Just got it this spring, from Kelly herself, who is further North than here in Pittsburgh. So why is an EM blooming so early?

When I find my seedling database, I'll probably discover it's a self-pollinated carbon copy of its pod parent, which happens a lot to me. In Philadelphia the mornings are so humid I didn't have viable dry pollen until midmorning. Last year (my 2nd year of pollen dabbing) I started saving dry pollen for the next morning, but I haven't started putting chastity belts on my girls (yet), as I've heard some do.<br />

I didn't move this because I have no use for it in hybridizing, and every clump moved has a real cost in time and other resources to move and re-establish. So the next owner of the Philly house gets this one. Stella was blooming elsewhere in the neighborhood, but I gave away all mine and my Happy Returns long ago.<br />

Today I got cages over most of the emerging hostas and daylilies that aren't behind my temp deerfence. I'm way behind schedule on getting a permanent deer fence. Cages are wire cloth or wastebaskets / laundry baskets from the dollar store.<br />

I had another cultivar, "Spotty Dotty" but I think a rabbit ate it. <br />

I had about a dozen in a single 4x6 foot patch in Philadelphia, but I think I pulled the wrong tag when I transplanted this to Pittsburgh.

Bloomed after Thanksgiving, then this side rebloomed in early March, on the side that was facing the window. I turned it 180 degrees so I could enjoy the color, and now (early April) the OTHER side is reblooming. So rebloom must be dependent on getting plenty of sunlight.<br />

No matter what the package says, the serving size of Easter Egg Peanut Butter M&M's is ONE BAG!! Orders of magnitude better than Reeses- the peanut butter is premixed with the chocolate, sinfully delicious! And the Easter eggs are better than the standard peanut butter M&M's I think because they're bigger, so there's more melty goodness per piece. Don't buy any unless you're at least 10 pounds below your goal weight.<br />

And it's snowing again. But if you've got daylilies, get out into your garden as soon as the snow melts and look for this dangerous condition. When the ground is still frozen and drainage is bad, water can pond around plants. This might rot the crown if the water sits in contact too long. Once the ground thaws, the drainage improves and you won't know why all those plants just didn't come up in the spring. <br />

Speaker this winter (at left) was Mike Shadrack, who just released a NEW book- "The Book of Little Hostas" with his wife and Diana Grenfell. It covers extensively the special conditions the mini hosta requires, and I'll bet it saves the (less than $20 at Amazon) cost when it keeps you from killing just ONE mini hosta.<br />

But if I do it again, I'll twist tie the deer netting to the clothesline along the top; the clothes pins don't hold in high wind. The bottom 3 feet is rabbit fence to keep the smaller critters out, but it also reinforces the net at the bottom from deer nosing under.<br />

By the way, my fellow stippled and striped daylily lovers should check out a new site by Loretta Zink, of Winchester, Ohio (central south Ohio). <a href="http://www.loborose.com/">http://www.loborose.com/</a> shows photos of many of her 50+ stipples and 7 stripes plus seedlings, with one new stripe, Plum Stripe, already introduced. She's the only person I know that has Shattered, a 2006 Gayle Story stripe sold only one year before the originator stock was almost wiped out by flood then voles. I have 16 stipples and 3 stripes, so I'm a small fish in the stipplestripe pond. But my wife gave me "stipplestripe cash" for Christmas.hemehostaholichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04111889367172152941noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12227816.post-78633105135076623842010-12-05T09:57:00.000-08:002010-12-05T09:57:33.255-08:00Daylilies Under their Winter Blanket in Pittsburgh<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigtzrqg9_2Gq790EiNl5w-WswIWdJuM9xRssD3vOJvDl5ChLf4_IvaJU9dQz9czacx2Rh2V8o1ST5gsG3gVvvuMlEbY9IVKH3bD_nYfReQuPoxlMonLhpn_7LDpbuAVh5NXYhPFA/s1600/101205+016.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" ox="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigtzrqg9_2Gq790EiNl5w-WswIWdJuM9xRssD3vOJvDl5ChLf4_IvaJU9dQz9czacx2Rh2V8o1ST5gsG3gVvvuMlEbY9IVKH3bD_nYfReQuPoxlMonLhpn_7LDpbuAVh5NXYhPFA/s320/101205+016.JPG" width="320" /></a></div> I got about 2/3 of my thousand or so daylilies transplanted from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh before the freezing weather, and about half (100 or so) of my hostas. If the old house isn't sold by May, I'll get a few more. But the pool garden is essentially filled, as are the easy places to plant hostas. The deer fence you see has only been broken down once so far, protecting the evergreen daylilies from the giant rats' browsing. The deer actually did more damage trampling things with their cloven hooves than eating them. The first line of defense was covering them with $1 wire wastebaskets and launtry baskets from the Dollar Store (you can see some still in place). Cheap temp fence is 4 foot welded wire to give strength, topped with netting to 7 feet, held up with clothespins on clothesline. Gotta get a good "field fence" before spring, but this works for now.<br />

