Here are several quick snaps from this morning after a low temperature of 46 degrees. Pardon the quality but I was in a hurry.
HEAVENLY ANGEL ICE totally schizophrenic, half the blooms were lovely and half displayed a sort of species tulip form
CERULEAN WARBLER tried hard but didn't quite make it
BILL FALL all but that bottom sepal
BAFFIN BAY BEAUTY discounting splotches the form isn't too bad. There is a hint in the ruffles of a cold morning (don't know about that bee landing pad.)
BILL NORRIS did not like the cold
AUTUMN WOOD as far as I'm concerned, a beautiful bloom. Unless you are into 7" blooms or complex patterns, you should grow this daylily.
SOUL ON FIRE blooms look good
HEAVENLY UNITED WE STAND a little canoeing but I can forgive that. Many daylilys that share this form (such as SUNNY INTERVALS or REV IT UP) open well
SILOAM AMAZING GRACE yes it is "old" but what more can you ask?
SNOW CRYSTAL small blooms and too close together but did pretty well.
I didn't shoot all of my good blooms and I skipped lots of bad blooms, and horrible blooms, and frightening blooms but that kind of gives you a picture of my garden with cold mornings. We have been having 45's and 46's for a week now.
WILLIAM COLBY JONES picked for our breakfast table, photographed in natural light. Looks pretty good I think.
I will come back to this thread when our lows take another jump down.
