Sunday's Sizzlers

It was very hot and muggy here today. I'm hoping we get some rain in the coming days.

Dearest Valentine has started blooming. It's about two weeks later than normal.


Zuzu's Treasure started a couple of days ago. It has never bloomed before Dearest Valentine before.


Hoochie Coochie Man


Red Edition



Jeanne Deaver's Dream



Spacecoast Ojo Rojo


Spacecoast Francis Busby - Sorry about the mushies. The daylilies have multiplied and grown together so much, I can't get to this one to deadhead.



Magnify the Lord


Sweet Prairie Wind is still blooming away. It's doing better than anything else in my front garden this year.



New seedling today out of White Tooth x Skater



More to come in the comments

    Grove Park Terrace had such pretty colors today, I had to show it again.



    Razor Sharp X SC Night Vision


    (Palace Garden Beauty X Karelia) x This Longing #2



    Yellow seedling in the sun where you can see the green overlay. The yellow is really darker than what you see. I just can't seem to capture it with my camera. The pink seedling to the left is Old Time Italian x (Natalie Antoinette X Symphony of Praise)

    Dearest Valentine looks so pretty. Red Edition is good too, I had that one briefly. It bloomed, then died, but blooms were really nice. S. Francis Busby looks so great. My very favorite may be your Razor Sharp

    Dearest Valentine looks good. I have not had a good bloom yet-hopefully tomorrow!! First the heavy rains ruined the blooms and then the heavy dew. Sweet Prairie Wind is gorgous in thst clump form. The new seedling is also pretty and the Razor Sharp seedling is pretty awesome!

    I love Dearest Valentine. Mine had its first flower open today, but with our early morning rain, it didn't open well. If it quits raining (it's rained off and on all day--one period with an inch and three quarters), maybe i will see a good one soon.


    I always love seeing SC Francis Busby--such vibrant colors. Sweet Prairie Wind is wonderful too.


    Your seedlings look great. I like White Tooth X Skater and Razor Sharp X SC Night Vision.

    I think my Valentine Sweetheart threw up a bloom yesterday, but the rain came and I couldn't go out to see if it was really VS. The fact that she was a survivor of the February Arctic blast of 2021, just increases my appreciation of your hybridizing efforts. She was set back of course, but not enough so that she isn't putting up some scapes this year.........I like your Razor Sharp x SC Night Vision seedling. Of the others, I like Red Edition with the white edge and Sweet Prairie Wind is strutting her stuff for you.............Maryl

    Thanks everyone for the comments on Dearest Valentine, SC Fran and my seedlings! I wish DV bloomed as well for some of you as it does here.


    Maryl - I'm so glad DV survived that long stretch of low temps you had last winter.


    Nancy - I'm so sorry your Red Edition died. Mine has been particularly spotchy this year until the past few days. In the place I originally had it planted it would increase fans and then lose them every year, and it was short. I figured it was the grubs, so I moved it in back of my barn. It's kept all its fans there and is twice the height it was in front, but it hasn't had increase since I moved it two falls ago. If it ever increases again, I'll send you a piece.

    I love the seedling from White Tooth X Skater, a real winner. Such a nice photo of your yellow seedling with the green overlay, it makes a yellow special. My Dearest Valentine and Zuzu’s Treasure both have scapes. Zuzu will definitely bloom first here too. Coco’s Curiosity is doing marvelously, it has two scapes!

    Sherry - Glad to see my babies have scapes in your garden and are ready to go! I'll be looking for pictures of them. Thanks for the comments on the seedlings!
