Catch-up: First Blooms 6/12/07
Sica Hollow will look better than this first bloom.
Dragon's orb is a small one but that eye shouts "I'm here!" from 50 feet away.
This is Mikado, a Stout hybrid from 1929! Looks better to me than lots of the current registrations.
Merlot Rouge has a great combination of yellow throat and picotee white edge to make it an outstanding double in my humble opinion.
And here's Happy Hooligan, a great double that reblooms for me. It's one of the few stippled doubles, and I think it's really underappreciated.
Also blooming first day but with defects (I'll publish a good bloom later) are Double Blueberry Pie, Betty Warren Woods, Small Gesture, and Malachite Prism. YES- Malachite Prism made it through the winter in Philadelphia!

New Early Daylily Blooms June 9 & 10, 2007
New daylily blooms June 9 & 10:
From the top- my mystery variegated daylily, which is half green, half gold, unlike any others I've seen. I'm waiting for the bloom to see what it looks like.
#2: Stella finally puts in an appearance.
#3: A magnificent pair of Moonlit Masquerade.
#4: Small Tempest, a 3.5" Salter, should bloom midseason, but Woodside must have had it in the greenhouse before I bought it last month.
