2010 season winding down
« on: September 20, 2010, 11:53:57 AM »
It is only 4 to 6 weeks to our first frost.  Pads are yellowing quickly.  I am busy pinching pads, vacuuming and enjoying the last of the blooms.

The winner for today is Perry's Orange Sunset.  Followed by GD's Colorado.  The Pink Ribbon has been a good bloomer for me and I have really enjoyed the pads on the lovely ArcEnCeil.  My unknowns have also been beautiful this year.  I have 3 different yellows.  I am pretty sure that one is a hybrid  seedling of the other two.  It is not blooming at the moment.  It has red stems.  One extends above the water and the other floats on top.

Very pretty Sue!

This post made me wonder about our average first frost date.  Looked it up and it's October 14.  Now I'm sad.  :'(  ;)

Mine are pretty much done even though we are having a warmer than usual September. High was 95 yesterday. Chromatella and Peace Lily were the only ones blooming.

Sue

What part of Texas are you located in?  I am ready for a change in seasons. It was a hot summer!  Your lilies still look very pretty.

I live 35 miles south of the Texan panhandle/Oklahoma panhandle state line.  35 miles south of me is a different zone and rightly so.

Glad your lilies have done well this year..the lily pics look very good.. If it was not for the water lilies I would not have had much to look at this year due to the heat...
