Fridays Fairest or Funniest

10 years ago

Today, I am not going to post a lot of clump pics. Since other people posting a lot of blooms now, so I will limit mine somewhat today.

Black Fathom Depths on Re-bloom: Everyone knows I love this one:

Clown Parade on Re-bloom with the first ever poly bloom I've had on it: It actually looked pretty good.

For Mantis: Forsyth's Garrett Mason:

Lucky Stripes had four blooms today:

And a lovely one I haven't posted, Noah Weston:

and for Jean, El Desperado:

A fused bloom on Purple Honey Creeper:

I'm sure it would be unlucky for me to post without a true red one, since I love the reds so much, so here is Bear Claws:

And yes, I had a lot of clumps again today, but no need beating you over the head with them...you've seen them already. It's not short, but it's shorter than my usual posts. Hope you enjoy this one:

I was going to pick Lucky Streak as my favorite until I saw the magnificent El Desperado clump. Now I've got to go with it. A dozen attractive blooms beats four in my brain.

Googling Noah Weston produces nothing. Tell us about it.

Gorgeous blooms as usual. My favorite is Black Fathom Depths. That is SUCH a beautiful daylily.

Thanks Debra. As always, that daylily blooms as if it were on steroids. The blooms are always perfect.

Jean, I posted El Desperado just for your benefit since you asked for it.

Mantis I bought Noah Weston from Marietta Daylilies in September 2008. Although it doesn't say on the sales ticket, I am pretty sure it was one of the Shooter's intros. It is, as it appears to be, a soft delicate white with delicate pink edges. Every bloom is perfect. It is an early morning opener. 26" tall but with a modest number (12 to 14). of 6.5 to 7" blooms. I suspect it is another (Pink Gingham was one) the Shooters just discontinued. It has much thinner substance than Garrett Mason, but lovely color.

Rita, you know I love BFD, and this is the first time it has re-bloomed for me to my delight.

Thank you all for looking and commenting.

Nope! Hands down Bear Claw for me. It's simply glowing in your picture. Hope you post some yellow clumps to make me drool (yellow is my favorite daylily color).......Maryl

Black Fathom Depths is really pretty, I see why you like it so. Lucky Stripes is quite pretty, I have a seedling that looks quite a bit like it, unfortunately blooms are quite short. Hoping it will do better next year. El Desperado looks really good, mine had its first bloom today. A great, dependable daylily.

Kay and Mantis - I think that lovely pink daylily may be NOEL WESTON, an intro by John Shooter.

Purple Honey Creeper is fabulous - looks like some of the crested ones so many are showing at the Facebook hybridizer forum. Love the mixture of colors. It looks like a painting.

I'm really enjoying this show. Always know there will be a bunch of beauties--every one has something I like. Guess the El Desperado clump will take top honors, but boy!! It's so hard to choose one over the rest. Avedon

What more could you ask for in Black Fathom Depths, my favorite colors and I love smalls.
