Daylilies (Going Green, Monday Morning Blues, Santa's Little Helper, Merlot)

Daylily Going Green (Inimitable x Zephyr’s Song; P. Stamile, 2008). A lemon yellow-spring green bloom opened perfectly well this morning. The bloom has good size (6") and its substance heavy. A very nice cool color, brightens the daylily bed.



Daylily Monday Morning Blues (Magical Passes x tetra Blue Moon Rising; T. Petit, 2005). I posted a picture of this cultivar on May 27. Today, it greets me with three blooms. This is a heavy bloomer!



Daylily Santa's Little Helper (Wild Cherry Roundup x [Cherry Burst x Tetra Ruffled Masterpiece]; D. Trimmer, 2007). A small bloom (4.5") but with great color clarity. No splotch on the petals. The red is quite intense.



Daylily Merlot (Violet Becomes You x Big red Wagon; P. Stamile, 2010). This is the third bloom; this bloom, and each of the previous bloom, are heavy with splotches. The bloom is purple-red in color with heavy substance.
