Catching up today

2 years ago

I was so busy I didn't get to post yesterday. Last night the temperature was down in the upper 40's so most of the flowers looked awful today. Here are a few photos I took, mostly yesterday.

A Small Multitude is aptly named. I wish this form existed in colors other than yellow.

Here is Arrowhead Falls without the arrowheads.

Bill Norris is a favorite yellow.

I love the flower of Dr Jules Michael Vinkman but it does seem tender here, odd for a plant hybridized in Ohio.

Finally, a patterned daylily showing a pattern. This is Generous Spirit. It's a good grower too.

I don't love the color of Gopher Teeth.

This one's tag is missing, but I believe it to be Idiot Savant.

Dan Hanson does produce some beautiful edge/no eye daylilies. This is Indiana Melissa. I have had three people want to buy this from me, but I doubt it will grow well enoough to divide.

I don't love the rusty overlay of Ruckus, but it's got some nice teeth.

A few more in the comments . . .

I don't love the color of Spacecoast Nails and Lipstick. It's performing well, but I think the color is harsh and the flower almost has too much substance.

Rose F. Kennedy looked good today.

Pardon my shadow in the photo of The Colorado Kid.

Troll Under the Bridge is a big flower.

This seedling is Randy Stephens X Bass Gibson.

This seedling is Wolverine X Kennesaw Crossfire.

That's all for me.

Bill Norris is such a bright color. You are right-Rose F. Kennedy did give you a good face today! What a clump of A Small Multitude! Indiana Melissa is striking.

I've always like Bill Norris when members have posted pics of it. Bright spot in any garden. What is your thoughts on it? Good increaser/budcount?

Do you grow the tet version of RFK or the dip?

I'm not sure but I think it is you that mantis mentioned grows King Crab. How would you rate it?

Appreciate any feedback.

Julia, I don't really ever count buds, but Bill Norris is a great performer in our garden. It has made a huge clump and produced lots of scapes.

We grew the tet version of Rose F. Kennedy but it was a terrible grower for us and we lost both of the ones we had. We haven't had the dip version long enough to know how it will perform.

King Crab is rather new to the garden but so far we have no complaints. We bought it from a grower here in central Indiana and it was doing fine there.

I'm always a weirdo, I do like Gopher Teeth and really like Indiana Melissa.

I had Bill Norris once and lost it before I learned I need to pot mine and let them grow roots before I plants. I haven't lost one sice I started doing that. I always did like it.

Randy Stephens X Bass Gibson is a pretty seedling.

Bill Norris is a classic that's hard to beat. I'll be taking mine with me to my new home. In Nashville, it increased well and nearly always rebloomed. I'm surprised Dr. Jules is tender for you. I love the pattern on Generous Spirit! What a nice gold edge on your Randy Stephers seedling!
