Over 4% of MY Daylilies Bloomed Today
Over 4% of my daylily cultivars bloomed today, so I think we're moving from early to early-mid season about now. This is Pauline Henry's Siloam Kewpie Doll, registered as 18EM3 25 years ago, and it's (personal opinion) as good as some major hybridizers are coming up with today.
Major first bloom today- Malachite Prism (Doorakian 99). It's a bit tender in Zone 6 but I've gotten it through 3 Philadelphia winters with heavy mulching. Love that eye!
Ralph Maiwaldt is a member of both New Jersey and Philadelphia area daylily AND hosta clubs, and his hostas
are beautiful! This is Liberty.This is Ralph's Paradise Power. It takes a few years and the right siting and care to get a hosta looking this good.
Afternoon Delight is one I don't have and would get if it would look this good in my yard.
