They look like teeth to me as well. Pete Harry, who I spoke to recently, told me that blooms with large ruffles around them, can and often develop teeth around the edges. He had the same experience with 'Your Place or Mine' which is not noted in his description of the plant, but occurred later on rebloom and continued thereafter. nodding

Alex, thanks for the tip, 'Your Place or Mine', is a nice daylily I had to add that one to my ever growing list. Thumbs up

Some days are better spent staying in bed. I had planned on donating seeds to the international seed bank and made a lot of crosses using Pink Promenade as a pollen parent and and pod parent. This morning I plucked a bunch of pods and brought the seeds in to dry on the kitchen counter. While I'm out back slurping down iced cofee and reading Vanity Fair, number 3 son turns on a fan in the kitchen and seeds went flying all over the place.


This photo is a rebloom on Don't Touch That which has had large cupped sepals on every bloom this year. I don't know what causes this trait but the buds always look like a big dose of chlorophyll settled in the tip. The other issue has been that the buds are so tight that 2 or 3 need to be plucked off for a bloom to have room to completely open. This is actually the best photo of the season and I'm curious as to what causes cupped sepals and whether it's a temporary or lifetime thing.

Loud and Lovely has the same issues. You can see the bright green tips of buds and tight placement.

I sometimes see the cupped sepals on a ffoe or blooms in cool temps but the 2 above have displayed cupped sepals all season so not sure what the gig is with them.

I spent the afternoon flagging registered dormants so this winter I can easily check dormancy without reading markers, especially if it's registered as a SEV or EV and has gone dormant. I find it a more enjoyable winter chore than checking for vole holes. Will add notes to database in spring.

All the foliage is cut back due to rust, dead scapes removed and a few markers replaced. 2013 is a wrap.

Obviously didn't wash hands well enough as you can still see spores.

What zone are you in with the rust? And if I may ask, why are you checking for dormancy in the winter?
Curious...

7A - I like the nice clean foliage poking up through the ground from dormants in the spring. Winter dormancy is climatic so what may have been registered as a SEV or EV in say zone 9, may be dormant in 7A and as I downsize, dormancy is a consideration.

And then You get a winter like mine last year, and about 98% of all of my day lilies went dormant, no matter what they were registered as.

This last one, "Something in My Teeth' is exquisite with teeth on both the sepals and petals. Thank-you for sharing all these pix with us. Truly outstanding blooms! Hurray! Hurray! Hurray!


Thanks to everyone
