Every year Get Jiggy seems to get a better pattern on it.

I forgot earlier to post this photo of Buffalo Thunder. It is blooming on a proliferation scape that has 7 buds.



Here is a view of the prolif taken a few days ago. I have made a little "pot" using aluminum foil and put potting soil in it to try to get a good root system.

That is beautiful Ann!
I have a question though. I'm still a newbie. Why did you not cut the prolif off long ago & pot it up by itself? I thought that was the way to do it. I just had a prolif on a NOID that I like & cut it off, stuck it in water & when the roots were long enough I potted it up. I have done this many times with prolifs. Am I doing things wrong?

Gorgeous one Ann. That second photo certainly shows all the ruffles.
Only a few of my new ones have bloomed so far. This year is later than
usual for most.

flaflwgrl: there are many ways to root prolifs. Whatever works is good. I take mine off once the scape starts turning "brown" and put in water to get the roots growing better. Works perfectly. Haven't lost a prolif yet. So just do what you do if it's working!

Great flowers everybody!

Has anyone bloomed a full grown prolif that was planted in the ground??? Are they true to the parent???

Yes we bloom lots of prolifs every year that are planted and yes they are true to the parent.

Ok, good to know. I thought many years ago that I took one off the plant and planted it beside the mother plant and when it bloomed it looked different. A nice member here sent me a nice clump of Margo Reed Indeed that was grown from a prolif, so I am glad to know that it will bloom true to the original plant.

A couple more open everyday, which is neat. This first one is a lillium but I have no idea which one. Back 25 years ago I didn't keep track of names.

BEST OF FRIENDS - will always be in my garden, love it!!!



CINNAMON MIST - another very nice old one by Wild


AMERICAN FOLKLIFE - an old one by Wild



CINNAMON MIST is the last picture. For some reason it didn't post the name right by it.

Cindy, Best of Friends & Cinnamon Mist are really pretty to me.

Thanks for the answer Judy. Yes, I always wait until the scape starts turning brown before cutting off the prolif. Funny, last night when I asked that question I didn't even think about the fact that obviously the scape on Ann's prolif has not turned brown yet. I have never heard of a prolif getting so large w/o the scape turning brown. Wow!

Cindy, bloom has started!

Here is Butterfly Cove looking gorgeous today

I like that Butterfly Cove.

Lisa, I love your Armed and Dangerous--beautiful. It just went on the WANT List--along with thousands of others--

Yes Lisa, I'm excited because I have a lot of new ones with scapes, including Happy Happy. I am really looking forward to hybridizing with that one.

I like Best of Friends and Armed and Dangerous best today.
