Daylily Rebloom August 25 & 26
This is August 26th rebloom, Scatterbrain and Tuscawilla Tigress (top left), bottom left Little Wine Cup, Party Pinafore, and Children of Malawi. The bottom left yellow is Happy Returns, the other 4 are all Big Time Happy. BTH, besides being bigger, has a neat light green throat.
This is Black Eyed Stella, which does NOT have a black eye, (I prefer the euphamism "Blah Eyed Stella") but it started reblooming today.
This is the famous (or infamous) Stella De Oro which also has started reblooming, and will continue till frost. I keep one clump to compare bloom times to other cultivars. I prefer the lighter color of Happy Returns
, but it's still the standard.
And now for something completely different! This year I added this Metasequoia 'Gold Rush' (Golden Dawn Redwood). It's fast growing, a standout color, and it's a deciduous conifer- it loses its leaves in the winter. So it's ideal for shading the house in summer, but allowing the sun to heat the house in the winter.
August 25's crop was Tuscawilla Tigress, Happy Returns, Elfin Stella, Apricot Sparkles, (2nd Row) Rincon Del Mar, Comanche Maiden, (3rd Row) Panic Button, Children of Malawi (it bleaches some in hot sun), and Little Wine Cup.
