Hi Becky..... Yes, this sdlg. is by far and away, the most dramatic sdlg. I have ever grown. I will be moving this one to the main garden. The cross is 'Fourth of July in Georgia' (Gaskins) X 'Deadliest Catch' purchased on the LA from 'Ruby', seed seller. What a lucky find. I have already spread the pollen from this one.

Vickie, the "etherial" description on Never Been Kissed reminded me of David Kirchhoff's descriptions. He could make manure sound pleasing.

Alex, your seedling is grand.

Definitely winding down here now Just a couple of pictures for today. There are more in flower but they're ones I've already posted and the flowers were better then also:

'Dublin Elaine'


Flowers on a clump of 'Variegated Kwanso' that has reverted to green but the flowers are still the same. Not sure if it should therefore be labeled 'Green Kwanso' or just plain 'Kwanso'! Or just "Not Flore Pleno"

The blooms just keep dribbling along here -- YEA!!!

I just got BETTY BOOP from Bill Maryott in July, and it is the cutest little small flowered spider -- absolutely love it!


JENNIFER TRIMMER - Another beauty -- FFOE!


And the next three are reblooms:
STAR CHILD


DRAGON KING


MARY ALICE STOKES - The spring blooms were almost pure red with a little white border, but in the summer I get these hand-painted effect blooms!

Leslie - about your comment!

Sue - Gorgeous 'Dublin Elaine'!
Your Kwanzo looks better than mine ever looked. Unfortunately, mine did not survive here in my yard after the 2nd year.

Betty - Lovely!!! I have a couple of seedlings with blooms that look like your 'MARY ALICE STOKES'. I do not know the parentage of my seedlings. Very, very nice bloom photos!!!

Alex - You hit the jackpot with that seedling! Amazing!!!

Gale, so glad Exotic Treasure is blooming well for you. Mine had a few blooms which were good but not spectacular, hopefully it will improve.
I have Thomas Tew yet to bloom, love the pics.
The snails got my Real Wind
I bought Freaky Good from Belgium, hope it looks like the pics posted! As a bonus I got Nicole's Melts My Heart, does anyone grow this?

Flowering in my garden:
All American Chief, always a great performer


Desert Icicle, this has disappointed the past 2 years but not this year!


Rocket Booster, stunning & reliable


Loco Bo, just finishing - hoping for re-bloom


Asterisk, last of the first scapes but instant re-bloom scapes well on their way


Edna Selman, early blooms didn't open properly this is the first good flower but instant re-bloom scapes appearing


Chance Encounter, this one just goes on and on

Hilary......Very nice collection of summer blooms. How I love English gardens. Your pix brought back some great memories.Interesting bloom your 'Loco Bo'. Well done.

Thanks Claudia, it is a true star. Alex I got Loco Bo at a plant fair 2 years ago and I just love it. It didn't re-bloom last year but it was only a single fan then. Now there are 4 fans so I'm hoping

Hi everyone,
I am new here and this is my first post, so I hope I get it right Here are a few pictures taken in my garden today.



Majestic Move


Peggy Jeffcoat


Pizza Crust


Shy Maiden

@touchofsky I would say you did mighty fine! Very Nice in deed!

BTW, I have to figure out how to add my info to my posts, but I am in Ontario, Canada, so a northern garden. Zone-wise, I am about halfway between zone 4a and 4b in Canada.

touchofsky

and for sharing your great photos

touchofsky! Great pictures!

touchofsky. Thanks for sharing your blooms.

to Daylily mania!

I had only a few blooming today.

Jumping Jack Flash






Strawberry Candy



Thomas Tew

Hilary - Love your Jamaican Jammin' as well as all the others you posted photos of!

touchofsky - to ATP Daylily Forum!!! Excellent photos! That Shy Maiden of yours is so nicely sculptured! So pretty each and every one.

Teresa - Thomas Tew is eye-catching! What is that last photo?

touchofsky, beautiful pics. I suppose being in England we have more plants blooming in August. I have quite a few more, I will get more photos and post them later. Unfortunately we have had very little sun so far this summer and the earlier blooms were poor. I had so many that didn't open properly
