Wednesday's Wonders...Really!

Two days in a row, I discover a plant had put up a rebloom scape without my noticing it, and said plant was blooming! Here is the one I found today. Fashion Police. (bought on the auction, and I agree with Debra's earlier comment... It doesn't look exactly like it: I think it's actually prettier than FP, but what is it?.)

Moonlit Masquerade FFO - thanks, Celeste.

First Re-bloom on Mom's Cinnamon Rolls:

First RE-bloom on Cosmic Traveler:

Red Slippers just keeps blooming and is a delight:

And Indian Ripple has a beautiful trio of blooms:

Romanian Rondezvous has been re-blooming a few days:

and Philistine Champion is a champion: (owe Rita BIG)

Alabama Jubilee put up another re-bloom scape:

As late in my season as it is, I had 43 plants blooming today. I have two more that have buds that are new to me. This rebloom has had prettier blooms than the regular season, and I'm up to 74.

    Amazing stuff you're getting out of your garden this year, Kay. Fashion Police is a knockout, especially considering it was a surprise bloom. Cosmic Traveler and Red Slippers are also beautiful.

    These are nice, Kay. It's so annoying to have one not be right, but yours is pretty, whatever it is.

    I think you got the color of Cosmic Traveler very nice. I struggle to capture it accurately. Hope it reblooms for me.

    But, today, I am liking reds and Red Slippers looks terrific.

    (Chris and I agree because, you know, she does have excellent taste, lol.)

    Your plant is Baja California, pricier than Fashion Police. But I find it ridiculous that a seller would make that kind of mistake.

    Some very nice rebloom!

    It's so nice that you can experience all these reblooms. We won't see that in the north. Fashion Police is a flashy daylily. Love the name.

    Love your "Fashion Police" imposter! Absolutely beautiful! Also love the large color contrast on Moonlight Masquerade! Indian Ripples is also pretty...I received it as a bonus plant with an order this year....excited about it now!

    Your Fashion Police is looking a lot like my Baja California today. I love Red Slippers and Indian Ripple.

    BAJA CALIFORNIA

    That maybe FP or BC is very pretty! They all are today. Love the look of Mom's Cinnamon Rolls. Indian Ripple looks so nice. And Cosmic Traveler is a beautiful flower too.

    The first one which sure looks like Baja California and is way prettier than Fashion Police is lovely. I always like Philistine Champion and Indian Ripple. Don't know why I've never gotten either one. As soon as I find some room that will have to change.

    Fantastic rebloom, wish all of them would do that. My WB Mom's Cinnamon Rolls also has a rebloom scape, Yay!!! So that is one favorite, and the rest are Red Slippers, Indian Ripples, Philistine Champion and Alabama Jubilee. Avedon

    Thanks Chris. This was in a section of my garden that I thought was about through blooming, and I had not been checking it. Today, I also noticed that Parrot Jungle has put up another re-bloom scape. It must be the extra rain that has them blooming in overdrive even though the season started a bit late.
    Thank you Jean, I am glad you are getting a lot of re-bloom too.
    Gonegardening, Cosmic Traveler can be a tough one to capture. I always love the reds.
    Mantis, I think you may be right. It was good luck for me, since I like it better than Fashion Police.
    Thanks Hostabuff, It has been a good year.
    Tammy, I think you will love Indian Riipple, it is a showy plant.
    Edward, Red Slippers has been a blooming machine, and the blooms open very nicely.
    Debra, Mantis suggested that it was Baja California, and it does look very like your. You are liking the hot ones today, Thank you.

    Wow, My son called me while I was in the midst of answering the comments, and you guys, Nat4b, Val, and Avedon commented before I was back on, so my post was out of order.
    Nat4b, you are liking some really pretty ones today...in other words I like them too:)
    Val, it does look like BC, and I agree, BC is prettier than FP, so that is good.
    Avedon, Mom's Cinnamon Rolls usually re-blooms for me. It is a good plant. And you like the hot ones today too. I always tend to like the bright or hot ones...but sometimes the delicate ones get to me.
    Thank you all for looking and commenting.

    Kay - Your Not Fasion Police could also be Spanish Fiesta, the Trfimmer that is the parent of Baja. It's a bit smaller but looks very similar and has lower bud count than Baja. Take a look at the photos ont the All Things Plants database.I think that kind of mixup is very probable.

    I have Spanish Fiesta, and it has similarities, but the bloom time is different and the color is a bit different...although the throat is very similar. Here is a photo of Spanish Fiesta.

    I don't know.

    Very nice group of blooms... Indian Ripple is my favorite though.

    Nice group Kay. Hope you find out what you do have since it is a beauty. The seller can't identify for you? There are now so many daylilies that look like another one that my mind begins to spin. ;-).
    I have to agree on Indian Ripple. Beautiful color combination on it. Cosmic Traveler is a looker for sure but Philistine Champion is just a blooming machine for you.

    Indian Ripples and Red Slippers are both quite the show offs, I love them both.

    My favorite is Red Slippers. I'm going to add it to my 'must have' list. I've always admired Moonlit Masquerade and don't know why it isn't in my garden yet. Indian Ripple is a real stand out. Marg

    Oh my that fake Fashion Police is a stunner and my favorite. But favorites also include Red Slippers and Indian Ripple.
