Oh my gosh. You sure must have some daylily magic going to get so many lovely blooms so early. Wonderful daylily shots.

Susie, thank you so much for that thought-filled and prayer-full response. The blue vase and cows were bought the day after that Black Saturday and I remember thinking that if nothing else, I'm gonna have some 'junk'. I kept those things at my feet in the car for the entire 3 weeks the fires were threatening. I did find some comfort looking at them. As for the glass bottles (I don't know if they're crystal or not - how can you tell?), I have been buying glass, oval plates because I want to make an oval totem and thought those guys would be perfect since they're also oval in shape. But I don't know how I'll put them together. I just keep buying glass for totems but haven't gotten around to making any. Sunny - the cow creamer isn't Delft and one of its horns is chipped. I'm thinking of using it as a succulent planter for my kitchen window beeeecause.... Yes, Jeanne, the cows are perfect for my blue & white kitchen - that I will one day get to doing! About 2 days ago I finally took those cows out of the car and pull out the stoppers to wash the grubby things and found that they were filled with salt & pepper. Can you imagine?! I don't think I'd sell shakers with s&p still in 'em. In the last pic are two plates that have a blue tinge to them and I'll use them when I make a totem with the blue vase from the first pic. Poured like crazy today... YIPEEEE!!!!... so haven't put the fairies in the Fairy garden yet. My Fairy house fell apart in the last wind storm we had so I also have that to fix, too. Happy y'all enjoyed the 'junk'. I know how much I LOVE looking at everyone's finds and it's great to reciprocate!

Hey squirrelypete, I'll see you at the AL swap. I'm in Bham now but I still lurk here since I came from GA. Anyway, the AL swap os May 20th at Oak Mtn State Park. People generally don't sell things, preferring to swap stuff, but it doesn't have to be other plants. I'm swaping one lady a needlepoint kit for some of her plants. It's best to just contact the individual people and see if you can work something out. Most people are generous, especially to newbies. Michelle H

Technically speaking, they will never be fully dehybridized in that they will still have genes from both of the parents of the hybrid. I guess that what you are doing is reselecting traits to go back to the best observable traits of the originals. If you are looking to have the same genes of the originals all around, you will need to actually get some of that seed and work with that. ***** So true. When I started to dehybridize Big Boy, hybridized by Dr. Oved Schifriss when he was at Burpee , I was doing so to try to get out the one parent, Teddy Jones, a large pink heirloom from the midwest. And Dr. Schiffriss told me that I'd be doing well if I got out perhaps 80% of the genes, no more. But if a dehybridized version walks and talks, for the most part as does the hybrid, based as you say on observable traits and I'll add taste, that's good enough for me and I assume for some others. When I dehybridized Ramapo F1 I got good looking stuff at the F2 and I had F1 plants or seeds to use at each generation for comparison. And yes, I did see the other parent. It didn't really help that I knew both parents for Big Boy and Ramapo, though. And there was one person to whom I distributed the F2 and F3 seed who had grown the F1 in NJ and said that he couldn't tell the difference. I felt the same way since my father used to grow Ramapo F1 many years ago so I knew it from way back. Carolyn

Re the brushed nickel finish -- I hope that it holds up since I have that on all my handles and the faucet in the kitchen! But, I do have a *very* cheap BN faucet in my bath; $30 I think it was... it has been there 10 years (at least, I don't quite remember when I put it in) and it was perfect until my DD moved back in and started abusing it. I caught her banging her razor on it to clear it, and maybe that combined with some of her face products (like salicylic acid in the pimple cream) has started some spots where the finish has turned blackish.

Oh Wow! They are all so pretty. I'm kind of partial to pinks and peaches so the first two really grab me. It's wonderful to know that somebody's getting blooms. I don't even have scapes!

I really enjoy seeing all the different colors that come out of one cross. Thanks for sharing.

Your daylilies are lovely. I have Seminole Wind. Love it.
I moved quite a few of mine last summer and bought a few on the lily auction, so am looking forward to June when hopefully they will bloom. We had 31o temperatures last night so hope they did not get bit. I cleaned the leaves
away from them last week. Sarah

Thanks everyone! I wish lots of great daylilies for you all to...and soon! We are having more cool weathe now and so yesterdays blooms are still open today! YEA!
I love Ming Toy too...its like Red Velvet in color. And yes it did multiply for me.
My Visual Intrigue had different eyezones tho. The one I posted looked like the color was drained out...but I like the look there. Most of its eyes are wine and looked like it bled into the petals....
Can anyone tell me why the same cross (scale model x paper butterfly) would make 4 different looking blooms? That is strange but nice in a way.
Well I will post more pics as soon as they bloom.
Happy Gardening to you all.

Your cross SMxPB made 4 different looking blooms for the same reason 2 parents make 4 different looking kids. Chromosomes!Each seed has a different combination.
Lovely blooms. Thanks for sharing them. Mine are just starting to poke out of the ground.

Oooh - Savannah Hannah is a gorgeous peach!
Can't decide which of your sdlgs I like better - the yellow is compelling, but the peach looks like a keeper, too.
Isn't it fascinating about how those full siblings can be so different??
Great view of that Visual Intrigue, thank you for the jump start on Spring!
I never knew Ming Toy was such a pretty flower, the seller photos are not 1/2 as nice as yours, thank you very much for sharing all these!

I got ya daylilies here!!!
