Late Season Is Here

5 years ago
last modified: 5 years ago

Normally I'm just about out of blooms by now, but since many daylilies were two or three weeks late this time, I still have quite a bit of bloom.

Soli deo Gloria - Finally a beautiful, clean bloom!


Kentucky Lucky



Mister Mayor


Miss Goldie Gold Digger



The Blues Project



Dance Again is still dancing.



I Remember You


My Pet Dragon



Zuzu's Treasure X Dearest Valentine in a pyramid formation. Something I like about this seedling is that most of the flowers are upfacing. It also makes a very pretty clump in the late season.


Seedling "Rubber Maid" x Pink Aloha will be blooming throughout July because of its high bud count.

    So many really nice clump shots. My Pet Dragon really caught my attention today. I’m not always an orange fan, but I’d add that one in a hot minute. it is so weird you have daylilies blooming late…….almost every plant in my gardens are at least two weeks early. Reindeer Antlers has been blooming for three weeks, it should be starting at the rnd of July.

    Sherry - My Pet Dragon is a vigorous one. I have it planted in a lousy spot, but it still does pretty well. I think the weird Spring weather has daylilies everywhere mixed up about when to bloom. The ones planted in a sheltered area next to my house bloomed on time, but nothing else did.

    All beautiful pics. I agree with Sherry on My Pet Dragon. Good color and form and one I would also add. Kentucky Lucky was always a favorite of mine in the old garden. Miss Goldie Gold Digger is fabulous in a clump. Does it lean with so many blooms open? The seedlings are winners in my book. What color would you say is Zuzu's Treasure X Dearest Valentine? I'm not sure how to find a true late bloomer in my new locaton.

    Too many I like again I in this post. Like every one

    Absolutely love the purples. The Rubber Maid seedling really attracts me too. My Pet Dragon is really a vigorous one. I keep wanting to downsize, starting with orange ones, but they are all such good bloomers! Visitors seem to like the orange ones too.

    I am pretty much done with clumps. I have always admired your Kentucky Lucky, especially in clump form. Miss Goldie Gold Digger certainly is impresive. The seedlings are looking good!

    Julia - Nancy and I were lucky enough to get My Pet Dragon as a gift plant from the Region 10 Meeting two years ago. The Zuzu's Treasure seedling is lavender, and the watermark is usually white, although in some temps it looks like a very light lavender. The scapes on Miss Goldie don't lean badly unless there are storms with high winds. Those will take down the scapes.


    Nancy - You have to keep a few of the orange ones to balance out all the purples. I'm glad you like the Rubber Maid seedling.


    Kate - Miss Goldie is pretty impressive, especially when you consider it's growing in part shade. When it used to get more sun, it multiplied rapidly and always rebloomed. Someday I may find a sunnier spot for it.

    Lovely photos. My favorite today is your pink seedling with the lavender one close behind. Of the named varieties, I like My Pet Dragon.


    Our season seems to be a bit off. The lates seem a bit early and the peak seems a bit late. I don't quite know how to reconcile those two ideas.

    Hoosier Nan - You and a couple of others mentioned My Pet Dragon. There must be something about the photo. It is striking, but not one of my favorites. You are also the second person to mention the pink seedling. The bud counts of 26 and 27 make it attractive to me, but I'm not sure about registering it. The edge is ruffled but not fancy.

    So many beauties, Debra! Soli Deo Gloria is beautiful! My per Dragon is striking, Dance again is a beauty and so is the Blues Project as well as MIss Goldie Gold Digger but Mr Mayor is striking. Nice post.

    You have a couple of cultivars blooming in a pyramid. It is very photogenic.

  • 5 years ago

    Mantis - Yes, it is photogenic. I look for those pyramids.
