SHOWTIME MAGIC and others

5 years ago

Hot and humid, like the rest of the country.

I know I talk about this plant year after year and how it is my only consistent rebloomer. SHOWTIME MAGIC is a Bennett intro that I seem to love more and more every year. I love the polychrome colors (yellow, orange, pink, peach and green). This year has been outstanding due to the continued rain.

This is one of the rebloom scapes. The other looks just like it with the branching and buds.

CLOWNS IN WASHINGTON: (I think I will save some of its pollen to use on PINK TARANTULA next year).

That is all for me.

You know how I love the Bennetts! This one does indeed look fantastic. What wonderful color! I totally understand your appreciation of it. Unfortunately, voles ravaged my Bennett bed this year and destroyed three of them before I discovered it. My outside cats were bringing up a vole or two every day but I did not explore my backyard beds until the damage had been done. One other is in a "recovery pot" and I think it may survive. They must be tasty as that is the only bed they were munching in. I have a jungle bed 20 feet away with mostly noids that they never touched! I will replace these this fall. I have been fighting critters in the garden this year: deer, rabbits and voles. And now, army worms in the lawn!! Sorry, that sounded like a rant while in truth it is just a shrug of what happens when one lives in the rural country!!

Very nice lates, David. Clowns in Washington seems like it should be a daylily that never does anything right. Glad it does well!

Showtime is gorgeous and Clowns in Washington always brings a smile. It sounds like a good plan to breed with Pink Tarantual.

I agree with others that Showtime Magic is a looker. I always smile when someone posts Clowns In Washington. I still have family in NY and hear about all the rain this year. At least your not in the 90's like it is here again. Could use some rain right about now.

Exciting. Looking forward to your annual assessment of top Bennetts. And hope that you soon have enough of this one to distribute.
