A few days ago we had the LFO on 'Winning Note'. Today (you've already seen pictures) are blooms on the sole rebloom scapes on 'Tuscawilla Tranquility' and 'Beautiful Edgings', and also the penultimate bloom on 'December Wedding'. I'm really going to be sad to see the end of bloom on that one... the edge is IMHO really neat, sort of a soft lemon (I can't really see it as gold), with a bit of gilt silver (in places) at the very outermost edge. It's an elegant, beautiful, subtle, not overly-large or overly-done edge, just what I like. (Sorry, not a big fan of chicken fat edges, toothy edges (frightening!), or very large edges here...)

On the plus side, I discovered another scape coming up on 'Nancy Billingslea'. She is in a tremendously bad bed, hard clay, dry, afternoon sun... the only things that grow there (except under shade) are very drought tolerant, and not always then. I had almost given up on her. I'm thinking of tearing out some struggling plants from the sunny spots in that bed (including another daylily) and putting in bearded irises. I think 'Nancy' is going to stay, though.
Evaluating an iris seedling, hopefully for rebloom
