Thanks Katie. Mildred is my longest blooming daylily. She just keeps going throughout the summer. 🥰 @brightcolours

She deserves a prettier name (sorry to Mildred Mitchell)

I agree Jason. Very old fashioned name. 🤔 @hebelover

#daylily #daylily-mildredmitchell #stillblooming #lookingpinknow #rebloominglily

Those colors !!! 😍

Aren’t they lovely. Thanks Sherri. 🥰 @sherrisgarden

Your most welcome Diane. 😘

Mildred is such a joy to see!! 💖💖💖@hkyfvr

How kind of you to say. Thanks 🥰 @cheriej

You are very welcome!! @hkyfvr

#daylily #daylily-mildredmitchell #thirdbloom The flower is a lovely lavender colour that does not show in the photo.

#daylily #daylily-mildredmitchell #finallysheblooms #inthepouringrain #shemadeherentrance #sohappytoseeher

This looks Nothing. At. All. like my "Mildred Mitchell," @hkyfvr

Thanks Laura. I likey too. 😁 @columbiariver

I ordered this from Breck’s a few years ago. It looks fairly close to the photo in their catalogue. At least in the right lighting it does. 🤷‍♀️ You can never be sure with Breck’s. @emch

I ordered the same plant from the same source, @hkyfvr -- color me flummoxed

#bestofjuly

Thanks very much for the lovely tag Katie. 😍 @brightcolours

#daylily #daylily-mildredmitchell #oneoflastthreeblooms #longbloomingtime #whatatroopersheis

Spots? Yours has spots!?

Some do have spots. Wonder if it is because it rained last night. When I deadhead these the colour comes out all over my hands so it kinda makes sense. 🤔🤷‍♀️ @emch

Thanks Katy. One more left to go and she is done. A very long blooming time for her. 😍😍 @gjones

Every word opens a new chasm beneath my feet, @hkyfvr

Just don’t fall in 🫣 @emch

#daylily #daylily-mildredmitchell #fourmorebloomstoday #sheisamazing #twoflowerstogether

Thanks Katy. I agree. My coneflower is a #cheyennespirit and it has orange, yellow and pinky purple flowers. Some flowers have all three colours in one. Very pretty. 🧡💛💗 @gjones

Beautiful!! I really love this one!😍😍😍

Thank you so much. I love it too. It has done so well in spite of the heat. 😍😍 @cheriej

Daylilies adore a heatwave, @hkyfvr !

Thanks @emch. So glad they do. 😄 @emch

Love the colour 💜

Thanks so much. I love it too. 💜 @Jean12345

#daylily #daylily-mildredmitchell #bloomingitssocksoff #lovethecolours #bestofaugust

So confused lol

Wow 🤩

Thanks Elaine. These rebloomers just keep on going. Last year I only got maybe 4 blooms. This year probably 30. 😄 @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

Mildred has been magnificent this year. So happy with all the blooms she keeps producing 😍😍 @gjones

Ours only tend to give us one flush in a season which is a pity

The new reblooming ones we have can either grow early summer then later or they just have an extended bloom period. Had no idea I would have them blooming this long. 👍😄 Hope you will have access to these too. 🤞🤞 @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

I’d love that Diane, I don’t like mine very much, it’s gone in no time and leaves a big clump of mess…..🫤

They are so slimy and messy when they go over. The Mildred Mitchell stains my hands purple when I remove the spent blooms. She is worth it when she lasts so long. My pink one is a rebloomer and I have a new one that did not bloom this year. Hopefully next year 🤞🤞 @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

#daylily #daylily-mildredmitchell. #stillblooming #augustblooms

Yet another variation in the color! #curiouscases

Very nice Diane my day lilies finished a couple of weeks ago

I know. I brought one inside and it looked wine coloured. 🤷‍♀️ @emch

Thanks Alan. Mine are rebloomers and that can mean that they bloom for a longer time. This sure has. 😁 @alan1111

Thanks Karen. These rebloomers bloom for a long time. My other Lily was finished weeks ago. 😁 @KOutdoors

Rebloomers! Tks Diane I'll have to look into them

Always welcome 😍

#daylily #daylily-mildredmitchell #colourchanginglily #lookedpinkintheafternoon #nowbacktolavender #eveningcolour

That colour 💜💜💜 think I need a Mildred in my life 😍

Thanks Kerry. Everyone needs a Mildred. 😁 @kez001uk

@hkyfvr absolutely! I’m on the search now 🤣

Yet another set of different colors! Wonders never cease

She does like to change her outfits 😂 💗💜 @emch @gjones

Thanks Karen. The angle of the bright sun made her colour look different in real life. 💜💗💜 @KOutdoors

She’s glorious!! 💜💜💜

Thanks Cherie. She seems to change colour in the afternoon sun. Love all her shades. 💜💗💜 @cheriej

#daylily #daylily-mildredmitchell #changeincolourtoday #muchpinker

Wait. I love this, but it looks nothing like your other "Mildred Mitchell" blossom...

