Blooms on Saturday.

5 years ago

Early weather predictions called for rain, but then the forecasters changed it and we had a lovely, although rather humid day, in the garden. After yesterday's inch of rain, the daylilies were large.

The jury is still out on whether Bengali will be hardy here.

Dribble or Shoot is new to the garden. The flower is big and very flat.

This Extreme Tangerine has better sepals than the one I posted the other day.

Heavenly Start Your Engines is registered as late but it's blooming way before the other lates.

Mitch Lynd was disturbed last year and is not back to full speed yet.

Primal Scream heart talking about eliminating it from the garden so it decided to show off.

Red Friday is a horribly erratic flower and this is about as good as it gets.

More to come . . .

Shreddy was huge today.

Snarl is an interesting flower.

I love the bloom of Sweet Isabela.

The Bride of Dracula is a favorite.

Rosy Wren is an interesting small flower.

Here is the royal court.

The color on Apricot Symphony X Etosha is more rose in person. This is a possible future intro,

I think this one is my personal favorite today. This is Bodacious Bite X (Wolverine X On Your Knees You Will Find Him).

I don't know what caused all the splotchiness on this Unknown X Unknown seedling.

I think I posted this one before, but it was nice today. This is Princess of Alexandria X (Sea of Cinders X Happy Holidays to You).

This is one called The Jumble. The seeds were knocked off the table and all mixed together.

That's enough for today.

I loved Bengali, started out with 2 fans, it bloomed nicely, rebloomed, added a fan or 2, t hen would lose the new fans. The 3rd year it came back after winter only 1 fan and it died over summer. I hope you keep us posted on how it does for you. If it does prove hardy for you I would try it again. I like the Bride of Dracula with all the fangs. Sweet Isabella is lovely. Love your 1st 2 seedlings.

The first two seedlings are wonderful! I’m with you, the second seedling is my favorite too. Sweet Isabella and Primal Scream are my favorite named ones. my Primal Scream was abused by me…. its in a new spot and hoping for a better showing.

The oranges have it today! Such varation of colors and all so bright. You picked a great name for Extreme Tangerine. The teeth are really showing up on Bride of Dracula. And of course the seedlings are all very easy on the eyes!!
