Finally, some pics

Post by JaneG »

Well, it's been a rainy spring and summer here . . . the daylilies would prefer a little more sunshine, but despite the rain they are blooming for me! Today it wasn't raining so I went out and took some pictures. Didn't get around to it til late afternoon, so the flowers are looking a little 'old'.

Tommy - Another pretty yellow, this one is loaded with small yellow blooms and has just gotten started, so will be going for a while yet.  Thanks LucyGoose (trade '07)

And one more . . .
Parchment, IN - an unregistered Fred Smith daylily from Hornbakers (he names his unregistered daylilies after small towns).   This one is a lovely light-to-medium yellow with very recurved petals which makes the blooms look like puff-balls.   It it a prolific bloomer and grows quickly.

Hey Jane - is Special Angel the ones that smells just heavenly? I remember I sent you one that I bought at the nursery because the scent of it drew me across 3 rows of DLs until I found it.....

Hi Alexa! Special Angel is lightly scented. You also sent "Big Yellow NOID" (that's how I labeled it), which is the one you said that drew you in by the awesome smell and big bloom. It's planted next to Special Angel and is also blooming now . . . and smelling wonderful! :D

PS - 3 open blooms on Fooled Me today!! :wink:

strange how the colors can change from year to year.

Big Smile is one of my most years favorites, it bloom and bloom with huge flowers ... in a soft white, yellow note... then this year it have a pink note..and if I didn't know it would be this year only.. it had to leave the garden.
