I love to read and also to spend time outdoors in the garden-zone 6-Daylilies, hosta, pollinators!

Green Fling, Beck 2022, reblooming this morning; it's greener than my photo can show! It's too late to pollinate but I saved pollen!

09/19/2024

During the summer we enjoy masses of blooms but now in the latter half of September, those last late blooms are individually much appreciated. Check the last photo for something unexpected in the captions.

Harvest moon last night plus a few clouds bring out the drama!

Yesterday I dropped in at Curt Hansen's Crintonic Gardens to pick up ONE daylily I had won at the Reg 2 Summer Meeting in July
(Cue the riotous laughter) Stopping here for ONE daylily is like eating ONE honey roast peanut. It's like wearing ONE sock. It's like watching just the first in a two part series that you've been waiting for. So I'm wandering around the late season garden and see something that looks like a yucca at first glance but then see this Jurassic Park scape! Check the pics to see what it was, and yes, I got that two, I mean too. (See what I did there :-) ?

Richard J Howard, Ridder 2019, giving us a Two-fer Tuesday show. I have to say, this is the best branched (6 way!), reliable broken color I have. Why are all my broken patterns blooming so late?

09/04/2024

Two-fer Tuesday here with Salter's Rustic Charm, 2014. One of the prettiest brown tones I have seen!

09/01/2024

I put up my swing this afternoon, taking over 2 hours and some sweat! More in the captions.

What happens when you plant strawberries as a ground cover between your daylilies? 🍓 🍓 🍓 Obviously!

08/27/2024

As the garden season winds down, the late blooming daylilies are extra appreciated because winter's snow will be here too soon. Here's what's blooming today--93 degrees predicted. 🥵 Maybe that snow won't be so bad 😁...who am I kidding? 🥶

08/22/2024

We're getting ready!!!

08/20/2024

Two for Tuesday is an honored tradition on daylily FB pages, so here is a late bloomer, Feathered Serpent, Polston 2017. This is always a dramatic show even from across the garden.

08/11/2024

Four Airedales and the few daylilies I liveheaded this evening. All four love the flowers so much it's hard to skip this step. If they ever get into the daylight beds, it's going to be a hermero-massacre! ...I'll just go check those gates again now.

08/05/2024

Here's what 8 cubic yards of Super Soil looks like in the driveway. They won't deliver off a paved surface so here's where it's going along the new fence to create two new beds on the other side of the house. Why you ask? Because I have about 40-odd plants in pots that need a new home....and podded up toothy and broken color cultivars that look like 2025 will produce MANY seedlings!

07/30/2024

Twofer Tuesday! This very morning, with many of my daylilies finished for the year here in northern Ohio, I appreciate the rebloomers more and more. This is Sky Angel, Ansari 2022. Pure white and true blue doesn't exist genetically (yet) in daylilies but Sky Angel is the bluest one I have. Every time it blooms I stop in my tracks and just take it in. The ethereal color is hard to capture -- taken about 6:20 am.

07/29/2024

My most exciting seedling this summer...the pollen may have strayed into a few flowers here. Clown Pants stripes, purple teeth and a little bit of doubling showing!

07/16/2024

Ummm, yeah, about that.... 😂

07/15/2024

Most color changing daylilies descend from Pigment of Imagination but this mild, unassuming pink 🩷 holds a special secret. According to the hybridizer, Chad Bush, this little beauty descends from another blood line. Something I like is how it maintains substance even at the last pic at 7 pm. The fine dark lines add interest as the color changes--Really unique!

07/15/2024

After a year of waiting the Polston seedling is blooming with 3 sturdy branches and 15 buds. Recording stats on this baby. Also trying to plan what pollen to use as this is my first opportunity to set pods! Maybe a short happy dance occurred when I saw my one fan is now two 😁

07/06/2024

So, what to do... first off, yes, ugly, horrible snapping turtle sepals on this two branched Clown Pants grandkid. So, compost, right? BUT.... cristate....and clear stripes pattern....and PURPLE TEETH! Hummmm, what would you do?

07/04/2024

We've been busy as a bee, with the garden popping, spreading pollen, enjoying the beauty, making another new bed and getting ready for our Reg 2 Summer Meeting! If you're not already registered for July 19-21, there are about 10-15 spots yet and it looks like 300+ cultivars at all price ranges!

07/02/2024

Today we had our visit to be an accredited American Daylily Society Display Garden! Paperwork submitted and now we wait.

07/01/2024

The last open garden before heading home, but, WOW 😲, so very many beautiful beds, settings and plants! Steve Franklin and his family are truly blessed. Thank you for the wonderful experience! ... and put aside a little bit of Princess Isabelle Grace for me! We made it home safe, 7 PM, which made our pupper dogs very happy.

07/01/2024

On Sunday, with the Reg 10 Summer Meeting done, after a good night's sleep in the AC and feeling much refreshed, there were some open gardens! First up, On Eagles Wings with Nancy Smith. Thank you so much for the wonderful hospitality and welcome at 9 am on Sunday!

07/01/2024

Who doesn't love a daylily auction?!? Our registration plant, Creekside Summer Paradise, was slowing consistent 4+ way beautiful branching no matter what it's registration says! The rest are named below, I was trying to show restraint here considering I have about 50 cultivars in pots waiting for me to finish the new bed!

07/01/2024

Reg 10 Summer Meeting, last stop of the day for me. There's two more garden but the temps and humidity are blazing 🤒 hot, 🥵 Hot, 🔥 HOT! Getting ready for the buffet and (drumroll, please 🥁🥁🥁🥁) Auction!

March 19--While the magnolia bravely blooms during another round of snow ❄️

Early July with the first seedling bed done and the half circle bed from last fall nearly filled in.

Early in July, 2023, still working on this arena. First you see the hostas, then the Benz cultivars, then a small section of Dave Winter's diploids.

Spring, 2023--The Chaos daylilies of Chad Bush and the 2021 collection from Kathy's Daylilies, the Fowlers, are growing beautifully 😍, flower buds and scapes reaching high, and I began to fear a raid from the native dreaded whitetail deer, who just *love* the taste of day lilies, the more expensive the better! So I tried this (turn up your speakers!)... working so far!
