July 4 Open Garden, Jacque' DeJesse
Jacque' DeJesse lives just a half mile south of Granite Run Mall, on Route 452, just West of Media, PA. Every 4th of July recently she has hosted an open garden, and she has some spectacular cultivars and interesting small spider seedlings. Above is Zip boom Bah (Dickerson 97).
Wild And Wonderful (Stamile 02) poly. We're supposed to say polymerous rather than polytepal now, so is this polymerousing? This is NOT on the AHS Polymerous list, and it's registered 36ERe8.5 so this must be rebloom.
Northwind Dancer (Schaben 01).
Jacque' and two Memories of Oz (Herrington 01).
And Candy Cane Dreams (Jim Murphy 05).Labels: Daylilies Philadelphia PA

Late August Daylilies in Philadelphia
August 28: Nature Girl, Grape Magic, Little Wine Cup, Stella; Unknown Rose, Point of View, unknown from Ladybug; two Happy Returns.
8/29: Little Wine Cup & Grape Magic; Scentual Sundance, Bridal Path, the last Angelique in Satin; Big Time Happy, Happy Returns and Stella.
Anybody know what this is? I bought Skinwalker from Ladybug and got this- but I like this better! It's only 6.5 inches but always neat.
This is also a beautiful daylily, diamond dusted and throwing an extra petaloid or two, but not a double. This is last bloom for this year. But it's not what I bought- any ideas?

Hosta, La Vista from Philadelphia
For the GSDG Club members who also grow hosta, but probably will never get to Philadelphia , here are some of the hemehostaholic's hostas.
The non-hosta front and center is Podophyllum Kaleidoscope, a hybrid mayapple from Terra Nova. Daylilies still outnumber hostas two to one, so it's hard to get a photo of hostas without daylilies in it.
Hostas are stuffed anywhere in the yard where there is some afternoon shade. One of the best spots is on the East side of the house, where there is solid morning sun, but shade after 1 pm. Regal Splendor is in the foreground; halfway down is a mature clump of Antioch. The light one in between is Zounds.
These hosta are are in a "host(a)ile" environment under a Magnolia tree which has too-dense shade, invasive roots, and needs full time deer netting to protect from the local giant rodents. But when you have more hostas than shady spots, you make do with what you have. And behind the tree trunk (the west side), if you look closely, are daylilies where the afternoon sun is too intense for hostas.