She's recovering slower than the car, which was patched together by early November. It delayed everything, but I got all my favorites. Furniture didn't get moved though, so we're still living like campers, with two card tables in the dining room, and the patio set furnishing the living room.

So not only the daylilies will get "mudded in" this time. Will I get 200 more transferred by the end of October? Stay tuned. Even that leaves 40% of my collection back in Philadelphia, but every one costs time and money: each trip with 60 - 80 daylilies costs about $150 in gas and tolls alone. I missed a PIDS (Pittsburgh Iris & Daylily Society) meeting this weekend to dig those 60 daylilies in 89 degree heat Saturday, and 65 degree showers on Sunday. So every transplant has to meet the "Is it worth it" test.hemehostaholichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04111889367172152941noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12227816.post-9412965609588908002010-08-12T08:42:00.000-07:002010-08-12T09:23:22.134-07:00Moving to Pittsburgh- Progress Report<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmZzvi64Yf1gdAks35jTb0d660xgaasRRU2zyU6xj0hhRLbZUbyrsBZmss9v0pe1a0Eznt-gz1GxJFyS4N3A6c0Ccg0yc6SNtoGAitXTeFcpptcI-myp0lhybN_LSRiuIaQXryiQ/s1600/100728+011.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5504550984462053874" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmZzvi64Yf1gdAks35jTb0d660xgaasRRU2zyU6xj0hhRLbZUbyrsBZmss9v0pe1a0Eznt-gz1GxJFyS4N3A6c0Ccg0yc6SNtoGAitXTeFcpptcI-myp0lhybN_LSRiuIaQXryiQ/s400/100728+011.JPG" /></a> I apologize for the lack of posts , but I'm moving my daylily collection from the Philadelphia suburbs to Verona, PA, a northeast suburb of Pittsburgh.

