Some FFE's and Improved Blooms

4 years ago

Now that we're a couple of day's removed from the hundred-degree temperatures, some daylilies are starting to look better. I'm waiting to see if Houzz ever posts my lost seedling thread. If it doesn't show up by tomorrow, I'll reconstruct and post it.


I'll start with the FFE's:

Breathing in Snowflakes ffe - The color is probably a bit lighter than it should be.



Isabelle Rose ffe - Just one flower of this doesn't impress me. But I was wowed by the clump in the garden where this plant originated.



Hoopla ffo


Maney Augustine



Red Venom



Patriots' Day


Fuchsia Sunrise


Pink Extraordinaire X S. Samantha #2 had its best edge so far.


Razor Sharp X SC Night Vision #1 has looked good every day this week, and its held on to the only pod I've set on it.


Natalie Antoinette X Symphony of Praise

    I'm glad your flowers are doing better. After constance watering and a cooler night, our look pretty good today too.


    I like the subtle color of Breathing in Snowflakes. I have heard a lot of good things about Isabelle Rose, but I haven't seen it in person. I also like Maney Augustine.


    All of your seedlings are very pretty, but I like the two darker colored ones the best. I hope those seeds on the second one make it to maturity. It should give you some pretty seedlings.

    Hope springs eternal I suppose!!! My hope for rain which I have not seen in two weeks is dwindling!! Breathing in Snowflakes is pretty-I have Breathing in Lilacs as a new plant in a pot but it will not bloom this year. Maney Augustine is always so pretty. The seedlings look good and I am usually partial to the pinks but those first two are really something!!

    I am glad your temps are down. we are supposed to be a bit less hot this next week and may have rain. Maney Augustine is really pretty. and, of course, I really like Red Venom. Patriots' Day is a lovely red, Pink Extraordinaire X S. Samantha #2 is really showy and Razor Sharp X SC Night Vision #1 is gorgeous. lovely delicate colored clump of Natalie Antoinette X Symphony of Praise too. Nice post, Debra.

    Fuschia Sunrise is favorite registered daylily, I like the unusual color combo. The seelings or all lovely, my eye stopped at Natalie Antoinette seedling, I like the soft color and the little more delicate edge.

    Glad to hear things are starting to improve. still hoping for rain this weekend.

    Thanks all for your comments. I was particularly happy with those two purple seedlings today.

    Sherry - Fuchsia Sunrise does have an unusual color combination that I also find pleasing.

    Kay - The temps are down from 100 to 95 - cooler, but certainly not cool.

    Nan, Kate and Kay - Maney Augustine is growing in a shadier part of the garden, and the blooms have pretty much kept their color. It always makes a showy clump.

    Nan - I'm so glad to read your flowers are looking better too!

    Sherry and Kay - Natalie Antoinette X Symphony of Praise does make a pretty clump. It did really well last year, with bud counts on some scapes from 17-21. This year, with that lack of rain, it only has 10-12 buds. I have two clumps of it now, and I do like the light pink color and its ruffling.

    Fushia Sunrise is really calling to me. Stopped at 1st garden and saw Breathing in Snowflakes. Wonderful in your pictures, and looks just as great in person!

    I too like the unusual color combo of Fuchsia Sunrise. I'm guessing you can see Patriot's Day a long way off. Such a nice bright red. The 2 purple seedlings are also very pretty.

    Nancy - Are you at the national or regional convention? I'm glad Breathing In Snowflakes looked good in person.


    Brad - You could see Patriot's Day a long way off - if it were taller. It's on very short scapes again this year. I think the grubs got to the roots.

    The regional in Lexington. I have wanted to see the gardens here for years. Visited Daylily World on our own yesterday. I thought we were dry here, but I think they are

    I'm always drawn to your Razor Sharp, so the seedling out of it is my favorite today. How blotchy is it for you? Looks clean to me.......................Maryl

  • 4 years ago

    Maryl - The Razor Sharp seedling has pretty clean blooms. If it rains overnight sometimes it can be splotchy.

    You will love Isabelle Rose at maturity. Breathing in Snowflakes looks enticing, but even with its being a dormant, I am looking for northern confirmation. Dick got it a few years ago, but I don't think he follows this forum anymore.
