Photos captured between showers

It did rain this morning but not enough to do anything but raise the humidity. Bob and I dug some seedlings to throw on the compost pile and he said the ground was totally dry. Between showers it was a good day for photographing because it was mostly overcast.


Bob loves Oscie Whatley's daylilies such as Deliberate Pace.


Evermore Greatful is our daughter's daylily. It's a large flower, but I wish the red were more saturated.


Fearfully and Wonderfully Made has rather unique flowers, but it hasn't been a great grower for us.


Glowing Quasar finally made an appearance.


Heavenly United We Stand has started blooming. I think I can see why this one won the Stout Medal.


Hey Soul Sister was showing her dark face today.


Horns and Thorns is a Lambertson that has done reasonably well here.


Horsing Around is finally making a comeback. It was in the section of the garden where a pine tree smashed the daylilies.


This is the seedling known as Kaskel's best edge. It has been used a lot in hybridizing, but we haven't gotten anything out of it.


Krakatoa Katie is not as double as she sometimes is.


More to come . . .

    Lavender Tallstacks was looking pretty good today.


    New Tangerine has just started blooming for the season.


    Pineapple Bites


    Riding on a Chainsaw


    Second Horizon


    Sword Dancer is a healthy horse of a plant, but it's on the list to leave the garden.


    I have probably posted this one before, but The Bride of Dracula is one of our favorites.


    Ultimate Design is potted and is doing quite well. It has two pods on it too.


    Seedlings in the next comment.

    Here are a few seedlings from today.


    Belle of Ashwood X Gypsy Rose


    These 1st year orange ones are making Bob happy. They are Bob Marley X Noid, which some on this forum have indicated might be Opera Elegance. These are so bright they call to you from across the garden.


    Chomp X Happy Holidays to You


    New Tangerine Twist X Susan Ruoff


    This one is a small, maybe even miniature tetraploid--Everything Nice and Neat X Daddy's Heart.



    That's all

    I am happy with Hey Soul Sister and glad that you called it to our attention. Have only seen the non-solid version so far. Last year, Evermore Greatful was very impressive; will see what this year's weather produces. It does sometimes have the askew petal inherited from Worth It All. And the red seems especially unsaturated this year. Others also seem to like The Bride of Dracula, as I don't see it for sale anywhere. As usual, promising seedlings.

    Second Horizon is really pretty and I like New Tangerine. Glowing Quasar does seem to glow. The seedlings all look good but that Bob Marley seedling is a stunner!

    They are all so beautiful!! Evermore Grateful, Horns and Thorns, Bride of Dracula and Ultimate Design. Also loving the seedilings.

    All look very good with the raindrops which tells me a lot about how well they hold up. Nice group.

    I really like that edge of Kaskel's Best Edge. Hope it passes that on to something you do........Isn't that New Tangerine TWIST? I loved the early color on mine. Color didn't hold up as well as I had hoped as the day wore on but it would have been unusual if it had...............I think the double form on Krakatoa Katie in your pictures is still very good. I didn't realize the base color was so gold. I was hoping for more yellow........I like your small flowered Everything Nice And Neat x seedling. Good round form with a nicely colored edge...............Maryl

    You must have a lot blooming now. Glowing Quasar looks so pretty glowing in your photo, and the colors on Horns and Thorns are so pleasing. Bride of Dracula also stands out to me. Being a pink lover, my favorite of the seedlings is the Belle of Ashwood kid. I like the shade of pink with the gold edge.

    Horns and Thorns is my favorite of the named ones. My favorite seedling is Bob Marley X Noid. It is indeed bright!

    Maryl, you are right--it is New Tangerine Twist.

  • 4 years ago

    Glowing Quasar does seem to glow and Bride of Dracula looks good.. Horsing Around looks good as does Soul Sister, but looking at the Bob Marley seedling and the Chonmps X Happy Holidays to you, is where I am really happy with what I see, Wow! On the Marley seedl;ling. Just Wow!
