Some Seedlings

9 years ago

Here are some other seedlings we find interesting.

Back Draft X Sam Abell is a three year old seedling. It will be moved to the select bed this fall. It has tall scapes with good bud count. Unfortunately, it didn't inherit Sam Abell's wide edge.

Sea of Cinders X Tet. Spindazzle is a first year seedling. It's a big flower on a tall scape. Bob loves working with Tet. Spindazzle.

Sea of Cinders X My Friend Mary Jane is also a first year seedling.

Pumpkin Prince X After the Bite is a third year seedling. Unfortunately, I don't think the bud count is very high.

Lava Flow X Sea of Cinders is a first year seedling. I like the shape, but it is a small flower.

Please tell me how Interview with a Vampire X Randy Stephens could possible turn out like this. I think there may be a color suppression gene in daylilies.

Hybridizing can be heart-breaking. I love love love the color on this one, but the plant, which is three years old, seems tender and susceptible to frost. This is Fox Point X Randall the Runner. I had hoped the hardiness of Fox Point could outweigh the tenderness of Randall.

We don't breed for plain yellow, but we don't turn our noses up at them if they come along. This is Bill Norris X Sea of Cinders.

This is a first year seedling--Belle of Ashwood X Puffer Fish.

Another first year seedling--Bass Gibson X God Save the Queen.

More to come . . .

This is Back Draft X either Tet. Rose Kennedy or Heman. My vote is Tet. Rose.

Apricot Symphony X Horns

These next two are siblings--All Fired Up X Goldenzelle.

This one was supposed to be dug up and thrown away two years ago. It was on the end of the row of Notify Ground Crew seedlings that Bob wanted to keep, so we just left it. Now we think we like it. It is Pumpkin Prince X Lemon Fringed Pastel.

This is (Chance Encounter X Forestlake Ragamuffin #1) X Vampire Bat. I have already posted pictures of some its siblings. It's turning out to be a very interesting cross.

Forestlake Becky X Carrots Forever

Triple Cherries gives a lot of doubles. Here is Triple Cherries X Bodacious Bite. It's a pretty flower, but it's on a two inch scape.

Several nice seedlings! I especially like the first one. Pumpkin Prince X After the Bite seedling is very pretty too, what kind of bud count does it get? Love the shape & look of Fox Point X Randall the Runner, I'm a big fan of Fox Point, I guess after 3 years you can tell it is tender. too bad, it looks so nice.

You have a nice variety there. My top three favorites are Back Draft X Sam Abell (strong color contrast), Belle of Ashwood X Puffer Fish (the color of the edge appeals to me) and Interview With A Vampire X Randy Stephens. Is that Randy Stephens kid a polychrome? It looks like it has cream and light pink in it. I'm thinking the Brother Charles genetics came out through Ruffled Strawberry Parfait, a parent to Interview With. Other that caught my eye were the second All Fired Up X Goldenzelle (nice colors and cool triangular sepal markings) and Forestlake Becky X Carrots Forever (pretty soft color with great toothy edge!). I enjoyed seeing your seedling parade!

Great looking seedlings! So glad you shared more photos. Hard to choose a favorite but the top of the list would include Back Draft X Sam Abell, Pumpkin Prince X After the Bite, and the two All Fired Up X Goldenzelle seedlings.

I really like seeing your seedlings. And they are indeed creations! What surprises you have every day when you go out to look. Thanks for posting these. I am a yellow lily lover so I really like the yellow cross but then again, I like them all!
