Thursday blooms, seedlings and garden pics

9 years ago

Making it short today as we have thunderstorms rolling through and giving us a lot of rain but rain is a good thing and it is definitely cooling us down.

ROCKS CRY OUT - second season but I love this bloom.Tall but I don't see a lot of buds but I'll take what I can get on this one.

INTELLIGENT DESIGN - I think this is from a leftover scape since it is much lower than all the others that came up.

NO MORE TEARS - not many scapes and buds this year but I do notice it is doing a bitone thing. Heat?

PAPER BUTTERFLY - I plan to take this one out this year. Not a bad daylily, I just think it can be finicky.

LIGHT OPERA - I love this tiny flower and it increases nice. I have two clumps of it so one will go. Making room is always a hard choice. The color is a pinkish tone.

ANGELS IN WAITING - small flower but always has nice blooms and increases too fast. I have to divide this one this year.

AZTEC HEADDRESS - always a favorite and I've got another clump so one will go this year too.

MOTH TO A FLAME - different coloration from my typical choices but it works. Tall scapes and perfect openings. Gotta have some variety....right?

SOMETHING MARVELOUS - I hate to part with this one but I need to clear out a section of the bed so it goes this year.

Moving on to the seedlings blooming:
HPB X RFK - both are from the same cross.

PPS X KI - both from the same cross if I read the name plates correctly

G&G X CM

Now on to garden pics. When I find my other lens I'll do more full bed pics. The telephoto I have on it now makes everything seem closer than it really is.

Time to get off the computer.

Love the garden pics and the clematis! So pretty!

Rocks Cry Out is such a great name for that one. It's stunning. I also really like the dark seedling.

Such great photos, love all those garden pictures! Your clematis are beautiful. Of the daylilies, I like Aztec Headdress the best, it's on my list. Oh, and very nice seedlings! I love the first one.

That's a particularly attractive shot of Aztec Headdress. It's a favorite here too! Of your seedlings, the first and last are my favorites.

I'd take Rocks Cry Out, too. What a great color combination.

I also love your first seedling. Stats, or is it too soon?

Thanks all for the comments. Storms have passed so it is safe to be back on the pc. We dropped 15 degrees and can I say it is so nice to be back to cool temps.

Chris: The seedling is from 2011. I haven't measured it this year and I think the budcount is down from prior years. I must have 7 or 8 seedlings with this cross...perhaps more in that bed. I'm putting a marker on all the scapes this year to know which ones I'll keep and just take out the rest. RFK kids do throw that green throat so nicely.

Have a great 4th of July everyone.

And what's the name of the light blue clematis? Your Rocks Cry Out has great color. The color does lighten in warmer weather, doesn't it? Moth to a Flame is interesting.

Rocks Cry Out is amazing. And the supports that you have for your clematis are wonderful, allowing the plants to be viewed from both sides.

I really like Rocks Cry Out too. I have two clumps in different places and I'm keeping both. Mantis is right, edges especially lighten in heat, but the center stays dark. Fun to have a lot of blooms. Your clematis is gorgeous. all the plants look so nice. I particularly like your first and last seedlings.

Love all the daylilies and really enjoy seeing the rest of your garden too. The Clematis is great. I always seem to struggle with it. Have a few vines growing in the garden and they have been so slow - like after three years they still look like I just planted them....someday.
