Beautiful! I am glad Linda Beck is doing well for you. It's either Asian Fairy Bluebird or Linda Beck for me today.

Cowgirl is adorable...I love her eyes, what a neat color for a cat to have.

That edge on Asian Fairy Bluebird is so pronounced -- it's beautiful. And your UF seedling is very impressive.

Patsy Cline is pretty and makes me think of cantaloupe. And I like your crispate seedling.
Christine

Great flowers I really like the purple's and lavenders to. I don't know Cowgirl sure looks happy lounging on the table.
Linda

The Blazing Saddles seedling is my favorite but I also really like the first 3. Cowgirl looks like a very happy, relaxed cat! Marg

I look forward to your posts since I know I will be in for a treat. These are wonderful. I love them ALL. That first seedling is extraordinary. I love everything about it and that pinching is perfect. That is a daylily I would buy! The color on Patsy Cline is eyecatching. But as always, cats steal the show and Cowgirl is a beauty. She has such a pretty face with so much expression. Love her!

Celeste

Chris, Christine, Marg and Celeste - Thanks for the shout outs to my crispate seedling!

Kay - Thanks so much for Linda Beck. The plant you sent me is doing so much better than the one I got from Maryott. I do love Cowgirl's amber eyes. Her siblings all have green/gold eyes.

Christine - Patsy Cline's color IS very much like a cantalope.

Celeste - Cowgirl does have a sweet, expressive face. She's expressive in other ways to - like with her voice. She's very vocal and talks and urrs all the time.

Well, no wonder you like those lavenders and purples, they are gorgeous. But I really am having to go for the melon color of PATSY CLINE today as my favorite. A lovely, lovely daylily.

Honestly Cowgirl looks to be so sweet with that expresive face. She wants mommy to pay attention to her!

I like purples too! Asian Fairy Bluebird is so pretty and colorful. Your crispate seedling is very very nice.
Cowgirl is a pretty girl :) She doesn't want to go outside at all?

That Asian Fairy Bluebird is so richly colored! Amazing what nature can make. Cowgirl is so cute. :)

Asian Fairy Bluebird is probably my favorite, although Linda Beck is really pretty too. I love your seedlings too, I always like the spidery/UF types. The best picture is Cowgirl.

I love your flowers, and your kitty! Love your awesome artist x blazing saddles seedling, Navaho Talisman, and all the rest! Your purples are so true! Most daylilies I thought would be purple were not as true as yours. Are Asian Fairy and Linda Beck large blooms? Everything is gorgeous!

Nat - Cowgirl is very happy being an inside cat. She never tries to go outside. The one time she got out was in winter. It was snowing, one of her siblings hissed at her, and her mother totally ignored her. Once we got her back in the house, she never wanted out again. Her brother, Zuzu, visits her everyday at one of the windows, and she seems OK with that. Her mother, Tuxie, will come inside for brief visits. But Cowgirl's three siblings are afraid of being inside.

Missylin - I photograph most purples in the shade, and they look more blue purple. The sun tends to bring the red out in the purples. However, Asian Fairy Bluebird looks blue purple even in the sun. It is registered as a 5.5 inch bloom. Linda Beck is registered as a 6-inch bloom.

Debra

Somany pretty blooms, love ASIAN FAIRY BLUEBIRD, and LINDA BECK is a beauty.MY favorite bloom is BUSY EAGER BEAVER. BUT, cOWGIRL really steals the show.She has the sweetest expression..

jean

Asian Fairy Bluebird really is one of the best looking cultivators Ive ever seen, even to this day. Its something Ive used in my program quite a # of times.

However, I love LOVE your Awesome Artist X Blazing Saddles

I would definetly tag that as a keeper, seeing that in a clump shot in 3 years or so would be awesome!

Silverkelt

I just realized I typed the wrong name of the parent of my crispate UF seedling. It should be Awesome APPLIQUE X Blazing Saddles. Both Awesome daylilies are by Lambertson.

Debra

What a story about Cowgirl. Here's to a long happy comfortable life for her inside where she's safe. It's fun to be outside for a cat, and I have one indoor/outdoor cat myself, but it worries me too....And your daylilies are beautiful as always. I like the color on Patsy Cline alot. Looks like it has alot of substance to the petals. And Linda Beck is new for me this year and hasn't bloomed yet, but if she looks like yours I'm in for a treat.....Maryl

Debra, they are extraordinary but I like the Awesome Artist x Blazing Saddle best of all. A very beautiful seedling...Ellie

I love your first seedling! Is it a very large bloom?

Lisa,
Yes, Awesome Applique X Blazing Saddles is about 8 inches in diameter.

Debra

Debra, thanks for answering about your kitty. It's so nice that she's happy inside! We got a new kitten, and I wanted him to be an inside only cat, but.. as soon as he found out what outside is and how great it is (he thinks), there's no way you can keep him home. I am glad there are such cats that don't want to go out! I've only heard about one more like this.

Nat - It's amazing that Cowgirl has adapted so well to indoor life. Most cats who have lived outside for any length of time want to be outside at least part of the time. She's quite content to stay indoors, as long as she gets plenty attention and play.

Debra

I came back to look at that seedlings again debra,

I have to say , the face to me is just amazing, without seeing the plant habits, the face itself blows the best UF crispates I know out of the water, rasberry griffin and carnival mask.

Its totally name worthy!

Silverkelt

Silver Kelt - It's a first-year seedling with only 9 buds out of the gate. Most of my seedlings improve on bud count and branching the second year. It has places on the scape where three side lateral could emerge, so I am hopeful.
