Finally-a little rain

3 months ago
last modified: 3 months ago

Yesterday we had 10 straight days of forecasted rain at 70% or higher each day. We had some rain during the night with more on the way today but the forecast has dwindled considerably for the rest of the week. Not whining (well, maybe a little!!) but thankful for the drops we got.

A few standouts in the garden

Lillian’s Vapor Trail looks like this every day


Supergirl-you can see some of the stressed foliage


Rose Pink Sparkle-a Reimer-wish it was taller


Garry Bewyck will usually give several almost perfect blooms


Ruby Starburst is new to the garden


Harper Lynn-I think. Limbs from ice storm era fell into this bed and the helper dragging them out caught several markers along with the limbs


Larry’s Candy Stripe Swizzle is also new


The very ugly Like a Gee Six


Aerial Markings has some of that stressed foliage-few buds this year


I have always had this labeled as Mount Herman Autumn-not sure it is but it gives great huge blooms. These are marred by rose petals dropped by the wind and rain


Keep On Looking


First decent bloom on Absolute Ripper


Ghost Gifts came from Debra


Nicholas Brunetti has a delicate look


Another noid-this one is so pretty


Coach’s Magic Man-first bloom


Be Fancy-ffo


Lily Farm Berrylicious finally opened fully (almost!) I do like everything going on in this bloom look

    I wish it would fall here. It is forecast for the next few days but not a big one, so we shall see. Beauties. Lillian's Vapor Trail is a real bloom machine, isn't it? Day after day. Wish a few others would catch that.


    Absolute Ripper is a favorite.. That is a beautiful bloom, but it isn't Woman at The Well; I love that lovely NOID after Nicholas Brunetti. which is indeed delicate looking onewhich I really like.


    I really like the colors and shape and ll of your Mount Herman Autumn. Larry’s Candy Stripe Swizzle as my kind of color and shape; great new one. Tis is a lovwely post, Kate.

    Kay, that is a ”new” noid!! Within the past 6 or 7 years. I think it was a bonus plant. I had a label on it but a good intentioned person raked that bed and dumped the pile in the garbage, labels and all!! This is why I try to keep unauthorized people out of my flowers!!! lol

    Ruby Starburst really caught my eye today, love that big green throat. I hope it does well for you. I also love Nicholas Brunetti….. I like the subtle beauties like this. Lillian is a real show off for you, how long does it bloom?

    Openings look great Kate. The orange NOID looks good. I got some Reimers last fall so looking forward to see how they will do here. I do like your pic of Rose Pink Sparkle. Have you had it long? Maybe it will get taller.

    The foliage here was looking so great until we got into the 90's and the leaves look scorched. Thunderstorm came through this afternoon and now we are predicted to have all day rain for several days. I'll believe it when I see it.

    Julia, I have had Rose Pink Sparkle for several years. It has never been much taller than this. I hope your Reimers do well. I do like the large flat blooms on them.

    Mount Herman Autumn seems to match the ADS photo, as well as the early midseason period. A generous group of pics for us. Coach's Magic Man is one I think you have admired in the past. It is 5 inches, I see. Garry Bewcyk here has a lot of flowers that are less than perfect, but it can be very striking. I assume that Like a Gee Six will be giving its space to something else.

    Yes, Mantis, Coach’s Magic Man performs well and throws almost perfect blooms so I like that trait. I have shared G-6 with several people including Celeste. Her blooms on it are really pretty. It seems the more I dig in it the faster it multiplies! I have the space so I will keep it until someone comes by and wants all of it!

    All are so pretty, but Lillian's Vapor Trail is a standout. Coach's Magic Man is such a rich deep color! I love it! I also love Garry Bewyck.

    Ghost Gifts looks so pretty in your garden! Be Fancy looks perfect. Is that one new for you? Great shot of Absolute Ripper. Mine didn't scape last year. I hope it will bloom this season.

    Debra, Be Fancy was here last year but just gave first year blooms which were not fancy. I think it is a pretty ruffled bloom.

    While they are all pretty, my eyes were riveted on Mount Herman Autumn. The color is right in my zone. I do like John Carpenters daylilies as a whole, although back then scapes weren't required to reach for the stars. Rose Pink Sparkle is another one I really like even if it's short. ...........Maryl
