More New Blooms (C'mon, It's July!)

New blooms keep right on coming.

Bumble Bee



Technically, it's the second bloom, but I didn't notice yesterday's bloom until we came back home after 8:00 PM and the light for taking pictures was gone. This is such a cute little mini flower. I've planted it in the front garden near the sidewalk. It's an easy one to miss.

Druid's Chant



Finally, a true lavender! The great irony of this is that in the photo on the tag, its colour was yellow with a dark eye. I imagined I was getting something like 'El Desperado' only with full picotee edging on the petals. It wasn't until I read the written description that I found out it was meant to be lavender. What a bonus!

Moristar Mix



The distributor of this daylily, Moristar, never bothered to give it a name, so I just call it 'Moristar Mix' because that was what they put on the label. I am taking my photos so early in the morning now because of the heat that some of the daylilies are not fully open, this being one of them.

Strawberry Candy



This first bloom for 'Strawberry Candy' is quite small. Later ones should be larger, with a slightly lighter colour.

First Bloom of Unknown Daylily Under Elm



I have my ideas. I think it's a 'Daring Deception' that was mislabelled as 'Forty-Second Street'. This is because I have a tag for 'Forty-Second Street' but no such daylily in my garden.


Siloam Doodlebug



Was it really just two days ago that I predicted it would bloom at the end of July? So much for my powers of prognostication! I love this flower. It even looks pretty in a side view, with those delicate stripes on the sepals.
