Some New Ones and Some Clumps

last year

last modified: last year

I have a couple of new ones with their first blooms ever today.

Samantha Belle is an Ed Davidson pink that I bought last year. I love Ed's pinks, and now I have three.

Conspiracy Theory is a Judy Davisson plant that I got two falls ago. My mowers mowed it down twice last year, so it never bloomed. I finally took in out of the ground and potted it, so they wouldn't whack it down again.

Royal Seal - This one took my breath away today when I saw the two blooms of it. It looked just like Dan Hansen's photo that caused me to buy it. The purple color is much darker in real life than it is in this photo. In past years, the blooms have suffered from thrips, but the two blooms today were totally clean. The plant has not fared well here in grub country, going from three fans to two several times. It's only two small fans now with short scapes, but ohhhh those flowers!

Canary Flush seems to have much larger blooms than last year.

Blood of the Martyrs ffo - This one is darker in real life with more purple tones.

Twentieth Century Fox - These first blooms are 7.5 inches and remind me of a dinnerplate. The best scape has at least 26 buds this time!

I can see why Royal Seal appeals to you. It is so pretty. Same with Samantha Belle-those pinks!! Love the big flat yellow on Canary Flush and huge blooms of Twentieth Century Fox must be a beauty to behold!

Twentieth Century Fox is a beauty and looks like great performer, guessing it is moving with you. Love the color of Roman Cohort. Canary Glush is a gorgeous yellow, nice ruffled edge.

You have some attention getters in this post. Roman Cohort stands out as well as Canary Flush. Ooh, the ruffled rounded form is right up my alley. I'll have to look that one up........Royal Seal is gorgeous. It's a shame how the dark colored ones can be so marred by Thrips. That's when you hope for a high bud count so you can still have a few that come out clean for the camera ............Maryl

Maryl, Sherry and Kate - Canary Flush is a large, ruffled, and bright evergreen. The scapes are still not at tall as they should be, but taller than last year. Roman Cohort's height and color do make it stand out in the garden. Twentieth Century Fox is just doing everything right this year. I think this is the third season it's bloomed here.

It will be interesting to see how the Davidson semi-evergreen plants perform in the north. I assume that So Irresistible is staying. Have the new owners said anything about the garden(s)?

Mantis - So Irresistible is going with me. Buyer is a rehabber who intends to resale - wants to clear out as many daylilies as possible. Place will be easier for him to sell with an easy-to-maintain yard.

The Ed Davidson daylilies all have older Salters in the background, so we'll see how they do.
