Very much slower, but an FFE and an FFO

last modified: 5 years ago

Today, I actually counted the number of blooms in the garden and there just over 300. That means there had to be at least a thousand blooms at peak.

Anyway, FFE: Bride of Dracula:


Last year, Delayed Arrival was covered up by FEnnel and did not bloom, but her it is FFO:

And just look at those weeds, and it had been conpletely weeded this spring



The little bed with several pretties looked good today:



Flamingo Heartstrings had it's best ever bloom today: It will be pretty when it clumps

    They are all beautiful and seeing your rebloom gives me hope that maybe some of mine will do that here. Fried Green Tomatoes is still outstanding. Truly Angelic I grew in my old garden and it was a favorite. The Rock Bed although not as full of blooms as before is still looking great. What a wonderful season you have had.

    The garden shots still have a lot of color, even though it's late in the season for you. I think Flamingo Heartstrings is really pretty. I love both of your rebloomers, and the Curiosity Cat clump looks like those blooms are dancing with joy.

    Thank you, Julia and Debra. Yes, Julia it has been quite a season. I hope you do get rebloom in your new garden, Julia. Truly Angelis had several more blooms, but they were somewhat scattered on the plant.


    You are right, Debra, there is a lot of color still. Whenever you have an overabundant clump lie curiosity cat, it just seems pretty, ddoesn't it.

    Flamingo Heartstrings looks maaaaaavelous today! Im sad to see that this is the last Purple Tarantula for the season, boo hoo!

    Rosemarie Louise, such a scrumptious color.

    I always like Jellyroll Morton, and Sweet Isabella is looking very good too. Spoken in Parables and Angelic are two with pink tones that are very pretty to me. Your garden is still packed with color.......Maryl

    Thank you, Sherry and Maryl, for looking and commenting on my post. That was the prettiest bloom FH has had, Sherry, but this is a first-year plant. I hate to see them bloom out, but it has been a great year.

    Maryl, Spoken in Parables has always been a tremendous bloomer in my garden and it is a rebloomer every year. I like to have a lot of colors and do a bit of changing either of plants or positions to get what I have in mind. I have been very pleasantly surprised in how well Rosemarie Louise is doing this first year, And like you, I seem to be drawn to Jellyroll Morton and can never pass the blooms without taking a photo.

    Thank you, Kate, The color is what I like about having a lot of daylilies. It has been a fun season, and it is truly about time after two months to see it winding down.. FGT is a bloom machine, it really is. I truly hated to see the last bloom on Sun Dazzle this morning. It has added a lot to the side bed. I had a car of nice folks stop to look at the flowers Sunday and hated that it was down as much as it was. I have more people stop and talk about them this year too. I am so sorry the deer have decided they like your place for dinner.

    Isn't it nice to have your garden admired? You are fortunate to have so much rebloom. I suspect too that there has been no shortage of rainfall for you. Flamingo Heartstrings certainly catches one's eye. How many Ridders do you have now?

  • 5 years ago

    Mantis, you are right, it has been very nice as I am sure you have experienced such many times. You are also correct in regard to rainfall. We have been if anything, over-blessed with rain and it continues. This morning, rain began while I was taking pictures; it was the remnant of tropical storm Danny. We have a lot of rain forecast for later in the week as well and, as you well know, the lilies love rain. As for re-bloom, the warmer seasons probably dictate that. I have about 14 or 15 Ridders I think and several of her seedlings. I usually deal with her husband rather than with Angela directly.

    Sad to see that it is the last Purple Tarantula for the year. Such a beauty. Truly Angelic would be my second choice here! Jellyroll Morton always catches my attention.

    I had to say goodbye to Spoken IN Parables. It just couldn't thrive here, few stems, few buds, no increase over a number of years. Sometimes it didn't even bloom.

    Thank you, Brad. Purple Tarantula was really good this year with an awful lot of blooms. I am sorry that Spoken in Parables did not do well there since it has been a really good one here. It is funny how a plant can be really good in one area and a mess in another area. I am hoping you get good blooms from Catastrophe Waitress this year but it may take another year before you are satisfied. I had to say "Hasta La Vista" to Sun Dazzle since it bloomed its last one a couple of days ago. Truly Angelic does well here. I could send you a start of it if you want.
