The Big Ones (in bloom)

Hit 101 today. I think it's the big one Elizabeth (from the Redd Foxx show back in the day). Horrible and going to get worse Friday......Aside from the temperature what also impressed me were 3 large bloomed daylilies that were not UFs.

I lost this decades old favorite of mine during the arctic blast year before last, and had a hard time getting it back. I adore it and when it bloomed I was reminded of why. Large blooms the color of orange sorbet.

Coral Corduroy:



A new bloomer for me this year from Marietta. The blooms are well over 7 inches and the buds are fat balloons ready to burst at any moment. The color is a sweet polychrome yellow/pink that is lovely all day:

There Is A Heaven:


Finally, my largest bloom. I measured it and it works out to 8 1/2 inches across. I hope never to be without it:

To God Be The Glory:

    Only got to 97 here, I think. Well. Did not watch the weather, it was 97 when I briefly turned the TV on at 6:00. Humidity is down here from last week, so I can bear to go outside, but I hear it is going up. Going to Lexingon for the Bluegrass daylily thing happening Friday and Sat. Saturday is going to only be 90, supposedly.

    I don't know which of your 3 I like best, Maryl. Maybe there Is A Heaven, such a beautiful picture. I really like them all.

    We hit heat index of 106 today. So not used to this kind of heat this early. I am so glad you found Coral Corduroy again. I know how you searched for it. I like the others as well. To God be the Glory looks huge and flat. You know I like those!!

    Thank you everyone for looking and commenting. I hate to say this about my own daylilies, but I really love the colors on these 3 in particular and the fact that they have such large blooms just tickles me even more. In this heat, it's nice when something good happens to us ..............Maryl

    Those large non-uf forms really are a favorite of mine too. I love all three of yours! I do have a few of this type and really enjoy them. I'm hoping that a new seedling that will be blooming for me soon will be one of those.

    I like all three of these large and lovely daylilies. I'm glad you found a replacement for Coral Corduroy. The size of To God Be the Glory is impressive. What a whopper! It's supposed to reach 101 here today. It's 99 at 1:40, so I think it will that high at 3 or 4.

    Brad: As most know, I favor full form blooms in my garden. I look forward to seeing any seedlings you have with it. You certainly have done wonders with your lavender seedlings...........Thank you Sherry. I try and post most of mine on your Alpha list or Debra's color list when I can...........Debra: This heat is just awful. And it came on the heels of constant rain and cool temperatures in April/ May. I still have plants I haven't dealt with in my garden because of the temperature shift. I just can't find the energy to shift pots around for display. They are calling for cooler temperatures Sunday (around 90). That's still uncomfortable in my book, but I guess I'll take it. I'm so sorry to hear about your drought conditions. We need rain also, but good luck with that wish.................Maryl
