Seedlings in a line

9 years ago

I have no illusions of being a well-known hybridizer...I just enjoy playing with genetics. :: shrugs ::


This is a group of full sibs & half sibs...F1-F3s.



This one is short this year, for having been nicknamed 'tall lav'.


Very nearly white. Excited to play with this one.

Yellow edge-no-eye thing going on.


Hasn't been easy to set pods this year. Very cool, then wet. Then hot.

And then there's my puppy who pulled up all my labeling...

    You look like a hybridizer to me!!! These all look great-love the edges. And yes, I would be someone who would gladly purchase these for my garden. Great work!

    I really like the look of the next to last picture. I am working on the edge no eye look in dips. Is that seedling a dip or tet? I have many dips that I am working with, but not many tets.

    You have very nice seedlings--I especially like the edge-no eyes and the white, lovely.

    Lovely seedlings! I am especially fond of the yellow edged one and the nearly white, just wonderful! Amazing results!

    Beautiful!

    Kate you're too sweet!


    Another couple not above.


    I've yet to decide what to do with this one...it's got an orange throat, which isn't my favorite...but the coloring is otherwise very soft and pretty and it doesn't hang up as much as some other ultra ruffly ones I've bred.

    Sherry, the yellow edged one is sadly a bit short in scape (but sends up lots of scapes to make up for it)...the white one is nice and tall and took my breath away when it had FFO (this year :D)

    This one is not my favorite in the line but this is a decent-y shot of the branching that most have shown.

    I suck at counting branching though.


    I appreciate everyone's kind comments :D I lost sooooo much work last year when our dog got so very ill then passed...then we got the puppy who ate all the markers and my flats of seedlings just died. I'm back on it, but it's been really "real" if that makes sense.

    Anika , I really like your "not ultra ruffly " one with the orange throat !The green is deep down in the throat and I love how it fades to the yellow/ orange and then the mauve band around all that . It really is a gorgeous bloom !

    Last one in first group is striking with the purplish edge. Of course, color isn't everything.

    Very pretty, I like them all!

    All are very nice. My favorites are the near white and the last eye and edge with the orange throat. Green throats are overdone now, in my opinion. I enjoy orange and yellow throats.

    The edge no eye is really pretty.

    Nice group of seedlings.

  • 9 years ago

    I'm with you, just fun to play and make my own daylilies for free. ha! great choices. I really like the second one. :)

  • 9 years ago

    Nice seedlings! I especially like the edge/no eye ones and the second one. It has a very interesting edge.

    And by the way, every well-known hybridizer started out just like you. You can contribute something as interesting to the daylily world as they can. I think maybe us little guys have more fun at it because we are not trying to make a living at it.
