daylilies still blooming

6 years ago

Some are on their very last buds, a couple just started

American Freedom is blooming on another rebloom scape



Freedom's Triumph, reblooming


Boundless Beauty has a few buds left


A couple of years ago I was going to get rid of Brave World, less than 5 blooms per scape, but decided to move it. It immediately took off, in what I think of as the worst area in my garden. A bit more clay soil, never gets watered, but has over 15 buds per scape now. Who woulda thunk it?


Cradle of Bethlehem, I really like it. It has multiplied a lot, but only 2 scapes this year. I think it should put on a nice show next year


Dances With Giraffes still ha a few blooms, I like the graceful look of it, and has been in bloom 6 weeks almost


Filled to Overflowing just started blooming. Usually blooms much earlier, I had decided it was not going to bloom this year


Fried Green Tomatoes' last bud. I hope it does as well as Kay's plant in a year or 2


Hakuna Matata, I counted buds again. Buds have come out a little more so easier to count. Not much difference, but got 50, 44, and 41 now on its 3 scapes. I sure hope it keeps this up

    And more

    Lemon Crinkles, a late one, not a lot of buds though


    Madge Cayce is having a good year


    I got Olfactory Evidence for scent, I can't detect any. But then I always check in the morning, maybe I should check in the afternoon


    Orange Velvet is still going strong. It has a couple of rebloom scapes to open too, so should go quite a while


    Orchid Corsage is looking very faded. I used to have it closer to the house, it held color much better there


    Party Pinafore had its last 2 blooms today, one of my favorite daylilies. Unless it decide to add a few more buds, it does seem to some years


    So Lovely


    Soli Deo Gloria is getting better every day. I was expecting more of a white edge. Just got this one last fall from Laura. I was afraid it might be a fussy plant when the 1st scape on it all the flowers were distorted. So far all on this scape have looked pretty good


    Sweet Isabela is so pretty


    Valley Monster absolutely covered in ants. I would have checked this one for scent, but did not want to mess with ants! VM used to have more color on the edges, but almost looks pure gold now.


    Last bloom for White Eyes Pink Dragon


    Quite a few buds left on White Unto Harvest


    Hydrangea and phlox, don't look at the weeds

    Wow! Hakuna Matata is the bud king of the year for our group! I still covet Freedom's Triumph, and I love how the petals are curving on Isabell Rose! You really have a lot still blooming!

    I remember you posting Party Pinafore recently. I really like it, sorry to see it’s done now. I see you and Debra both have Soli Deo Gloria, so pretty, I will be watching that one.

    Nice set of blooms. Freedom's Triumph was a bit off this year here. White Eyes Pink Dragon looks very good and big. I'm impressed with your Hakuna Matata. Great colors. Filled To Overflowing is listed as a midseason but here too, it just started blooming last week.

    So many different blooms-something for everyone!! Isabelle Rose throws. Really pretty bloom. My Freedom’s Triumph is in a terrible spot but I never seem to find the time to move it! Maybe your blooms will inspire me. I got Hakuna Matata last fall-it bloomed this year but I hope next year will bloom half as much as yours!! White unto Harvest is such a lovely-great bunch of blooms, Nancy,

    Lots of good stuff going on. Your So Lovely is a lot more yellow. Mine is almost real white, especially this year. As to Brave World, moving mine about 3 years ago did the same. It went from short and few buds to tall and loaded. The location difference is it gets a little less sun now.

    Cradle of Bethlehem and White Eyes Pink Dragon are so very pretty.

    Kay, I had thought when I got Isabelle Rose, I should not be cause I have quite a few of that cream/off white color. Of course after it bloomed I am so happy I got it.

    Debra, I am liking Freedom's Triumph too, and do nice to get rebloom from it. Surprising because it is in quite a bit of shade from baptisia. This is its 2nd full year and it has not multiplied much, probably due to shade and roots from the baptisia crowding it. I moved some of the baptisia a couple of years ago so may take out this plant.

    Sherry, I love the color on Party Pinafore. It is supposed to be an early mid daylily. But I think it is more mid late here, it is finishing with them.

    Thanks Julia!

    I am sure Hakuna Matata will do just as well for you, Kate. I love it. I was telling someone that the only bad thing about it is that the 2 scapes with the most blooms lean. Then I saw a mockingbird land on it several times. HM is close to my porch where my cats hang out. The mockingbirds fly around and fuss at the cats. I am sure the cats have done something to deserve it, but that may be contributing to the lean more than wind.

    Brad, So Lovely does look very yellow there, but in person is a cream color. Definitely not as white as Gentle Shepherd, but not yellow either.

    You have a lot of pretties blooming! American Freedom is so nice, great to have it rebloom. Boundless Beauty is a beautiful one with its ruffles. Wow Hakuna Matata is really a bud queen! Isabelle Rose looking perfect again. I like too many to mention lol Oh I grow and like Party Pinafore too, such a cute flower isn't it. Mine doesn't always open flat but it doesn't look bad on her like some other DLs.

    Wow, Nancy, lots of blooms! Hakuna Matata is quite the performer, I love it. I've never counted buds on mine, but I know there are a ton. I'll have to try to count a few scapes this year. Mine had it's FFO here just a few days ago, it's just getting started.
