Amy, I can imagine fairies wanting to dance in that bed of color. The eye of your seedling has me counting the hours to see bloom open.

Cindy, wondering what bloom size on Emerald Enchantment is?

Dormantsrule, it is a Sev tet that blooms em with a 6" bloom on 26" scapes. Scapes are a bit taller here, maybe 28".

Cindy, Thanks much. I really like it, especially the very noticeable green throat.

Emerald Enchantment, wow! I love the color and that vivid green throat. Cindy and Dormantsrule, I too really like this seedling and am going crazy waiting for it to have a fully open flower! The seedlings I have are not my own creations. All of my seedlings are from hybridizers, that one, is a Bob Faulkner seedling I have a handful of new ones opening this year. I am waiting for them to open with a nice looking bloom so I can get some pictures. I am a very impatient person.

So much eye candy here! I love looking through the threads and adding to my long want list. Here are some blooms from July but things are not blooming as good right now, might be the heat.

Wonderful to sit in the evening and see everyone's blooms. Still sputtering a few new ones each day. The display garden is on the north side of the house and runs a week behind the hybridizing beds on the south side, strange, but that is how it has always been. Nice to see a few garden shots mixing in, too.

Blues Avenue, an evg with a really neat pattern eye that was not very happy here it's first two years, but when threatened with bloom or compost...it has settled in and bloomed well the past two years



Increased Complexity, nice color but blooms down in the foliage for me. Might be getting to much shade.



and the last ffo today Mystic Pizza, wonderful bright color and always has beautiful form.

HOME OF THE FREE - Grace 2012

Lots to see and admire! I really like Twilight Chimes!

Amy, that is one of the prettiest garden shots I've seen. Just love all the colors together and the different shapes. Very nice!

Increased Complexity is another favorite!

Amy, I am waiting to see that outrageous Faulkner sdlg. Love, love your beautiful garden shot.

Susan, nice to see some of your Summer blooms. Keep posting.

Char..isn't it funny when you threaten a plant with bloom or compost, most of them choose to bloom rather than extinction. Happens a lot.

I have a few to post today. Some old, and some new. Bloom season is really slow up here this Summer.

Editing this to mention that the above FFO of 'Hidden Heart' adding a 4th petal, making it a poly. Never seen this before on this plant. Lovely bloom.

Be still my Hidden Heart! I have to check that one out for sure. Those petunias are divine. Love the colors.

Here are a few for today :)

Coronation Day - FFO's + some rain damage. I am in love! Gold diamond dusted edges with a handful of teeth. This picture does not do it justice. I am adding more Emmerich 's next year.



Pirate's Patch



Faulkner seedling. Getting better every bloom. This one knocks my socks off. I need to measure it. I think it has to be at least 6".




Sabine Baur. I told it to get it together or it was leaving. This year it decided to listen.




My cat Al Fresco. Taking a break. He helps me alot in the garden.

What a cutie Al Fresco is!! Some repeats here as I am reall seeing differences over days with color/ or opening as they improve on some this year.

FLASHER... The first shot is on the 13th a warm day and the second on taken today......only a high of 70 degrees here today. Was 59 when I got up this morning.





WITCH'S STICK


FANCY FACE


HEAVENLY WHITE ANGEL.....hope it gets taller. I planted it in the back!


EL DESPERADO


WILD HORSES. I moved this one last fall and it seems to like this spot. Never bloomed well for me before.


WESTBOURNE FOUL WEATHER SUNRISE....had good color today!


WILLIE MARKUS looked good today too!

Here is Tahiti Sweetie's ffoe and I love the colors.


Heavenly Ghostrider has such a long pistil.


Reddy Freddy dancing early this morning. Once RF starts, it blooms consistently with at least 3 blooms every day. Click to enlarge.



Capacity for Wonder's scape is normal but bloom size has been only 5" this year.



Here is a photo of Where'd Y'All Go a year ago today.


Today's ffo is blooming down in foliage on a 14" stunted scape and I noticed that it had heaved. Special thanks to monster winter '13. I wasn't home this winter and really didn't get into the garden much until
mid May. So, when I saw the roots of WYG peaking out of the ground, I started checking other plants and found 14 which heaved.

'Man of Sorrows' is one of my favorite day lilies; love the color. I've had it for 5 years... after the first 2 years I liked it so much I decided to move it to a more prominent location. Guess it didn't appreciate the move and I almost lost it! Didn't bloom at all the next 2 years, but this year it is blooming again and I like it just as much! I have a feeling it will really take off next year, and I promised it I will not move it again!

Linda - Man of Sorrows is a favorite here and I also bought another red of Karol's, Not Guilty, but it hasn't bloomed. Interesting how some balk when moved and others bloom away like nothing happened. I've moved Aabache 4 times, even in mid bloom, and it just carried on.

Holy Cow, looks like you wore him out!

Gorgeous pix daylily addicts..... We in the Northern climes have been pummeled with rain in the past week, along with heavy wind gusts, which has really done a number on some of our ff.o's and blooms. Expecting nice weather into the weekend. Thank goodness, because we deserve some warm, sunny days.

I have a few fav's from the blooms above.

Amy, I love your Faulkner sdlg. Keep posting pictures of it as the season progresses. 'Al Fresco' is such a tease. Rub her tummy for me.

Claudia....I have always loved 'Fancy Face', and your group of blooms is outstanding.

Dormantsrule.... The ffoe of 'Tahiti Sweetie' is new to me. Just love those south seas colors, and interesting eye pattern. A really lovely bloom.
