A Few for Saturday

5 years ago

Most of the fancy ones still can't open. Here were a few that looked good this morning.


A Little Night Music - When it's cool, the eye and edge are a true purple. In the 90s, the purple takes on some red tones.


Bill Norris - This has always been 24-25 inches for me for almost 20 years. After two years of getting grub preventive, it has several scapes at the registered 30 and one that is 34 inches tall. In the past, I've always had less than 15 buds per scape on this one. This season two scapes have more than 20 buds. It's going to be a beautiful clump this season.



Cool Twister is a Lambertson that does very well here.


Here's my early near-white seedling again. All these years I've grown it, I didn't think it could rebloom, but almost every fan in the line-out bed has double scapes.

    Hooray for your white seedling! Gotta love that instant rebloom! I am also glad Bill Norris has finally decided to perform for you. Ours has always been great (although I think it needs to be divided now). I love the color of A Little Night Music. Cool Twister is a beautiful color.

    A Little Night Music is gorgeous. That is great news about your near-white seedling!

    Laura and Nan - I am so pleased with the white seedling this season. It just continues to surprise me. And it has me thinking others that are not doing well in the seedling bed may perform a lot better if they have more sun and space.


    I love the blooms on A Little Night Music, and it always reblooms for me. But it's not planted in the best spot. I may move it later in the summer, so it's with the new Salters I bought.

    A Little Night Music is beatiful. Bill Norris is the kind of yellow I like. Are all the buds behind Cool Twister part of that daylily? Your near white seedling is very pretty. How does it hold up in the rain?

    So hot here today. This northern gal is not use to 90's this early in the season.

    As i walk my garden, the color combo that A Little Night Music has seems to be most prevalent so I like this one!! It would be great to have that deep purple every time it bloomed because it is luscious!

    Kate and Juia - I do like the color combo on A Little Night Music.

    Julia - I'll have to see how the white seedling does in the rain. I'm thinking it doesn't have problems, but I'll watch next week to see. Yes, all those buds by the Cool Twister blooms are Cool Twister buds. It sounds like you are hotter than we are today. Our high was 88.

    Your white seedling is pretty; I especially like A Little Night Music. Bill Norris is a cheerful; yellow.

    i love A Little Night Music and the white seedling, those rebloom scapes are the best surprises! The high temp today was 92, and i will repeat, We Need RAIN. This northern girl is having trouble with the 90s too, to early in the season here to suit me .

    Sherry - It seems like our weather is turned topsy turvy. It should be in the 90s here, but it was only 88 on Saturday. The next week will have temps under 85 here.

    A Little Night Music is so pretty. You have one, thinking it is Dearest Mahogany or am I confusing it with your Valentine?, which do you like better?

    A Little Night Music is very nice. It looks like the white is very white.

    Nancy - I probably like A Little Night Music a bit better than Dearest Mahogany because it always reblooms. So far, Dearest Mahogany has not rebloomed. Neither is positioned to reach its potential. A Little Night Music doesn't get enough sun, and Dearest Mahogany is still being grown in a pot.

    Brad - A Little Night Music has a very light - almost white - petal color.

    Thank you for quick response, Debra! I always appreciate your opinion since we are pretty much the same
