As far as I know I have not experienced any spring sickness here. I will keep an eye out, and get more pictures next week. Thanks.

I didn't discover these little blooms until mid-afternoon today.
LITTLE RED FLIRT - So cute!


And this is the third bloom on HEAVEN'S DECLARING this spring, and the first one that opened more than half-way because of our cooler days.

Very nice, Betty!

Had a new face in the garden this morning. Say hello to,

'Crimson Pirate'



Edited to add that Helix had another bloom, probably the best one yet. Sharing in my blog...

I had several repeat bloomers today, but only one new one to open and it is a NOID.

Siloam Double Classic is repeat, but at least it is fully opened.

Nice photos everyone.

First blooms yesterday.
GOOD LUCK Stamile 2016 8"+ bloom


LILLIAN'S FRINGE BENIFITS 2006

LILLIAN'S KONNIE 2005

Beautiful! I love that Frilly Filly! (As well as the others!)

I love Frilly Filly as well. Have since I first saw it. Very nice.

Well even with the mid 80's temperatures in the day, the new blooms are mostly not fully opening.
NOID Double Purple:

My only new bloom of the day, Magic Lake: Not fully opened and showing just a faint halo.

The best looking blooms in the garden over the past couple of days has been Siloam Double Classic. The scapes hold the blooms up above the foliage and they are fully opened. Very little signs of rust so far.



Edited to add: The time from first observance of the scape on Magic Lake till the first bloom was 18 days.

Larry, your Siloam Double Classis has been interesting to watch bloom, going from single to double, now back to single, although I did notice that one bloom is a poly...I have a few that tend to throw polys at the beginning of the season. Hope to see them soon!

Here are my (repeats) blooms for today since it's a bit slow.
My 7.5" NOID with a quilled bloom:



And Orangutan showing much better form and color with the warmer days and nights:

Ok so this one isn't a bloom yet, but I think it's going to be open tomorrow. It's a NOID. Can't wait!

It almost looks carnivorous

It reminds me of Little Shop Of Horors....

FEEEEEEED MEEEEEEE SEEEEMOOORE

I thought the same thing when I saw that bud photo!

Well much warmer days now and the blooms are starting to look much better, I guess that is actually due to the warmer night time temps?
I bought this plant last spring from a California grower. They sent three fans and I planted two together and one in a separate spot. This morning the first ones bloomed, it is not 'Mister Lucky'. I have not had a chance yet to see if it might be one of the other plants in that order.

Royal Eventide consistently looks like a double to me.

This is my first seedling that bloomed from the Mobile Flower Show, the canoeing problem seems to be clearing up and I love it.

These are NOIDs:

My NOID gift did open today.
I acidentaly sprayed it with water yesterday and so it left splotches. But the picture was taken at 4:00pm here. The throat is the darkest green I've seen. The picture doesn't do justice.





Edited to add, Hot Secret will bloom tomorrow. The DW picked out last year at the same time. I'm thinking its another of it.

GaNinFl said:It reminds me of Little Shop Of Horors....

That's exactly what I was thinking!

I'm not very familiar with toothy daylilies, so I was going to ask if they all have buds that look like the creature from Little Shop of Horrors. Is that typical?

CHRISTINE DIXON


MACKENZIE'S RAINBOW

Here's one today:

I have "rage of Paris" - is this it? I transplanted to new home and misplaced it and tag.

Also ditch daylilies are blooming.
