    Westbourne So Blue Without Teresa/Star Child Seedling #4

    I was very excited to see this seedling in bloom today. There are four plants from this cross and this is the only one with a scape. It's certainly not perfect, the color needs to fill in, but I love the blue eye and green throat. This one stays, and I hope it gets better.


    Here is another seedling that is a definite keeper:

    Mister Butters/Mint Octopus Seedling #4


    MB/MO Seed. #4--two scapes with two almost identical blooms.


    Here is the entire plant. Height is good, about 30", bud count 16-19 and the flowers stretched out would probably hit 9 inches.


    Mantis, I will get back with a post about our exciting and disappointing DLS next time, hopefully soon. I can tell you I am excited about the above daylily.

    Pretty blooms.

    Love your seedlings. Do you start them in winter?

    Rosabelle Van Valkenburgh has such a wonderful pattern! My other favorite is your yellow UF seedling.

    Love Thundercat. I thought hard about getting Get'r Done, but decided to wait. Seems like I have several with that look, but I think I like the look of that one more. Great seedlings!

    Best photo I have seen of Get R Done . Makes me happy that I added it last year and now will see it bloom I like the soft eye and I hope mine turns out like that not the garrish eye I have seen in other photos. Love Roseabelle but unfortunately wayyyyy too short for me . Your yellow/green seedling is a beaut! and I really like Westbourne So Blue Without Teresa/Star Child Seedling #4 too

    This morning when I looked outside, I couldn't miss this--MB/MO Seed.#4 had five blooms. Believe me, this daylily really shows up. The blooms are consistent again in color and they are wonderful--no blotches, and the scapes are holding them up just fine.

    Mister Butters/Mint Octopus Seed. #4


    Another beautiful bloom on Rosabelle Van Valkenburgh. I may make a cross with this one shortly, either Star Child or Little Rainbow.

    Rosabelle Van Valkenburgh

    Ruth, we plant our daylily seeds as soon as the pods mature. They go straight into the ground and then we just hope for the best.

    My favorite lavender:

    Berma Abercrombie--hooray, no blotches.


    This is for Debra--Small World Snow Owl/Malaysian Marketplace Seed. #6.

    It is a large, pale version of Malaysian Marketplace, bloom about six inches.

    Your seedlings are beautiful. Your Mister Butters/Mint Octopus seedling looks wonderfully vigorous--such a good height and budcount! I like the shape of the flowers and the color is nice too. The W. So Blue without Theresa/Star Child has a wonderful eye--so blue!

    Of the named varieties, Rosabelle von Valkenburgh is my pick. Such an interesting flower!

    Thank you. That's good to know. I thought they had to be chilled for about three weeks. I winter sowed a couple of seeds that didn't come up.

    LOL Sherry, I could possibly do that , I am in the process of getting a phyto to ship some plants to Michigan .......so it is not impossible .

    Gorgeous seedlings! MB/MO Seedling #4 really stands out! I hope it continues to do well for you. My other favorites include Thundercat and Berma Abercrombie.

    You aren't kidding about the splotches, but there is always something to be excited about. Certainly, Berma Abercrombie in this batch.

  • 8 years ago

    Avedon, let me also put my vote for MB/MO! excellent flower. I like the last one tool

    I have always had a soft spot for Berma, especially her namesake. Unfortunately she has not reciprocated and I lost her twice. I may need to try again. Love your seedlings!
