I have some squirrels that would love to get after those 'shrooms'. I have some red ones that they were buzz sawing thru the other day. I would swear they were high as a kite or drunk off those things.

Flowering for the first time yesterday. I am running behind.

JUST CELEBRATE


DANNY STEVE MITCHELL. This is the first time this clump has flowered for me. There was another bloom 4 days ago but the bloom hung, caught up at the front of the flower. I have another clump that apparently flowered last year and the photos show the blossoms hung on it too. For this bloom in the photo I watered heavily to see if it made a difference. Does anyone know if DSM has a reputation for hanging?


Others:

FREEDOM'S HIGHWAY. The one fan has turned into a wonderful clump this year. Lots of blooms to come.

SUMMER LIGHTNING

That FREEDOM'S HIGHWAY is wonderful! What a beautiful flower on that cultivar!!!

I like Freedom's Highway, too, but that Mary Ethel...

Welcome to the forum Jess. I've been admiring your images being added to the database. This thread will certainly brighten up our long, cold winter!
Looking good Gleni. Enjoyed seeing the images of your garden party. It is always fun to have visitors to share the garden and good food with. Tiffany Gold

MEA! Still loving Red Bull.

Flowering the first time for me this season

BEAUTIFUL EDGINGS


FORESTLAKE RAGAMUFFIN is a true dormant here. It has lasted three years so far.


HEMEROCALLIS CITRINA . The bleached, floppy fan I got off eBay had to be seen to be believed. Supposedly from Vietnam the blurb said. It is now doing fine after some loving care.


First poly for the season.
And BILINGA likes to poly. Very hard to photograph this plant. Grumble, grumble.

Froggy wants you to send Gleni all your daylilies. He already has CHILI SPICE

Love them all.

Do we need to come over and distract them while you make your getaway?

If I wouldn't get caught by Postal Inspectors, I'd send you dozen of them.

Jess! Glad you joined the best place on the web. I love that picture of Earl Barfield!

Wow Glen, your daylilies are really coming along! So many beauties

BLINGA, BLINGA, BLINGA!!!! And ALL the others -- they ALL go BLINGA! Chili Spice, Awesome Candy, Scarlet Lace...just to name a few.

Thanks peeps!

Glen, you have quite a few stunners there. Freedom's highway is gorgeous however my pick would be Bilinga. I love big heavy voluptuous blooms.

I love the crepe look to tiffany gold. Very interesting. The edging on JT Davis is lovely.
What does hanging mean? You mentioned it in regards to dsm. I have dsm as well it is a while off blooming yet.

Jess - Those are beautiful! And that "bonus" plant is a winner! Apparently the nursery sent you the wrong cultivar ....

Gleni, I think you did a great job taking a pic of Bilinga, and I am really loving Freedom's Highway!!!

Jess, hanging is when elaborately edged segments of the flower (of teeth, frills, tentacles, owls ears, angel wings or the like) do not come apart but get caught up with each other and the blooms only partly open or not at all.

Here is one bud of DANNY STEVE MITCHELL that I separated by hand but it didn't help much.

Jess, I particularly like Bluegrass Music.

Thank you Cindy.

Today, flowering for the first time this season is VOLARIS. It looks like it got hung up a bit.


Other beauties:

HAPPY APPACHE with which I am well pleased.


EARL BARFIELD which Jess also has flowering


MOROCCAN SUMMER which I have had a not too good a run with. I eventually broke the clump up and spread it throughout the garden. Now some of these are doing quite well especially in the drier areas of the garden.


I am very impressed with this Australian cultivar of Jude Wood. Bright, large and vigorously vivacious.


HOT EMBER. This looks a bit too orange. The camera did it.
