I really like White Tooth x Skater 4 and 5 seedlings. Razor Sharp x Spacecoat Night Vision also captures my eye. I guess I am in a purple mood today.

David

The past two days I decided to photograph some combos of blooms in the garden.

Seedling Integrated Logistic X Sugar Magnolia and Mystic Maize.

TNT is dancing around the last Sugar Magnolia bloom.

Serrated Sentinel, White Ambrosia, and reblooms on Sensational Heart

Sun Temple Spirit and Unity Consciousness

There's A Place looking a bit faded by the hot temps. The eye is usually bluer.

Clarification with its last hurrah. It had outstanding performance this year.

Debra

I really like those White Tooth x Skater, especially 4 & 5. There's a Place is really pretty in the clump

You have such beautiful seedlings! And how nice that they rebloom! I really like them all but my favorite are Pink Extraordinaire X $exy Samantha and Scarlet Angel X Barbara Mandrell

Lovely combos especially the one with White Ambrosia. My favorite combo in DLs is whites with reds.

Hi Nat! Good to see you posting again! Thanks for your comments about the seedlings. I am thrilled that so many of them have instant rebloom.

Nancy - White Tooth 4 and 5 are my top favorites of that cross. I like 3 too, mainly because it holds its color so well on days in the mid and high 90s. This is the first year that There's A Place really had enough blooms for clump shots. It's not a strong plant, but it has a knockout face.

David - Thanks for your comments. I like purples and pinks equally well.

Debra

Mau favorites…Samantha X Bubblegum #1, then Pink Aloha X Bubblegum and Scarlet Angel X. Generally I am not a fan of the teeth it seems, prefer the softer look.

Those combinations are cool!

Sherry

The Razor Sharp and Scarlet Angel seedlings are really striking. Of course I like the ponk seedlings as well. Such a pretty photo of There’s a Place!

It's fun to see which seedlings different people like! Thanks for the comments.

Kate - The Razor Sharp and Scarlet Angel seedlings were plagued so much by thrips this season I couldn't get good pictures of them on the original scapes. I was glad they had clean rebloom flowers. Both have grown into big clumps now.

Debra

Beautiful seedlings. I especially like White Tooth X Skater and Pink Extraordinaire X Sexy Samantha. I like the combos too--neat idea.

Nancy

Sherry - You picked two of the prettiest pink seedlings as your favorites. The Scarlet Angel seedling is a pretty one when it has clean blooms. It does seem to attract thrips though. It's clumped up nicely and has gotten `18 buds on a scapes two years ago, but I'm on the fence about registering it. It doesn't look good when night temps are lower than 65, but when temps are in the high 60s and 70s, it's very pretty. I'm glad you liked the combos!

Debra

I like all the white tooth seedlings but 5 is my favorite.
(Symphony of Praise X Henry Lorraine) X Bubblegum Delicious and Pink Aloha X Bubblegum Queen Are my favorite pnks. I like your seedling better than Pink Aloha itself. And, of course, I like the red seedling. Sun Temple Spirit looks huge, very pretty. The groupings and the clumps are all so pretty. Nice post, Debra.

kay

Kay - White Tooth 5 has the best face, but the plant habits of 3 and 4 are better. I really like the bloom on Pink Aloha X BQ, but the plant habit needs to improve. I'm looking forward to the sibling blooming - whenever that might be. Sun Temple Spirit has become a favorite because it performs well each year no matter what the weather throws at it.

Debra

Seedlings are so pretty and you do have a talent for picking crosses. Combo picks are nice to see. Hot and humid seems to not let up even for us here.

Julia

Julia - Thanks for your nice comments. I hope you get a break from the heat and humidity soon. We're supposed to be cooler on Saturday and Sunday.

Debra

Your pink seedlings are always so pretty. I like all the selfs but the one that catches my eye this go around and in this mood is the Pink Extraodinaire x seedling. Looks like large yellow ruffles and I'm usually a sucker for those on a pink daylily............The Sun Temple Spirit photo is so bright. It lights up the post. There's A Place may have muted colors, but what a clump of lavender blooms there is...............Maryl

Maryl - The Pink Ex seedling has white edges when it first blooms, but when temps climb into the 90s, the edges turn gold. I prefer it with the white edges. All the dog walkers who come by comment on Sun Temple Spirit and say their eye is always drawn to it in the late season.
