Lots of pretty blooms, Debra. My favorite is your seedling Tides Roll In X All Things to All Men. I also like Ripples and Reflections.

I only have one, Applique.

Brad

A few patterned daylilies here.

Stone Palace Divine has a subtle pattern, such a great daylily here.

Quasar Cutie is a smaller bloom, but blooms early. it was a good addition here.

Mysterious Eyes.

Green Eyed Envy did wonderfully this season when others suffered….an early bloomer.

That’s it for me.

Sherry

Sherry, I really like Quasar Cutie!

Brad

Debra, you have some beautiful patterned seedlings! My favorites are the Core Value seedling and the Karelia kid seedling.

We don't grow many patterned ones and I didn't get photos of some of my favorite ones.

Badenoch Jewel has some bands of color. It is a great grower here.

Broadway Mystique is a small flowered tet.

Choose Kind is a rather odd color combination.

Feanorian Lamps is turning out to be one of my favorite patterned ones. It is a diploid.

Generous Spirit so far has been consistent in patterning.

Nordic Sunshine is has several different faces, but I like them all.

Second Horizon seems to have more pattern on the sepals.

Jeeper Creepers looks like it is a good grower. The pattern is variable, but it usually has a pattern.

We planted Thunderbird Dancer is a not-so-great place. It hasn't lived up to its registered stats, but it is rather new so we will give it time. Mike Derrow's daylilies tend to do really well here.

That's all for me.

Debra,

I think I commented on it during bloom season, but I like TIDES ROLL IN x ALL THINGS TO ALL MEN.

I do like some patterned daylilies, but I am not a fan of the canoing in the throat. I prefer petals that lay flat and many patterns like to canoe. I have talked with Ron Reimer about this and that is one of his goals. My other observation is that from a distance, one really can't see the pattern. Since I do like to sell plants when I have an open garden, I find that people are drawn to color, size and form and not a pattern. I find that patterns appeal to the daylily connoisseur. Just my opinion and observation.

FOUR BEASTS IN ONE: First year in my garden.

THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS: Great and consistent performer. (already posted under the pinks).

That is all from my garden.

David

David - I agree that from a distance many patterns are hard to see. But I find them lovely little works of art - like kaleidescopes. I like both of the patterns you posted. I think you did comment on the Tides Roll In seedling when I posted it in June.

Nan - Thanks for the seedling comments! I'm always drawn to Feanorian Lamps. I wonder if Thunderbird Dancer will show more of a pattern once it settles in.

Sherry - Quasar Cutie has beautiful colors and pattern!

Brad - I've been kind of disappointed with Ripples and Reflections since it doesn't show many ripples here. I have used it in hybridizing, so maybe it will produce some ripply kids.

Debra

Debra,

Don't get me wrong, I do like the patterns. They certainly add character to the garden and they are intriguing. I am adding them to the collection. I added THUNDERBIRD DANCER this past August. All I was saying is that when I have the general population visiting the garden, the first that draws someone to a plant is the color or size.

David

I don't grow many patterns but I enjoyed seeing all yours.

Celestial Beauty

Entwined in the Vine

Elemental Shadows

Kingdom Bound

When Hearts Kaleidoscope (new this year)

Kick out the Jams (this and the next one are probably more applique?)

Cobraskin Necktie

Exotic Starfish

Trahlyta

New to my garden this year....Spacecoast Pansy Face

Greywoods Tallyho

Dr. Jules Michael Vinkman

a seedling of mine (Arnold's Daughter x Yoga Man)

David, I think your observations are right on the mark. One must add, of course, that lots of "patterned daylilies" are terribly inconsistent. Indeed, on some of them I have never seen a full pattern. People who buy just on sellers' pictures are likely to be disappointed (the sellers usually try to show as little of the canoeing as possible).

Vertical Horizon had especially good garden appeal

Handwriting on the Wall sometimes shows a broken pattern eye

Beach Party Pedicure always has a pattern, but remains to be seen how it presents as a garden plant. Out of Get Jiggy (a cultivar I love to hate) and Mystical Rainbow).

Are appliques considered patterns? I do like appliques. Quasar Cutie seems to be a consistently patterned cultivar.

David - I do understand what you mean. Color or size are the first things people notice when they first look at a garden.

Mantis - Vertical Horizon does make a nice clump!

Celeste - I'm wowed by your photo of Elemental Shadows. Your Arnold's Daughter seedling is striking!

Debra

David, I understand what you mean about catching one's eye across the garden. That is one of the attributes we look for in an intro. I remember early in our daylily collecting we would go to a garden and see a lovely orange across the way and ask what it was. It was Mauna Loa, one we had already purchased. This happened several times. It really caught your eye.

Celeste, I really like your Arnold's Daughter seedling. I also like Exotic Starfish and Greywoods Tallyho.

Nancy

Mantis, Quasar Cutie blooms are consistent, every one always looks the same as my photos.

Sherry

Celeste you had some doozies! Elemental Shadows and Entwined in the Vine were just two of your standouts!
