BLOOMS FROM SUNDAY

4 years ago

This will be my last post for a while, as I am digging plants for the sale/auction in MD. I am taking 35 plants and 28 are leaving the garden. I need to make room for seedlings that I am evaluating as well as a few acquisitions. I am hoping to add the following daylilies: BLOOD OF THE MARTYRS, NATURE'S CRYSTAL SEA, QUEEN OF THE SEVEN KINGDOMS, STRANGER THINGS and possibly YETI NIGHT. Who knows what else I might come home with from the bag sale portion of the activities. If anyone has any feedback regarding the above cultivars, I am all ears. I am glad that I did a lot of digging this weekend, as this coming week appears to be in the 90s with humidity.


Here is a FFE: TIGRILLO AFTERNOON. This picture was taken at 4 pm as I was digging early in the am and then had to go to church.



TOTAL SILENCE



YADA YADA YELLOW: Massive blooms. 9 inches



RUFFLED STRAWBERRY PARFAIT



WIDE-EYED WALLY




That is all from me,


David

    Digging for a sale is a lot of work, isn't it. We too are in the place where some have to go for us to add new ones.


    Tigrillo Afternoon is a beautiful color. This one is new to me. I also like Ruffled Strawberry Parfait, which is one of our most important work horses in our breeding.

    I like the color on Tigrillo Afternoon, new to me too. Hope the sale goes well! we have spent part of two weekends moving, dividing and eliminating daylilies here, hard work for sure,

    Looks like your church visit paid off. You were blessed with that pretty bloom of Tigrillo Afternoon. It's lovely. Any idea what your temperature was when you took that picture?..............Maryl

    It was 82 degrees and overcast at that point. The sun was out in full strength between 11 and 1.

    Tigrillo Afternoon and Ruffled Strawberry Parfait are both really pretty, my favorites. I got Yada Yada Yellow. I added it last year, it did not bloom til this year. The blooms were good, but short. The plant is not looking great. I expected much better from a plant that is technically 2nd year. But it has been a rough year. I also like Wide Eyed Willy, that flat open look always appeals to me.

    Nice, David. I particularly like Tigrillo Afternoon, Yada Yada, Yellow, and Ruffled Strawberry Parfait.

    Mantis,


    Thanks for posting a picture of TIGRILLO AFTERNOON from Crintonic Gardens.


    Here is what is leaving my garden:


    ANGEL UNAWARES

    CAROLINA BOUND: more foliage than blooms

    CORAL MAJORITY: Can't keep everything

    DUCK EYES: Muddy lavender color

    EGGPLANT ECSTASY: I've had it for years and not hybridizing with it.

    FAIREST LOVE

    FORBIDDEN DESIRES: A Petit that does well for me, but there are better gold edged purples

    GAVIN PETIT: Under performs. Did not even bloom this year

    HEAVENLY ANGEL ICE: Single digit bud count on all scapes year after year

    INDY ELECTRIFIED: I have other bicolors that I like more. Bloom is on the small side.

    LAST FLIGHT OUT

    LEONARD SAUTER

    LORD OF RINGS

    MILDRED MITCHELL

    MY SWEET ROSE

    NORTHPOLE: Has never reached its registered height

    OLD KING COLE: EVENING EYE SHADOW is an improved version.

    PURPLE DE ORO: Lot of foliage and few blooms.

    ROGER GROUNDS: I've had for years and time for a change

    SCREEN PATTERN: I would love to have a patterned throat that did not canoe. More foliage than blooms

    SULTRY SPANISH EYES: I love the bloom, but it does not reach its registered height and bud count is low

    TECHNY ORE: It is tall, well branched, a lot of buds, but I am not a fan of the more orange side of melon.

    VICTORIAN GARDEN OH HAPPY DAY: I have a seedling that is similar and taller. This one tends to bloom in the foliage.

    ZEBE: Bonus plant last year and I don't want to give up a spot in the garden for a plant that I am not going to hybridize with.

    RING THE BELLS OF HEAVEN: When it is great it is great. Tends to be splotchy. More so than RED FRIDAY.

    JANICE BROWN

    GENESEE ROSE

    STRAWBERRY CANDY


    The ones without comments I've had for a long time and it is time to modernize more of the garden and find spots for my select seedlings.


    I will have a report of how the sale/auction went early next week.

    Surprised to hear about Gavin Petit. It performs well here and is a distinctive color. Ring the Bells of Heaven has been quite clean here the last few years. God knows what accounts for different years.
