Next in the line up

Just now seeing a little slow down in blooms. This has been a good year for blooms though, and especially rebloom scapes. I'm assuming the cooler weather that comes with all of our rain events. We got more rain in June then we did in April (which was considerable). Even July has had rain already. I tore my other knee up, so not having to water all my pots every day is a blessing.


Here's a new one this year. Bloomed very well and now has at least 2 rebloom scapes coming up.

Crazy Awesome:


A golden yellow that has become a staple. A vendor said I just had to have it after I told her about my pot system over winter. She was right as it's been bone hardy for years now.

Avon Sunrise:


This for some reason had an off year. Not as many blooms as usual for one. Still nicely orange

Muy Caliente:


I like a few doubles but never thought I'd get an off white one until I saw a picture of it in clump form on the NGA by a daylily acquaintance of mine. I received a small fan this spring that is still in a 6 inch pot, but even though it's small it still managed to pump out a scape with multiple blooms. Charming with a sweet face. It's actually a base color of pale yellow at first, so none of that old parchment base color I don't like. Fingers crossed on vigor etc. for next year:

Jean Swann:


One of my favorites. Lots of blooms on taller scapes. It just finished up yesterday.

Heaven's Throne:


I had to show this again. This has been blooming here since late May and almost always in multiples. I'd think it can't produce any more blooms when up comes another rebloom scape. Here it was on the holiday July 4th. Another triple hit:

Itty Bitty Kitty:



One I held over to test further from last year. It was very pretty under 90. A keeper. But when it went over 95 this is what it looked like. Another good one for the north.

Pleasant View Sunset:


Finally my last on this post is one of my few clump shots. Not much room for a clump in a small container, but I do have this. Don't scoff. It has been performing her for around 35 years now.

    I do like the looks of Heaven's Throne! You should put that photo in the NGA database. I looked it up there after seeing your photo, and none of the other pictures are as pretty as yours. It sounds like Itty Bitty Kitty was a real winner for you this year. What is the foliage plant to the left of it?

    Heaven’s Throne is so pretty! What a bloomer Itty Bitty Kitty is. Don’t you love those? Crazy Awesome is a nice looking bloom. Your pot system always amazes me.

    Pandora’s Box was one of the first named plants I bought. Still have it.

    Is this knee injury recent?

    Dealing with the garden (watering, tiptoeing while taking pics) can be hard on the knees. Jean Swann is very vigorous here and more fully double than your pic, though paler to a near white. Crazy Awesome has a rather awkwardly tall scape here. The color is striking. I am surprised, though, that you would choose it for a pot.

    I hope that knee improves quickly. Itty Bitty Kitty aught my eye today, such a good performer. I love that clump of Pandora’s Box. I lost mine years ago to abundant tree shade. I miss mine, it always did well here till the shade got it. It may end up in the garden again.

    I am so sorry about the knee. I have been nursing one along all year and finally my doctor put in a consult with orthopedic Doctor.


    I, of course, Like Itty Bitty Kitty, a cat name and a good color combo, what's not to like? Heaven's Throne is a very pretty one, nice color.


    I do love Muy Caliente and it is still blooming here but will be finishing soon.. I did rebloom.

    Avon Sunrise is a nice clear color, I like it.
