Friday's Festive Clumps

5 years ago

I envy all of you who've gotten lots of rain. My rain gauge says my yard got just under a quarter inch. But even with so little moisture, the daylilies had more vibrant color today.


If I had to name the best performer in my garden this season, it would be The Tribble With Blue. It's had large, floriferous clumps everyday since the beginning of June, and now it has lots of rebloom scapes coming.


All of My Love to You just started blooming this week.



Gillian is kind of short this time, but it has a lot of blooms.



Maney Augustine



Crintonic Rain Dances



Magnify the Lord

    Now Debra, how am I supposed to choose one from all of that beauty? but then I see Maney Augustine and I do love that bloom so I guess I( can choose a favorite. Magnify the Lord is beautiful, and so is Crintonic Rain Dances. I am so glad you posted that clump of Neon Flamingo. For some reason mine was bland this year...pretty and pink, but not Neon pink. The Color of Wonderful is just that, and your seedling is lovely.

    I look forward to seeing my Neon Flamingo, it should open soon. New this spring, so trying to keep my expectations down. Beautiful clump of All of my Live to You. Mine went from 4 fans to one overwinter. Hope it revives! Love Maney Augustine, Zuzu's Treasure, and your seedling.

    I like Magnify the Lord, but seldom see it offered. A parent, Desperado Love, is not a fast increaser here. (El Desperado is much faster.) All of My Love to You is a fast increaser here.

    Mantis - I bought Magnify the Lord directly from Karol Emmerich. She sent me three or four fans two falls ago, and now it's eight. Desperado Love has always increased well here.

    Nancy - I think you will like Neon Flamingo. It' put on a nice show here. It is one that's hard to photograph - at least for me.

    Kay - Maney Augustine is a nice, bright, cheerful daylily. It's not an early morning opener for me.

    Wonderful clumps. I like Maney Augustine more and more-just lovely! The Neon Flamingo is pretty and The Color of Wonderful looks great. Love the Alan Agin seedling-appears I am in a pink mood today.

    What beautiful clumps! I know you put in a lot of time grooming those flowers for those wonderful photos. I always miss a dead flower somewhere.


    Maney Augustine really catches my eye as does Gillian. Your seedlings are lovely. I like Zuzu's Treasure X Dearest Valentine. I love the watermark.

    Nan - Maney Augustine would be a good one for you to use in hybridizing. Gillian is an oldie than can still turn heads. The Zuzu's Treasure seedling is very simple but clean, and it has instant rebloom. Thanks for your comments!

    Wow, Debra! These clumps look exceptional. Standouts are Maney Augustine and All of My Love to You. I've never seen MA offered for sale anywhere. Can I ask where you got yours? It is really something special.

  • 5 years ago

    Celeste - As far as I know the only place you can get Maney Augustine is from the hybridizer, Chad Bush. Google Chad Bush daylily intros, and it will take you to his site. He used to sell his some of his intros on the Lily Auction. Maney Augustine is named after his gramdmother, and the other Bush cultivar I have, Betty Bush, is named for his mother. Both of those cultivars have done well for me, and I would recommend them. Eventually I will have enough of both to sell.

    Debra: These are awesome photos. Stunning multiblooms. Victorian Garden Emerald Breeze I plan to go and lookup. How does it do in your garden?

    Julia - Victorian Garden Emerald Breeze has been slow to multiply here and never seems to have a lot of buds. It does have large, pretty blooms that are sunfast in the hottest temps. I don't know where you would find it these days. Paul Owen used to carry it, but no longer does. And Victorian Garden no longer seems to do active sales.

    Debra: Sorry to hear it doesn't do well for you and it may be hard to find.. I'm looking for a round form yellow plus a UF yellow. My husband loves yellow so gotta make sure I add in that color.

    Julia

    Julia - Most of my whites and yellows get eaten by grubs. I'm sure grown elsewhere, it would do OK.
