Saturday's Selection

8 years ago

The star of the garden today is a seedling. This is Oktoberfest X (Pat Garrity X Gavin Petit). The color is quite nice and I like the shape of the eye.

Bite Me had a decent flower open today. Yesterday's was a lopsided polytepal that the thrips had devoured. This one has thrips damage but it's a nicer flower. This plant is a horse--big leaves and tall scapes. It seems quite hardy even though it's southern-bred. It's one of Dan Hansen's.

These next two are Curious Cutie X Geometric Wizard. Both parents have quite a patterned eye, but these seem to have taken a step backward with a smaller area of pattern. Maybe that's because they are first year seedlings.

This is Curious Cutie X Peeble in a Pond. The base color is dirty, but the eye was bluer than it looks in the pictures. It has a strange area of stippling around the eye. Please disregard my hand.

That's all that was photo worthy today.

The first seedling is really striking in color, eye and edge. Bite Me looks like a great toothy purple, and it's interesting to see what you are getting on the mini patterns.

I have had several orange daylilies like Hot Lava, Fiesta Flirt, and a couple more. They are pretty, but just did not live more than 3 years. For it vigor alone, Oktoberfest is my favorite. I bet that will be a great day lily. I really like your patterned seedling and will be interested to see what they do next year.

The first is a winner if the bud count is better than parent Pat Garrity.

Love the seedlings, especially those by Geometric Wizard. I have 5 seedlings of your Geometric Wizard - all look healthy. Thanks especially for those seeds, as well as the others. :)
