Congratulations on your seed babies!!! I will be starting my seeds next weekend as over the years, based on the kooky weather, I have worked on trying to find the best time to start seeds so that the plants would be at the right size to plant out when the temps have warmed up for summer (I usually try to get them out on or before Memorial Day). I know last year I was a bit late getting started (did it around the 2nd week of April) and the year before, I was about a week too early (starting them around the 3rd week of March, where they were really overgrown before I got chance to plant them out near the end of May). So this year, I'm aiming for the last week of March/first week of April. I have red hot pokers that I started from seed last year and overwintered outside this past winter, and they still have a few green leaves (they form bulbs). I'm hoping they are okay (I kept them mostly dry or barely moist through winter). Am crossing fingers for them! I want to start some scarlet runner beans because they did wonderfully last year and my hummers loved them! Also plan to start some tomatoes, but I'm trying to decide which ones to do this year from seeds that I have from last year.

Yes, I love the orange! And I'd say your right about the parentage too. Lainey

I think my favorite is Twirling Parasol. It looks like a huge bloom. The red noid and the Susan Weber clumps are very impressive. Snowflake Empress is a pretty one. A friend here has a very large clump of it, and when I toured her garden it looked very white. Debra

Kay - Steven Scott Derrow and Blood of the Martyrs are exactly what I was looking for to cross with my purple seedlings. Three friends on other daylily sites bought Blood of the Martyrs this year, and they are all as happy with it as I am. Sherry - The Into the Mystic seedling is doing well to have six instant rebloom scapes. But it could do better - I'd love to see all 20 fans with rebloom scapes. The two clumps of it I have next to Dearest Valentine have shaded her so much she only has five rebloom scapes this time. I usually get at least six on DV. Debra
