Hi All, Thanks for all the kind comments... Seedling 003 keeps changing its eyezone... all of them being very cool! First year to bloom, so I need to keep an eye on it over the next year. Seems like the hot weather made the eyezone more intense. Mike - I don't know how you make it! I was going out every day in MARCH... thinking, it is spring already... bloom dang you! :o) I bet they are building up their strength to put on a real show for you. Jacqueline - That Going Bananas is a monster bloomer. If you can ever get your hands on some, you should. Each clump has 10 scapes up at a time. 17 blooms today on three small clumps. Beautiful form, and the picture does not do the yellow color justice - is it super bright and clear. Stands out from the crowd! Missy - Little Blue Belle is right... sorry. Lrae, I took a chance on Earlene Garber... wasn't exactly sure how it would turn out... I could really only find one picture of it, but mine turned out just like the picture. The pink is kind of irridecent in real life, making the color really beautiful. Thanks Barb... been running around like mad in the mornings! Pictures, pollinating, collecting pollen...whew! Had a really nice weekend away in California - but glad to be back with my DL! :o) Barb... hmmm.... have to think of something! Weaknesses - wine, food (especially baked goods), daylilies! Glad you like seedling 003. Can't wait 'till it multiplies and makes a clump!

Oh, thank you all for the compliments!!! You guys/ladies are always so happy to see pics... the BF is like .. uh,huh... uh, huh. Nice to have somewhere to share them. Ann, Hi Ho Silver is pretty unusual - I have not really seen too many bi-tones that have watermarks too. P.S. It is my PLEASURE to help you addiction along. :o) I have only had Shores of Time since last fall, and this is her first bloom... so I think she will get pinker. I got it from the Lily Auction from OldRep - he also sent along a nice bonus of the Red Eyed Fantasy pictured above. Thanks Ed... they do shine all by themselves, don't they. :o) There are a few more of those seedlings with scapes... stay tuned... I am really liking seedling 003 too... but, I adore bi-tones. Thanks Debra, I really like Hi Ho Silver... when I saw it, I knew I wanted it bad! The scapes are HUGE... I am hoping it has some rebloom this year... I can't wait for yours to bloom either, because I LOVE your pictures.

I really enjoyed this post. Just speaking for myself, I never mind seeing repeats, and I appreciate seeing the problem children along with the stars. NATURE'S CROWN is a beauty. I found myself wondering what the parentage is. Will have to go look that one up. I'm way father south than you are, and I had a lot of buds aborting on Stamile's this year which had bloomed nicely last year. FORSYTH FROSTBOUND is beautiful and I just love bitones. The color on CHORAL FANTASY is so intense, and it is my favorite in spite of not opening well. Christine

Hmmmmm...from the looks of that thread holder, you may have a new addiction!!! These all look good. I like that Fighting Fire. Wild Cherry Wine always draws me. I lost it two years ago and lost two more Bennetts this winter. I could do without the last two but I think I really need to replace WCW!! I thought that last year when I saw photos on this forum from different people. Mine was never strong and probably in the wrong spot. I like Louisiana Jones as well. Kate
