  • Heavenly Beginnings. Another flower today with the wrong number of petals.




  • I have just noticed that Peacock Maiden has today produced this flower with 8 instead of 6.

    How striking.. you're getting a few oddities occurring... don't you deadhead your daylilies Alan?  I suppose if I had 80 I wouldn't bother..  with only 8 I can just about manage it..

    Some of these Daylilies produce huge flowers..  it doesn't look it but I measured this one at fully 8'' across..

  • Marlorena I don't normally bother with deadheading. It doesn't encourage more flowers and it doesn't really improve the appearance significantly.

    I also have Radiation Biohazard, who can resist it with a name like that!

    Lovely dahlias @Alfie_ I particularly like Wizard of Oz and the colours on Eveline are so beautiful and delicate @Marlorena. This year I’ve gone for a particular colour palette, dark, orange and cream rather than the riot of colour I had last year but I’m taking note for next year when I might have a change.

    First dahlia flower has opened overnight. Looking back at last year's photos, I'm a good month ahead this time round. Looks like the growhouse has helped a lot, expecting a good display this year!

    I meant to say that the labels are long gone of the above!
