Stunning blooms Bronwynne!!!
Good to see the bloom on your Olympic Showcase. The parent clump is still struggling here. I might shift it again. It is such a nice gold. It is supposed to be resistant but the rust loves it too much.
My Full of Treasure, which reminds me of Green Mystique, is struggling badly at the moment. I think it is about the worst rust bucket I have seen. Pity - it has a lovely bloom too.

So many pretty ones bron! I really like Picadilly Princess

I love it too Vickie. It is a better size than some of the very small blooms I have. I didn't even take a pic of PAWN OF PROPHECY today. I will water it more.

PP varies from pale to darker orange, and the reddish halo is sometimes almost absent. I flowers well, but it is a bad ruster. I have some bee pod seedlings from it that should flower this season. Sadly they too look like being rusters. But I am curious how they will look as, being a Dip, the pollen parent is apparently likely to be something else.

Gleni said:Karen it appears to be some form of attack on the roots. The fans end up with the roots severed from the seedling and they fall over. They are big fans and not tiny seedlings.
I have replanted several. Interestingly, a few regrew roots and two sent up new shoots to the side of the dilapidated original fan!

Today I noticed a small fan of BEATRICE REINHARDT was horizontal. The top part came away as if the crown had rotted. 2 other small fans in the same pot seemed fine. Then I realised I may have pulled the hose across the pot. So I wonder if one of your early theories of the wind knocking the fan back and forth might account for your losses, esplly since some sent up new shoots.

Bron these were my favorites today, with Hearts of Fire topping the list
HEARTS OF FIRE
MALENY EYECATCHER
TROPICAL HEATWAVE
Gorgeous Blooms as always

I am behind with the daily daylily photos. I fell asleep at the computer last night and what I had done all faded away.

Just like BRAVE KEMO SABE which I think is finished for the season. Such a lovely bloom too.

Definitely one of my favorites Glen You're going to have to quit those late night pictures if you're falling asleep at your computer

Brave Kemo Sabe is definitely one of the best I've seen this season. Added to my want list!

Thank you Ginny and Vickie.
Ginny, you will have to wait for a placid period and I will write down my fertilizing program. I learnt all from NGA. Even so, Bron is being kind.
Two days to catch up on. I hate weekends on the island. The weekenders turn up and go all feral: mowing, whipper snipping and chain sawing. They prance around sweating and glowing in their fleeting moments of triumph over nature.

Two days behind. As the number of blooms increase the tasks - the dead heading, photography, crossing and recording - increase too. I try to start at 5am. Any later and my little native bees have taken all the pollen. Although, I notice that there is an increase in honey bees this year so I can blame them too.

Flowering first time ever in the garden, a cute swap with Bron.

Not a problem on the fertilizer. Take your time. Blooms are absolutely spectacular.

Just some more photos.

It is trick and treat tonight. Halloween is catching on here. I have bought lots of chocolates in case children come knocking. The good bit is that they probably won't in this part of the island and I get to eat all the treats tomorrow.

DRAGON KING and children, QUEENSLAND RED.



STELLA BELLA has a long flowering period. It is used often in landscaping.


MILANESE MANGO


The last bloom for the season for OLYMPIC SHOWCASE I think. I had moved it but it still looks the pits. It is fun bright gold that likes to poly. It is a shame because we have had some fun times together.


CLEDA JONES clumps are coming into flower. They are starting to look pretty impressive with buds everywhere.


CRAZY MISS DAISY x WAVES OF JOY 2014 220


My daylily morning tea is next Thursday and it looks like the display is going to be impressive (touch wood). You, of course, will see exclusive photos.

I keep my important seeds indexed and annotated in my seedbox.

Good luck with your daylily tea, Glen! Sounds like fun and I hope the weather is wonderful for you

Crazy Miss Daisy x Waves of Joy is looking good. I am partial to flat-faced and bagel shaped daylilies, so I really like the shape of this one. I guess that is also why Dragon King really appeals to me also.

Hope you get some trick-or-treaters, but not so many that you can't enjoy the treats yourself

Wow Glen! So many beautiful blooms, it's good your a great photographer! It is always fun to get a trick or treaters or two! Neat to see what costumes they come up with. Hope your tea is highly successful. Can not wait to see the exclusive photos! May you be blessed with many good and wonderful people in your life!

Wow Bron! Your blooms are gorgeous, too! Your photography skills are great! You put in alot of hard work, thanks for sharing the fruits of your labor! May your blessings include being surrounded by many good and wonderful people in your life!

Stunning blooms Glen. Such substance. all your seedlings are getting better and better. the ring of white dots, ruffled edges and all kinds of cute things.
Hope u had a good shower of rain as we did last night. Was afraid it would just be thunder which upsets my dog. Helped some of the parched buds to open a bit better
FFOS HELENA SEABIRD usually is bigger, and opens better. A magnificent flower, but rust is usually worse than at present


FFOS DOGE OF VENICE Quite a blue purple.

FFOS KANSAS KITTEN buds got too hot.

T- 'lavender rose'

Yellow Gold

PICCADILLY PRINCESS

KELLY'S GIRL last until rebloom . Think it would be a little darker in shade. Last night I noticed the ends of the petals much darker before it opened up completely.

Ran out of battery just as about to take pic of TROPICAL HEAT WAVE. Plenty more buds.

Good luck with your tea Glen I'm sure your lilies will be spectacular. Glen and Bron both have awesome blooms today I love Glen's a dragon king and Bron's dodge of Venice

I assume THAT is your security guard protecting those seeds?

Or is he trying to let you know that he is feeling a bit under-appreciated and ignored and perhaps even insulted that he is competing with plants for your attention?

Just kidding ..... I know how much your kitties mean to you!

The cats love any small box even though they cannot fit in them. They are mad.

Flowering in the garden first time this season.

Bertie is quite lovely

Wow - this has already been going for 378 replies!? My season is only just getting off to a slow slow (and ugly!) start. Hopefully not too long before we're enjoying some beauties here too.
