Blooming on Friday

The temperatures were a little cooler last night and the plants don't seem to be as stressed. Here is what's blooming today.


A Little Crabby was added last year and these are the first flowers we have seen. It is a small flowered diploid.


As you might imagine, Bob really likes Double Blazing Busby.


I didn't think I would like a greenish flower, but I really like Green Arrow.


Lincoln Andres is not the toothiest one around, but it's an excellent grower with a nice color.


Madeline Nettles Eyes is one of the tiniest tets that I know of.


Papa Goose is a nice big flower. I thought about crossing it with Absolute Ripper, but then remembered the ploidy difference.


Wispy Rays has been here for many years and is finally looking good.


Tramps Like Us took a long time getting established, but is doing fine now. I prefer my toothies with a stronger color.


Here is Primal Scream with Bill Norris in the back.

Seedlings will follow.

    Let's Dance X Sihir is a big flower.


    This seedling has been around for a while and we need to make a decision of whether it goes or stays. It is Interview with a Vampire X Crimson Stories. It's shorter than we like and doesn't have a great bud count, but it is in the worst soil in the garden. We need to move it and see how it performs.



    I know I posted these before but I just can't resist. It is Princess of Alexandria X Extreme Tangerine.


    I think I like this one. It is Rosie Cotton's Ribbons X Red Eyed Queen. It is much taller than Rosie.


    I like the color on Velvet Eyes X Santa's Little Helper.


    There were several siblings out of this group open today. The cross is Wolverine X (Sea of Cinders X Happy Holidays to You).


    That's enough for today.

    The clump with Bil;l Norris and Primal Scream is really pretty, Nancy. Wispy Rays was the same here....it took several years, but makes nice clumps now. V is quite green and I like it too. Princess of Alexandria X Extreme Tangerine is really pretty. and I like Wolverine X (Sea of Cinders X Happy Holidays to You and Velvet Eyes X Santa's Little Helper.

    The group shot with Primal Scream and Bill Norris is my favorite today. I love all those bright colors together! Papa Goose impresses with its size and color. Of the seedlings, I'm partial to the Interview With a Vamp kid. It's so pretty. I really think you should move it to a better spot to see if it improves.

    I grew both Santa's Little Helper and Velvet Eyes. I'm not much of a fan of most red daylilies, but the shade of red on SLH was rich and pretty sunfast too as I recall. I only wished it had had larger blooms. Velvet Eyes didn't perform as well in our heat. I like the looks of your seedling cross of both of those. How large are the blooms?...........I'm with Bob on the double orange Double Blazing Busby. Will have to look it up as I hadn't heard of it before............I've got to mention the pretty pink of Papa Goose. Wonderful picture of it..................Maryl

    Velvet Eyes X Santa's Little Helper is very pretty and indeed it is a great color.! I hope it is a winner for you. I also like Papa Goose, I see why you'd want to cross it!
