Daylily "Hemerocallis 2013 S W S

I really like this one. It reminds me of the work by J. Joiner
(see www.joinerdaylilygardens.com ), but he did it in doubles.

 

Beautiful Spruce and look at all those buds!!!!!!!!

 

At last blooms, this is Dixie Highway, new plant this year & still in pot. Second 1 is Spacecoast early bird

 

Nice to see your daylilies starting too JazzSi love Spacecoast Early Bird.
Here's a couple of mine from yesterday and yes the flippin gall midged buds on the first one have been exterminated since this picture was taken.
'Green Mystique'

A new one last year (thanks Pollie love it ), not a perfect flower but couldn't wait as the day went on this one looked even better petals started to pinch and curl, lovely colouring described as polychrome orange, ufo crispate with 7inch flowers.
'All American Windmill'

 

Simbad

My goodnessSo many at once, you'd think summer had arrived
I see that most are very large, a direction I am slowly moving towards (today's main pollen provider was Buster Ruster).

 

Since I am a huge fan of doubles, here is a DIP type:

Burgess Dragonfly x Lacy Doily. 5" across
I do have failures, and here is one:

This is suffering from "hangup". Every bloom stays like this because the ruffling interlocks and it cann't open. So it is going to the compost heap.
I do have a late DIP:

Laura Harwood. 7" across
Then there is It's A Miracle:

By Joiner, 2000, 5" across. But a very toothy gold edge.

 

Its a miracle is gorgeous Wylie, a couple more opened today a new one from last year flowering for the first time
'Lacy Doily', I'm starting to really like the doubles to Wylie only thing here is they often take a couple of days to open fully and if we have rain they can be spoiled, but no rain for several days now
'Mata Hari'

 

It's A Miracle wasn't my best one today - 2 blooms on Gilded By Grace was, which I pollenated with Amethyst Reflections x Unk. I like Lacy Doily, and I am currently making a list of what I started this year by cross to location. I see I have already listed 8 seedlings of an Unknown x Lacy Doily. The Unknown is a fuchsia pink with green throat that I hope to make a double by using Lacy Doily - they are all strong and should flower next year.

 

Blooms here today are Eenie Weenie, Frosted Vintage Ruffles & Mary Ethel Anderson.

 

Spruce look tomorrow's going to be 'Pink Enchilada' day

 

Going looking soon , looks great

Greetings from Mutant Island - again It may be Pink Enchilada Day, but today's mutant is Sybil's Blues x Rainbows In Heaven:
The Mildred Mitchell look-alike went poly for today.
Trying to give Pink E. some competition is Lois Burns:

I got this from Pollie at the beginning of May, and here is its first flower which I promptly crossed to Buster Ruster
