Wow everyone on the late blooms!! Spectacular and to think I used to think Final Touch was my only late option. Looks like more additions are in order

Here's to a successful July!
Salute!!

Ok, so I want to know where I might be able to purchase Heidi is Happy????? I have Heidi Edelweiss, but I really like this one better.

I'm still working on my midseason bloomers. Peak is a full week late here this year...due to the crappy weather we've had since last fall I guess. We did get a little rain today, very little. The edge of the rain was 3 towns south of us where it was actually raining this morning while I was down there. A few blooms with raindrops...

The 2016 July Bloom thread has been awesome!!

(Tmail headed your way Heidi )

OK a few for the end of July;


WATERMELON LUMINOSITY


SUNNY INTERVALS and that is exactly what the colors look like


VERTICAL HORIZON one month in the ground, guess I have to chop it


HEAVENLY DANGER ZONE


NO FEAR in front of blue delphiniums. My little Canon cannot handle this but it is knockdown gorgeous in real life.


COSMIC TRAVELER lovely FFO


HEAVENLY ANGEL ICE


My wife's circle garden from her kitchen window. I have a sink as well but no window.


So we turn to the taciturn month of August. I'm seven weeks from average first freeze. And still with scapes with no open blooms yet.

What a lovely way to end the July blooms 2016 thread. Lovely photo's everyone, I can't wait to see what August has in store.

Nothing a couple of later blooms. I haven't posted theses ones yet.
H. fulva ... I like this old fashioned single. I have the ditch lily double too, but they are just too sloppy-looking to post.


A red NOID


And I can add 'Addie Branch Smith' as I snagged a half-clump from my mom this weekend. The pic is one of her blooms. It's a little blurry- I had to crop my stupid thumb out and it enlarged too much.

As experienced at my mom's house, 'Addie Branch Smith' is a prolific clump builder. I took half of a four or five year old clump- my half is about 9 inches in diameter and I swear I'm going to have 20+ fans.
Is this normal for this cultivar?

Rob-- Nice classy photograph of a great looking bloom!

Valerie--So many blooms looking so beautiful! The varieties you have are all good looking! Nice photos!

Ginny-- nice picture!

Kidfishing--very nice blooms, I love to see all your faces shining on your daylilies!

LarryR --Nice blooms as always!

Chuck--I thought it was bad here in Texas, the saying is be careful everything bites. But it looks like in Maine even the the flowers can bite! Nice teeth!

Char--Beautiful looking blooms. Nice pictures! Weather sure is odd! You are a week behind and we were a month early!

Charley --gorgeous picture with that blue delphinium! I like the coloring of Watermelon Luminosity!

Diana--Beautiful blooms! Nice job!

Wow fantastic job everyone! May everyone and their families be blessed with a most wonderful week!

Got ten minutes to squeeze in some.
Excellent blooms everyone.

Lilydaydreamer said:OK, here are the stats

Pony (Durio, 1972)
height 26in (66cm), bloom 5in (12.5cm), season M, Rebloom, Dormant, Diploid, Fragrant, Lavender and cream bicolor with green throat. (sdlg × Lavender Flight)

I wish it was smaller but still looks like one I would like to try so on the want list it goes.

I just measured the bloom on Pony today and it came in at 4.5 inches.

Wow...where did the month of July go? It's been so incredibly hot here (like everywhere else) that it's nearly unbearable to be out doing anything, but there are always weeds to pull, beds to freshen up, seeds to start, pods to collect, and this year, battling with the CROWS! They have been stealing seed pods, eating buds, and even eating the daylilies themselves (as well as coleus, bell peppers, dianthus, irises, and anything else they can get into)
I'm also trying to get all my seedlings planted in new beds by the greenhouse, so haven't taken the time to post. I've been reading everything though, and sure have enjoyed the show that you all have been putting on.

The last of my July blooms:

North Wind Dancer


Friends With Benefits


Swallow Tail Kite (with preying mantis eating a spider)


Parade of Peacocks (I think...many plants from this vendor had mixed up tags, and not all bloomed this year)


Lake Norman Spider


Luna


Ruth Whitten


Radiant Greetings


Ancient Wisdom


Cradle of Bethlehem (new for me, and a beauty!)


NOID (nickname is everblooming yellow; I've had it 15+ years)




Another NOID (not a huge fan of the color, but this one has longish metallic gold teeth that I'm intrigued by)


This one was at 8:30 pm


Will post the other blooms on the rebloom thread...

I am not normally a big fan of doubles, but of all those 'Ruth Whitten' was the most impressive to me, and there were a lot of very nice blooms included in those pics.

Larry,
It is even prettier in person, and is a very large bloom. The crows ate many of the buds, but hopefully the two tiny buds that are left will bloom in a week or so. The other thing I like about Ruth Whitten is that it blooms late in my garden, which makes it stand out since it doesn't have to compete when everything is in full bloom.

Regina-- Ruth Whitten is a babe! And right behind her is your yellow Noid! All of your other daylilies are spectacular too! Great job on the pictures! Excellent way to end the month! May you be blessed with a totally awesome August!

Mike--another beautiful set of daylilies! I really like Jolie Blonde and Grandma Kissed Me! Great job! May you be blessed with a totally awesome August!

Emerald Starburst X Cradle of Bethlehem
First bloom for me of a seedling I purchased from the LA.
It has a very green throat, the colors in this picture are spot on. I've been crossing it to all my poly daylilies.

TomThumb-- very nice job! I love that green throat, too! Hope you get some good seedlings from your crosses! May you be blessed with a totally awesome August!

Regina - Lots of beauties in your garden!

Tom - Nice one!

Mike - Your Spacecoast Rio Verde reminds me of an Amaryllis! So pretty!

Regina - I have birdbaths and seed feeders for the birds and squirrels, so they rarely bother my plants. Though the cardinals still pull the blooms off my salvia to lick out the nectar. Some birds just have a sweet beak. I try to keep everyone happy in my yard .... plants and critters alike.

Your top noid looks like one I have been trying to ID for years. For some reason Island Hospitality goes through my mind, but I think I looked that up and decided no. Mine was quite short for awhile with large flowers, but I moved it and it finally grew to a more normal size, but still fairly short.

kidfishing said:I wish it was raining too hard to go out here. May and June are our highest average rainfall months and we just ended June with 1.1 inches of rain after only 2 inches in May.
The electric bill is up from the water well and the Daylilies look great with more rebloom than ever around here.
I spent some picture time in the beds with older Daylilies and still appreciate the beauty of the self colors.