I pull and pot the whole clump with whatever soil clings to the roots (not much in current drought), then top off the pot with sifted compost, which I add to the planting hole in Pittsburgh.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcCMGbyiQ80O59T9YacnHp0l68z9K0bJ8SeLrVzypXLpMqzL5OPKRiIYsj_dRGZfYMVIQsLk-iEKYnQw-QHNWCawuVyLbuCxpu1dZ57i02ZnNVhuVQxZlm-S6HSVLGy8gupf9icQ/s1600/100728+006.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5504550971235463586" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcCMGbyiQ80O59T9YacnHp0l68z9K0bJ8SeLrVzypXLpMqzL5OPKRiIYsj_dRGZfYMVIQsLk-iEKYnQw-QHNWCawuVyLbuCxpu1dZ57i02ZnNVhuVQxZlm-S6HSVLGy8gupf9icQ/s400/100728+006.JPG" /></a> The pool garden rototilled and ready for daylilies. A wise friend, Ralph Maiwaldt from Ringoes, NJ advised me to put my best as close to the house and water supply as possible. Sod cut from the beds is laid in the aisles, and will be covered with weedblock and chips from dead trees I'm having cleared. The big innovation is separating Dips and Tets to make hybridizing simpler. From this vantage point, it's Tets to the left, Dips right, meeting near the center of the pool.<br />So it's mid-August and I've moved less than 100 daylilies. Part of the delay was when we rototilled and found 100% clay only about 6 inches down. So we've added 10 yards of composted manure to the beds so far, and may add more to raise the beds a bit and improve tilth. Luckily, I have a paid helper in Pittsburgh who has done most of the heavy work.<br /><br /><div></div></div></div>hemehostaholichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04111889367172152941noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12227816.post-88360403092182103002010-07-04T10:38:00.000-07:002010-07-04T12:00:35.429-07:00Stars (Stipples) & Stripes for July 4<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi21061OIaneqXUoU7sPnL_Xm6W_7Ku1-2uf7k5Hs2TdQhKulkt_Ljk8souDtVAieR2aAjG3MzH6XnO81eU_NCcuzJ1rGDgFiPF8yKIpJ1ZU9DveR32r9yUEBErIxzGxC3Dofxn4w/s1600/100627+008.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490115076323013442" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi21061OIaneqXUoU7sPnL_Xm6W_7Ku1-2uf7k5Hs2TdQhKulkt_Ljk8souDtVAieR2aAjG3MzH6XnO81eU_NCcuzJ1rGDgFiPF8yKIpJ1ZU9DveR32r9yUEBErIxzGxC3Dofxn4w/s400/100627+008.JPG" /></a> I started last year to pimp my stipples and stripes, or for July 4, my STARS & STRIPES. My Prime Directive, which is the only thing that keeps me from making crosses 8 hours a day, is that I ONLY pollenate with Stippled or Striped Daylily pollen. My aim is BIGGER and BETTER stippled and striped daylilies. Above is a favorite Diploid Stipple, Gail Reese.

Less dramatic, but better plant habits. So I'm crossing this BACK to Pink Stripes to get both striped lines together. Check back in about 5 years. I expect from other "Stars & Stripes" breeders some pretty interesting stuff over the next few years to add to my collection.

I've got a theaory why this year the Earlys and midseasons are all blooming atthe same time: Dormants are blooming late and Evergreens are blooming early. Haven't got data to back this up yet, but some day I may have time to see if that's the case. We had a couple of early heat waves, and my theory says the Evergreens were able to take advantage and make buds, as if they were in Florida. But the dormants were still in the ground, so they didn't see the early energy. <br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaZr7Aa_YfimuKyO0N3EZ-omNP9tBPuxrFqwlqoKTaabGeg-99HtP3R8BawXiVZ304WWqvaPQsvd1FhILrP-lsQmY2BEc24sAygEnSe-5uTnGH5lyMxapJY78fJGSouQkaAIbf_A/s1600/100612+017.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482328572895130418" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaZr7Aa_YfimuKyO0N3EZ-omNP9tBPuxrFqwlqoKTaabGeg-99HtP3R8BawXiVZ304WWqvaPQsvd1FhILrP-lsQmY2BEc24sAygEnSe-5uTnGH5lyMxapJY78fJGSouQkaAIbf_A/s400/100612+017.JPG" /></a> New this year, Bite Me!

This won't get crossed, and it probably won't even get moved to the new house this summer.

