Cerulean Warbler...one I saw in FL last year and had to have...it struggled out this spring, worrying me for a bit, but seems to be doing great now...good increase and reblooming...
Forsyth White Buds...
Greenway...not quite up to its perfection of last year, but since I thought it was a goner, I'm thrilled it's still here...even if it is only two fans holding on...
This is Bridgeton Ivy League...relatively unknown, I think, came to me as a bonus from the hybridizer (Dr. Apps). It's quite the performer. A late with big strong and sturdy scapes. I seriously thought about taking it to the NCDC show, but discovered it had been registered at a very strange and small four inches. My blooms are at least five inches. I don't think they've ever been four inches. Depending on the judges panel, this could doom it. So, no sense in bothering with it...however, we can still enjoy it...
Cather in the Eye...reblooming...
Taken in the shade this morning, Watermelon Luminosity...one that is starting to shine...also on rebloom...
A bit of a different view of Stippled Statement...taken early enough that the sepals haven't started to recurve...love all the teeth...
Mixed feelings on this one. It's kind of a brown red, if that makes sense. I think given another year it will show more what it can do...it's just the old space, space, space thing...and since it has a primo spot in the front yard, there are many vying to take its place (ha)...
This is same Bachman Seedling (#4) I showed the other day (should be more purple rather than the red it appears here)...
I show it because it is a bud builder, meaning that it keeps adding buds...which is a very good thing....and because I saw it has a prolif with a bud...
Prolifs, as we know, are exact copies of the plant (unlike seeds)...gift plants, if you will...The scape needs to stay alive long enough for the prolif to develop roots. Anyway, quite an achievement for such a little guy.
And, for our amusement (or at least mine), Sam Cat in what we call Dead Bug Pose...or maybe just a mimic of his victims which he usually brings to this door...
He's such a stitch.
How long have you been growing daylilies?
