Awesome Bob FFO, Gilded Pagoda clump, and one more

Post by bengal »

My first flower on the awesome AWESOME BOB. Alas, it's been raining today, and Bob's been very unhappy. Poor guy got soaked. :lol:

I had to show GILDED PAGODA again. This top-branched daylily comes into its own when in clump strength I think.

And then there's CULTURE SHOCK, a little guy by Piotrowski. Another one I have difficulty photographing. The color is an "orange yellow blend" with a yellow throat. Other stats: a diploid, 3.5" bloom on a 3'-tall scape. Definitely not everyone's cup of tea, but I love the little guys on the tall scapes. And you just can't have too much orange.

OMG :o I am insanely jealous! Awesome Bob is one that I drooled over this past winter and bought a pile of seeds to start from.... of course, I am even more sad that I can't come over and pinch a little pollen to start my own crosses... but I don't have any blooms left :cry:

I went out and doused the few late bloomers that still have tiny scapes with Deer Off... in the rain, I don't know if it will do any good, but I didn;t really have any choice :(

Congrats on an awesome flower!

SE -- a "sev"? No, it's listed as a dormant. From what I understand, AWESOME BOB is a very slow grower, hence the high price. I bought AB and a rather large bunch of other daylilies from Woodside Nursery during one of two trips at the end of April/beginning of May, and AB is the only one not to have put out even an inkling of another fan.
