The garden shots show your garden was overflowing with flowers this season. I enjoyed seeing those photos. What a lot of nice seedlings you have now! I especially liked the two Sugar Magnolia X Chance Encounter kids, the reverse bitone, and Carmen Renee X Wilson Spider.

Debra

I also liked the Sugar Magnolia x Chance Encounter seedlings. I also really like So Lovely X North Wind Dancer. It looks so delicate. I love the feathered look of the eye. I also love the garden shots with all the blue tags. If you are marking your keepers, you have quite a few.

Debra, actually, the garden shots are yesterday's pictures. My main bed doesn't have much now, but this one, which is mostly seedlings, is popping, with more to start soon. There are a few in that bed that are done.

Brad

Lots of blooms in that seedling bed! You are creating some really pretty seedlings! I really like the Carmen Renee and So Lovely seedlings. The VT Fondly Kin seedling is also eye catching. Good job on all of them.

Pretty lavenders, but I have to go with the clump of Orange Velvet. Sure looks good. What's the orange/red eye with the star on the right?.........And in the category of "if I had room", I've been tempted for a couple of years by you to try some of the autumn colors (oranges) in the VT series. I like that VT Autumn Fires. .......Don't see many yellows. Are they through blooming or are you not a fan of that color?.............Maryl

I love seeing your seedlings, you created some lovely simpler blooms, love them. Great bed shots….looks much better than what I see here.

Maryl, the clump to the right of Orange Velvet is Tuscawilla Tigress.

There are yellow VTs, but I am not a big fan of yellow. I just have just enough yellow to add interest to the whole bed. Also, I got them from Celeste and she did not have any yellow. I do have Ollalie Autumn Gold from the same daylily garden, https://www.daylilygarden.com/ 

It doesn't do well. It has poor foliage, just barely blooms, etc. It used to do well, but no matter what I do to try to fix it, it does poorly. This is its last year here. You are welcome to try it if you want it.

Brad

I like the white midribs that appear in these crosses. What is the one in the foreground of the first garden pic?

Thank you Brad for the offer. But what I like, 99% of the time I don't have room for...... Oh, no wonder it looked good in your bed. Tuscawilla Tigress is one I grew for years. I don't remember it blooming this late. I did like it quite a bit, but it wasn't very colorfast in our heat so eventually it had to make room for new ones to trial. Sure looks good for you though..........Maryl

Mantis, that one is Carmen Renee x Wilson spider. It is a good bloomer so far, hardy. It was taller last year.
