Supposedly it will be introduced at the Atlantic City garden expo next winter or spring. The tentative name is "Mean Mister Mustard".<br /><a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_Wy_M21kS6D4/Rq_kfZYLYrI/AAAAAAAAAKM/HTiaPqydnJU/s1600-h/070722+027.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5093540931618693810" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_Wy_M21kS6D4/Rq_kfZYLYrI/AAAAAAAAAKM/HTiaPqydnJU/s400/070722+027.jpg" border="0" /></a> This is Malachite Prism, which has survived two winters in my garden and longer on Long Island, though it is not RELIABLY hardy north of Zone 7. I put a pot over the plant after Christmas and cover that with a foot of compost until April.<br /><a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_Wy_M21kS6D4/Rq_kfpYLYsI/AAAAAAAAAKU/ArR49eUnpvA/s1600-h/070723b+007.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5093540935913661122" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_Wy_M21kS6D4/Rq_kfpYLYsI/AAAAAAAAAKU/ArR49eUnpvA/s400/070723b+007.jpg" border="0" /></a> Party Pinafore is one of many reds with lighter edges, but I think it's one of the best. I also grow Roses in Snow, Geneva Firetruck, and Mean Jean, but this is my favorite.<br /><a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_Wy_M21kS6D4/Rq_kf5YLYtI/AAAAAAAAAKc/hZOEHkfGFfM/s1600-h/070723b+022.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5093540940208628434" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_Wy_M21kS6D4/Rq_kf5YLYtI/AAAAAAAAAKc/hZOEHkfGFfM/s400/070723b+022.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Laura Harwood is one of Betty Harwood's best known hybrids, and it is a must for the late daylily garden.<a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_Wy_M21kS6D4/Rq_kgZYLYuI/AAAAAAAAAKk/NY_5zwRiswg/s1600-h/070724+094.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5093540948798563042" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_Wy_M21kS6D4/Rq_kgZYLYuI/AAAAAAAAAKk/NY_5zwRiswg/s400/070724+094.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Finally, this is Bridgeton Kodak Moment, introduced this year by Darrel Apps. </div><div>Yesterday, Stella De Oro rebloomed, and today Happy Returns showed up after its midsummer nap, so the Rebloom Season is officially upon us. Final Returns has started blooming, and every day I get more final blooms from the midseason cultivars. This week I'll be posting a few more of my mid-season favorites, which I've been too busy to show you in July; then we'll get into lates and rebloomers starting next week. </div>lilyholichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04111889367172152941noreply@blogger.com
