CAT DANCER



AUTUMN WOOD



JELLYFISH JEALOUSY

Wow Jillz, they are gorgeous!

This is Crowning Light, new last year but didn't bloom. It's a very sweet, softer pink than my camera (phone) records.


And this is Cherry Swizzler. Love this flower!

Those are beauties, Jill and Mary!

A Walmart Plant that I liked

My first wave of blooms is finished, but this morning I found rebloom scapes on 24 of 80 daylilies. More will come and, while not as beautiful and lush as May, it will be beautiful! High temperatures have stopped rust and the plants have totally recovered!

There are so many lovely daylily blooms here that I can't even keep up with comments! I love the spiders, the full faced blooms, the ruffled beauties, the eye patterns, so many to drool over .... And the photography sure is excellent as well!

Can you imagine having fields of daylily cultivars? Wouldn't that be heaven to walk down row after row after row to see all these beauties in person. That would surely be heaven on earth!

Here we are starting July today! I can't believe that June is already over. I still have scapes coming up! Which is unusual for me. I have had a lot of rain over the past 2 months, so that may be why. Water, water, water with some fertilizer seems to be the answer here.

Here are some of my cultivars currently blooming this week (June 25 - July 1):

I don't know what extended bloom means. Does it mean that the plant takes it's time producing blooms? Like slow motion production over weeks? If so, that is Fol de Rol. It mostly produces a single bloom every other day. Even though the blooms are long spidery petals, they always seem to open and display the pattern in such a lovely way. My only complaint about this cultivar is the scapes are thin and can lean (sometimes too much)! It is also hard to set pods on it, but I have used the pollen with success.:

Fol de Rol:


Lavender Stardust:


Frans Hals (newest addition to my garden in May of this year):


And one of my favorite small bloom daylilies that is currently reblooming with 1 scape and 3 more scapes on the way! This is a wonderful, rust-free cultivar with 3-way branching and lots of blooms! I've used it a lot this year for hybridizing.
Little Rosy Cloud:

July first, not much action;

Light at work;


TIM KORNDER FFO
before the sun hits it


TIM KORNDER FFO
same bloom after sun (maybe 30 minutes later. Does the sun activate some pigments later than others? Do some pigments take longer to express themselves? )


BEAUTIFUL EDGINGS FFO
A favorite of many, often shows very little pigment on the edges. Apparently not this year, is it water stress?


WAYAH VALLEY
without the bad shellfish


Salvia

Well none of these are repeats...meaning I have not shown any of these before in the month of July.
'South Seas' a rare double in my garden.

'Masked Phantom':

'Gossip Girl':

'Chesapeake Bay': A beautiful bloom this morning.

'All Fired Up': A single large bloom on it this morning.

'Suburban Nancy Gayle' : I was going to try to mention the rebloomers but forgot to separate them, but this is one of them. I can't seem to keep up with them now.

'Helen Elsie': I don't know what is so attractive to me about this plant, it was a bonus plant and I love it.

'Filled With Joy': Another bonus plant and another favorite.

'Red Ribbons': Looking very tall and bright this morning.

'Blushing Octopus':

'Carnival In Mexico': Love the colors

'Nosferatu': A nice purple

'Panic In Detroit': Still blooming. This is by far the best year for this plant in my garden. I was afraid of losing it for a while but it has bounced back strong. Still can not set a pod on it.

'Whooperee': One of my favorite early morning blooms.

'Inner Destiny': This was so pretty this morning.

'Mary's Gold': Seems to just be getting started.

'Lady Neva': Always an attention getter and always looks good in a photo.

'Mister Lucky': I don't ever remember it being as tall as it is this year.

'Carlotta' :A true performer, but I set so many pods on it last year, it has not been nearly as prolific with the blooms this year.

'Soothsayer': I think this is one of the best blooms of the year on this plant.

'Heavenly Island Magic': Another rebloomer that I almost missed this morning.

Lots of great blooms everyone.

Jill, Josie, Pat, and Charley - Wow! Some stunners and lots of eye candy!

Teresa - Very pretty each of them!

Larry - Nice collection! Loving all the different blooms.

Mike - Beautiful! All of them. That blooming clump shot is fabulous! I just have to ask ... how old is that clump? Growing clumps like that is my goal, so wondering how long it might take me to get something so wonderful..

OMG, look at that Free Wheelin! And Grape Slush - they don't even look real! Gorgeous blooms, Mike.

Stan, those peppers look hot. They sure would go good with the red beans and smoked hocks I made yesterday!

Larry, that Blushing Octopus! Sweet! And Lady Neva! All of them, really beautiful and special.
