David

I took some early morning photos on this 4th of July.

FFO on CHERRY PEACOCK is so tall I climbed up and sat on top of our stone wall to photograph it.



In contrast, my sad little clump with its one short scape on MISTER MAYOR is going to get a talking to since it is way under-performing.


NEON FLAMINGO is being crowded by a clump of crocosmia so I will have to get around to doing something about that.



and SEA OF GLASS is really lovely this year

Wow! Thumbs all around.

I got lucky this morning and had early overcast skies which let me capture these;



BEAUTIFUL EDGINGS
Copenhaver 1989
Zone 4a
30 inches
AM 2002

This is a perfect puffed pastry of a bloom. There is no excuse for not having it in your garden. It reminds me of some of the ballerinas I worked with long ago. Can you tell I like it?



EMERALD TOUCANET
Lambertson 2013
Zone 4a
42 inches


FLYING TRAPEZE
Moldovan 2005
Zone 3
36 inches

I never get the eye zone and the blooms are very consistent for me.



VERTICAL HORIZON
Moldovan 2005
Zone 3
36 inches

Very three dimensional bloom which reminds me of some three year olds I worked with long ago.


FERN STONE
Kirchhoff 2007
Zone 4a
38 inches


BUDDY'S BLONDY
Hall 2010
Zone 3
28 inches



SPATTER WARE
Lawrence 2015
Zone 4a
28 inches

Take a close look at the pattern on the petals. This is little known and should be more widely grown .


VICTORIAN GARDEN STAR BRIGHT
Brooker 2007
Zone 4a
34 inches

The thrip have usually had this for breakfast, lunch, and supper by the time it opens. Somehow this year they are fewer and further between.



VIRTUE OF SELFISHNESS
Hanson 2002
Zone 4a
28 inches

I was educated about the source of this name last year. Thank you and I forgive the bloom.


LOLA BRANHAM
Burkey 1991
Zone 3
38 inches

I missed the form on this, later in the day it developed some nice cascading.



WEBSTER'S PINK WONDER
Webster-Cobb 2003
Zone 4a
34 inches
Stout 2014

Interesting sport on one petal-

Not bad camera craft today if I do say so myself.

Today was my first "Wow look at all of those blooms!" day. Clumps and clumps with three to seven blooms, just short of glorious. Last July fourth we had WIGGLY PIGGLY and OMOMUKI and that was it. I guess I need to start shopping for my Thanksgiving turkey now.

Charley

Some in my garden.....



Early Snow
Bach Cantata with extra parts


Lost tag. Anyone have a guess?.....a keeper anyway




Several more lovely's opened later in the day when the sun was to bright for good pictures,

Hope everyone is having a nice 4th sans fireworks here, not sure if all states banned because of Covid.
Beautiful blooms everyone
Sorry I don't remember how to tag someone (I am going to have to write these things down. )
Bloominholes2fill How about Alpha Omega or Soli deo Gloria for your counselor I don't have but they are on my wish list.
Kousa or anyone who can help. How do I save your info on what to do about plant coming from the south? Good info but I won"t remember when I need it.
Mike your Bella Lugosi seems to have a white throat or watermark that mine doesn't have. Was it just the camera angle? Sure is pretty wish mine had that.

More beautiful blooms -- gorgeous!

I'm getting to the end of my bloom season, but I do have three new ones from the last couple of days:

WATERMELON SUMMER - FFE - Just received this bareroot plant at the end of April from Paul Lewis through the Lily Auction - love it!


THE UNDEFINABLE KID - FFE - Received the same day from Paul -- and they both bloomed for the first time on the same day!


THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE - Received from Yenok-daylilies in May, and this is the second flower to bloom.


Happy 4th everyone! And remember...

Those who go forth with a fifth on the fourth may not live to go forth on the fifth... (couldn't resist... )
