Today, we had a premier. One of the few left to bloom and a new one to my yard this year. Meet Dr Doom. This cultivator is in my family section because my daughter named her dentist Dr Doom – so it is in her honor.

The bloom is a double spider. Unfortunately, between the monsoons and sprinklers, the heavy bloom got waterlogged. The stem was just never able to hold it up right. Maybe the next bloom will look a little more perky.

What is left is Adios Albuquerque, Navajo Curls, and (I think) Painted Petroglyph (but it could be a fan of Purple Corn Dancer. I don’t see any other new spikes other than a couple of yellow trumpet reblooms in-process. I am going to replace a few daylilies in the front yard that just don’t do well in my yard. None of my tigers bloomed this year. Weird. Anyway – starting to plan for next year.
