Bitones and Bicolors 2022

3 years ago

Post your beautiful bitones and bicolors on this thread. A bitone has petals and sepals that are different tints of the same color. A bicolor has petals and sepals with completely different colors. This is the last of our color posts for this year. Thanks to everyone who shared their photos! Happy Holidays!


Fuchsia Sunrise is a bicolor with fuchsia petals and shrimp pink sepals.




Maney Augustine is a rose pink bitone.




I'm having trouble posting pictures tonight, so I'll post the rest of mine tomorrow.

    SOUTHERN COTTON: Scape to fan ratio is not very good here in Zone 5. Still a very pretty flower.


    PARTY PINAFORE: Love all the shades of pink in this one.


    CLOWN PARADE: Great performer in the garden. Increases well, tall scapes and well budded.


    GEORGE JETS ON



    That is all from me.

    David, I really like Southern Cotton, so striking. wish it was a better performer.



    Little Jetsetter is a small plant and small bloom. love it.


    Toward the Blue had an off year last season. I‘m guessing it would have benefitted with a bit of shade.


    When Strphanie Returns is my best performing ”returns” daylily I have grown.


    Magic Lake


    Final Touch is a favorite late bloomer.



    Magic Dancer…..I brought it back from the dead……got messed up with a patio redo. It is a tall later bloomer.

    I love the bicolors, bitones, and especially reverse bitones. All of these are nice, but I like Southern Cotton, Maney Augustine, Evening Eyeshadow are my favorites.

    Here are a few that we grow.

    Impassioned is one of my favorites. The plant is doing well here.



    Rosemary Mussar is another good one.



    Rosy Wren is a rather plain small flower but I love the color.



    Saber Tooth Tiger is a great grower here.



    Sihir is one of our best from Canada.



    Spacecoast Color Scheme is a small flower.



    Sonoran Desert Rose is slightly bitoned.



    I'll put the reverse bitones in the next group.

    We really like the reverse bitones (with sepals darker than the petals). Whereas bitones are pretty common, reverse bitones are rather rare.

    Kerffufle is a tiny little plant with a small flower, but it is probably the best example of a reverse bicolor I know of.


    Spacecoast Party Pinafore is slightly reverse bitone. It seems tender here--hasn't performed very well but has been here for years. It's a shame too as it is a cutie.


    Whoa Mule was new here last year. I can't wait to see it this upcoming season.


    Here are a few of our bitoned seedlings.


    We hope that Jena Sallenger X Patricia Ann's Calliopsis will be an intro.


    We like the look of Susan Ruoff X Fruitful Discovery.


    Wolverine X (Sea of Cinders X Happy Holidays to You is a good example of an orange bitone.


    That's all for me.

    I lost three posts last night. I hope these will go through.


    Trimmer Seedling "Laughing Hyena"


    Wizard's Wish


    Sweet Prairie Wind isn't registered as a bitone, but it looks like this every year when the temps heat up.


    Clown Parade has good plant habits, but it is coral red rather than rose in my climate and soil.



    Mississippi Magistrate


    Here are some seedlings in this category:


    Biltmore Style X Cool Hand Luke


    Destined to See X Back Scratcher seedling

    Debra, I like Wizard's Wish and your seedling Biltmore Style X Cool Hand Luke

    Brad

  • 3 years ago

    Lovely seedlings again! the Biltmore seedling is my favorite today

    Sherry

  • 3 years ago

    I do like the bitones and bicolors posted here. The ones that stood out the most to me were Labyrinth, Pony, Whoa Mule, Impassioned, Little Jetsetter, Southern Cotton and Evening Eyeshadow. Nan, your seedlings are nice with my favorite beging the orange bitone.


    Debra

  • 3 years ago

    Debra, I like your two seedlings, especially Biltmore Style X Cool Hand Luke. I also like the Trimmer seedling 'laughing Hyena' (We grow it to) and Mississippi Magistrate.

  • 3 years ago

    Don't think I grow any of the types here, but some sure catch my eye.....Sherry: Evening Eyeshadow looks great....Nan: Spacecoast Color Scheme is unusually attractive and your seedling Jenna Salinger has a similar color scheme which is also nice.......Brad: Your Woodside Amethyst has the best color for you. Always one of my favorites of yours.....David Party Pinafore has called to me over the years. Maybe one day.......Debra: Love the tight ruffles on Mississippi Magistrate and have to go along with everyone else on that Biltmore Style seedling. Do you still have the Hensley daylily Biltmore Style in your garden?...................Maryl

  • 3 years ago

    Maryl - Yes, I still have Biltmore Style growing in a pot, but I don't remember it blooming last season.

    Laughing Hyena is a great name. Does Rosemary Mussar open flat? I see so many pictures that seem as though it isn't fully open.

    I agree that Impassioned is very nice.



    Penguin's Prom is another that definitely fits this category.


  • 3 years ago

    i Like both of these, Mantis. Great form and color.

    Mantis - Your clump shot of Impassioned is gorgeous!