I saw this in three DVDS Club members' gardens and it stopped me in my tracks every time. It's Raven Woodsong, a 2004 Ned Roberts intro 40M7 Diploid Sev. This came from Florida, so it's earlier this year; how can I cross this?<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipPMrCmpIRC-oPngGlBzFYDMnnSywKztaXxMTgd6wTcAupeM_Ols9J7iawwQHImrIS4L3cPJRar4f8Xn7e2svv24LSJvemfoSG3KFpLrx57PifI3a2Ja_sTqV8WuUdVZnubG_mMw/s1600/100609+080.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480972008157911842" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipPMrCmpIRC-oPngGlBzFYDMnnSywKztaXxMTgd6wTcAupeM_Ols9J7iawwQHImrIS4L3cPJRar4f8Xn7e2svv24LSJvemfoSG3KFpLrx57PifI3a2Ja_sTqV8WuUdVZnubG_mMw/s400/100609+080.JPG" /></a> First bloom today on Lunacy (Morss 03) 32EM6.5 Wouldn't this be a great cross with Raven Woodsong? Kid's name could be RAVEN LUNATIC! Unfortunately, this is a Tet, RL is a Dip. RATS! So I crossed it with Julie Newmar, another complex eye.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSlp0UqmjUf1eZbIVeu15PjTw1eF55yomLnPahXnZh2OKV0HY4RbckzNninrKMrRCB_FRLEh1B3rHTrwrBwSEKDE_-Um22Ovfd2CgZkBJ4dU7E8_6ZCpf90z62stYgJLq5Pujtuw/s1600/100609+032.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480971998964542050" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSlp0UqmjUf1eZbIVeu15PjTw1eF55yomLnPahXnZh2OKV0HY4RbckzNninrKMrRCB_FRLEh1B3rHTrwrBwSEKDE_-Um22Ovfd2CgZkBJ4dU7E8_6ZCpf90z62stYgJLq5Pujtuw/s400/100609+032.JPG" /></a>Got one bloom on Mark's Bouquet today, but rain was predicted for late AM, so I just harvested the 6 stamens and brought them indoors. It's a double, but this photo makes it look like a poly- 4 petals and 4 sepals. This one also has 4 pistils- that would be one weird looking seed pod if all 4 got pollinated.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ9UWZJ3RIS5XmAJO9HKEDm5-nyQMN16ggjVYJzvvhAtt0Hva9_tymNKd0IhyphenhyphenqiElV0Dg8iInmc-BFdnkVmtVUSoPDrkAOD1HY8ALDbPTDoiGqtVcFlU5TYqBR3V9uxUUosNmNvw/s1600/100609+068.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480971989103258194" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ9UWZJ3RIS5XmAJO9HKEDm5-nyQMN16ggjVYJzvvhAtt0Hva9_tymNKd0IhyphenhyphenqiElV0Dg8iInmc-BFdnkVmtVUSoPDrkAOD1HY8ALDbPTDoiGqtVcFlU5TYqBR3V9uxUUosNmNvw/s400/100609+068.JPG" /></a>If rain wasn't predicted, I would have crossed Mark's Bouquet with this Siloam Double Classic; see the pistil?<br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguG3H-ix9EjqqtoMbSSWQ5qECazPxdciwPSt7dgXaidZ36zam5v0tUvHIzVM4FqW_4ZIOoUuFVZPn5E8h6H1IO6-csT8cP39R2GZo2r7T_QU-fcoiS_rhVLTF5s6psi9hmZw8cnQ/s1600/100609+065.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480971979493007074" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguG3H-ix9EjqqtoMbSSWQ5qECazPxdciwPSt7dgXaidZ36zam5v0tUvHIzVM4FqW_4ZIOoUuFVZPn5E8h6H1IO6-csT8cP39R2GZo2r7T_QU-fcoiS_rhVLTF5s6psi9hmZw8cnQ/s400/100609+065.JPG" /></a> And I would have crossed Double Mandarin (Apps 95, 27EMRe4) with Mark's Bouquet if this had a pistil.

Above is the reason I like and will keep Merlot Rouge, besides that it's an early double (for me, registered Midseason). That's the light edge around especially the sepals, which gives the doubled parts (the "hose") a little extra character.<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKl_NqdBdJPDo5jugMpemuoVhgqBOUvw0WnoJ3fSuk1NV4ArWfK0emLWPtdwNgcyQZccJRkzg1425WVI4UTJ7rZOo1w8TmVMyKN0RzfpUDKs7kR7pDbdxsZgtOgk4oYJgu11Vqjg/s1600/100608+010.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480419046446761074" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKl_NqdBdJPDo5jugMpemuoVhgqBOUvw0WnoJ3fSuk1NV4ArWfK0emLWPtdwNgcyQZccJRkzg1425WVI4UTJ7rZOo1w8TmVMyKN0RzfpUDKs7kR7pDbdxsZgtOgk4oYJgu11Vqjg/s400/100608+010.JPG" /></a> Tooth yesterday wasn't a first bloom, so I COMPLETELY MISSED that this was a POLY!!!

