I had 2 cultivars blooming this year for the first time today.

I read where some here say that they get singles on this one - Siloam Double Classic. I've never seen a single on mine:



Galaxy Explosion. I was thinking this one would have bigger blooms. It still caught my eye first thing this morning. It doesn't seem to fade in the sun.:

I was also surprised by the bloom size on GE when I first got it several years ago.

Only 1 named daylily blooming today.

Gleber's Top Creme: It has had no rust, has diamond dusting on petals, short scapes so far (11"). I forgot to measure the first bloom, but it is smaller than I was expecting at this time. It is a newly acquired daylily with only 2 fans.

Late afternoon:

That sounds yummy!

Although our temps are back up to the nineties, some are still struggling to recover from the week or so with cooler weather. Hopefully form will improve this week with more consistent temperatures expected.

I have been noticing many short scapes, flowers that are smaller than normal, and flowers that hare hanging up.
Has anyone else been having the same issues?

Here are my few from today:

Moonlit Masquerade

Always Afternoon

Bam

Carolina Red Bug

Regina, I've had short scapes on several too, but all of mine were moved last fall, so it may be due to the plants not being established.

Navajo Princess, first DL to bloom this year for me:

I love Navajo Princess!!! I have had it for a long time.

Navajo Princess is very pretty!

Aniakchak--first flower ever--the hybridizer lists this one as having 46 buds, sure hope that happens.


My Heart Belongs To Daddy--this one has been posted as a single, but triple bloom this morning was so pretty.

I'm jealous of all your blooms . Being in zone 5a, no blooms yet. I do have a scape on Celebration of Angels though. Surprisingly, I don't see scapes yet on (NOID) my yellow daylily that ALWAYS blooms very, very, early. Way before any other daylily I have. We had a nice all-day-rain today so I'll probably be seeing scapes beginning soon.

I did have couple of new blooms today on 'Cinnamon Faces'. I took photos this morning, but waited to see if they would flatten out later. They didn't. Temps got into the 90sF with a stiff breeze at times, so I guess these buds had established their form some time earlier. It's the 2nd named cultivar that has bloomed. Interesting that it is a child of 'Tusk' which is now down to the last four buds.

I had some interested nag blooms today (yesterday, now that it's after midnight):

Web of Intrigue, poly bloom:


Paper Butterfly


Wild Horses


Clockwork (late evening, so it's faded)


A couple of NOIDs (these came from a friend years ago, they could be seedlings)



This one was one of the poly buds posted a few days ago:





And a very different looking NOID. I'm showing it as it bloomed today-morning and evening-, when the wind blew part of it away a couple of days ago on its first bloom, and what it looked like last year on the day I purchased it. It appears to have stipples and streaks...it also is a poly today and appears to have several more buds that will be poly form.

All these are NOid





Anyone recognize them?

More NOIDs

This was labeled #25


I really like this one:


Any guesses on their identity?

No guesses on the NOIDs but they're pretty, especially the last one.

These are the first blooms on almost all of these and first blooms ever on several.

Angel Love ; Buddy's Wild and Wonderful,

Double Red Whirlwind ; Double Screamer

Dream Window, Emerald Toucanet

Fours Are Wild, Hybridizer's Truffle

Joan Jackson, Lapis of Luxury

Multi-tasking; Navajo Sand Painting

River Wind; Robin Lee

Whale Tails, Winter Rainbow

Black stocking



Goldenzelle

@Leslie: Your River Wind is great!! and @Dany, I love Goldenzelle. Oh, jealousy, jealousy.... my day will come but not until next year!

Beautiful blooms everyone! Makes my 'want list' even longer

Breakfast With Santa (arrived here on March 10th from Floyd Cove--can't say enough good things about my plants from them!)


Isolde (always has high % poly blooms)



And a seedling from a friend
