Horns and Thorns is my favorite of the registered daylilies. What glorious colors, and how great that ir thrives in your northern garden. That's one I may have to add. Of the seedlings, the one I like most is Back Draft X Sam Abel. With the high bud count, sounds that that one will be an intro. I love the photo of the red and white row and your story of "The Jumble."

Nice seedlings! I am almost afraid to see mine bloom - I'm sure I will have the same thing happen here - great plant ugly flower. And probably also not great plant and ugly flower :) At last count, I have 7 with scapes. Speaking of the Jumble, I graduated from high school with Jeff Knurek, the cartoonist of the Jumble. Interesting, I know! ;)

Nancy, great seedlings again, I have two favorites today. Bodacious Bite X Lined in Lavender and Back Draft X Identity Crisis. I like the plants with pinched? Petals.

Backdraft x and Bodacious Bitex both look pretty good to me too.........Maryl

I am with Sherry, those are my 2 favorite seedlings, but I love Horns and thorns too. I am not as focussed at hybridizing as you, it makes me feel a little better. My best looking flowers are on short scapes, but then that can be said of some named varieties in my garden too.

Pleasantly surprising that a more recent Lambertson should like the North. I think the red/white flower is a niche that needs to be filled in the North.

I like your Bodacious Bite X Lined in Lavender. Fox point X Randal the runner is a beautiful bloom ss, so sad the plant doesn't deserve it. I do Like Horns and Thorns.

Love your Back Draft x Sam Able (one of my garden favorites). Let me know if you introduce it. Like BB x LL and BD x IC.

Impressionist Sky makes a lovely clump. Favorite seedling is Bod. Bite/Lined In Lavender.
