You can see the PP's in the pix. I will move GS in the fall.It will join the one in my computer room window.

Scheherazade

Above pics without names have been edited with names added, the deep yellow OT above is 'Belladonna'

jmorth, your Scheherezade looks kinda different from mine, could it be 'Black Beauty'? Although BB usually starts blooming after Scheherezade. I think its the wavy petal edges that's throwing me?

Or Beauty Rose? Scheherezade has the white/cream edge. Whoever it is, it is lovely jmorth.

Shocking with Torch lilies.Lilies are taller this year. Pic isnt as wonderful as last year.

JoAnn, that is such a wonderful combo, I recall admiring it last year, and the Lilies sure have beefed up- superb!

I remember the combo from last year too, and it has really increased. And it's a wonderful combo!

HELP My Satisfaction Lily is ackfiring onme
This is the 3rd year and its color is going in reverse.

Cool!

Maybe Tracey or someone could tell what's happening here. maybe it's the heat????

Oh, Tracey..........

This is the clump from last year, the color difference is remarkable. Its huge with tall stalks 2 inches in dia. Stands alone no more than 2 Stakes.

On those nice watermelon colored OTs, the heat can definitely fade the bloom. I have learned to plant mine in high shade (or on an east or northfacing side) to preserve the color. One hot summer I think the heat scorched the already faded color and the blossoms lasted two days! Those colors from my experience, hate the heat!

Thanks tons.
There is only 2 open blooms. When I looked at the rest of them the buds looked pale. I imagine heat and sun did the bleaching. I have to divide that clump this year. I will replant in a shadier spot.

Here is my Beauty Rose which started blooming 6-27, a week before my Scheherazade.

here's my Black Beauty which just started to open:

jmorth, gorgeous shot of Beauty Rose!

JoAnn, some of my OTs, particularly those pink hues, were much more colorful last year too. I recall last summer being mild temperature wise here, and seems folks all around the country were talking about it being a cooler, wetter growing season than normal, so I'd bet that's what's going on with 'Satisfaction'.

Thanks Neal .It makes sense. I'll wait for a better year tostart worrying.

Great looking Torch lilies Jo Ann. I've given up on them after killing a few.


My Scheherazade opens with yellow edges that later turn white.

Here's an Anastasia someone sent me in a trade last years. So pretty!

Robina is fast becoming a favorite. I have people walking by the front just to smell it.

Robina is probably a little too tall for it's location, but I hate to move it until it's ready to divide.

stilldew, that's a neat daylily in the foreground
