    Thanks, Nancy! Didn't I get Stella from you? I'm embarrassed to say that I can't find my notes!

    It is possible, but I don't keep records like I used to and just can't remember. I have shared it with several people though, every time I do, it seems like the clump doubles in size.

    Those are very pretty, Alex. I especially like Creative Design.

    That's a pretty group. I really like Pattern Maker and Creative Design.

    Me, too, Nancy! I was grateful that they bloomed this season so I could use them on the few things still blooming.

    Pink Platypus looks very good. Both of the patterned daylilies have great potential for using in hybridizing.

    Was sorry that Pink Platypus didn't bloom just a wee bit earlier, so I could have used it more, but I was lucky it bloomed at all!

  • 8 years ago

    Yeah for more rebloom! I also was feeling bloom deprived. My Lee's Loss has sent up a rebloom scape, just waiting for it now..........

    You are getting terrific patterns on Creative Design and Pattern Breaker. Pink Platypus appeals to me too!

    Thanks, Debra! Have to add, though, that this one is Pattern Maker; I only wish it was Pattern Breaker! At the time, the price was too high on the other for this newbie to feel justified in paying - lol.

    Sherry - I've got one more FFE that I am so anxious to see - Destined to See. It's another that was put in this spring, that I wasn't expecting to see bloom. Hope it hurries up!

    Real Beauties Alex, I am liking Pink Platypus more each time I see it which is odd cuz I mostly like in your face bright colors but the soft color combined with the shape of the bloom really calls to me. It's a real girlie girl daylily .

  • 8 years ago

    Heather - ha ha! I prefer to call that girlie-girl-ness, rather, a refined elegance - LOL. Big and buxom, but tastefully voluptuous.

    I looked at them again Alex, and decided I liked Pattern Maker even better than Creative Design. I have a hard time finding a lot of yellows that really appeal to me. Avedon, I think has one and I know Nancy has a couple, but I guess it isn't my usual favorite. As much as I love DEbra's choices, I can't think of a yellow that appeals to me a lot....reds, pinks and purples and Oranges, yes. I love oranges, so have some of those.

    Thanks, Kay. I have to admit that when I bought Pattern Maker, the photo didn't look quite as yellow as the bloom actually is. I've decided I like it better, though, than the photo version. I am more drawn to the background color of Creative Design, however. I wish the pattern of PM was on Creative Design. But it's all OK, as I'm mostly interested in the hybridizing aspect and what each will pass on to prospective partners. Maybe I'll come up with something I like even more than either one of them - here's hoping!
