Just wondering - Why would you want to kick OPEN DOOR out of the garden? All your clumps, including that one, look marvelous to me. I love, love, love the butterfly pictures!

Debra

Lovely butterfly. And I just Love YELLOW STAR! It is my favorite as I grow it here too!!! The clump of LUNAR MAX is my favorite daylily.

I love, love your seedling,

ETERNAL WARRIOR X GLASS BEAD GAME - 2nd year seedling,

Its fantastic face. Dont count out the bud count increasing just yet, or more branching, I have a five year old seedlings that has hit its stride with 4-5 way branching, I wouldnt ever have thought it would do that from the first couple of years.

Debra: OPEN DOOR has had so many poor openings, I finally said, shape up or ship out. I guess it got the message.

I was so intrigued as to how well the butterfly stayed in place as I just kept shooting consecutive frames of pictures and it just kept feeding on the coneflower. Now the hummingbird is another one I've been trying to get while it feeds on the lilies. One day.

Rita: My husband loves the yellows. This one is just starting to bloom now and puts on quite a show with its very tall stalks.

Julia

silverkelt: I appreciate your input and comments. I think these seedlings need more room as the bed I have them in is packed. When you've moved a seedling did it set it back the following year?

Julia

A refreshing post. Somehow, it doesn't look hot there. Inca Prince looks marvelous shaded. Your seedlings are vibrant. The butterfly is plump and speckled. And the lilium look crisp.

Here it does , a typical seedling will be set back , but so doesnt many daylilies, even muture ones that Ive moved.

I moved a few this year becuase one of my rose, Hansa, went berzerk in its 5th year, hitting 7 feet by 7 or so, I actually had to cut it back some but I had a # of seedlings under it.

I stick seedlings all over.. which can complicate my master map lol... sometimes I think I remember something, go look it up and I really think I might have mismarked something.. sometimes there is no way a seedling came from a certain cross I made or purchased.

The butterfly pictures caught my interest first. How cooperative of the little darling to hold still for a couple of lovely portraits...Inca Prince looks vibrant and since I like orange, it's my favorite. I also like the 2nd year seedling and hope you allow it to mature even longer before giving it the heave ho....Maryl

I really like INCA PRINCE, VERY BRIGHT ONE. AND open door IS VERY PRETTY, TOO, MY FAVORITE IS W. POPSICLE.;. Love your

lilies, too. they are very pretty.

Very nice mixed bag! My favorites are your first seedling, and the Westbourne cultivar. I like the color, too.

Julia - Here where it's hotter, Open Door always opens well. On her website, Karol mentions one petal doesn't want to lay flat, but I've never had that problem.

Debra

Julie,they are all awesomely beautiful, but I love the color on WESTBOURNE POPSICKLE and I am drooling over your seedling ETERNAL WARRIOR X GLASS BEAD GAME. Do you plan on registering it? Great butterfly pictures. sharon

I really like your first seedling. It's an eye catching color

Thanks all for the comments.
Sharon: I'm not sure what EW X GBG will do over the long term but I would like to cross it with MEAN GREEN next year and see what kind of kids I get.

W.POPSICKLE is much shorter this year than last but I know this is not just a "Julia's garden problem". Hopefully next year we have better luck with the weather.

Julia

Julia, you have some beautiful clumps. I am a real fan of Inca Prince too. I like Westborne's Popsickle, and the lilies are lovely. The butterfly pics are very well done. My favorite is your gorgeous seedling. I really like the color and the form of it. It's a beauty.

Beautiful picture of Lunar Max! I like Penny Pinsley too, it looks so cute. And my favorite is your Eternal Warrior seedling.
Love the butterfly pictures especially the first ones showing its slender legs :)
