Del_s it always amazes me when plants that are from same parent can come out so very different from one another ! Love your # 2 and #1 comes in at a very close second !

All of the seedlings are beautiful.

Signet, your #6 is really lovely. I love the white background color and the midribs on the eye. Del_s, I like Rock Solid X Early Snow. I have been using Rock Solid, but mainly with my darker colors. I am going to have to try it with my lighter colors. It is such a wonderful grower and seed setter for me.

Here are a few of my seedlings.

(Gus Townsend X Desire of Nations) X ( Moonlight Sail X God Save the Queen)

Back Draft X Sam Abell

Chomp X Mitch Lynd

Empire of Dawn and Dusk X Ruby Lipstick

Love for Jesus X Interview with a Vampire

Pumpkin Prince X Remembered Kisses

Velvet Eyes X unknown

Triple Cherries X Bill Norris or Volcano Queen

It's labeled Forestlake Laura Lee Harding X Bass Gibson, but I have my doubts.

Pat Garrity X Gavin Petit

Nancy

Nancy ......yum ......you have some great seedlings here . Yowza Forestlake Laura Lee Harding X Bass Gibson bloom looks huge! #'s 1 , 3 , 4, and 5 are my fav's .

Thanks for your nice comment about my #6 seedling.

I am always so impressed by the seedlings you guys generate. I have found that I have neither the patience nor the organizational skills to do this!!! I have always said any seedling of mine would always have "unknown x unknown" as parentage!!! These are fantastic! Love them all.

Love all of the seedlings here! I'm with you lilykate, I don't have the patience or the space. I do have a seedling the bees made, it has flowered the past two summers.

Signet - All of yours are nice, but the next to last one with the purple twinkle eye just reaches out and grabs me. I like the way the sepals fold back and the markings on the sepals too.

Del - Rock Candy has been a good parent for you. I like both of the Rock Candy babies!

Nancy - I don't remember seeing your first one before, but I love it! I do remember Empire of Dusk and Dawn X Ruby Lipstick because your photos of it from last summer really impressed me. I do hope that one develops the stats for registration. Chomp X Mitch Lind has great color and wonderful teeth, and Pumpkin Prince x Remembered Kisses has nice form and contrast. Where's that pink one with the teeth that I like so much?

Sherry - You got lucky with that pretty bee-pod baby!

Debra

Sherrygirl, you better keep that bee........lol, he really knows what he is doing . What a pretty daylily. I love the soft blue undertone that the plant shows.

Shive , I am glad you like my daylily , it is the one that everyone seems drawn to . . I have had it growing here for a number of years and I am thinking of registering it ,

I'm going to post my UF seedlings first because Signet's first post got me thinking about those.

True to Whim X Persian Pattern, 18-23 buds, 4-way branching, 48=52 inches tall, bud builder and long bloomer. I plan to register this one later this year.

Bali Watercolor x Electric Mist - This one a very green throat and an applique eye. It's never gotten more than 13 buds growing in part shade. I'm going to move it to full sun in March

Awesome Applique X Blazing Saddles - This is another one growing in part shade. I'm hoping the move will improve its stats.

Mokan Butterfly X Bali Watercolor - It's in that same part-shade bed. In the past, when it got more sun it had 18 buds per scape.

Eyes A Blue x Watchyl Lady Butterfly - Not a UF, but a very large triangular flower 6.5-7.5 inches that I'm crossing with UFs. 18-20 buds per scape.

A Little Fire, Scarecrow x Snake in the Grass Boo was new last year. It has brown tones, and I'm not sure if I like it or not.

Debra

OMG Debra All are lovely but I LOVE #1 , #2 and #6 .....those 3 just jump out at me ! hard to say which one is my favorite . # 6 is sooo different ! I wouldn't pass any of them by

Sherrygirl, your seedling is a delicate beauty. I love the soft blend of colors.

Debra, your seedlings are beautiful. I can see why you would be registering the first one--great flower with very good stats. #3 and 4 are my type of flowers. I love the darker eye. Your last one catches my eye too. There are a lot of people who go crazy for the brownish ones.

Thanks to everyone for the kind comments about our seedlings.

