Here's The Latest

These are FFOS from yesterday and today, hope there is something here for everyone--

Blooming Saturday:

Turkish Turban--love this flower, a big favorite

My seedling cross--no name

Meringue Mirage--a last year's plant, but first time for me to see the bloom, and it is so beautiful, I could hardly believe it--looked like a big pouf of petals, wonderful!!

Princeton Point Lace-one petal is not quite right, but this will be better as it goes along.

Now for today's flowers:

Orange Velvet--improves each year

Light Of Heaven--a new bonus with a new fan and scape which produced this bloom--impressive growth

Sunday Gloves--another one I love--notice the black anthers--I don't know how many DLS have black anthers, but they easily show up on this one.

Jolyene Nicole--another of those bargain unnamed DLS I bought several years ago. I am sure now that this is JN for all the stats seem to match up

Rambunctious Rosie: brand new and first bloom--couldn't be missed because of the size and color--a knockout flower!!

Amethyst Crown--lovely flower. This one was not blooming for a few years, and we suspect it had sunk because of moles running underneath it. My husband raised it this year, and guess what--now there are blooms.

These are the newest, but I plan to do a clump shot post again real soon, for I have several that are nice. Here's a preview:

Destined To See Clump: I believe there are eleven flowers blooming, really pretty. Avedon

    The Destined to See clump is magnificent! How wonderful to
    see 11 blooms on it a once. That's one of my favorites here. I noticed my DTS actually has some side branching on it this year. It must finally like where I have it planted. I grew it in a pot for many years, and it never had many buds growing that way. Your seedling is a really pretty lavender purple, and I like the watermark. Rambunctious Rosie looks like she would be an a!ttention-getter with her color and size! Sunday Gloves looks especially pretty with the waterdrops and the black anthers.

    Love that fabulous clump of Destines to See. Beautiful. And Rambunctious Rosie is my kind of flower. Love the color, the apparent size, and the name. That's my pick.

    Beautiful color on Turkish Turban, my favorite though is Rambunctious Rosie. I don't think I've seen that one before. Your DTS clump is lovely, one of my favorite daylilies.

    lovely double creamy pink seedling! I like the way the petals look a bit crinkly... so cool :)

    All are great but you know I am partial to Rambunctious Rosie. Can't wait to see mine bloom again. Nice big flowers on that one.

    Looking over these again, I m struck by how pretty your nameless seedling is. The color seems similar, but I actually prefer it's soft beauty to Turkish turban. I like the slightly darker edge on the sepals too
