Ffo blooms on July 4

7 days ago

Had cloud cover a good part of the day today, got a few good photos. generally speaking the bud counts are low, guessing because of lack of rain. The dayliles living in a some shade are doing much better.

Ffo on Tiger Swirl, is doing well in some shade.

First blooms on El Desperado. it got moved to a sunnier spot two seasons ago and is doing better. Tree shade made one of my beds ideal for hosta. This daylily and a few more got moved to spots where poor performers were located.

First for Ethel Smith, my favorite Siloam daylily.

Stone Palace Divine clump, couldn’t fit all the blooms in the photo. It is doing great…..in an ideal spot for this seasons weather.

Coat to Coast finally put up a good bloom.

Divine Design is having sad season.

I hope Divine Design gives a big show next season-it looks like it could be impressive. Stone Palace Divine is so pretty in that clump!

Glad to know El Desperado is doing better for you. Mine limped along for several years in part shade, and when I moved it to where it got 8 hours of sun, it exploded with buds for many years. Stone Palace Divine is looking good!

Just what areas of the Midwest didn't get rain? I thought that Iowa had gotten a lot. Indiana has gotten rain, but not Illinois?

I am 40 miles west of chicago. We are in moderate drought. Check out the drought maps, they tell the story. Experiencing really bad bud drop now. The forecast is for rain this afternoon, we shall see.
