Some more great work again! I do have a few favorites seedling number two, number four and number five. I love the edge on the bright red one, I’m still trying to decide if I like the big teeth on daylilies. My main concern here is opening properly, love them in your and Nancy’s garden.

Sherry

Sherry - Thanks for sharing your favorites! I love big white teeth on daylilies. The bigger the better. Gold teeth don't do much for me.

Debra

All the Sunbear x Julie look good. The nice clump of #1 doesn't hurt it's appeal. My favorite however goes to the full figure girl, Blazing Francis. The color looks vibrant. An orange red on my screen. I bet it stands out in this cool weather............Maryl

I agree with everything Maryl said! Give me big, ruffles and bright color and you got me! Beautiful.

These are lovely Debra. How old are the seedlings?

Maryl - Yes, "Blazing Francis" is an orangey red. The color is ultra vibrant.

Julia - The first five are two-year old seedings. The Sunbear x Julie Newmar seedlings are 6 or 7 years old. I've lost track. The last one is a two-year old.

When I started with daylilies I started with spiders and UF's I still lean towards those shapes even though I am enjoying some more rounded blooms these days. That being said my choice in the seedlings is your very first image. The second image would be my second choice ( love the pleating on it ) and the colors on both are fantastic . The next would be Sunbear X Julie Newmar 1 . You are getting some really lovely seedlings.

Thanks for your comments, Heather!

Debra

You have some great seedlings from S. Francis Busby, I like the color. On paper I pick a red/red over orange red any day. But in the garden I think the orangey color attracts more attention. I do like the toothy one, but for the color and the teeth.

One two and four. How beautiful your seedlings are.

Thanks Kay. I'm surprised there's so much love for the orangey reds.

Debra

Nancy6B - In general, I much prefer the blue reds to the orange reds. But there are some, like SC Francis Busby that just knock my socks off.

I'm a fan of the first one, although they are all lovely. I like the form and the color, along with the gentle ruffling of the edges. I bet it's a beacon in the garden.

Celeste, Heather and others who like the first one. That one's a little two long petaled for me. But it shows me I need to make the cross again and try more seeds with those parents.

Debra

I do hope that first one makes it to intro. that is my kind of bloom to fall in love with.