Here is the pink seedling with teeth--Chance Encounter X Forestlake Ragamuffin.

Nancy

Nancy and Signet - Thanks for your feedback on my seedlings!

Signet - #6 is very different looking. We'll have to see what it does this season.

Nancy - Ooh lah lah - There's the seedling I remembered. How nice it looks in a clump!

Here are some of my others. I'll post the ones with good enough stats to be registered first.

Sun Bear X Julie Newmar #1, 20-23 buds on 32 inch scapes with 4-way branching, dormant, instant rebloom, vigorous grower garden named "The Thing that Ate the Seedling Bed." It's one flaw is that when temps are 95 and above it fades and takes on tan tones. Sets every pod every time - no matter how hot.

Here it is in a clump

It's sibling is almost as good, but the toothy edge is not as consistent as the sister. It has 6.5 inch blooms on 30 inch scapes with 4-way branching, 20 buds, and instant rebloom. It's a semi-evergreen. Also a pod hussy.

Precious Candy X Twilight Illusion, 5,5 inch blooms on 29 inch scapes, semi-evergreen, 18-22 buds.

Here it is in a clump.

Trimmer seedling "Laughing Hyena" x Back Scratcher - This one has been in the shade for awhile. But three years ago when we had ample Spring Rain it had 22-28 buds and 5-6 way branching. It's a dormant with blooms 7-8 inches on 30-inch scapes.

Others that have been growing in too much shade to get good stats:

Shores of Time X Rosy Rhino was lined out in full sun last fall. It has a 6-inch bloom on 25-inch scapes and 16 buds in part shade. A dormant, It reblooms very well.

In a group

Alan Lane Agin X Cosmic Sensation

Dust Be Diamonds x Tuxedo Junction, very early bloomer that had 18-20 buds before the seedling bed got shaded out by the neighbor's trees.

I have a few more selected seedlings. If you really want to see them, I'll post them later.

Debra

Debra .......um , let me see......yes please show the others !

OK, here are some more that may be registered in the future. It depends on how they do in full sun.

Into the Mystic X Symphony of Praise - When it got more sun, this one had 24-26 buds and 5-way branching, also instant rebloom. The drawback is it's a slow multiplier.

Karelia X Palace Garden Beauty - This one multiplies well enough, but has never had more than 13 buds in part shade.

Dust Be Diamonds X Tuxedo Junction #2. This ones a late bloomer and a hard dormant. Before the encroachment of the trees on its sun, it had a bud count of 18. It hasn't multiplied much in the past two years. I hope a move to full sun next month will get it going again.

Symphony of Praise X Natalie Antoinette has bloomed with a 6.5 inch bloom the past two seasons. If the segments did not recurve so much, the diameter would be 7.5 inches. The first season it bloomed, some critter gnawed off the emerging lateral branch. Last season we had almost no Spring rain, so I didn't get any good information about bud count.

Debra

Lots of nice daylilies! It's hard to pic favorites, but I know you'd like feedback, so here goes. [this is not a put down to ones not chosen!]

Signet: I like 3 & especially 6

Nancy: 1

Debra: 1 & 2 in the first group. 4 in the second group.

Brad

Such lovely creations all! I can't wait to hear when some of these get registered. Debra, Nancy, del and Signet, please keep us posted about your bloom babies. I love seeing them!

Sherry

Signet - I think your purple eyed #6 looks very registration worthy. Does it have pretty good stats?

Debra

Debra, all of your seedlings are beautiful. In the last two posts my picks are Sun Bear X Julie Newmar #1 (It's amazing in a clump), Shores of Time X Rosy Rhino (I love pink ones), and Karelia X Palace Garden Beauty (It looks like it has a nice clear background color). I love your clump shots. I need to do more of that this season.

I don't want to bore you all but I have a few other selects, some of which I have posted last summer.

Here's just a bunch of seedlings we picked and arranged on a bench. Bob comes home for lunch and we walk the seedling beds then. We always pick a few to take back to the house.