I am going to double check but this was one one the buds on Mildred. There are a few left so it will be interesting to see what they look like. Weird 🤷‍♀️ @emch

And fantastic! I wish mine would do this!!!

Thanks Eileen. I posted a new photo of the same flower in the evening. It seems that the sunlight made Mildred appear much pinker in the afternoon. Mysterious colour changing Lily 🤷‍♀️ @emch

Well my "Old Termite" plays that trick, but I've never seen it in Mildred at all, @hkyfvr

Funny how this happens. When I first looked at it yesterday afternoon I thought I was looking at a different lily. I like the colour changes. 💜💗💜 @emch

#daylily #daylily-mildredmitchell #tripletstoday #lovingtheheatandhumidity #lovetheseflowers

Mildred is a real star! 💘😍

I think we all need more heat tolerant plants with the way the weather is going…that are lovely Diane. How is your leg? 😘

I have to agree Shelley. She is so pretty. 💕💜 @ShelleySnyder

I agree Angela. It is so hot and humid outside today I can only go out for a few minutes at a time. It is cooling down Tuesday and rain is coming. Hope you get some relief. My leg is healing slowly and I have to go for bandage changes every 3 days. It sure was a mess. I guess it has to get worse before it gets better. 🙏 Thanks for asking 😍 @italydiva

It’s often a slow process but you will get there for sure…thinking of you 😘 x

Thanks so very much Angela. 🥰 @italydiva

Thanks very much. My mildred trio. 😁 @gjones

😍😍😍

Thanks Jason. She has done so well in her second year. So happy with her colours 💗💜 @hebelover

#daylily #daylily-mildredmitchell #twinmildreds #botharesopretty

Thanks Katy. 💕 @gjones

Gorgeous how she darkens with age 😍

I know. These just opened today but are darker than the rest. 🤔 😁 @kez001uk

#seeingdouble #twodayliliesintherain #twomildredmitchells #thunderstormsallday. #tonightandtomorrowtoo

#greatcolor @hkyfvr ! I don't understand why mine are pale peach and yours look like the catalogue 🤔

Who knows with Breck’s. I guess I got the right thing that actually grew for a change. I had a credit with them and out of 5 plants I ordered only 2 made it. Still no flowers on the dahlias yet though. The problem is I keep ordering as I have a credit with them. 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️ @emch

They’re such a fantastic colour 😍

They know how to put on a show even in the rain. Thanks. 😍 @kez001uk

Thanks Katy. We sure are getting a lot of rain today and tomorrow. We had a tornado warning too for a short while. 🤦‍♀️ @gjones

#daylily #daylily-mildredmitchell #fournewflowerstoday #lovemymildred

Thanks Katy. I really like Mildred. 💗💜 @gjones

Mildred is a beauty!! 💖💖💖

Thanks so much. She really is. 💗 @cheriej

#daylily #daylily-mildredmitchell #anotherdayanotherbloom #bestofjuly

There she is! So beautiful. Mine didn’t bloom this year 🌞

#daylily #daylily-mildredmitchell #anotherflower #bestofjuly

Yours looks strikingly different from mine, @hkyfvr

I noticed that Eileen. Ordered mine from Breck’s and it actually looks something like the photo. Hard to believe. 🙄 @emch

Wow, I didn't think they colored up their photos, these are decidedly different than yours Eileen @emch I quite buying from Brecks, their plants never thrive for me

I bought 4 dahlias and 2 did not come up at all. The other 2 have not flowered. They also sent me a root piece of a coneflower that was a dud. It had no stem on it. I am sick of their plants not surviving too. @lesliecole49

#daylily #daylily-mildredmitchell #anotherphoto #lookspinker #afternoonsun

She’s a beauty 😋

Thanks. Mildred has matured into a lovely lady. 😍😍 @kez001uk

@hkyfvr she really does age well 😉

#secondflower #daylily #daylily-mildredmitchell #lovehercolours

Love this! 😍💜💜💜💜💕 #bestofjuly

Thanks so very much Theresa. Thanks for the tag also. I do love this Lily. 💜💗💜 @treefrog44

Lovely colour….💜

Thanks very much Elaine. Love the colour on this beauty. 😍 @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

It’s beautiful 💜👌🏼

Gorgeous!! I don’t have any pink or purple daylilys. I may need to get some!! 💕💜💕

Oh she’s very different to the other flower 😍

Thanks ladies. Love the colour on this. 💗💜 @cheriej @kez001uk

#daylily #daylily-mildredmitchell #sheisfinallyhere #twobloomstoday #sohappytoseethese

Mildred is very pretty! 💘😍

Thanks Shelley. I really love this one. 💜 @ShelleySnyder

My pleasure Diane! 💘😍

#daylily #daylily-mildredmitchell #indoorsinwater The last three blooms snapped off in the wind so I brought them inside. They sure look darker in the kitchen light. Burgundy shade. 😁

Wait, what? That's pure #weirdness

@emch - I bring lilies inside to bloom all the time!

