Simbad

Meant to be unlucky I dont think so ,


I will be around to measure it just in case anyone doubts on here

Spruce

 

I'll go bolt it down then Spruce
I have another family member with 3 flowers starting to open this morning, Watchyl Digital Scream, 14inch flowers!!!!! on that one the buds are ginormous(if thats a word ), it did have a couple of flowers open the other day but the wind ruined them , they were lovely the petals twisted and curled, so watch this space later

 

You are such a tease

I will have a nose around mine and see what I have "Planet Max" the buds just wont open hopfully today or tommorow with the SUNSHINE yes I didnt think I would be using that word !!

Spruce

 

Well I think I've made you wait long enough Spruce , lots of new ones opened yesterday but I'll leave the huge one till last
'Brown Witch'

'Dragon Dreams'

'Final Touch'

'Knave'

'Mabel Nolen'

'Pink Charm' this is a really old variety but gorgeous nearly 5ft tall this year and sooo many scapes, I love the star shape to the petals.

 

Unknown meant to be 'Martina Verhaert', lovely colour whatever it is.

Unknown sent to me by a friend on another chat site

And finally that 14incher 'Watchyl Digital Scream', had to put 2 pictures on its so lovely

 

I nearly " Screamed " when I saw the size of that flower . Now thats what I call a good tease

Ps I dont think planet max is going to open hopfully the other smaller buds will

Spruce

 

There seem to be so many suffering this year Spruce, I've got them with tiny buds trying to open or the buds just going brown and dropping off, one of my favourites Lips of Fire has been covered in flowers but they're all distorted and blotchy, Edge of Darkness was the same, maybe now the weathers a bit better we'll get some better flowers, never known a year like it.
Glad you liked the monster daylily , I also have 'Watchyl Lavender Blue' which has been covered in huge flowers but they've not been opening properly, still lots of buds so hoping for better flowers very soon.

 

Gorgeous as usual, Simbad.

 

Thankyou Penny glad you like them
I was so excited yesterday, I have half an allotment that I got to grow on my seedlings and I went down for the first time in weeks because we actually had some sunshine , only 2 seedlings survived from first attempt 2 years ago, the cold winter we had killed all the rest , and one of the two had flowers!!!!! fabulous burgundy colour with really large spidery flowers that were all curly at the ends, of course I didn't have my camera but lots more buds, I'm even more excited now about all this years seedlings but they'll be safely tucked up in the greenhouse this winter, I'll plant out next spring.

 

Where does everyone get there daylilys from?
Thinking of planting some in a new border in the autumn?

At last a perfect daylily day they've all opened fully today and no damage from rain for a change, here are just a few new openers
'Arctic Snow' more peach than white this year

'Blue Sheen'

'Edge Ahead'

'Nierderhien Parade' trying to be a double

'Steely Blue Eyes' I love this one

And last but not least my first seedling flowering!!!! this is a cross of 'Star of Fantasy' X 'Iktomi', I grew loads from seed a couple of years ago but lost all but 2 to the cold winter , its 4ft tall and would say the flowers are around 9inch across hard to measure as they're all curly, love it, its actually even darker than the picture shows.

 

Just gorgeous

 

'Grandma Kissed Me' thanks Pollie I love this one

'Highland Giant'

'Malaysian Monarch'

'Miss Jessie'

'Night Beacon'
