New exciting 1st time seedling, need advice, +other FFOs

4 years ago

I am so excited over this one. Sugar Magnolia x Bali Watercolor. 10" x 24", deep plum purple, ext. early 6 buds. Excellent for a first ever bloom. What shape would you say the bloom is?

FFE This is a seedling Karen gave me 2 years ago. She in in process of registering it. You can't see it in the photo, but the diamond dusting is more [brighter and totally covers it ] than I've ever seen! Quite a beauty. I accidentally had a filter on on my camera but the color of the actual daylily is true.

Actually Bali Watercolor. Pales beside the seedling.

That's a pretty seedling with great color, Brad! I'm sure it will get taller in future years. The UF form looks to be a pinched crispate. I never thought of using Sugar Magnolia in a cross like that.

Nice seedling, Brad. I would add the term cascade as well since the sepals curl. It is possible to include both terms (crispate-cascade) when registering it.

I also like Little Business--rich color!

The big greenish throat on the Karen seedling is appealing. What do you think the parentage might be?

Thanks all for the nice comments. Mantis, Karen gave me no info on it or the other 2 she gave me [she's not registering them]. I will ask her. I want to send her the picture so she can see it in Ky as well as in central PA. She's not on here much anymore but she is on garden.org as kousa.

Karen responded. Her daylily polys about 50% of the time for her, and after established it reblooms well. It is Curtis Noel x Red Star of Krypton Sounds like a winner to me!
