One FFO aand more reblooms

3 years ago

Really an FFW since I bought it last fall but I have had it twice before and it is blooming late

Jazz After five:



Humungousaur First ever reboom:


Rocks Cry Out


Space Coast Devil's Eye


Heavenly Dragon fire


Wild Cherry Wine


Vanilla Gorilla


Whip City You've Got What it Takes


My Dahlia has started blooming


And the Banana Cream Daisies are pretty (oops, missed one)


Smooth Talker


For the first time since I had pneumonia, I have been able to work a half day in the garden. I fully enjoyed it, but my husband always worries that I will overdo and be unable to work like that again.. I transplanted, a couple of daylilies, did a lot of weeding, and I throughly enjoyed it.

    Aha, you get rebloom on WCW. Have never seen that here. Devil's Eye attracts, and the rain is appealing too. What about Jazz After Five has caused you to lose it?

    Mantis, WCW usually reblooms here, but it is unusual for it to rebloom this long after blooming. Devil's Eye is very pretty but not a large bloom, only about 4 inches. And I was very happy to get a rain as it had rained all around, but not here. And you enabled me with your lovely photo of Playing With Colors. I was able to get it and am quite pleased. And Jazz after Five sulked from being divided the first time and the second time, the placement was not good. Hopefully it will do well in the present situation.

    Sherry, this is the worst tiem in a lot of years I decided to grow Dahlia. Like Amaryllis I don't have to dig them up, and they rebloom "where they are planted. These are the big ones, but I think it is just 8 inches which is why to support.

    Jazz After Five is a pretty one. I grew it for about three years after you shared it with me years ago. You must really like it to try it a third time. Humungousaur and Wild Cherry Wine look so pretty on rebloom. They are my top favorites. I like Vanilla Gorilla, Whip City and Smooth Talker too! I'm glad you've recovered enough to spend more time working in the garden!


    Oh, I forgot to say how much I like the daisies and the dahlia.

    Humungousaur caught my eye today. How big does the flower get in your garden (registered at 14 inches)? That's a beautiful photo of Wild Cherry Wine! SC Devil's Eye's color appeals to me, but the plant didn't do so well for us and eventually left the garden. I love the daisies and dahlia.

    I like the soft colors on WC You've Got What It takes and SC Devil's Eye with the rain drops is sure looking good. I had Wild Cherry Wine for many many years. Last year it even rebloomed for me. Such a pretty color..................Maryl

    Debra, it is probably half really like and half a lot of stubborness on my part to grow JAF a third time. Nancy, Humungousaur goes from 12 inches to 14 inches here: usually form 13 to14 inches. e but it is a tall one and a big one. Maryl, WCW is a favorite and it often does rebloom in fact, most years it does but this has been a crazy year for rebloom anyway. I counted them and of the around 350 daylilies I grow, 126 have rebloomed or have rebloom scapes up right now. It has to be the climate because Kate is also having insane rebloom and ours are very near,

    My favorite is Wild Cherry Wine, such a delicate beauty. Also Vanilla Gorilla and Whip City You've Got What it Takes. Beautiful daisies and Dahlia. Glad you were able and enjoyed working in the yard.

    You are so right, Kay! It has been a wacky rebloom year. Some of mine are finishing their THIRD rebloom cycle and I would not be surprised by a fourth cycle before frost. It does make me wonder how this much rebloom will impact them next year.

    I do not have rebloom on WCW (yet!) but yours is pretty. Jazz After Five rewarded you with a pretty bloom. And your picture of SC Devil’s Eye is very striking. The daisies and dahlia are so pretty. Stay safe outside in this heat!

    Thank you, Nat4b. I haven't seen you in a while.


    Kate, Blueberry Breakfast has eleven scapes on her 4th cycle!. Crazy. I managed anoter four hours weeding and working in the garden today, but plant to take a day off tomorrow. I have my big garden fan and my portable umbrella and and spraying 70 sunblock without a shirt!!! for once which is working pretty well in the heat. Would you believe I found the first ever rebloom on Neon Flamingo today?