Ten years ago Dan had a different definition of sharkstooth than we do today, and his job is to sell daylilies.

Talbott 92, 18EMRe5.5 double. Evr Dip. Registered as a "blend" because I don't think anybody had a consensus for a term to apply to daylilies with measles.

This will also be at the GSDG 2010 auction (see earlier post). Mike Huben 06, 26ERe4.5 is more yellow than some of his other intros, but it's a bud builder, which means a long season. Other budbuilders are Beautiful Edgings, Apps' Final Touch, and Iktomi. The last two are late bloomers. <br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhr0R-vyLC3zYZ-OhhBkcYZcDmfwl0BJeV1jdqc8YXXlLbe1-ST0sqedyNNyaL4afumVkaxuoM6o_XEBwb-VXNGyGuQbw140irBAsY3Q-rICUxJ8DKigqXTbDz2wo4HC_O50GAYYQ/s1600/100606+014.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5479763607439856722" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhr0R-vyLC3zYZ-OhhBkcYZcDmfwl0BJeV1jdqc8YXXlLbe1-ST0sqedyNNyaL4afumVkaxuoM6o_XEBwb-VXNGyGuQbw140irBAsY3Q-rICUxJ8DKigqXTbDz2wo4HC_O50GAYYQ/s400/100606+014.JPG" /></a> First Peace Out, Jim Murphy 07, 43E6 Dip. Today I got lucky; my double stipple Happy Hooligan had a pistil! But no pollen. BUT- my second double stipple, Mark's Bouquet, had 3 stamens (but no pistil)! So I got to cross the two. And had plenty of leftover DIP pollen for this one and the other Diploids below. It's a Sunday- did somebody pray for me?<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5e_g8nFQlDbpPIwlYEHSh9SzTQN7w6w2qbG8wiQkTnnnRHtZBpntdmmTq6Wi6mrmho0DV0pwXkUW3_gFu1h2ao8i3ZFrukvgAc3jHN4kbl7a2bCe_jsToAbb01-bs1zx8K5DMdw/s1600/100606+016.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5479763602566662546" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5e_g8nFQlDbpPIwlYEHSh9SzTQN7w6w2qbG8wiQkTnnnRHtZBpntdmmTq6Wi6mrmho0DV0pwXkUW3_gFu1h2ao8i3ZFrukvgAc3jHN4kbl7a2bCe_jsToAbb01-bs1zx8K5DMdw/s400/100606+016.JPG" /></a> First bloom on Dynamite Returns! This is Apps/Blew 07, and Lois-Anne Burek talked me into splitting one with her, because I had ALL the other "Returns" series. It's Romantic Returns by Red Hot Returns, and since I had both, why did I need another red? It has grown on me; better rebloom and the color reminds me of satin sheets. I still owe LAB her half, because I tried to split the 4 fans in the ground, to minimize shock to "my half". And I totally severed two offshoots, with no roots attached. From now on every clump comes out of the ground for dividing.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkx5w8Ze_yaJ2iFU6B9iA2K_68rZ3K8isvWvXnFbPoymBzC0WQ-BfvwmyF8U41cE9q0u-RftsXiJuLuL0m4R-UbqY2HIDvAoSM1HXIljLiTtx8K-pDrRVhodx2byQzq0MiVBb7vQ/s1600/100606+029.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5479763592642748178" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkx5w8Ze_yaJ2iFU6B9iA2K_68rZ3K8isvWvXnFbPoymBzC0WQ-BfvwmyF8U41cE9q0u-RftsXiJuLuL0m4R-UbqY2HIDvAoSM1HXIljLiTtx8K-pDrRVhodx2byQzq0MiVBb7vQ/s400/100606+029.JPG" /></a> First bloom today for Megan Skinner's 1999 intro, Extended Twilight. Yes, it got pollinated with Mark's Bouquet. Imagine this spotted! Claim to fame is 26-hour bloom (technically nocturnal extended bloom). Only downside is if it rains overnight. And if you deadhead at night, you've got to remember not to do the new blooms. But it's almost like having twice as many blooms, because the new blooms open in the evening before the day-old blooms close up!<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihFD00C21WsZC_RGR5u_wrm3XR8QwL6g7Uu2gnM4E_aAHbQcH9atkHfKUlPH1AMIABnlqohKrtUc1aStgJmCBKTw3k9kx33GAjQ3TzODG-72wWtq3_5kTVLwDRPyLRKSY-mlRyzw/s1600/100606+039.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5479763589659163106" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihFD00C21WsZC_RGR5u_wrm3XR8QwL6g7Uu2gnM4E_aAHbQcH9atkHfKUlPH1AMIABnlqohKrtUc1aStgJmCBKTw3k9kx33GAjQ3TzODG-72wWtq3_5kTVLwDRPyLRKSY-mlRyzw/s400/100606+039.JPG" /></a> Rather average looking gold daylily isn't it?