This is Ashwood Summer Sunshine X Cactus Blossom. I wish the color was more vibrant, but everything else is superb. It's well over 40 inches tall, has 3-4 way branching with many sub-branches and 20-25 buds. The flower is also large. It has great foliage and it's also late. We like the lates because we don't get that much rebloom so it's nice to have some in full flush when the rest of the garden is winding down.

Here's a clump shot.

I love the color on Belle of Ashwood X Shores of Time, but the bud count might be a bit low. It does have instant rebloom so, we'll see if that makes up for the low budcount.

Belle of Ashwood X Gypsy Rose did not do well last season (I think it was hurt by the late frost we had), but its stats the previous season were good enough for introduction--bud count over 20 plus instant rebloom and tall too.

As you might imagine, Horns X Sea of Cinders is one of Bob's favorites. This was just its second year but we are hopeful. It has good stats and it rebloomed last year. It looks a lot like Sea of Cinders, but is hardy. We're not so sure about the hardiness of Sea of Cinders.

This poor seedling has had a rocky ride. It's first year it was so puny I thought it would die. It bloomed with a scape about six inches high with one bud, but it was the most brilliantly colored seedling in the whole bed. The next year, it was as big as its neighbors and produced these wonderful flowers. We moved it and its two fans were four in the spring. I was so excited, but then it was hurt by the late frost. It recovered and bloomed but its blooms weren't as nice. I hope it does well this year since it is at the top of the list of my favorites. It is Fox Point X Randall the Runner. Randall the Runner has been tender for us so we are afraid it might have inherited that trait.

I just have to post this next one. It was one of our most promising seedlings from the batch that bloomed for the first time in 2015. The combination of the colors, the large flower, and the huge eye was exciting for us. Alas, this one died over the next winter. That's the hybridizer's life. If it doesn't succumb to the winter, around here the voles eat it. (I do have a few seeds with it as pollen parent and its siblings--it was the only one of the cross to die.)

Pat Garrity X Gavin Petit--RIP

Looking at these seedling pictures has made me long for summer. Still, I have lots to do before summer arrives--seed planting, tag making, bed cleaning. They're not the exciting things about daylily growing, but they have to be done.

Nancy

Thanks Nancy! I love seeing all your seedlings! The ones that stand out to me in your last post the most are Belle of Ashwood x Shores of Time and Fox Point x Randall the Runner. I do love Shores of Time babies! The Fox Point seedling has such terrific color. I hope it won't be tender. May they multiply and prosper!

Debra

Mary Todd X Ruby Spider

Dragon's Orb X Red Magic

Spell Fire X Red Magic

Sure do enjoy seeing all of these. When my dearly beloved and I started doing crosses, we were always intrigued at how different the offspring could be. In our Zone 3 climate it can take a while to see results. Sometimes we can quickly decide, No thanks. At other times, what started out promising, after a few years, can turn into, Not as great as we had hoped for. We have a small yard, with room in our seedling bed for around 50 plants, so we have to be fairly ruthless. So far the ones posted near the beginning of this thread show the most promise. Thanks for the comments.

Edward, I love the daylilies in the first picture! I hope you show some more of yours.

The dark on is In My Pink High Heels by Judy Davisson. The clump is Belle of Ashwood X Belle Cook. It is the prettiest shade of pink in my garden.

This year I should be blooming something completely different - out of Rice's Shattered Glass.

Edward - Your pinks are so pretty!

Here are images of a few more seedlings I am watching .

Debra the purple and white seedling you like above ......I dont seem to have a record of the stats or I cant find them at the moment . I do know that although lovely , for me i would like to put that face on a much taller daylily . It comes in around 2 ft tall ......now if it was 4 feet tall that would be my kind of daylily! It is an early mid bloomer and blooms prolifically . I guess I dont pay that much attention to it cuz it is so short and my focus is tall daylilies .

This one is an ashy grey pink ....Hard to capture with the camera . It just makes me swoon.

This is a sib to the purple an white shown previously in another post but this one doesnt pinch like the other and this one has a purple edge with some patterning on the sepals.

This one didnt look great this past season (this is a previous seasons picture) I am guessing it wasnt getting enough water ...it just looked washed out this past season

I do have some doubles but I am not wild about the look of a lot of them . This one is a pretty seedling with a nice soft peachy pink fully double bloom 100 % of the time . This form of double I do like . The ones with the bits and bobs of plant material in the center just dont do it for me .

