Weekend Seedlings

4 years ago
last modified: 4 years ago

It's exciting to see the first time bloomers and the improvements on some of the second-year bloomers.

Seedling X Pink Aloha - Maryl, this is the one you liked in past years. It had a five-flower ffo. It's a bit shorter this year and has fewer buds because of the lack rain. I also never got around to fertilizing it this year. Last year it had bud counts in the high 20s. It is a future registration.


Razor Sharp X SC Night Vision - This is one I've shown a lot in the past two years. It looks a bit different here because when night temps are low in the 50s, it starts out with a grayed purple look and then turns darker purple as the temps heat up. After having bud counts of 12-23 last year, it has lower bud count this year. Bah on the lack of rain!


Cowgirl Spurs X Skater - This is one of the only seedlings I kept from that cross. This one has very few teeth, but I liked the color combo. The petal color is a honey gold and the eye and edge are burgundy.


White Tooth X Skater #4 - I like the color and sepal markings on this one. A few days ago the eye showed more of a pattern but the bloom was splotchy.


White Tooth X God Save the Queen - White Tooth throws a high percentage of toothy edges.


Pink Extraordinaire X Cexy Samantha #3 - I predicted this one would be a star when I got a cleaner bloom, and it is! It's such a happy color, and the bloom is 7.5 inches. I like the flower better than either Pink Extraordinaire or Cexy Sam.


Here's Pink Ext. x Cexy Sam 4. It's still have some trouble with insects. I like the burgundy color, the white edge and shape of the bloom. Hoping for a clean flower soon!

    Now for some Dancing Flamingo seedlings. I've shown some of these before as singles, but now I have multiplies.


    Dancing Flamingo x UF #1


    Dancing Flaming X UF #2



    Dancing Flamingo X UF #3 - This is the one most likely to be registered - It's got the UF characteristics, highest bud count and multiplies the fastest.


    Dancing Flamingo X Hannah Marie - This one looked more like a UF last year, but this year the petals are rolling back making a round flower.



    "Nadine" - I think this seed got planted in the wrong cup. I really think it's a Dancing Flamingo kid too, but I can't prove it.


    Buddy's Victoria Jady X Skin of Your Teeth


    Carolina Pale Face X Dearest Valentine #1 has taller scapes and more buds this year!


    Grandma's Smile X Bubblegum Delicious #1


    Grandma's Smile x Bubblegum D #2 ffo - Color is better than the first year of bloom and it is showing a faint watermark this year.



    Core Values X Bowtie Affair


    That's all for now!

    The God Save the Queen and the Cexy Samantha seedling right after it were the ones that most caught my eye. Do the Dancing Flamingo kids tend to be taller than the parent?

  • 4 years ago

    Mantis - The Dancing Flamingo kids are various heights. #2 has a 40 inch scape and is the tallest. #1 is 27 inches tall, and #3 is 32 inches tall. But heights in my garden are off this year because of the lack of May rain. Dancing Flamingo in my garden is never taller than 28 inches.

    Wow! Gorgeous seedlings, really gorgeous. Dancing Flamingo X UF #3 really pretty but I also like Dancing Flamingo x UF #1 and #2. "Nadine" is lovely and does indeed look like Dancing Flamingo. I really like the colors on White Tooth X God Save the Queen. Razor Sharp X SC Night Vision is pretty and Cowgirl Spurs X Skater - is really something in a clump. Pink Extraordinaire X Cexy Samantha is a winner and I think I could comment on each of them. Lovely, Debra!

    Another group of wonderful seedlings! I just don't know where to begin. I love the seedling X Pink Aloha--such beautiful color! I like both White Tooth seedlings as well. You know I like pink so all of the pink ones appeal to me, but especially Pink Extraordinaire X Cexy Samantha.

    How exciting it must be to look at your seedlings every day! I’m with Nancy on the pinks-really like them all-and there are so many different shades and forms. Those Dancing Flamingo kids are really something. Now the other seedlings are not shabby either!’

    Congrats on a lovely group Debra. Those multi bloom ones are stunning.

    Nan and Kate - The pinks are my favorites so I do a lot of pink crosses in all forms. I'm glad you like the pink ones.


    Julia - The more flowers, the more impact. I really enjoyed the seedling clumps this weekend.

    You really do have some great seedlings, I am not sure how you could decide which to register. My favorite pink might be the Pink Extraordinaire x Cexy Samantha, then White Tooth x God Save the Queen, but there is not a dud in the bunch.

    A great bunch! My faves: White Tooth X Skater #4is different in a good way. Love the color combos. "Nadine", color and form and edging. And Pink Extraordinaire X Cexy Samantha #3. I really like the color scheme and form and edge. I have no daylilies with large edges so it is outstanding to me. Also Seedling X Pink Aloha is a great color.

    i'm bookmarking this thread so I can easily find it in the future!

    Brad - Thanks for your comments on the seedlings. I really like White Tooth X Skater #4 a lot. You're right that it has unique look and color combo. Earlier in the season, the eye was patterned. But I didn't post that photo because the sepals were splotchy.
