Blooms for Thursday

10 years ago

Posting late.. I did a major weeding today, and didn't feel as tired after that.. That's because we are having some very good weather, not hot at all and low humidity! Great for working in the yard (except for bugs..).
Also, I just returned from liveheading. Daylilies looking good! Yes some dark ones faded, but light ones and even some dark ones were looking very good in comparison with how they usually look. So I guess humidity is the culprit. They usually look just awful, all of them.

Anyway, ten from today:

Russian Easter, FFO - quite tall this year, same height as Beautiful Edgings, 40-43"

Chris Salter, a 2-bud wonder :D

NOID - FFO

and another NOID next to it, one of FFO; this one is very tall, to my chest; looked as good as new after 8pm - a miracle :)

FFO on Yellow Titan - I was as excited today as last year when I first saw this huge bloom

It has 5 scapes with 23 25 25 and 13 buds

Katrina Heroes - FFO; another with 3 buds or so :s
This one was sick last year and didn't bloom

Golden Tear Drops - FFO

Tahitian Waterfall - FFO

Neal Berrey - FFO

Linda's Magic - was one of the tree casualties last year and didn't bloom; I forgot how big the flower is

The weather may be nice here but we really need rain. Some of my daylilies unfortunately are dropping buds. And, though we are not in drought yet, one daylily is showing exactly the same signs as those that rotted last year. It's half gone already. I hope this thing won't turn into some kind of 'northern rust' thing.

Thanks for looking!

I still love Neal Berrey with its beautiful ruffling. You'll have to keep us posted on Tahitian Waterfall and let us know whether it thrives for you. (I didn't have good luck with that one, but it's a gorgeous flower.) Those noids are looking good!

Thanks Jean, Chris, Debra!

I just realized how similar Neal B. and Tah.Waterfall look :) TW doesn't thrive thrive but at least it is not having very low BC like Neal or some others. I usually count flowers, so it had 31 flower the first year it bloomed, and last year it was sick and had 21. I will observe the scapes sturdiness this year. I thought about getting Flamingo Parade, hoping it will be of similar color but tet, but who knows how that is going to do here.

Love the color of Tahitian Waterfall, and Neal Berry is also one of my favorites. I like Katrina Heroes too. It's a shame about the low bud count. It looks like it might really develop into something with another scape or two.....Maryl

Your NOID looks very much like Earth Music. While fairly tall, it doesn't go to one's chest--unless one is quite short. Here, it starts blooming early mid-season. Russian Easter is always tall here. I agree that Tahitian Waterfall is lovely; I just don't like the leaning scapes.

You've got a nice group today. Linda's Magic has some nice ruffling on the edges.
Tahitian Waterfall has always been on my list but I've heard it has low budcount.
Hope you get some rain.

Thanks everybody!
Mantis, thanks for suggestion, I'll google Earth Music. The daylily is tall, 47" Let's say almost to chest level ;)
Julia and Linda, thanks for rain wishes. Linda, I need to learn that dance!
I also counted buds on Tahitian Waterfall: 4 scapes with 10 6 3 and 10 buds. Not a lot but not the worst either.
