kousa said:Wow, amazing blooms in Nov! How do you still manage to get blooms in your zone 5? Frost has totally killed all the buds on my scapes.

I was wondering the same thing!

It is certainly not the best looking bloom, but I hope when it blooms at a "regular" time next spring it will look much, much better.

In my zone 5, at this moment, it is 27°. This the first freezing temperature for us. Weeks ago we had light frost that damaged some buds, but others went on to bloom.

I am sure that after this morning, there will not be any more blooms.

I haven't gone out yet to see if it survived the cold temperatures last night.

I wonder if a northern hemisphere bloom wouldn't automatically be a rebloom if it showed up in November Smiling . In any case, this was a rebloom scape on 'Aztec Firebird' and it has beaten the first frosts. It was trying to, and sort of did, open yesterday, but it was cool and didn't complete the job. I wasn't sure what it would be today, but the photo was taken after 1p.m. Bloom in November Big Grin .

I looked in the database at Paul Aucoin and that plant sure is a beauty. It's really too bad you got the wrong plant Diana.

Cindy, I have another double fan that should be PA. It was a BOGO, so I am hopeful that I still have it. I'll have to wait for next summer to see what that other set produces. My fingers are crossed!
*added* It will be interesting to see what my little NOID becomes next year- it was pushing it to get that bloom considering it was planted in mid-October. **

I plan on emailing the sellers to see what they think the false Paul Aucoin might be.

Wow I can't believe there are so many blooms there!
This year the cold started early. I have some plants growing new fans but no scapes. Sunny hours dramatically decrease, when it's not cloudy the light of sun hits the garden for one hour only Sighing!

Those are some impressive ruffles on that cultivar! Might be a good one to use in hybridizing because of those fat ruffles!

Several of the Maryott's cultivars that I received in September have been blooming and some are even re-blooming now! Pretty impressive for November, though I know that it is because his nursery has a later bloom period and this likely won't happen next year in my garden. But I sure am enjoying the late blooms this season!

On Saturday, I had 2 blooms on Walter Kennedy. It is an EMO and the blooms were gorgeous despite the morning temps in the upper 40's. It was also one of the first to bloom after I received it in September and is now re-blooming on 1 scape. Nice to go out to the garden and see this beauty in November! Because of the cooler temps on Saturday, these 2 blooms were still open on Sunday morning. It didn't start wilting until around noon time on Sunday! Love it! Lovey dubby Lovey dubby

I am also seeing 1 re-bloom scape on Power Surge.

In addition, I observed 2 scapes forming on Spacecoast Color Scheme. So that will mean that all but 1 of the 5 cultivars that I received in my September Maryott's order will have produced blooms for me this Fall/Early Winter. Thomas Tew, Power Surge, Walter Kennedy, and Spacecoast Color Scheme are the 4 that will in fact bloom this year for me. Cosmic Kaleidoscope has not sent up any scapes so far, so it may be the only one NOT to bloom in my garden before 2016 is over. Though you never know .... it could produce some December blooms! That happened last year with a previous Maryott's order. Considering the late blooms on both my Maryott's orders, it makes me rather sad that they are no longer in the business of selling daylilies.
