Daylily Low Season- Only the Tough Bloom On
Not a great day for daylilies- rain early morning pretty much turned Happy Returns into tissue paper (above), but since it was our first rain over .1 inch in a month, I'm not complaining. Topguns Gold Mine doubled (upper left), but I knocked the blossom off trying to clean up the foliage before shooting.
Today's crop: Topguns Gold Mine, Fox Ears, Children of Malawi, Happy Returns (middle left), Big Time Happy, Little Wine Cup, and Harwood Seedling HS40 (from Cynthia Lord Ruddy).
Richard & Shirley Stout brought two blossoms to the DVDS Summer Sale yesterday: Strawberry Candy and one of it's children, Don Herr's 2002 'Trish Herr'. (It's Ida's Magic x Strawberry Candy). See pic at http://www.donherrdaylilies.com/galleries/all_intros.htm
What's blooming for you? Email me or bring your list to the GSDG Picnic & Member Auction September 10 at Staba's.
