Last Final, First Bloom

Whew.  Today was my last school final... and boy am I whooped!  I am glad it was my last test too because I was greeted this morning with my first bloom!  Now I will have the time to take photos and see all my seedlings bloom!

It was one of my seedlings from HALF MOON KEY X MUSICAL MEDLEY.  It has a great scape and the flowers are opening nicely... it does have a pointy sepal that I will have to keep an eye on.  I love that it is a bitone and the piecrust edges.

I also found one of my CV's blooming - MIAMI HEAT.  This baby sure puts on a great show every year.  Glad I put it by the driveway so that I can see it when I drive up.

Can't wait to see what this summer will bring!

Many, many scapes!

 Still going with keeping track of what is scaping in the gardens.  I think I may put these in an excel spreadsheet to better see any trends.  If I can keep up, maybe the dates over a few years would be very interesting.

More Scapes Up! (Creative, huh?)

Alright, fighting the wind and wearing my rain boots (yippee!!), I walked the garden this morning to find more scapes!  I can't wait for blooms.  I guess, technically, Stella is blooming... so that would be my first blooms, but do do you count your Stellas?  :o)

The daylilies in highlighte in purple are the ones that I found up today...
