Robin you are welcome.
Bron, MIssouri Memories look perfect every time regardless of the weather.

Bron - loving the green throats Great blooms!

Well, I seem to have nearly come to the end of FFOs. HEMEROCALLIS LILIOASPHODELUS is sending up scapes at last. It is nearly 3 months late. It is usually like clockwork for the end of August and the beginning of September. It is a mystery why two big bloomers have no scapes coming on at all: Joan Senior and the unregistered Crikey.

Robin let me know how the electronic mosquito repeller goes!

Some seedlings:
Siblings from King Lamoni X Freedoms Highway. I am back crossing these to see what happens.









This is only 7 months old and it is a bloom machine.

IDAS MAGIC is a lovely bloom but rust likes it too.


DOUBLE ROSEDALE reblooming


BILINGA


GARY COLBY is a big bloom but the scapes are a bit low.


RUFFLED MASTERWORK IS BIIIIIIHG.



PURPLE RIOT is reblooming. It is a large robust bloom too.


So is LINDEN CAPRICIOUS


OLD TANGIERS still is not good for my cataracts.


I love CITRINA. Sometimes I look at it and think, "How did so many modern cultivars come from its perfumed, saltant, whimsy?"


42ND STREET reblooming


WESTBOURNE TID BIT x JOSIE 2014 221 reblooming


FORESTLAKE RAGAMUFFIN

I just got Citrina this year. Can't wait for it to bloom next summer

I just learned that "saltant" means "mutant".... Saltant does sound a lot nicer....
Thanks for sending me to the dictionary Gleni!

Citrina goes on my list now too...

Like those Thin Man seedlings.

I do, too! Very attractive!

Thunderstorm just went through. Some hail and I watched my pods in dread. But all okay and the rain was welcomed. It is so dry.

You will love CITRINA Ginny.

The Thin Man seedling is excellent with its tall scapes and big flowers. And bright - such that I can see it from my office.

So many lovelies Glen. I think "That's really nice" but then they keep coming. Glad you had a little rain. We had a heavy downpour. Most of my blooms today had been already cooked by hot winds. This morning not many blooms but
FFOS on MIDNIGHT RAIDER wh was way redder than pic
Luckily EBONY JEWEL was hiding in the salvia.
This might be HOT BRONZE
The big Yellow NOID is a happy greeting
Lots of blooms on big red NOID but I had to go out.

"What is this thing called 'Hail'?"

This seedling has sent up a wonderful new scape. VolarisXOld Tangiers #VO2016002


Remember, the first scape snapped off one-and-a-half months ago.

and I raised it in sugar and water till a bud opened and I got the pollen

and I already have pods from its pollen. Us humans are ingenious.

Tis truth, Glen.

The blooms sure do vary. Worth waiting to see them perform in different weather experiences. like cool nights, hot humid ones,
We have been lucky and had a few heavy downpours to fill the watertank. Y'day blooming in 32 C heat and 94% humidity:

VICTORIA LACE down in the long native grass. Blooms not huge like the one last year, but more buds

MAKING A SPLASH
FFE on KATHY ROOD. A prize for a daylily story. Chose it because Very Fragrant. Big and lots of petals, so don't expect many blooms n it
This may be CLOTHED IN GLORY. Have to check against another plant. The scape with 6 more buds broke off. Looks like it had been living on a thread for a while. ???
LOIS HALL was quite sunfast
EBONY JEWEL's colour cooked
11cm unid'd light yellow
METAPHOR getting closer to looking right
PICCADILLY PRINCESS looking pretty rust free !!!

'11cm unid'd light yellow', Bron, looks like Hearts Glee?

Nice blooms

Feels tropical here today except for the wind. Not so many blooms out today
GRACEFUL EYE
SILOAM BO-PEEP looking bigger than I remember past blooms. Think it liked being divided.

CRIMSON ICON is pure red
SCARLET ORBIT has a narrow darker halo
MIDNIGHT RAIDER and bilbergia 'Hallelujah'
ULTIMATE PERFECTION got a bit washed away last night
Once it starts red NOID flowers non stop
This unlabelled one is probably the same, but is a much smaller plant
PICCADILLY PRINCESS looking darker than sometimes
this lost label one should be identifiable soon. It has been doing polys and is sun and rain fast. Last pic after all day sun at 5pm .

These last pics r in fact of CHARDONNAY which has since been doubles

Gleni said:'11cm unid'd light yellow', Bron, looks like Hearts Glee?

I have wondered that. Been waiting for a labelled HEART'S GLEE to flower to compare. Is HG a pure colour, ie a very light yellow with no eye or halo, and a very small throat? It is lovely.

Also lovely is the other light yellow one flowering now. It has a significant green throat, is a slightly darker yellow, and a bit bigger. It is nocturnal.

Hope u got rain but not hail. We got some more. Not a lot but a decent heavy shower. Heaps better than the hot sun and 40 + km/hr wind we had most of the day. And better than the way worse weather others get.

I cannot figure out if this damage to my letterbox was an accident or premeditated and deliberate. Either way I think it would have been difficult to do.

Well, the warnings were for two dangerous thunderstorms in a row, Bron. It was a bit of a let down so to speak. The rain was okay. But I must admit the storms spooked the cats, the wimps.

I have an elderly lady friend in Noosa who is a Koala activist. Someone blew up her letter box in the 70s. Those were the days.

Peculiar, Bron. Is the box aluminum or steel?

Great blooms! That letterbox damage is really strange

If I were making up a story, I'd say someone in a pickup truck with something like T-bar posts extending over the top of the tailgate backed into it.
