Great blooms from the weekend. Of the seedlings I like the red one the best. From the named blooms I love Pandora's Treasure the very best. I have it also and have always thought it is such a pretty flower.

I bought Colorado Moonfire last year because it is incredibly hardy and tough, but was surprised to find out why it has its name - this flower glows! So much prettier in person than its picture. Curious if you see the same thing, Houstmag. Also, it looks like it poly'd for you; I had no idea it would do that.

Rita, I can't believe it either. I don't have nearly as many blooms opened as the others but they are getting there. My seedling usually are the first to bloom and they still have much to go. It's not to hard to take the pics but loading, sizing, uploading to Photo Bucket the adding the in a post takes lots of time..Jim Cooper is really pretty. I have several seedling from that one but I really don't like small flowers much. I do have a few though, mostly seedling when I was " practicing " crosses. I love Tropical Sensation although it's not at it's best right now.. Val, Mother Of Many had her head down and I couldn't get a good shot. The rain beat her up last night. Thanx again, gals....Ellie

Morning Breaks Eternal is among my new favorites, especially considering these flowers are its ffo's. I didn't expect Lemon Fringed Pastel would surprise me with lots of teeth, which is such a good thing. Stippled Statement doesn't pretend to be pretty. But, I agree, it looks so cool it's lovable. A big surprise is Phil Reilly's Hawaiian Passport. It is bigger than the 5.5" flower size. What is nice to look forward to is how Phil has described this plant to be a clumper. Last year, I got it as a single fan with a little nub growth which I broke while planting. It is now 3 fans with 2 scapes and a rebloom scape coming. Very happy with Hawaiian Passport. Crazy Ivan is a plant I do enjoy. It increases very well and for those who like to dab, super fertile. It is also the among the first plants to call the attention of non daylily friends. Really striking plant. Thank you all for your comments. Ben

Now Ben, didn't you just go and post a "gotta have" or two? I love Special Candy, and your "And the Band Played on" has perfect color! And Pandora's Treasure is magnificent. But they all pale compared to those seedlings! #s2, 4, and 5 could find a spot in my garden today! I love the colors. You are really on a roll there! Probably my favorite is the one from Worth It All, but as soon as I say that, then I think of the colors on the one from Johnny Cash. Then the beauty from Darla Anita. Face it. You're gonna have to be doing some introducing.

Funny thing about seedlings is that they're like pets. They are not as fancy as the recent intros, but they are still near and dear.
#2 seedling was my favorite last year and it surprised me by almost doubling in scape height this year. #4 seedling is so unique and I am really looking forward to how it will look as it matures. #1 and #5 are siblings, yet look so different, except they both have excellent growth and bloom habits. I didn't even notice #3 last year, but I am impressed by how the color combination improves at the end of the day.

Precious Candy is such a beautiful plant in person and I must have taken more than 10 pictures of it.

Likewise with Aunt Joanne, which is a gift plant. Didn't expect the edge on it to be so pronounced.

Candied Popcorn Perfection suffered from thrips this year (and a lot of the plants did). But still a very good daylily.

Thank you all for your comments.
