This one doesn't have the best flower IMHO but the plant habit is good. It's opened several times and none of the flowers opens wide.

I don't know why I didn't post this one before. It reminds me of Awesome Blossom except that the edge isn't as wide. It's one of my favorites.

This one looks like it's trying to poly. Next bloom should be better

This is a 3 yr. seedling. With all the rain we've been having it is doing a great job of sending up scapes. Last count there were 34.

I can't believe that last three year old seedling with 34 scapes. Is is a miniature, or a dip spider? Those are the only daylilies I've ever seen increase fast - but never to 34 scapes. That's amazing! The first seedling looks cute. I think it will be very pretty when it opens all the way.

Debra, that 3 year seedling is from a Little Grapette & Swiss Mint cross. Swiss Mint is a fast grower and the flower on Little Grapette is only 2" making them diploid. I thought the fast increase was because of all the rain we've been having. The first seedling is from an Ed Chain & Tropical Pleasure cross. Marg
