July 9th blooms from NY

3 years ago

Many pictures taken today. Everything seems to be blooming at once this year. The earlies are a little later and the laters are a little earlier. Not complaining, just enjoying the beauty of these plants.


TOPGUNS LAVENDER LACE: This is its second year in the garden. Hoping for more of the bicolor effect.



PEGGY JEFFCOAT: This is an outstanding double. I don't grow many doubles, but this one will always be in the garden. I always think of Lemon Mirange Pie when I see this in bloom. Just reminds me of the mirange on top of the pie.



While thinking about deserts here is CARIBBEAN WHIPPED CREAM


Here is SUGAR CREAM PIE



IT'S THE RAGE: Slowly settling in.



HEMAN



PINEAPPLE BITES: Looking good. Seems to be hitting its stride this year.

    JUST ANOTHER YELLOW: It was in a tough spot to photograph, so I wasn't able to dead head.



    SILOAM MELVIN'S YELLOW: A favorite yellow dip I grow.



    BELLE OF ASHWOOD: A very nice pink that is a consistent performer.



    ASHWOOD RINGS OF SATURN: The best it has ever looked in my garden.



    JACQUELINE KENNEDY ONASSIS: Gorgeous and almost always perfect.



    CLOWN PARADE: Another great plant.


    PICOTEE DREAM: An older John Benz intro. I was really into edges no eyes at one time.


    APRIL FOOLS: Have to have it since that is my birthday. It is more on the yellow side when compared to one of its parents, FOOLED ME which is more gold.


    ROSE F. KENNEDY: Taken years for it to get established. It is reaching its registered height. I think that it has been worth the wait.


    SEEDLING OUT OF EMERALD STARBURST: FFEO It is a large bloom (7.5"). Will have to see what subsequent blooms look like.

    INDY SHOCKER: Finally got a picture which actually captures the color.



    Vision Seeker: A reliable performer

    FEAR NOT: After three years, it is settling in. Best performance ever.




    Now onto to some Bud Bennett intros:


    THESE FOOLISH THINGS: I believe that this is the first time I have ever posted this one. Acquired it 2 years ago.



    FAT AND FOXY



    SHOWTIME MAGIC in a clump.



    One more to go,

    Jerry Hyatt: an outstanding performer.


    WIDOW'S WALK: This is a good plant. I need to hybridize with it.


    SAM ABELL: Wish it was a little taller.


    FRIEDA ALLEN JERRELL: Everyone knows that I love this daylily. It just has a cooling effect in the garden.


    NEON FLAMINGO: Great increaser, large blooms.



    Whew, that is all from me until next weekend.

    So many really frilly ones. Caribbean Whipped Cream always catches my eye, and Sugar Cream Pie causes me to blink again when I see that edge. Very nice color contrast......And then there are the yellows. Yellow is one of my favorite colors. There is no such thing as too many of them because finding one that will work well in my climate AND please me means I've gone through a lot of them along the way. I like all of yours.....Thanks for the mention on the color of Buddy's Black Lady. I like simple white edges on dark colors the best..........A wonderful post David. I hope there is more................Maryl

    David, your seedling looks promising. I always like Caribbean Whipped Cream. Nice photo of Neon Flamingo and RFK. Like Maryl, I like the yellows.

    Well, many of yours' performances match here; others, not so much Heman is great--tall and sturdy. Sam Abell could sometimes stand more height. Jerry Hyatt is having an off year. Caribbean quite consistent here--the earwigs did like it earlier before the extermination efforts. Fat and Foxy has interesting color. Not seeing the draw of Showtime, as your clump shows blooms not open flat. Fear not having a good year. Vision Seeker always good. JKO--always was short here. Rings of Saturn is dependable, though color not as good this year.
