I am almost at peak already. So many early. Going to do some siblings.

The first 3 are Laura Harwood x my unregistered seedling First Light. I moved them and they love the new location.

South Seas x Primal Scream 1, 22 & 12 buds each, 3 blooms every day without fail. Love it.

Egyptian Ibis

Do the Twist, one of the few that isn't having an extra good year. Low bud count.

Joan Senior was really white today as it is most times.

Impetuous Fire. Usually one bloom a summer shows a little doubling. This year many do.

Blessed art Thou x Great white from Debra. Finally starting to increase. It is finally up to 4 plants & scapes after many years of just two. But quite pretty

Lavender Frost

Highland Pinched Finger

Enough for now.

I agree that the Blessed seedling is quite nice. The Laura Harwood seedlings, though, deserve prominence, as their richness of color, radiating throats, end midribs attract attention.

Mantis, thanks for your specific comments of the Laura Harwood seedlings. I really do like them too and they were not doing well where they were planted. This new location has really perked them up!! They are excellent at increase, especially the first 2.

All the Laura Harwood seedlings are nice but I am really drawn to the third one. Egyptian Ibis is a nice color.

Nice seedlings. The Laura Harwood kids are all pretty, but #3 is my favorite. South Seas X Primal Scream was a great idea for a cross. While that first one has the good stats, #3 is my favorite face of those. I always appreciate the elegance of Egyptian Ibis.

All your seedlings are pretty, but count me a fan of the South Seas x Primal Scream seedling. Unique colors. How's it doing for you overall? I wish you could test for color stability in the heat. Usually that's the problem I encounter here. They just fade, or limp away when it gets to summer............Maryl

Maryl, South Seas x Primal Scream is doing wonderfully well here during our run of days of 92-95 temps with a heat index of 102-105. I need to get an end of the day picture, but at a glance, I've seen no change in one or two; the eye of three is just a bit faded.

Julia, I pick Highland Pinched Finger at a daylily garden about 7 years ago. I went to a place with a goal to buy ONE inexpensive flower due to the budget. I looked around the garden first from far off and it was clearly the most visible one in her garden. As I walked around the garden, my eyes kept going back to it.

Kate & Debra, Laura Harwood 3 is my favorite too. This year it finally has a respectable number of buds. Previous years it only had 3 or 4.
