More Catch Up Photos

last modified: 2 years ago

Some of these are from the past three days, and some are from a couple of weeks ago.

August Cherry seems to have lost fans over the past two drought years.


I sold some of Carmen Renee two Springs ago, and it hasn't multiplied much since then.


Kentucky Lucky hitting its peak with 13 blooms.


So Irresistible had a very good year!


Biltmore Style X Cool Hand Luke


Chicago Girls


Dolly Lama showed some nice lateral branching this year. The previoius two years it did not have this sort of edge. This bloom was from last week when temps were in the high 90s. Color was deeper before those scorching temps.


Victorian Garden Emerald Breeze has performed well this year with scapes bearing 16-17 buds each. Deer took a bite or two of this one, but the Bounce strips saved most of the buds.


There's A Place


Ruth Watkins Davidson had lighter pink petal color during the days in the high 90s, but it was still very pretty.


Confessions of a Hemaholic X Entwined in the Vine #4 is a late bloomer. In fact, it bloomed about a week later than the time it first bloomed last year. Most of my actual registered lates started a at least a week earlier than normal. This seedling keeps good color when the heat index is up in the 100s. The more mature fan has a scape with four-way-branching this time. I just wish it were a UF.

    Here are a few more:


    Tall Blonde was really tall this time.


    Landon Lee had not bloomed in two years. It's in a lot of shade now, but it managed to have four scapes this year.


    Divas in Diamonds had slightly shorter scapes and fewer buds than last year. Like everything else I watered last season, it was hit by grubs.


    Miss Demeanor


    Mister Mayor



    I sold most of No Boys Allowed this Spring. What is left did not perform well in its fertilized pot. It onlly had four or five buds per scape. But the blooms were so pretty!

    Love the Biltmore Style seedling, what a lovely bitone and great color! I like Tall Blonde too, There I go getting attracted to those simple beauties again.

    Confessions X Entwined seedling is simple but has alot going for it. Those late bloomers are valued here, nice color.

    I like There's a Place for the beautiful color. Biltmore Style X Cool Hand Luke really appeals to me being red and bi-coolor. Lovely grouping of Mister Mayor. Confessions of a Hemaholic X Entwined in the Vine #4 i Nice post Debra. Dearest Valentine re-bloomed today, by the way.

    Some really pretty ones here. Kentucky Lucky always looks good. The Biltmore Style seedling is really pretty. August Cherry lives up to its name. I always like Carmen Renee and Ruth Watkins Davidson is, well, it’s a pink you know!!

    Sherry, Kay and Kate - Thanks for the comments about the Biltmore seedling. I do like it - just wish it had more buds.


    Kay - So glad to see Dearest Valentine is reblooming for you! It's reblooming here now, and it rebloomed for Kate too. There's A Place does have beautiful colors, and I love the bluish eye.


    Kate - Kentucky Lucky puts on a good show here every year. It's actually bloomed late the last few years. The first couple of years I had it, it bloom EM. It's one of my bud kings this year.

    Which Davissons are not being taken? So Irresistible is a beautiful bloom photo. A DeVito. Make sure that your new place does not have too much shade. However, I must admit that I enjoy the fact that the early morning garden in the back is mainly shaded. Imagine if one had to look at daylilies only in full sun on these hot days.

    I like Garden Emerald Breezer. Great form, nice ruffles, good color. What's not to like?....Kentucky Lucky looks good at full strength, and Tall Blonde is another yellow that catches my eye.......August Cherry has been on my long list for awhile now. A few years back I almost thought I had the rare combination of room for it and a rust free source. Didn't happen. Now back to no room........Maryl

    Maryl - The name of the yellow you like is actually Victorian Garden Emerald Breeze. I don't know where the Victorian part went, or how Breeze became Breezer. It's one that keeps its color on the hottest days. Are you sure you don't want August Cherry? It's dormant, and I'm not taking it with me.

    Mantis - Pretty much all the Davissons are going with me, except We Are the Champions, which I sold off in the Spring, and possibly No Boys Allowed. Most of them are good performers, and they have such good resale value.
