The third one from the bottom, didn't we see a comparison picture of it from this year too? Of course my memory cell could be malfunctioning, again.

On the one you don't like the sepals on - why not? IMHO, it has the widest, bluntest sepals of the crew, which is my preference for sepals. First year bloom in my garden, it would have received a permit to live.

You have some great seedlings and it will be fun to track the progress next year with hopefully, more moisture than this year.

Happy Turkey Day - Brooke

You sure do have some very pretty seedlings!! My favorites are 1,3,5,and 17. 17, and 5 are really super IMHO. I hope at least some of my seedlings look as pretty as any of yours when they bloom for the first time.

Linda

Wow! Those are fantastic! How exciting to see what they'll do next season and to use them to make further crosses. I look forward to seeing all of your future babies too.
: )

Hello - new to the Daylily forum... those are wonderful flowers!

I recently planted a handful of seed from an unknown reddish/mauve Daylily my brother gave me several years ago... I didn't do the pollinating, the bees did, but I've now got a few tiny seedlings... I'm very interested to find out what they'll look like when in flower...

I'm just getting into Daylilies, and I'm amazed at all the different colors, color combinations, shapes and varieties! It's a vast world of choices!

Anyway... gorgeous flowers, Ellie! I just love looking at all your wonderful pictures!

Good lookers,Ellie! I LOVE the first one!Can't wait to see them next year.

Betsy

WOW Ellie! I hope my seedlings come out as great as yours! Just wonderful, thanks for sharing the pics!! - Chris in CA

you have some of the prettiest seedlings I've seen Ellie.. I need to come visit--just don't mind the shovel..LOL
Shelly

The seedling from Golden Tentacles is just about as nice as they get. The rest are all very nice seedlings.

You have some beauties, Ellie, but I especially like the Golden Tentacles seedling followed closely by the Candied Popcorn Perfection one. Nice job!

wow, you have some gorgeous looking seedlings.I really like # 5 and the last one the best,but all of them are keepers to me.

Jean

Brooke, I may have posted this one but are you thinking of the one that Chris was trying to name for me. I think Jolly Pink Giant was suggested but was already taken. That one was a barker last I looked. As for the one that I didn't like the sepals on, "Inherited Wealth x Tropical Romance," they are pinched and I can't see the width of them. The notation goes to the one Below. Both of those got a stay of excution..Happy Thanksgiving to you too!!!

Linda, I have great expectations for the first one. I don't think the last one will change too much but I really like that one too!! I love the flesh w/ yellow and the green, green throat. Even the recurve doesn't hurt her.

Jackie, I have lots of seedlings and probably will post more but the are most of my best ones to date..Some are almost embarassing , the shape they are in but our lack of rain, really hurt my seedling especially. more so than the older established ones since I couldn't water.

Jodik, I saw the thread you posted about your seedlings which is the reason for this thread. I thought it might interest some folks who are just getting started and didn't know that mine aren't tops. Well, I'm kidding but anyway, when yours bloom for the first time you will think they are terrific just as I did and still do sometimes...I hope you love this new "hobby" "addiction" as we all do here on the gf..I am happy you like the dls pics that I post..

Betsy, I am waiting impatiently for the Golden tentacles seedling to bloom again. I really want to see if it keeps the rick rack ruffle look on the sepals. Brooke pointed that out to ME the first time I posted it.

Chris in Ca, I hope yours are better. I like mine but I like other folks seedlings too so when you have blooms, please post them for us..

Shelly, they look much better in a picture when you can't see the short dried up foliage..I'm coming there next year if I can and I am bringing a back-hoe with me cause I saw a lot of the pretties you have. OOps!! Maybe not a back-hoe since you have so many new beds, just a spade and a pick-up truck. Put the dogs up..

Virgo, if this seedling stays the same, as far as looks go, I like it better than GT. I will have to see how the stats go though since I only had 3 or 4 blooms on this one. Next year will give me more to go on, I hope.

