Monday's Marvels

4 years ago
last modified: 4 years ago

Well, this will be last cool morning for awhile. Lots of flowers couldn't open for awhile, so I didn't take many photos this morning. These are from today and yesterday.

No Boys Allowed x Unk #2 had especially nice colors today. It's the tallest of the siblings, but has not increased since last year.


Blazing Saddles seedling



Seedling "Big Pink" has its greatest number of flowers so far - 18. The clump with all those 7.5-8 inch flowers was quite amazing in person. My photo doesn't do it justice.



Boundless Beauty ffo


The Color of Wonderful


Orchid Linen


Untamed Heart



Some self-seeded Gloriosa Daisies. Last year I had none. But this year about 20 new ones came up.

    That seedling "Big Pink" is really something. If it looks that good in a picture I can only imagine what your eyes are actually seeing.............The Color of Wonderful is always one of my favorites of yours too.................Maryl

    Another group of beautiful seedlings! That clump of 'Big Pink' is beautiful. Untamed Heart is beautiful too. I love the gloriosa daisy. We have some volunteers coming up too.

    The clump of Big Pink is gorgeous. I can only hope that Boundless Beauty will look as good as yours when it blooms here. Beautiful pics Debra.

    We had a big drop in morning temps so I am glad only one daylily is blooming.

    Wow! Big Pink is a gorgeous thing like that! You have to be proud of that one. Untamed Heart is a beautiful display too. And the Blazing Saddles Seedling is a looker too.

    Thanks everyone for your comments about Big Pink. When I register it, if I get the name I want, it will have Queen in the title.


    Kay and Nan - Thanks for mentioning my intro, Untamed Heart. It's a pretty thing, although it's bud count is down a lot this season. I hope it will rebloom like it did last year.

    Aren’t they impressive in nig clumps? And when they are as pretty as that pink seedling, pretty spectacular! Untamed Heart is also pretty amazing in clump form. Orchid Linen? Have you had thst one long? The edges really stand out-also great color on the Blazing Saddles seedling. After a wonderful start to my Boundless Beauty blooms, they have since shrunk in size probably due to the heat.

    I love the ”big pink” seedling and that clump of Untamed Heart is great, almost as nice as big pink ; )

    Boundless Beauty is showing off early in the season….we are into the big heat tomorrow along with you.

    Kate - I got Orchid Linen three seasons ago. It did not bloom until last year, and every bloom was horribly splotchy. It's much better this year, and I have never seen it such a dark purple color. Last year it looked rosy lavender. The edge was what first attracted me, and it can get much wider than in today's photo. I bought OL because it was registered as a dormant, but it has been evergreen here two winters. I'm hoping it will pass on its lovely edge to offspring.


    Sherry - The first flowers on Boundless Beauty are always enormous. It has been a good performer here.

    No Boys Allowed x Unk #2 and the Color of Wonderful really stand out to me. Orchid Linen is also pretty.

    Thanks Brad! You are the only person who mentioned the No Boys Allowed seedling. I really like its colors a lot and will be moving it to better place to see if I can get it to multiply better. The Color of Wonderful is not always that dark in color. It's always pretty and one of the most vigorous pinks I have.