AKopp79 I really like your blooms from your cross Spell Fire X Red Magic . I see some veining in those and I love that in a bloom .

Edward , your pinks are lovely. I think my favourite is the one with the more intense pink color . The blooms also look like they have a lot of substance to them so wouldnt "melt" in the heat which might not be a problem down east but sure would be a problem here . If you ever want to trial a piece here I would love to trade a piece of one of my seedlings to see how it does down east .

Signet - The purple and white at 24 inches would still make a nice front-of-the border daylily. The sib is nice too, and has an even better sepal pattern, but it doesn't grab me like the shorter one. Maybe that's because I'm seeing it in a clump. On your latest post, #3 and 4 really appeal to me.

Debra

I too like 3 & 4 in your latest post, Signet.

I cannot say this enough: kudos to all of you who do this!! These are just spectacular and certainly outshine (in looks anyway) many of the registered expensive ones I have seen. I would love to have any of these in my garden and, like Sherry, hope many of these do get registered. They certainly look worthy.

My thoughts exactly lilykate!

Sherry how lucky are you to have pollinators do the work for you, it is really lovely!

I should leave my scapes up longer!!!

Here are a few of my seedlings:

Sherry Lane Carr x Lingering Splendor

Tainted Love x Kindly Light

Seedling out of AMBER SPYGLASS: I don't like the fly away sepal.

Seedling out of MANDALAY BAY MUSIC

Early opener with thick substance. The color is accurate.

NEON FLAME x SOUTH SEAS: Near impossible to get an accurate picture. This is one hot bloom.

METAPHYSICAL MOMENT x SMOOTH JAZZ (This is a cross of two lavender/purples with eyes. I double checked my records to make sure. It has a yellow edge around the petals. I like it.)

Thanks for looking.

David

daylilybedmaker , Some lovely blooms above . You mention getting an eye and an edge on a diploid. I was not aware that that was not a dominant trait for a dip . Yout bloom is lovely and I like the color of the eye even if you don't . I especially like #'s 3 , 4 , 7, 8 and 10 . You do good work!

So many beautiful seedlings!

David, I really like your last three. The lavender one with the purple eye has a nice shape to that eye. I would love to see the next one in person. I think sometimes the camera doesn't how 'hot' an orange one really is. The last one is lovely. We got a white out of two lavenders, one of which has a dark eye.

Memorial to Steve X On the Border

Signet, from your last post I like #2, #3, and #4. #2 has a beautiful pattern. I love how it is so prominent on the sepals. #3 has an amazing richness of color. I hope that shows up for you this season. Your double is pretty. I agree with you about the petaloids. We don't grow many doubles, but when we do we like a full double or a hose-in-hose double.

Edward, your pinks are lovely. I especially like the last one because of its nice edge and really broad petals.

Akopp, you have some lovely reds. I especially like a red/orange with a darker eye. My favorite is #3. I really like the midribs, especially the ones on the sepals.

Nancy

Wow , Nancy what a lovely daylily ....hard to believe it came from 2 lavender parents .......the x of the two colors must cancel out the color on the offsring . Who knew that could happen!

David - Nice ones! Numbers 7 and 8 really captivate me.

Not a seedling any more, this was my first registration: Arlene Welsh. Since then I have registered three others.

That daylily has soooooo much going on . Arlene must be so pumped about having a daylily registered by you in her honor . She is a lovely lady! I know cuz I have met and bought daylilies from her .

Congrats on all your regisitrations , would love to see pics of the others. I have considered registering a few of mine but balk at the price of registration. Just seems like a lot of money $20 US per plant to have someone record a name and stats on a computer program , scan in a photo ............... takes what about 3 minutes max? and does any of the money for the Canadian registrations come back to either the Canadian or Ontario Daylily societies?.

Ditto what Signet said about your daylily Arlene Welsh. I too would like to see your other registrations.

Candy Chute .....blooms look so soft and pretty but looks like it has a nice hefty plant underneath it with plenty of buds. Just wonderful Edward
