Okay Bob, I'm going to have TO STOP looking at your pictures because You are causing me LOVE ATTACKS! I feel like I'm about to have a heart attack!
What would one do to acquire these beauties? My goodness, PURE TORTURE!
Nancy

Absolutely wonderful! I surely wish it was growing in my
garden.

Love your new ones.

Kay

Beautiful pattern, keep up the good work.
nice!

Stunning! What a pattern!

Debra

Can't you just envision where this could go....either increasing numbers of concentric circles radiating outward or perhaps the outer ez becoming very large such that it extends almost to the edge. Then you'd have a daylily that would be almost entirely pattern!

I wonder what would happen if you were to use a daylily with a very large, dark, dramatic ez. Would that ruin the pattern you've worked to get, or would it result in that very large outer ez?

....the name for your new intro. :))) How about THREE HEARTS BEATING AS ONE....

I was thinking of a name like "Stack the Deck", but it will take a little evaluation before it becomes an intro. Two great pluses (besides the pattern and color)1)-I took this photo at 7:00 this morning and it was 56 degrees out, so it opens good and 2) at dusk right now it looks the same. I am really happy with it. There are 3 or 4 others in the same cross that also are large, patterned and hold up well...I hope I am inspiring some of you to jump into this. One of the reasons I post is to encourage some of you. The cross is (8-22-3) x (7-54-1). Both of these bloomed in 2005 and they are 3 generations my seedlings. Bed #, row # and seedling #....Bob

I just have one word for this one Bob......WOW!!!!!
Jan

BOB I also hybd keep up the good work what is the bud count and ht stunning flower. dick

I don't usually find that much interesting in the eye patterned hems, but this is the best I have seen. I think it's the very light cream against the darker colors, which creates such a contrast.

Add an outside edge and I'll be mesmerized! (Actually, an edge on the outside my distract???)

Very very nice, Bob - that patterned eye is great. I'll be interested to see how it improves on it's next bloom. That heart pattern is priceless.

Bob, the eye on that one looks like one of those purple clovers. I love it, its like a work of art. Have you ever seen that movie What dreams may come, with Robbin williams in it. He's in heaven and everything around him is like a giant watercolor painting. This flower looks like it belongs there! You've done it again! -Jessica

Very very nice.
