First blooms for Tani, early this morning. Not fully open but I didn't want to lose the chance to get a photo in light of the way balls fly through my backyard! I love the white stripes...
Just a campanula nodding in the breeze that made me happy this morning as well. There are so many but they have been beaten down by the rain. This one however was almost upright...
I am waiting for Siloam Royal Prince to bloom, having thought he would do so today. Condilla is close, Catherine Woodbury, Siloam Ury Winniford, and Mardi Gras Parade all have buds. I'm hoping that they don't bloom while I am away next week and cause me to miss what I have been waiting for! Chorus Line, Daring Dilemna and Bourbon King have shown no sign of performing at all! Last year on the second of August Chorus Line was blooming nicely. Not sure why this year she is empty. Disappointing I must say. Pardon Me didn't bloom last year and sadly this year is no different. Off I go to cheer them on. I really need to overhaul the back gardens to make room for more daylilies and a tree as the one on our neighbours side of the fence has died. Granted I get much more sun, but have lost so much privacy which I value immensley! Plans are in the works but the implementation is the challenge.

Tani is gorgeous ... I love the colours. I wonder why some daylilies decide not to bloom. That is sad.
I love the campanula blooms.
I'll cheer on your other daylilies so that they bloom before you leave or after you get back!
Hi Alison, I am having problems with some of my daylilies not blooming either. I read that they need plenty of water in the springtime when the foliage first comes up. They also need plenty of water and sun as they are growing. I have found (though I'm working on changing it) that if a plant does not bloom one year, it will not bloom the next year, either. :(
So I will be moving a lot of my plants that decided not to bloom. Obviously conditions must change if they are to bloom again.
Oh, and the "white stripes" are called "midribs". In case you are ever looking for similar flowers, that would be the search term to use.
