So far, it has been an amazing year here for seedlings. There are so many good ones it is hard to get pictures of all of them. Today was no exception so I'll post the royal court rather than a queen.

Orchids for Minnie X Wolverine caught my eye this morning. It has good height and decent bud count. This is its second year to bloom, but I don't remember it looking this good last year.

My Friend Mary Jane X Crimson Stories made its appearance today. We were worried about this one as My Friend MJ has turned out to be one of the puniest plants in the garden and Crimson Stories is a southern. It came through the winter ok and is bigger than last year.

I like the really dark ones so I crossed Snidely Whiplash with First Addiction. I like the result.

I compared this seedling with Dr Jules Michael Vinkman, it pod parent. The eye is smaller but it has a better edge. The other parent is Empire of Dawn and Dusk X Ruby Lipstick.

I don't want to bore anyone with the seedlings so I'll post just one more. This is Mississippi Memento X Spacecoast Perfect Angel. It's not a mini, but I thought it was a nice small flower.

That's enough for today.

I like all three of these, but if you put them together my eyes would explode. Riot Act, Royal Renaissance and Stop the Car.......Better by Design is a nice one, and Your Mary Jane x seedling is my favorite of that group......Maryl

Drop-dead gorgeous seedlings.....well done! My favorite of the named daylilies is Riot Act, especially with the wet droplets on it. What color! Anything with raindrops right now is appealing to me. It's so dry here.

So many beautiful blooms! Of your seedlings, the Dr JMV baby is my favorite, but they all look very nice.

Nancy,

I really like the SNIDELY WHIPLASH x FIRST ADDICTION seedling. It is certainly something I would grow. Nancy, do you happen to have the contact information for the hybridizer of PINEAPPLE BITES? I would love to get a piece of it at some point in time.

What a beautiful post, Nancy! First I really like Where's Waldo; I'm a sucker for huge eyes. Better bu Design is a beauty, and I like Tidewater Elf, and Riot Act, but your seedlings are the stars today. Orchids for Minnie X Wolverine, the Snidely Whiplash Cross is something, and both of the others are lovely.

These are all gorgeous! You did get some great photos. I like the coloration on Riot Act and also the huge watermark on Worlds Collide. But, WOW! on all your seedlings. They are beautiful.

Great Nancy. My faves are Riot Act, Orchids x Wolverine, and Snidely x First.

Of the registered ones, my favorites are Overnight Flight, Remembered Kisses and Sweet Dixie. Of the seedlings, the Snidely Whiplash seedling has me drooling. Sign me up for that one! The other seedling that impresses me most is Dr. Jules X your seedling. I like the color, eye and edge on that one!

Debra

Gosh, where to start. Love Riot Act and Better by Design, could mention some others, but I like your seedlings so much! I like the Orchids for Minnie seedling, but the Snidely Whiplash seedling is wonderful!

Another big thumbs-up for the Snidely Whiplash seedling - amazingly beautiful color and shape!!! Love the other seedlings as well!

Alex

So many interesting ones here. Keep us informed about Sweet Dixie--such dramatic colors. And I too like the SW seedling. Your program is exciting.

You always have lots of wonderful blooms, but Riot Act just blows me away I just researched it, see it is a Paul Owen, don't have any of his, this may be a first. Also, it is listed as a polychrome which surprises me.

Beautiful seedlings! I keep looking through the photos. Another vote for the Snidley Whiplash seedling. Riot Act, Worlds Collide, and Where’s Waldo are my top three picks, but all are lovely.
