On ice skates...doing the splits?
Ugly Thread 2006
This thread is hilarious...if someone has never grown daylilies before..they'd sure never buy one after seeing these..lol...I finally have an entry...Stagecoach Inn..maiden bloom...
I think Moby may be on to something. Can't we rename them just for the moment in time they look so unlike their Plant File photos?
Like "Crab On Skates"?
Crab on Skates...good one Moby..lol..
Looks like the Stagecoach Inn is next door to Moby's Hot Nickle Saloon... I hear there was quite a rowdy crowd there last night. Must have spilled over on to your bloom, Jody. ;o)
Kelly in OK
ROTFL I like that!
ROFLOL!!!!! Spit my coffee out!!!!! "...Hot Nickle Saloon..." "...Crab On Skates..." This is my favorite DL thread!
How about Stagecoach Thin since it's so squished.
Oh that's a good one..heehee
Stagecoach wheel...lol...
That's what I was thinking ~ looks like something found in a wagonwheel rut.
I hurried out at 6 AM this morning as I knew that my very first 2004 tet spider seedling would be blooming.
This pic is what I saw ;-( Then I remembered that the cross was Red Suspenders X Blue Eyed Curls) Remember the reg. plant Blue eyed Curls from lst years ugly thread???
This bloom petals were skewed and canoe-ed.
I took its picture and didn't dig it out immediately.
I went out later - 96 degrees and 100% humidity and found it had straightened out somewhat but the deep maroon with a slate blue wash had faded. Guess I'll let it live until it's done blooming - nothing really spectacular about it except it is so ugly when it opens.
roflmbo...Moby
LOL at myself... Sorry, I'm not gonna touch that first pic ~ glad your bloom turned in the right direction, se_eds. :)
I didn't take a photo of my second stagecaoch today,I had company and no time to do it...but it was a bad as the first...Gosh I hope they aren't all as bad as those two...last year it bloomed only a couple blooms but if I remember right they were okay,wonder what's going wrong with it this year...maybe the acid rain talked about eariler in the thread..lol..
se-eds that first pic looks like its giving a hand signal, ROFLMBO.
FFO on Breed Apart.
That's not bad!
FFO on Grey Witch......she was looking pretty witchy today....
Warts and all..... :))
sybiltwo...good one...lol...
Christmas Special wasn't so special on its first bloom. Note the Irish Spring. It's among a number of deer repellents I've got going. They still are getting some of them. I was really diappointed a couple days ago when I found the one scape on last year's addition of one fan of Parrot Jungle stripped of its buds. It was planted where I hoped it would be safe about six feet from our front door.

If I remember right, didn't you try Plantskydd last year?
I did and like so many thing i've tried, it worked for awhile and then they seem to accustom to it. Right now I've got three motion activated Noise makers that offer a high pitch noise that we don't here, a motion activated water sprayer, Irish Spring soap, human hair, human urine, milorganite, and a tape strung about the yard with repellant smelling stuff sprayed on it.
As you probably know by now, I really love my daylilies and would do almost, note almost, anything to protect them. I suppose a really high fence is the only sure thing, but it just wouldn't fit into our neighborhood setting very well. Margo Reed was telling me that, even though have a very successful high fence, they have trouble with them getting under or through the gate.
Burning Angel - FFO - I think she got her face to close to the fire. LOL
And this is the ugliest one I've seen. The actual color is a deep maroon and BLACK - it looks like badly butchered meat. Also a FFO on Cameroon X Jolly Red Giant. The black sepals would make it a reverse bicolor. I don't know whether to kill it now, or wait for the other two scapes to bloom. I have plenty of plants in pots to replace it - and I told it so today. LOL
se_eds: I swear, the first thing that popped into my head about your last entry was, "BOO!!!" or maybe,"Trick or treat!" LOL!!!
diamndsnjns, is that the witch or the broom?
se_eds, yours reminds me of a bat saying Boo!
Those are really good, bad ones. LOL
Leslie
not really sure at this point....lol.....let's hope it gets a little better from here...
Waaaaa! Waaaa! My camera broke! One of the uglies was SO ugly; (How ugly was it?) It was SO ugly, it broke my camera!
Oh, NOoo!! Maybe it's a good thing we can't see ~ we might have gone blind!
I was so excited that my first DL was blooming not so much when I got close and saw what bloomed
It's nice and flat!
LOL
It is that
LOL
Yep that's an flat ugly one...lol...
FFO on GARY COLBY
Is Gary a bit immature? (acne)
LOL, I was too tired to think of something to go with him but I think that's it Moby!
Maybe if he not as immature as he looks, maybe Gary Moldy?
I still haven't had a really ugly bloom this year, but here's a real ugly garden picture. The pink and gold is even more jarring in person. I'm SURE I didn't plant an oriental lily right in the middle of the Stella clump. Maybe the squirrels helped?
