A few more daylilies opened this weekened

The heat and humidity have arrived just as the season is starting here. My gardens haven't had any rain in two weeks, so I see some foliage starting to die on those daylilies that get all-day sun. Most of Indy got rain yesterday, but the far southern part where I live missed out on the moisture. There's a chance of rain every day this week, so I hope to get some on at least one of those days with isolated and spotty showers.

Browns Ferry Debutante - This is the second bloom and an evening photo. This one was planted in late fall, and scapes are short.


White Tooth X Skater #4 has some well-budded scapes. I have several scapes with at least 18 buds this time. Previously in Nashville the high bud count was 14, with most scapes showing 12. While many scapes look short this time, this seedling has nice tall scapes. The flower size is a bit smaller than the 6.5 inches in past years.



Here's another photo of Applique just because it was looking nice on Saturday, and the cloudy day made for a better photo. Scapes on this one are a mixed bag - half taller than registered, and half quite a bit shorter than registered.


Some cultivars really seem to be taking a hit from the harsh winter, while others have more buds than ever!
