Prickly sensation

Morning and afternoon (after a rain shower)

.

I didn't think I'd like Prickly Sensation but I do. It's an intriguing mix of colors.

I haven't seen Tink/Michele on here since I got back. I hope she's doing well.

Leslie, I agree! It has been a pleasant surprise and has increased well. last year it even rebloomed for me, not many rebloom here in northern KY.

Lalambchop1,
I've missed her posts also, I just assumed that she was very busy the past two months.

Lilydaydreamer thanks for posting your pictures of Prickly Sensation. I got 3-4 fans of Choral Fantasy from Maryotts but when they bloomed last year one was different. I just realized now they must have sent a fan of Prickly Sensation by accident! It looked just like your first picture except the teeth aren't as sharp. I'll have to mark that fan this year if it blooms.

I was wondering about her also. I know I get out of the habit of posting/checking ATPs from time to time, but it has been a long time. Anyone know how she is?

Tink was selling on the auction not very long ago.
I also haven't seen Ladylovingdove and Farmerbell.
They always posted very nice flowers.
Who else are we missing?

I was just wondering where Ladylovingdove was myself. Her pictures of some of the newest daylilies are one of the reasons I joined this forum. I hope everyone is alright and will check in soon.........Maryl

Last I heard from Michele (Tink) a few weeks ago she was good but busy. Dot (Ladylovingdove) is alive and well - posting quite frequently on Facebook.

And to answer your question Leslie, your COSMIC KALEIDOSCOPE looks exactly the same as mine. I was also expecting more of a lavender tone but both the dip and the tet conversion have the same shades.

The last day of May and I have more FFOE, so exciting to go down to the garden and see new blooms!

This one was a big surprise...I have a second plant of Carnival In Mexico! I was totally expecting this bloom to be something other than this. But, this was such a beautiful bloom I was just thrilled to see I now have two plants.

'Carnival In Mexico': First flower to open ever on this plant today.

'Carnival In Mexico': A repeat bloom this morning on the first plant.

Another G.H. Wild daylily planted in late March.
'Prairie Blue Eyes': FFOE

'Fooled Me': FFOE


That was all the FFOE blooms, but I had to take more photos the blooms were so beautiful today!
'Jolyene Nichole': Always looks good.

'Corryton Pink' starting to look better.

'Lime Frost': Love the near whites.

'Sunday Gloves': Another near white.


I love having plants with multiple blooms opened
'Spanish Glow':

'Magic Lake':

'Baja': This plant always looks better than the photos

Blooms on 2 new arrivals this year.... I know I should have cut off the scapes, but I couldn't Blooms are under sized but I still love them.

Living water


Aldersgate also bloomed again today

I should wait till these rebloom, but cant Came around to the new plant side at about 4 yesterday, Darned if I hadnt missed three new blooms. Keep in mind these have taken some sun all day. I actually think it helps CIO, instead of fading it out.

Carnival in Oz


Head Hunter


Warm Up the Bus



This one is out of the sun, but also out of focus....nice crisp tea olive in the background tho...errrr

I really liked Living Water, Carnival In Mexico and Head Hunter!
About how tall did Head Hunter get?

Some today.

I wanted a dark, mahogany red and that's what I got. Nyiragongo:


Tallest scape coming in at 40" on Serge Rigaud. I keep trying to figure out why some plants are doing well and some are not:


Trying to keep quiet in the stinking gourd foliage, but Primal Scream is too loud for that to be successful:


Square Dancer's Curtsy giving a thumbs up for all the wonderful rain this month:

Dragonfly Dawn FFO!

Does anybody recognize this one?
I got this one from Farmhouse Gardens years ago and it's just now blooming.
It said on the tag that it was Poneasion Island a Salter daylily.
There is no such thing, any guesses???

Lava Flow! Love it!

Another NOID... Anyone know this one?
No twists or curls with this one.

So many pretty ones today. The Carnivals (in Mexico and Oz) were my fav's.

It was a great day today. Lots of blooms and a couple of new ones.

Here is a bud growing out of a bract. I've never seen that before.


Dr. Octopus bloomed for the first time. It is amazing.



Leap to Glory FFE


Navajo Sand Painting FFO


Poetic Pattern FFO


Raspberry Flambe FFO. Sorry about the thrip damage. The color was gorgeous though.


Simple Style


Stormy Brew FFO


Sunny Attitude FFO

Wow!!! Dr. Octopus is Really AMAZING! I also like Raspberry Flambé!

Leslie, I have never seen anything like Dr. O. That is really amazing.

@gardenglory That Carnival In Oz I gorgeous!!

Larry now that's what I'm talking about on Carnival In Mexico!
Leslie Dr. Octopus, I've never seen such a thing. Registered as a double spider UF. I bet that would be hard to categorize in a flower show.