I love this combination of short tawny lilies in the Sagae hosta. Total accident, of course. The lilies were left over from my father-in-law's plantings 20 years ago, and I just put this Sagae here to test one of 3 sun exposures (morning, afternoon, and filtered all day). Results? Inconclusive. So when we move to Pittsburgh this summer, I'm planting the 3 hosta together in a triangle, underplanted with these lillies.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>hemehostaholichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04111889367172152941noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12227816.post-3571603621300980172010-06-05T06:43:00.000-07:002010-06-05T07:40:23.133-07:00Pretty Season Has Arrived for Philly Daylilies<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4PmynjBB0x08V6YFYft1RUO-nKXsA2wH4s0TbQzrU-E87c7AtR-sI-UL-NIN9JkAUrYp4nyiOn7H8lxxWtrddZYy0h2znNoBobrxThUcT7hWCLHFCP9f8Slirmjm1Gwcw8Z_lCg/s1600/100605+009.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5479287277391578914" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4PmynjBB0x08V6YFYft1RUO-nKXsA2wH4s0TbQzrU-E87c7AtR-sI-UL-NIN9JkAUrYp4nyiOn7H8lxxWtrddZYy0h2znNoBobrxThUcT7hWCLHFCP9f8Slirmjm1Gwcw8Z_lCg/s400/100605+009.JPG" /></a> I am a stipple freak- I'm trying to increase the gene pool of these dotty daylilies (some people think I'm a bit dotty too!). This is my second stipple to bloom, Mark's Bouquet (Joe Agosta from Florida, 2006). 22ERe4.3, Evergreen Diploid. It rebloomed late July last year for fellow DVDS member MaryAnn Pruden, who has been breeding "stars & stripes" longer than I have. <a href="http://lilyhouseonline.com/">http://lilyhouseonline.com</a> is her site.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghdllmNyGTq1Xek1BHviq8_6HY6QRDmIK7yX9ERncy85kCvpXaBBdxL8zkaBZ8J2RB2UClR_p2YnnMXAEwgTcB0DjeXvVriZxEffvcrcVU8jlbfhCJWJOUG0QIRohrqRk29syvEA/s1600/100605+018.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5479287269649906530" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghdllmNyGTq1Xek1BHviq8_6HY6QRDmIK7yX9ERncy85kCvpXaBBdxL8zkaBZ8J2RB2UClR_p2YnnMXAEwgTcB0DjeXvVriZxEffvcrcVU8jlbfhCJWJOUG0QIRohrqRk29syvEA/s400/100605+018.JPG" /></a> Today is the first day I had more than 5 "pretty" daylilies to choose for the blog. Most early daylilies are, at most, "not unattractive". But here's Applique, 10 inches of "UnF" which stands for "Unusual Form". It used to be abbreviated UFo but people confused that with Flying Saucers. The cultivar name refers to the applique throat, which appears to be raised, or pasted on.
