Blooms on Saturday

5 years ago

I always wonder how one determines peak bloom. I may be past peak. I have always thought when I have the same number of daylilies that have finished blooming as I have yet to bloom. Or am I overthinking it?

    Picture time, Christmas in Oz does not look right from this angle. I have a hard time sometimes seeing my camera image outside


    Snow Blizzard



    Aztec Beauty


    Not a good angle on Jerry Hyatt either



    Ruffled Candy, looks similar to Elegant Candy but not nearly as good a plant for me


    Entwined in the Vine just keeps pumping out blooms



    White Unto Harvest

    Entwined in the Vine looks so happy in your garden! I also like Snow Blizzard, I do like doubles and have added a few here.

    Your lovely photo of Entwined in the Vine is my favorite Nancy, but I also like Jerry Hyatt and White Unto Harvest.

    A nice batch Nancy. I like your shot of EITV, and think Snow Blizzard looks interesting. Christmas in Oz is one of the very few Ufs I've grown and liked. My favorite I think is Aztec Beauty. Those blended colors are so pretty..............Maryl

    Sherry, I was at a daylily convention and saw this one, everyone noticed it.

    Kay, Eitv may pass Clown Parade as my absolute favorite, but CP is working extra hard this year to keep on top. It has been full of blooms this year, and just keeps going.

    Maryl, I love Aztec Beauty too. Not a high bud count and would be nice if just a few inches taller. The pros though, every flower is absolutely perfect in color and form, they are very consistent in appearance that almost look fake.

    Nancy, EITV is shining in that spot! Evidently you picked the right place for it! White Unto Harvest looks like a good white. And Aztec Beauty has a pleasing color. I see wh you like it.

    I've always thought of peak bloom as when you have the most daylilies blooming - the earlies and the mids together. Entwined in the Vine and Aztec Beauty are my favorites of these today.

    EITV is lovely. I really like Christmas in Oz. I agree with Debra. I consider peak when i have the heaviest bloom and sometimes as Mantis tells me, It rolls on me.

    My favorite today is Entwined in the Vine. I keep telling myself we need to get that but since we are seriously trying to downsize (we have said that before), I doubt I'll get it. I will just have to keep looking at your lovely pictures.

    Entwined In The Vine is looking great. Aztec Beauty has that peachy/apricot color. Nice photo.

    Kate, i do think EiTV likes that spot, but it is right beside the sidewalk. If it continues getting this height, I will have to move it. Sweet Isabella is maybe 10" taller than I expected, by the sidewalk too.

    Debra, I think I must be at peak now, not all my mids have bloomed but a few ML have started. I have a couple of EM that are running late.

    Kay I will have to get a better picture of Christmas in Oz, it is really pretty.

    Nancy, I hope you do a better job than I do of downsizing. Last year I managed not to gain clumps. I gained a few in number of named plants, but got rid of several duplicate clumps I had, and a few plants. That counts, doesn't it?

    Thank you Julia.
