First blooms and more

4 years ago
last modified: 4 years ago

Yippee, had 1 1/2” of rain yesterday! I also had some daylilies show off their first blooms this week.


Green Eyed Envy had first blooms ever this week. I moved it last fall and it likes the new spot.


Forsyth Flaming Snow with first blooms. It was added last season.


Peach Pizazz was on the possible to leave list. I moved it to a sunnier spot and it is really doing well.


Here Lies Butch had its leap year this season. Fans increased, and bud count is marvelous…..so happy it is doing so good.


Harold Thomas was new to the garden but took last season off. I am seeing large perfect blooms now.


Forest God was new last season, good fan increase and bud count.


Woman at the Well hasnt been bothered by the weird weather. The petals so far are orangey, I am used to seeing a pale yellow.

    What a nice set of blooms, Sherry! I especially like Woman at the Well, Harold Thomas, and Forsyth Flaming Snow. Glad you had rain, and I know it was very welcome to the flowers and to you.

    Looks as though your plants are off to a good season. Harold Thomas was new to me. I know nothing about Scott Bennett, the hybridizer. It appears that Here Lies Butch will be as hardy as Linda Beck. What other Agins do people grow?

    I love the look of Green Eyed Envy! Does it have a large bloom? Forest God is another one that appeals to me. Lucky you, getting that much rain! I'm looking forward to seeing more of your blooms!

    Debra, Green Eyed Envy has large blooms. It started this week, had three blooms so far, all were 6”. The first season here (last) it was in dense shade, didnt bloom. It gets later afternoon sun now.

    Green Eyed Envy is so pretty. Interestimg about Woman at the Well and the color.. Here Lies Butch has been languishing here in a bad spot. I need to move it.

    I'm glad you got a good rain. It makes all the difference. We got our rain today.


    I like the delicate coloring of Green Eyed Envy and also Woman at the Well.

    Good for you and the rain. It does wonders not only for the garden but for the gardeners as well.......Forest god is a beauty. Does it usually recurve for you?..........I'll be interested in seeing Harold Thomas in the future. I was not familiar with it......Peach Pizzazz has a pretty color combo. Glad it got a reprieve from you................Maryl

    Maryl, Forest God has been here a short time, all of the blooms I have seen look exactly like this one.

    Harold Thomas is my favorite of these. Forest God is pretty and Green Eyed Envy is too. It has a lot going on, so interesting.

    Green Eyed Envy is a soft color. Forest God has a nice roll back bloom.I like to see some blooms do that. So glad you are getting rain. This heat could be bearable if the humidity would lower.
