The seedling!!!! That seedling is to die for. I was drooling over all your other photos, and then I came to the seedling. I just can't stop looking at it. Congratulations on an outstanding seedling. Please post more photos of that one!

Ellie, DD was one of my very first DLs and I still really like it. Joie de Vivre is supposed to poly sometimes, but hasn't yet for me in two seasons. Today I finally had a better bloom on Crystal Rapids: Flameburst had its FFO for this season (bad pic - it was in an awkward spot to get to) Greek Goddess - I'm a sucker for this kind of form. Thinking of You. I like the ruffles, but am not bowled over by the overall effect. Sunset Lagoon - not something I'd have chosen, but was a bonus from John Shooter. I'm liking it very much - good substance, commanding color. By the way, as you can see, we finally had rain! Happy Dance! Elizabeth

Thanks Kay....I've still got quite a few reblooming and still seeing a few scapes coming on. Yep, I blame Rita for quite a few of my purchases last fall and this spring. LOL She always posts some beauties doesn't she. And then of course theres someone who kept posting Clown Parade all season, so I'm just going to have to try to get that one, not to mention posting that Maryotts was offering Linda Beck as a bonus!!! :) Oh well, it's only money, and we can't take it with us, can we, so we might as well enjoy something beautiful with it here on earth, I think. I got about the same in rainfall, and it's amazing how green everything seemed to get overnight. I'm on my way out to mow the grass now...I was just waiting for it to get a bit cooler before doing it. Jan

Hi Rachelle! I'm over here north of Muskegon, my first hummer showed up the last week in April last year and I had about a dozen regulars (that I know of) up untill October. I expect more to stick around this year because I planted a lot of native flowering plants for them. I have my feeders ready to put out for them and I will get some hanging baskets and pots of flowers just as soon as the stores have them out! My Blue Birds are here and checking out nest boxes so the Hummers wont be too far behind! Bring it on! I'm ready!!!!!!(now if my fish pond would just thaw out!) Lisa

Autumn Wood is still my favorite - your great photos of it in the past inspired me to get it last year and it is even prettier in real life!

Beautiful! The seedling is yummy, but Lilacs For Galadriel is the one that left me breathless. Absolutely wonderful!

I actually gave a "wow" when I got to your seedling. That's definitely one to keep at the front of the line. Details!

Gorgeous daylilies, and a perfect seedling that I REALLY like. Don't be disturbed tonight when you see a flashlight out in your yard. It's just a big lightning bug, I wouldn't worry about it at all.

After I said that, I thought, what if something happens to that seedling! I really don't know where you live & wouldn't take it if I did. Probably.

Well folks, for those of you loving that seedling...I'm afraid I can't take credit for it. I won it on the LA last fall. The past couple of blooms which looked like the one pictured above, have been totally different from the first blooms. They were also on a different scape so I'm wondering if it isn't two different seedlings that maybe got planted in the same pot or something. Here's a couple of photos from the first scape that bloomed. What do ya'll think?
The first blooms look more like the photo the seller has on the LA.
Here they are.

As you can see, the edge is very different as is the color. The texture is very different too.
I may need to dig this one this fall and separate the fans, don't you think.

Lovely, all of them. I really like Karen Sue but have to choose Damascan Velvet as my favorite of the batch.

Jan, Lilacs for Galadriel is new to me, but I really like the color. The seedling is fabulous too.

Jan, I think that is two different seedlings together. The shape and the edge are too different. Be sure to separate them. The one you posted first is such a killer.

Debra, my thoughts exactly...I will separate them this fall.
Thanks for your input on this.

Jan, I don't think they are the same seedling either. By Fall, you may see a difference in the foliage...one may be larger or more blue/green. I would twist-tie a mini-blind tag around the plant with the scape that has the flower above...just so I could look closely when I dig it up. Let us know what happens.
