also just started blooming this season. It is New Tangerine Twist X( (Southern Summer X Born to Run) X Gypsy Rose).

    That's enough for today.

    You have lots of nice toothy ones today. I think Odonotos is my favorite of those. Bass Gibson sure does well for you, and makes an impressive clump. Mighty Chestnut stands out to me. My favorite of the seedlings is the Never Too Late child. How nice that it's a late bloomer.!

    Ah, the clumps! It doesn't seem to matter what the bloom is, they just always make a statement in clump form! And you certainly have some nice ones. Teeth are just going to have to grow on me but that clump of Bass Gibson is really something! I like the big eye on Prism Dragon. I had not seen Jena Sallenger before and I kept scrolling back to look at it. It is certainly unique. The seedlings are nice-I really like the last one. I totally agree about Ramming Speed. I have just never liked it and I have two huge clumps of it and it bloomed better this year than ever but still.....just not feeling it!!

    The Lady Stephanie seedling looks like a real winner. It makes a very debonair display with its triangular throat. I hope the size is 6 inches. Boatwright describes Jena Sallenger as a rosy orange, and his picture has more of a rusty color.

    I really like the Jena bitone and your clump shots are lovely. I always like your toothy seedlings, the last one pictured is exceptional.

    Wow, that is one large clump of Bass Gibson. The toothy ones are amazing. Jena Sallenger is one I would pick due to its uniqueness. Wonderful photo of it.

    Your clump shots are amazing, and my favorites. I really like your seedling Queen and Never too Late seedling. I know you plant a bajillion seends, but you do get some amazing seedlings!

    Really great clump shots Nancy. Some of my favorite blooms are Jena Sallenger, Never Too Late X Mitch Lynd, and the last complicated seedling.

    Mantis, you are right about the color on Jena Sallenger. It was overcast yesterday and I didn't use the white paper trick. Here is a picture from today that is truer to color.

    I like your seedling Never too late mitch. Lots of nice other one in this post too. I always look forward to Mighty Chestnut. It's still on my long list. I think it's a color I will either love or hate, but it looks very intriguing in your photos............Maryl
