wow what a great clump. nice job.

Sarah, it's really funny but I don't think anyone has ever posted a photo of Sc Sonata other than me. If they did, I missed it. It make pretty kids! Tangerine Horses is looking good!

Spacecoast Sonata is a pretty one.

Very nice, especially Spacecoast Sonata.

You seem to have several plants of Sp. Purple Surprise (must have recently divided it). I notice there is not much branching, but they are young plants. Does it rebloom for you?

Hi Sarah,
Very nice flowers!
You mentioned that you get thrips every year. I found a great thing to use for thrips. "Murphy's Oil" just put a tablespoon of it per gallon of water. You can spray right into the flowers with it. In about 15 minutes you will see the little thrips squirming and dying to get off the flowers. I have used this for years and it actually makes the flower color stand out a little more. Worth a try.

Spacecoast Purple Surprise is a pretty one. Too bad the thrips love it so much. Most of the blooms look great, only a couple look like bugs were partying in them.

Debra

terrible that the thrips get that one each year , as it sure is a pretty one.Them thrips love the purples and red daylilys.or maybe you can just see the damage better on them. still got some pretty ones.

Thrips or no thrips I still think SP Purple Surprise is gorgeous.

Thanks for all the kind remarks. When I first got Spacecoast Surprise Purple (Correct Name) I received about 5 plants. I put them in the same bed, and you can imagine, they took over that bed after about 2 seasons. I dug some out last fall and put in this new bed. I will try your remedy Mike for the thrips. They really do a number on Making Whoopee, which bloomed today. My favorite colors are pink, peach. white, and yellow. I'm not as crazy about the purples and reds. I don't remember if SC Surprise Purple reblooms or not. Sarah

Pretty flowers, Sarah. I especially like SC Sonata.
