Blue Beetle

Journey of Magic

My blooms had raindrops on them this morning too! Seeing your pretty picture of Shores of Time reminds me of why I wanted to put it in my suitcase. Bluegrass Shadows is looking good for you this season. I seem to remember you didn't have any good blooms on it last year. I do love Bluegrass Shadows and will be taking that one too. Blue Beetle's eye looks very blue indeed. How does that one perform for you? August Wedding is a lovely near white, and I like the looks of Journey of Magic.

Debra, Bluegrass Shadows has great foliage, multiplied well and only put up one scape again this year. I may move it (I wonder how many I have actually moved over the years when I have said that!). Blue Beetle is another that has not multiplied well. I think Sherry had it and maybe got rid of it? It has never doubled as some pictures show.

And yes, I would give Shores of Time a ticket as well.

Kate - There was a thread on NGA last year about how slow Bluegrass Shadows multiplies for some people, both in the North and in North Florida. Mine is at five fans, but it hasn't multiplied in the last two drought years. Last year it scaped on every fan. This year, in even more shade as the neighbor's trees grow ever taller, it has only scaped on two of the five fans. Mine does always rebloom though. I think it would be worth it for you to move Bluegrass Shadows.

Debra

Very nice group of blooms. Shores of Time is my favorite.

Brad

Debra, it is such a pretty bloom that I think I will move it. The plant, although multiplying, is in partial shade. I need more scapes on it.

So many pretty blooms! I like Bluegrass Shadows and Vanishing Mist. we had do much rain early in the spring, has been dry here for about two weeks….the rain keeps going around the area.

Kate you are right, I removed Blue Beetle 2? seasons ago, such a poor performer here. It never doubled here.

Sherry

All lovely pics. Shores of Time is a pretty pink. August Wedding is a perfect near white bloom. I would imagine in warmer climates it would show as a pure white. Korth daylilies did very good for me in NY and so far in WV.

Sherry, I thought Blue Beetle left your garden. If I had limited space I would probably send it away, too. I am not sure I have ever had more than one scape.

Julia, August Wedding is indeed almost white. It is a great performer here.

Good to hear your reports on August Wedding. We too need rain, but it is in the forecast for tomorrow. We continue to be ahead of normal.

Of course Buttercream gets a thumbs up. There is also a HT rose named Buttercream that is very popular. I can see them growing together. Who wouldn't like "double" Buttercream (Ooh! I gained weight just thinking about it)..........I've always liked Shores of Time. It died on me twice. I liked it so much I tried it a 3rd time. That year it finally caught on and was blooming to beat the band. Unfortunately for it this was the year I got rust. It was covered with it, so it had to go. It was such a pretty pink.......I also like Vanishing Mist. I'll have to look that one up..........Maryl

I like all of them. Humongosaur looks really good. I don't particularly like the name, but Blue Beetle looks good too.

kay Send some rain my way...I will be watering later.
