Some late blooms on a hot day

6 years ago
last modified: 6 years ago

I got a chance to sit down and thought I would post a few blooms

American Freedom is blooming on a rebloom scape, It is more yellow than original blooms, but not as bright as it seems here


Big Kiss


Diamonds for Divas can be pretty, but it hangs up a lot and blooms are all in one spot. I have had it 3 years, got it as a single fan and looks like I may finally be getting a 2nd fan


Cradle of Bethlehem looks much better in person. It was a bit hazy this morning, I guess from humidity


Dublin Elaine has never done that well, til I told it that it was gone this year. Much better, and it gets saved for another year. Not that big on doubles, but I don't have very many


Final Frontier is my latest bloomer, started yesterday. It looks like it will have quite a few blooms, as usual, so should last a while


Isabelle Rose, funny today


Olfactory Evidence


Regina Sitko gets better with each bloom. Not many buds but new this spring


Savannah Debutante

    Small World Dreams Come True has done really well this year, still some buds left


    So Lovely


    Soli Deo Gloria


    Tuscawilla Tigress


    White Unto Harvest is doing well for 1st season


    White Zone, not as white as it appears


    Margo Reed Indeed has buds in low 20s



    Well out of the foliage, but leaning. I think the clump is growing under the walkway there. Can't see all the scapes, but the last couple of years it has been exceptional.


    Cream seedling



    Boundless Beauty, a really nice plant. So glad I allowed myself to get this one, a winner.

    Nancy, I agree about Boundless Beauty. Although a first year plant, it bloomed like crazy and every bloom was near perfect. I Iike your cream seedling. Tuscawilla Tigress is a bright one, isn't it? I unearthed mine in the jungle bed and although it did not have a tag on it, I knew what it was when it bloomed! White Unto Harvest looks to be doing exceptionally well! Nice blooms. Lots of different ones blooming for you.

    I like your whites. Glad Margo Reed Indeed does well for you.

    I grew Tuscawilla Tigress for years. It did need PM shade here to keep the color from washing out as much, but it was very reliable and striking............How is Soli De Gloria doing for you? I've been looking at her for awhile, but she seems to be always on "display", which to me translates into (perhaps) not a lot of vigor......Savanah Debutante looks like a very pretty double....................Maryl

    Maryl, Soli is new this year, so can't say too much. I received as 2 fans last fall. It came up with 2 mature fans and 2 tiny fans. A mature fan put out a scape, but flowers were all very deformed. Then one of the smaller fans shot up a scape and flowers from those have looked good. The 1st was just a bit splotchy. I have read that it is very slow to multiply, but read nothing yet that it is a weak plant. Right now, keeping my fingers crossed. If I lose a plant from natural causes, it is after they bloom.

    I like American Freedom, and that's great that your get rebloom. I have its sibling, Minstrel Singer, which I think has a less vigorous plant habit than AF. It's similar in coloration and form and is supposed to rebloom, but never has for me. I think my favorite is Soli Deo Gloria, which I got from Laura this Spring and should bloom here in a few days. I'm glad to know Margo Reed Indeed did well for you, since so many on forun said theirs was short this year. Mine was short and only bloomed on two scapes. Boundless Beauty is a great one for the later season. I'm glad you and Kate agree. Your cream seedling is very pretty! I used to grow Dublin Elaine, and it always rebloomed for me. But it was on the side of the yard that became too shady for daylilies, and I sold it. I hope it's out there blooming away beautifully for its current owners.

    Small World Dreams Com True is a pretty one, Nancy and I like Soli Deo Gloria. That is a lovely seedling.

    Debra, I think American Freedom has rebloomed every year I have had it except that 1st year. My complaint the 1st few years, fans did not multiply. Then suddenly last year it doubled in size-to 4 fans. This year there are 7. It did quite well this year. Scapes a little taller than usual. I am liking Soli deo Gloria more with every bloom.

    Kay, this is 2nd year for the Small World. Last year I did not even notice it bloomed, very short scape and only a couple of buds. If it improves as much next year (its leap year) as it has this year, it will be

    Very nice! Cradle of Bethlehem is my favorite of all of these.
