As usual, I'm blown away by all the gorgeous flowers here, folks. Just stunning. I have only 6 or 7 plants since I buy batches, then if they show signs of being rusty buckets (hey, it's Florida . . ) I transplant them to my daughter's garden in Utah. The dry air there seems to pretty much prevent any rust problems. Today, I have Siloam Double Classic finally putting up a nice double, then, in the same pot this poly jumped up, twice the height and 4 times the size of the SDC flowers, over 9in. across. Also a nice productive scape of Leabee Orange Crush, which has a great fragrance.

I'm already falling behind on posting pictures and will try to catch up somewhat in the next couple of days.

ANGEL'S VIEW (Guy Pierce, Fall 2017 Intro)
I really couldn't get a feel for how this daylily looks from the hybridizer's picture, so I was very pleased when this beauty started blooming. The first bloom was terribly
splotchy, but I loved the look of it.
Thumb of 2018-05-10/Betja/ded241

And then here's how the second bloom looked. The first picture was early in the morning, and I must admit that I wasn't all that impressed.
Thumb of 2018-05-10/Betja/26f711

But then later in the day it looked like this... Wow!

What a great green throat on a huge flower! Lovey dubby

And I love love love Guy Pierce's new WHO LOVES BLUE. It's such a treat because every bloom looks a little different. Here's more patterning:

And yesterday's bloom was a little more in the blue range... Lovey dubby

And sooooo fertile!

DIAMOND SHORES - (Guy Pierce, Spring 2017)
I purchased this daylily during their summer sale last June and posted a few pictures here in our database when it was quite pastel -- and when it started blooming last week I couldn't believe it was the same daylily -- what a beauty!

By the way, I've been taking pictures using both my camera and IPhone, and this is an example of the difference. These were two different blooms, but my IPhone makes the bloom look brighter and now I'm using both to try and get pictures that look the most like the actual blooms.

GALACTIC GREEN - (G. Pierce, Spring 2016)


CATHEDRAL OF LIGHT - (Dan Trimmer, 2018)
This is a very pastel diploid with a beautiful green throat - love it!


JANE'S WONDERMINT - (Jane Trimmer, 2018)
This one has different looks too... Such a beauty!

I noticed my first scape of the season, on 'Asheville Pink Lady' yesterday! Hurray! There may be others, but I was happening by that one, while going from the back to the front, when preparing to dig out the Stellas for giving away (which there were two scapes on those, but they don't count any more Green Grin! ) Anyway, I'm so excited to see my FFO, this year!! Hurray! Hurray! Lovey dubby

Beautiful Betty!

These were yesterday's, late afternoon blooms on these.
This one is one of my canary in the cave CVs as I use it as a rust indicator. But the bloom is nice, even after being beaten by the sun.

This one has looked much better in past years. The drought like conditions we're experiencing, have taken a toll.
