Recent pics of some seedlings

9 years ago

Yesterday and today were fun days in the seedling beds. A few of my seedlings are showing some promise with nice tall scapes, large blooms, and good bud count.

Here's a Johnny Cash seedling 6.5" bloom and a few teeth on the sepals.

This one is a Last Lama kid, blooms are consitantly the same day after day, nice scape, 6.5" blooms

One of my favorites is this Red Friday seedling. I love this shade of pink with the lavender water mark. I have a better pic of this one taken today, don't have it on Photobucket yet,

Another Red Friday kid

Sibling to the one above, but with a better branched scape and higher bud count (25 buds) 6" bloom

Lovely flowers. Great to see the four o'clock in full bloom. Had one blossom open last evening, yellow with red veining. Also like the apricot Profussion Zinnia. I also let the portulaca reseed, it's such a carefree plant.

Thanks everybody..for the comments on my seedlings. :) Nancy...the white seedling is probably a dip...but I haven't tried to set any pods on it. Maybe I'll do that today to see what ploidy it is. I'd be glad to share some of it with you too. Email me from "my page". Jan

WONDERFUL JAN!!! thank for sharing your babies w/us. I hate when I can't read the TAGS!!!!! DARN IT!!! When I Started collecting Daylillys --I think it was the second batch of Fans I had recieved from Auction wins--The French bulldog puppies got into the DL bed and STOLE all the TAGS!!! what a messup! They didn't touch the plants ,but had a field with the tags!!--this year all the plants that got "PUPPY MIXUP" are sending up Scapes--I do hope Some of my sweet forum Friends can help me figure out who is who!!! Since that messup I keep all new "LITTLE MONSTERS" in their own Paddock with lots of chew toys!!! cole-canines and daylillies in mendo

They are all fabulous, I can't pick a favorite from any of these, they are all too nice. :) I wish I had the time to pollinate more flowers, by the time I get home from work, it's too late, or the ones I would like to cross with each other aren't blooming at the same time. Oh well. I guess fewer seeds means fewer seedlings to have to build beds for. Thanks for sharing! Karen

nat4b.......That cross ( 5th and 6th) was Red Friday X Randy Stephens. Red Friday has not been an easy pod parent for me. I did manage to get 2 pods set to Randy Stephens, and those pods didn't produce many seeds either. Now I don't even try to set pods on RF, just too frustrating for me. I do use RF's pollen though.

Tim, I should post a pic of the bed of over 600 seedlings I'm about to burn down. I've had far more losers than winners. I think I'm keeping maybe 6-7 seedlings out of that particular bed, but I do enjoy making my crosses, and occasionally something shows up worth keeping.

Thanks for your answer about the cross, Linda! And the comments on Red Friday. It's not my favorite DL because it is short and looks kinda like a piece of cloth after too many washings. I thought it gave teeth but just googled and Randy Stephens is a toothy flower itself.
I thought about using RF for some crosses but only tried with Chance Encounter last year.
Again, your seedlings from RF are gorgeous!