Chris, the CPP seedling, has very nice form. She also was about 4" taller than GT seedling so I think she will be a bigger dl. Her bloom was quite a bit bigger also..No stats though..

Jean, I think you and most of the others chose the same ones. I will post more later but these are the best..I am glad you like them...Thanks for looking.

Brooke, the one you absolutely don't like probably is an Awesome Bloosom kid.

Thank you all for your comments..they are much appreciated and I hope you all had a wonderful day with your families on Thanksgiving Day...Ellie

Yes, Ellie had a great Turkey Day and of course ate too much.

I thought the sepals you didn't like was the CANDIED POPCORN PERFECTION kid and that was the one that made me drool. Nope, the sepals in the one below aren't to my liking but Ooooo La La on the CPP kid.

I thought you posted a pic of a big floozy kid a couple of years ago and then a pic of the bloom this year, where it tightened up and was just big, but not spuf-ish any more. Or I may be dreaming about daylily seedlings, again.

Brooke

Ellie, you have some really nice seedlings. I am not a big fan of yellow daylilies, but I really like yours. Candied Popcorn Perfection X Spectral Elegance has such a beautiful form. I am fairly new to daylilies and I only know what I like but I like lots of yours. Thanks for feeding my withdrawal symptoms. I have 135 seedlings that should bloom next year (15 from Spectral Elegance), so I am really excited to see what they look like. Keep on posting those pics!

Ann

Brooke, I think this is the one pictured below that you are thinking about. The other ( above ) bloomed for the first time last year but didn't bloom at all this year..

First bloom for this huge seedling. 2005'

{{gwi:881557}}

I have looked and looked and can't find last years pic. It was quite a disappointment though and when I got through crying over it, I gave it another chance. She was some better this year but my expectations were much to high..Below is 2007'.

{{gwi:871305}}

Ann, I had wanted the cross CPPxSE to have more pink. Since this was the first year for it, there is still a possibility that next year will show more. I have had some bad experiences with seedling change. Dash It ( my garden name ) the first year was so dark and flat but this year ( 5 th ) she changed. I wish she were darker but I have to tell you, I like her better this year. Pictures are below. I hope you continue to look at my pics as I really enjoy posting them...Ellie

Dash It 1st year.

{{gwi:898380}}

This year..Dash-It

{{gwi:982309}}

Yup, that was the seedling pic I was remembering. Glad your remember-er is better than mine.

Have you bloomed any seedlings out of Dash yet?

Brooke

Brooke, I haven't bloomed any yet but have some that will bloom in a year or two. Charlie has some from this years cross with Pink Stripes and I think Numama has some crosses with her. Do you like her better this year as I do?? I think she has more character this year than the other years but I am a little disappointed in the color. ...Ellie

I prefer the color this year if your camera is picking up the correct color. Purple-ish is hard for some cameras to capture. I didn't know Dash It was a girl, I always think of him as a boy - my apologizes to her.

Brooke

I thought all dips were girls, Brooke...My bad...OK, He it is...I think that is the true color this year. I saw a tet somewhere that looks like the first year pic. Also from Trahlyta. I don't remember which web-site though...Ellie PS, I got a new camera for my b'day. maybe it will do a better picture.

Dips are just blondes wanting to be tets. With Dash It as HIS name I just think of tall, dark and handsome - you know, dashing - think Clark Gable in Gone With The Wind.

With cameras you either get one that takes great purple/burgundy colors and key rappy light colors or vice versa.

Blonde Brooke

Yeah girl, I knew you were a blonde!!! I have an old camera that takes good pics and I have a Sony Cyber Shot that is easier to operate but cannot pick up ANY of the colors. Everything seems washed out with that one. Pinks are almost white and the yellows are a very pale cream. Even the darker colors are light with it. We have tried so hard to adjust it but to no avail. My BIL is a professional and he gave up. I hope the new does better...Stay warm...Ellie
