Extending the Season

....more late blooming daylilies....

How Beautiful Heaven Must Be...a lovely name for a very nice daylily on rebloom. This daylily commanded a very high price for a few years, but you can now acquire it pretty reasonably. Like a lot of the ruffled edge ones, it likes the heat.


Eyawana is one I wouldn't have known about....except I visited a friend in Maryland's garden and it was one she had lined out. She's right, it's a no-fuss daylily with a long season of bloom.


Two of Ann & Russell Burgess...a big whitish one....just to show you how the same bloom can look depending on what angle you choose to take it from...



Getting closer to the actual color of Catapult Sam (I don't have to say....for once...that it looks darker than this)...


Bridgeton Goodness....reliably late for me...one I need to move from the backyard to the front (among many) so I can appreciate it in the company of other lates...


You Know Who was moved this year....very unceremoniously...basically just dumped into its new spot...and you'd never know. Scapes were still tall and strong...blooms were plentiful. However, (sigh) this one was taken in full sun (not good) and the eye zone is darker....


Spirit of Sapelo remains a favorite as it has such personality...


A few doubles...this one, Fire Agate, on rebloom.....has been great this year...super performer, always double...again, taken in full sun...the color is a nice red. Another one acquired in Florida last year...this one settled right in, despite being divided twice.


Another form of a double, hose-in-hose (layered), Alternate Universe is also reblooming...


All in All is finishing up its original bloom....


I'm not big on orange, but as you can see, I do have some. The rebloom this year has been great! It's not normal here...perhaps due to our early bloom season this year. I noticed yesterday that Artic Lace, Lovely Pink Lady and Terry Lyninger are sending up rebloom scapes. Lovely Pink Lady did rebloom for me last year, so that one is not a surprise. Terry Lyninger is sending up its second rebloom scape (I actually found two!). It has never bloomed like this.

North Wind Dancer got moved last fall and still has put on a good show this year...


Shoo-Fly Pie is finishing up...


Haven't really heard anyone mention this one as a late...for me, it continues to bloom and bloom....Forsyth White Buds...


American Doll, a soft pink on rebloom....


Yes, we've seen these before....here they are together....Suzy Cream Cheese (peach) and Mascara Snake...


An impact maker, Bridgeton Ivy League pumps out loads of blooms each day...


One of the Ohio seedlings I brought back....this one a Bachman one...and yes, it is purple not red (as usual)....really like the bright green throat...


I am starting to notice the rest of the garden (laugh)....one of the many phlox seedlings around here...this one growing by some daylilies...


Seeing these blooms makes me glad I replaced this rose. Although is has no fragrance (a major flaw, in my opinion), the color is so outstanding...



In the backyard, Look Here Mary, Sandra Elizabeth and After Awhile Crocodile continue to bloom. If it ever cools down, and once they finish blooming, I'm planning to move them somewhere out front to better appreciate them....maybe I'll put some of each on the Lily Auction as they're good sized clumps now.

In my dreams, I have plenty of well prepared spots to move everything to. Wouldn't that be nice...