What a difference in colour 😮

I know. It looks so much darker. Probably partly due to the lighting in my kitchen. Kind of pretty though. 👍😍 @kez001uk

@hkyfvr it’s lovely indoors and outdoors 😁

Thanks Kerry 😍 @kez001uk

#daylily #mildredmitchell #julyblooms #daylily-rebloomer #openedtoday

So #veiny

You have some gorgeous day lilies Diane!💘😍

I agree @ShelleySnyder

Thanks so much @ShelleySnyder @emch You are both so kind 😍😍

Very welcome indeed!💘😍

She’s an absolute beauty 😍

Thank you. Mildred seems to get more true to colour with each flower. More lavender. 👍😍 @kez001uk

@hkyfvr not a colour you see much of either 💜

@hkyfvr I am having the same experience this year! Last year every bloom was an anemic color like the Crayola crayon called "Flesh."

Ooh. Not that awful crayon colour. Glad the colours are getting better. 👍😍 @emch

#daylily #daylilymildredmitchell #smallblooms #lavendercolour

💗so 💗pretty💗

Thanks very much. Got this as a bare root in the Spring. Really like the colour. It is a rebloomer too. 💗💕 @crabby58

Thanks. I am very happy with it. Planted it in May as a bare root and it shot right up. 👍💗 @gjones

#daylily #daylily—mildredmitchell #secondbloomever #rebloominglily

She looks even better today 🤤

Thanks Kerry. I have to agree. The first flower was timid. 🤣😍 @kez001uk

@hkyfvr 🤣😂 not anymore!

I had an cousin-in-law whose name was Mildred Mitchell

Maybe they named the flower after her. Lol 🤣🤣 @lesliecole49

Her family would have been proud

#daylily #mildredmitchell #smallflower #finallyopened #soexcited #daylily-rebloomer

See, your MM looks very little like mine, and mine this year looks different from the same plant last year! #weirdness

Pretty 😍

Thanks so much. Just a little Lily but she packs a punch. 💗💕 @laketitlow

Very strange Eileen. 💗 @emch

Thanks Katy. Got her as a bare root in May and was excited to see what she looked like. 💗💕 @gjones

She’s here!!! 🥳

Finally. She is pretty small but pretty. She looks more lavender than in the photo. 😍 @kez001uk

@hkyfvr so it turned out the colour you were expecting too 😁

So I fretted for nothing. When will I learn. Thanks Kerry. 💗 @kez001uk

@hkyfvr after the weirdness of this year you’re allowed to fret 😛

Thanks. Appreciate that 👍😍💕 @kez001uk

#daylily #mildredmitchell #lookslikeitcouldbepink #reallyhopeso #smalldaylily #hopeitbloomssoon

#daylily #mildredmitchell #justplantedbareroot #plantedlatemay #alreadyonebloomstalk #soexcited

Yay! She’s on the way 😋

Yes. The photo in the encyclopedia shows her as orange. The one I ordered is supposed to be purple and pink. We shall have to see. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ Thanks Kerry @kez001uk

@hkyfvr the description says lavender 🤔 I just looked Thelma’s photo and seems hers was advertised as pink/lavender but turned out peachy 😧

Oh dear. It is a twice blooming Lily so maybe will be different. It was definitely lavender and pink in the catalogue. Should have got the cherry pink one. I do have enough of that colour. My Breck’s order was a disappointment too. My balloon flowers never came up and the aster I got is just two twigs. Maybe it is too early for asters to start. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️😢 @kez001uk

@hkyfvr I’m hoping with you that it’s as advertised 😍 sorry to hear about your balloon flowers 😞 mine haven’t long broken through the soil though. And asters, I think a lot of them are late summer flowering so you might still have luck with that 🤞🏻

Thanks so much Kerry. You always cheer me up. I am more optimistic today. Whatever happens was meant to be. The roots looked great when I planted them and I gave them a good soaking first as per instructions. 🤞🤞👍 @kez001uk

@hkyfvr I’m so glad 🤗 that’s the best start you can give it and the rest is up to nature ☺️
