LOL....I noticed, Glen, that you had posted some lovely yellow daylily blooms today. Your Winter doesn't last as long as ours does here in the NE. Lucky you. I am always so sad when I have to close down the garden in preparation for Winter. This is also a busy time for me while we still have warm days. I also have to clear my decks in the next month, bring plants inside, and store deck furniture in the garage. And there is never a 'man' around the house when I need one. Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing

Glen, I am not leaving the site, just preparing to hibernate, like our bears do, for the Winter. I promise you, I won't miss any of your beautiful images. And, as you may know, New England, and especially Vermont has a gorgeous foliage season during the Fall. This is the time of year when our Sugar Maple trees as well as our Red Oaks ...there leaves turn from green to a golden orange, reds, yellows, and all shades in between.. The entire State: mountains, valley's, gaps, and gores appear to be on 'fire', nestled amidst our covered bridges, red farmhouses and silos, streams, and fields of gold. 'Leaf-peepers' come from all over the world to enjoy this remarkable spectacle of nature. It is really something for all the senses to experience. A rich kaleidoscope of amazing colors, all co-ordinated and produced by Mother Nature! Thumbs up

Alex, that sounds wonderful. We more seem to fight winter here and the differentiation between the seasons become blurred. It always stuns me when I go south in autumn the colour of trees and their leaves are just so spectacular. So good to hear you will still be on.

Nice to see September daylily blooms! I thought my season was over with my last post in August but Ruby Stella had other plans and threw up a few new scapes. Only one of four divisions but something to compare to next year. While I was taking pictures a squirrel decided to steal a pear from my neighbor's tree and take it to higher ground where their dogs can't get to him. Sticking tongue out

Wes....'Stella' looking very ruby.

And that squirrel appears to be very well fed. Cute pix!

She will change color from being more golden early in season to the peachy-tan color seen here.
Wish I knew her name. She came from an area daylily farm now gone.

First few years she went dormant but now stays green, so guess she is semi.
Fans about 42" +-, flowers 6". Slight fragrance, re-blooms.
Easily made LOTS of pods with tets, even when hot...some seeds have sprouted.
Seems to have rust resistance.
Didn't have many daylilies here yet to pollinate, so she was very helpful.

So nice to see daylilies still blooming! There are a few trying to bloom here, Pee Wee's Big Adventure and Albion Moonlight on original scapes, Buffalo Springfield and The Dream Society on rebloom. Several seedlings planted inside in Jan., outside in May .... they all are having a difficult time of it. The overnight temps, mostly in the 40's (we were 31f last night) are causing opening and closing problems, the season is over and the rush to get everything done to have the garden ready for winter has begun. The freezing temps are about 2 weeks early...the two weeks I needed for the last seed pods to ripen. Spent over 3 hours yesterday afternoon tagging and cutting scapes with pods to bring inside. There were a lot more pods still out there than I thought!

Yes, freezing temps will stop the seeds from maturing. With the different micro-climate areas of the garden and stages of maturity it is possible some wouldn't have had a problem last night, but we have more low temps predicted for next week so I decided not to chance it and bring them in.

It seems I have been waiting for a couple of Yellow Ducky crosses to finish maturing for a month now. The cooler temps are really slowing things down.

Thanks Ann! I love the bitoned effect I get here in Bakersfield, although the picture on CT Daylilies shows it as a rose colored self rather than a bitone. But I love bitones and bicolors!
